"Ye Leng'an, what is that attitude?" Ye Shen slammed the table hard. "Are you disowning your parents?"
He flamed with so much indignation that he looked like a father who was irritated by his naughty daughter. However, if one looked closely, a trace of guilt could be seen under his anger.
"I'm not sure if you're my parents yet." Compared to his exasperation, Ye Leng'an appeared much calmer. "But my legal guardians are definitely not you."
After she moved her household registration out of that Ye family, she directly hacked into the public security system and changed her guardians. She remembered that she chose a person named Huangfu Ruiling to be her guardian. She remembered that he was about 32 years old.
Of course, Huangfu Ruiling did not know that she suddenly showed up in his household register. She did it very discreetly, and at least, she was sure that he did not know her existence.
The reason why she did this was to avoid being controlled both by these two Ye families. Although she had already experienced two lifetimes, she was still underage and needed a guardian.
"Ye Leng'an, what did you do?" Ye Shen involuntarily panicked at her composure.
He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that the girl in front of him seemed to know everything.
That made him feel as if all his trump cards had been exposed to the sun.
"You don't need to know what I did." Ye Leng'an shook her head with a smile. "But, don't you think that you should give me an explanation for what you've done?"
"Leng'an, you…" Li Zhaohui managed a smile. "What nonsense are you talking about? You're our daughter! If you hadn't been swapped by mistake, you would have grown up by our side all these years. I know that you might not be able to adapt to such changes in a short period of time, but you can't hurt our hearts like this!"
"That's right." Ye Shen took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "I don't know where you heard those rumors, but we're your biological parents. There's no doubt about it. If you don't believe me, we can go for a DNA test."
"There's no need to do so." Ye Leng'an smiled and shook her head. "I don't know what the people behind you have done, but I don't believe that you are my parents. As long as I don't believe you, you're not my parents."
Although Ye Leng'an looked careless, she sounded firm and determined.
Ye Shen and Li Zhaohui felt cold all over, sweating. Their heads were buzzing, and they couldn't even think at all.
"Dad, and mom." Ye Ping, who had been standing at the side, had no idea what was going on. He was completely confused. "What does sister mean?"
"You are Ye Ping, right?" Ye Leng'an looked at Ye Ping with a smile. "I mean I'm not your sister, nor am I your parents' daughter. I will never treat them as my parents."
"What?" Ye Ping immediately jumped up and scolded her directly to her face, "You dared to disown your parents. You're an ingrate. You…"
"Take your hand back." Ye Leng'an still had a smile on her face, but this time she sounded ice-cold. "I hate it when people point their fingers at me. If you don't want your fingers anymore, I can help you break them."
Her tone was cold and unemotional. She didn't seem to be joking at all. She meant it.
Ye Shen and Li Zhaohui doted on their only son, which contributed to Ye Ping's arrogant personality. Even so, Ye Ping's blood froze when Ye Leng'an treated him with indifference. He wanted to continue scolding her. However, when he met Ye Lengan's gaze, the flame of his arrogance was immediately extinguished.
"Very good." Ye Leng'an nodded and then looked around the house. She asked after her eyes settled on Ye Shen, "How is it? Do you like my house?"
"This house isn't very old and it's well located. Its price may be two to three million. To be honest, it's much more expensive than your house!"
Ye Shen didn't say anything. He couldn't deny the truth that Ye Leng'an had told him. At the same time, he wasn't sure what Ye Leng'an's intentions were.
He felt a little regretful that he had come today. However, he gave in to the greed in his heart after seeing this house.
"You don't have to worry about how much that Ye family gave me." Ye Leng'an sat up straight and stared at him. "I left that place without taking anything with me. As for this house, I bought it with all my savings. It should be the only valuable thing I have."
Ye Shen tried to compose himself and then looked at Ye Leng'an in confusion. "What exactly do you want?"
"It's not what I want. It's what you want." Ye Leng'an pursed her lips into a smile. "This house is just one of the possessions. If you want it, I can transfer its ownership to you."
She didn't care about this house. However, she would not give her things away for free. She was willing to make a promise to that wealthy Ye family because no matter what happened in the middle, the fact that she had been raised by them for so many years was undeniable. But she had nothing to do with this one, so she would not gift anything to them.
"What do you want from me?" After a moment of silence, Ye Shen said, "You won't give me a house for free, will you?"
Before he came here, he had indeed wanted to take the house as his own. However, he had to cast this thought aside after all the things Ye Leng'an had done and said today. It could even be said that Ye Leng'an set up a showdown with him. She said that she could give this house to him, which made him suspect that there was some conspiracy behind this.
"Ha-ha, this world is very fair." Ye Leng'an said with a smile, "You should know the principle of equivalent exchange, right? As long as you can give me what I want, there's no reason why I can't give the house to you as compensation."
"Are you serious?" Before Ye Shen spoke, Li Zhaohui could not contain herself. "Are you going to transfer the ownership of this house to us?"
At this moment, Li Zhaohui gazed at Ye Leng'an with an eager shine in her eyes. Her greed and ambition were completely exposed.
"That depends on the things you can offer me!" Ye Leng'an continued, "You should know very well what I want to know. As long as your answer can satisfy me, the house can be registered under your name today."
"Hubby," Li Zhaohui whispered into Ye Shen's ear, "Ye Leng'an seems to know a lot of things. She is a person of determination and must have already confirmed that she's not our daughter. She takes such an aggressive posture that she may investigate it herself even if we don't tell her. And if she finds out anything, we won't have any bargaining chips left."
No one would complain about having too many houses. Anyway, she had to get this house today.
Ye Shen also appeared to wobble, but then he looked extremely hesitant as if he thought of something.
Li Zhaohui knew what was going on in Ye Shen's mind. She continued, "I know that you want to be more careful, but that person hasn't contacted us for so long. Perhaps she has already forgotten it. Do you insist on keeping it and letting the chance slip through your fingers? Even if you don't look out for yourself, you have to look out for Pingping! He has to get married and have children in the future! With this house, it will be easier for him to have a girlfriend! Besides, we can rent this house out now and have more income every month in the future."
"Dad and mom, what are you talking about?" Ye Ping urged, "Tell her what she wants to know! This is a house, not some cabbage on the roadside."
He didn't know what was going on, but he clearly remembered that before he came, his parents had said that this house would be his. Although he was young, he knew very well about the importance of a house.
At the urging of his wife and son, the countenance of Ye Zhong's face began to change. Finally, as if he had made a decision, he looked at Ye Leng'an and asked, "Tell me, how did you know that you were not our biological daughter?"
"You don't need to know that." Ye Leng'an said indifferently, "You only need to tell me what you know. Don't forget, I'm the one who's giving you the chips now."
Ye Shen gritted his teeth and said, "How do I know if you'll keep your promise and give me the house after I tell you?"
"You can choose not to believe me." Ye Leng'an didn't make any promises. "You can leave now. However, after you leave, I'll sell this house! By the time you want to tell me, the money will probably be used up! After all, you know I was a big spender in the past."
"We'll tell you everything." Li Zhaohui was anxious. She tugged at Ye Shen's sleeves and urged, "Hubby, tell her now!"
"All right then," Ye Shen finally spoke up. "I will tell you everything I know, but you have to keep your promise. You will transfer the ownership of the house later."
"Sure." Ye Leng'an nodded. "However, let me remind you. Don't try to lie to me, otherwise, even if I give you the house today, I'll have a way to get it back tomorrow. Moreover, I'll charge interest when the time comes."
