Lian Mengzhu kept her head down, avoiding any eye contact with Ye Yikun. Yet, she could keenly sense his piercing gaze upon her. Uncertain whether her response would appease him, she dared not lift her gaze.
Though she was the victim in this matter, the perpetrator was her own biological sister. Hence, she fretted over the possibility of her father redirecting his anger towards her.
Her heart seethed with hatred towards Lian Zixin. The events orchestrated by her sister had led to a decade-long separation from her biological daughter, jeopardizing her standing within the Ye family. All the kindness she had extended to Lian Zixin over the years seemed utterly wasted.
Ye Yikun remained silent, observing Lian Mengzhu intently.
This only heightened Lian Mengzhu's mental strain, leaving her feeling fragile and unsteady.
