Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“But what should I do?” Ye Leng’an pursed her lips and said, “I don’t want anything. I just want the law to bring justice back to me.”
In the beginning, she really did not want to make a big deal out of it. However, since things had already reached this point, she could not let it go easily. “You…” Even Mrs. Zhao, who had been remaining calm, could not help but feel emotional at Ye Leng’an’s attitude. At this moment, the smile on her face had long disappeared. “Ye Leng’an, there’s a saying that goes, ‘Take a step back and life will be easier.’ Sometimes, when the time comes, one has to take a step back so they won’t regret it.”
“I only know that if I give them an inch, they will take a mile.” Ye Leng’an smiled wantonly. “Besides, as long as I make the decision myself, I won’t regret it even if I have to bleed.
“You’re young and impetuous now, so, you don’t think it matters. However, this society is very cruel.” Mrs. Zhao looked at Ye Leng’an and said in a threatening tone, “I don’t know how you managed to buy this villa, but I think that you must have spent most of your savings on it! You’re still a student now. When you go to university and get a job in the future, you’ll need money! Moreover, having more friends means more options. Today, if you let Yanran off, you can make friends with our Zhao family and everyone will be happy, isn’t that great?”
Ye Leng’an’s eyes flashed with ridicule after she heard that. She naturally understood what Mrs. Zhao meant. If she was willing to drop the case, she could get a sum of money. On the contrary, if she insisted on suing Zhao Yanran, then the Zhao family would be her enemy.
“Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Yanran and I can’t be friends anymore. Do you think the Zhao family can be my friend? Moreover, even if I drop the case today, I don’t think you’ll let me off. Since we’re destined to be enemies, why should I give in?”
At this moment, Mrs. Zhao’s face had already turned ashen. When she looked at Ye Leng’an, her expression became even more gloomy. “Then it seems you really want to go against the Zhao family. If that’s the case, then don’t blame us for bullying the weak.”
After saying so much, she could tell that the girl in front of her had no intention of backing down at all. Letting them in today was just to play with them. She had never been humiliated like this before. Today, she had a feud with Ye Leng’an.
“Don’t talk In such a high-sounding tone.” Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into a disdainful smile. “Mrs. Zhao, instead of spending the time to negotiate with me here, why don’t you teach your daughter how to behave properly? Zhao Yanran offended me with her arrogant personality todav, but she might offend someone else tomorrow. You can’t always clean up the mess for her, right?”
“Ye Leng’an, you…” Zhao Yanran was exasperated. She wanted to retort but was stopped by her mother.
“Yanran, shut up.”
After scolding Zhao Yanran, Mrs. Zhao looked at Ye Leng’an with a darkened face. “Since you are unwilling to drop the case, then I have nothing to say. However, when the time comes, if you lose the lawsuit and end up losing both your life and money, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
“Goodbye, Mrs. Zhao.” Ye Leng’an immediately showed Mrs. Zhao the door. “I hope that Mrs. Zhao will not come to visit me again in the future. I’m just a student and don’t have much time to socialize. I still have to focus on my studies.”
Mrs. Zhao’s face was ashen as she left with Zhao Yanran.
Although Zhao Yanran felt disgruntled, she had to leave with her mother.
“Mom, why did you let Ye Leng’an off so easily?” Back in the car, Zhao Yanran couldn’t help but complain, “How arrogant she is! She turned up her nose at us. She was just the fake daughter of a rich family. If she hadn’t been switched with Ye Xiyuan back then, she wouldn’t have been qualified to study at Sheng’an High School now!”
“Alright, shut up. It’s giving me a headache.”
Zhao Yanran’s incessant complaints rang in Mrs. Zhao’s ears, and she couldn’t help but rub her temples. Then, she looked at Zhao Yanran, her tone full of disappointment. “It’s already at this point, and you still have the mood to complain. You’d better think about how to deal with the upcoming lawsuit! ”
Now that the negotiations had broken down and Ye Leng’an refused to drop the case, the matter would definitely be brought to court. The police wouldn’t relent, and the evidence submitted to the court would all be against Yanran.
“It should be fine!”
After Zhao Yanran calmed down, she became a little scared. “Mom, what should we do now? Will I end up in jail? Mom, I don’t want to go to jail.”
She couldn’t imagine what it would be like if she went to jail. She could not help but start to panic at this thought..
