章 696: Contempting the Rules

"No, Ye Leng'an. You mustn't inform Master Hhuangfu," Yuan Silei pleaded urgently. She even attempted to reach for Ye Leng'an's hand, but she skillfully avoided her. Looking at Ye Leng'an, her tone softened compared to before, "If you tell him, our family is truly done for."

"The fate of your family rests entirely on your decision." Ye Leng'an gazed at Yuan Silei and calmly stated, "I've said it before, treat me as a stranger. However, it seems you haven't taken my words to heart. You've caused me trouble, so I should gain some interest in return."

"Ye Leng'an, I promise I will never appear before you again." Yuan Silei quickly grasped Ye Leng'an's meaning. Her expression showed no fear, but she still assured her, "Even if I see you from a distance, I'll avoid you. Is that acceptable?"

Though she was aware that Ye Leng'an might be the only one capable of curing her illness, when it came to the survival of the family business, she had no choice but to yield.
