After hearing Ye Hongxuan's words, Lian Mengzhu couldn't contain her tears any longer, and they began to flow uncontrollably. "That's my daughter, the one I bore for ten months, and now I can't even attend her engagement as her mother."
The realization of this fact unleashed a torrent of sorrow within her, intensifying her resentment towards Lian Zixin. It was all Lian Zixin's doing.
The sister she had always cherished had turned her own biological daughter into a stranger. The inability to even recognize her now fueled her deep-seated anger.
Observing Lian Mengzhu's grief, Ye Hongxuan also felt uneasy. Despite that, he tried to console her. "Don't dwell on it too much. Pretend you know nothing. Let the past remain in the past."
Though challenging, that seemed to be their only recourse. In addition to paternal opposition, there was also resistance from Ye Leng'an, who showed no inclination to acknowledge their relationship.
