Chapter 46 -46: The Tempted Academic Prodigy (20)
An and Ye families were led to the small villa when Su Li had not yet arrived.
A few steps away from them stood an armed guard, fully equipped for combat. An Fu’s heart raced with panic upon seeing these men, but Mr. An, who had been through significant events before, managed to keep a calm facade despite his sinking heart.
They sat silently on the sofa, not uttering a word.
The few people from the Ye Family seemed much more excited.
Aside from Mrs. Ye, who continuously fidgeted with her fingers and had a complex expression, Ye Shizhi and Ye Xiaomei wore smiles throughout the trip, full of anticipation for the imminent meeting with Su Li.
“Good afternoon to everyone…”
Su Li stood at the railing on the second floor, dressed in a white gown, her hands resting on the banister as she lazily greeted the people below.
Immediately, An Fu and his son stood up from the sofa and bent at the waist to nod, “Hello, Professor Su…”
At that moment, they had no trace of pride being insulted by a junior.
Status determines position; even if Su Li were merely a child, both An father and son would bend their backs.
Of course, what they truly thought inside, nobody cared about.
“My daughter…”
“She looks so much alike…”
Ye Shizhi and Ye Xiaomei exclaimed almost in unison.
Facing Su Li in person, Ye Xiaomei felt as though she was seeing her mother, who had passed away early in her youth, miraculously standing before her.
But compared to Old Madam Ye’s gentle beauty, Su Li appeared much colder and more detached.
Mrs. Ye followed behind her husband and younger sister-in-law without raising her head or speaking.
Su Li also heard what the Ye Family said, but she showed little reaction, her face wearing a light, polite smile as she spoke, “I’ve heard you’ve been trying to contact me.”
“I wonder what matter it is that I could possibly assist you with…”
Su Li took the initiative to delve into the day’s main subject.

Both the An and Ye families were taken aback; they had imagined many scenarios.
They thought perhaps Su Li would scold them in anger, or mock and trouble them, or even put forward some unbearable demands.
But they had mentally prepared themselves before arriving, ready to agree to any harsh demands, teeth clenched if necessary.
However, what they hadn’t expected was for Su Li to show neither pleasure nor anger, even being exceedingly polite and courteous.
Yet, the first words she uttered sent their spirits plunging to the deepest abyss.
There’s nothing to fear if you have demands, but a person with no wants is most fearsome…
Mrs. Ye didn’t have the far-reaching thoughts of the others present.
For her, the person in question was her long-lost daughter.
This recognition inevitably brought about a misplaced parental instinct within her as she faced Su Li.
Looking at the person before her, both familiar and foreign.
Mrs. Ye’s heart was also joyful, but this feeling was somewhat overshadowed by concern for the foster daughter she had raised for nearly twenty years.
She anxiously interjected first, “Wan He is still your sister, after all. Even if she has done something to offend you, you should show some magnanimity and forgive her.”
Su Li dug at her ear, as if she had heard incorrectly.
That manner of speaking… as if giving orders… her brain must be broken…
“What sister? My parents only have one daughter… We haven’t sworn any sibling oaths, so how could your daughter be my sister?”
Su Li’s smile faded significantly, her mouth twitching into a forced grin, finding the situation ludicrous.
Did she just say she wants to be their daughter again?
What audacity…
When Ye Shizhi and Ye Xiaomei heard what Mrs. Ye said, they sensed that trouble was brewing.
On ordinary days, they didn’t see their own wife/sister-in-law being so foolish. Why was it that at the crucial moment things fell apart?
After so many years of separation, without having raised the other, to use blood relations to oppress the other upon meeting, no one would tolerate it, let alone the rarely seen genius among geniuses present.
“And… Mrs. Ye, do you really understand your daughter?”
“Do you know what she has done?”
Su Li snapped her fingers, and a stack of documents was handed to the Ye Family members.
“Please…”
Mrs. Ye, not very pleased, took the documents, still muttering, “How could I possibly not understand my daughter whom I’ve raised for so many years, she’s always been obedient and thoughtful…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Mrs. Ye suddenly widened her eyes, a ghost-like expression on her face, trembling hands flipping page after page, frantic and disbelieving…
Thin as they were, these few sheets of paper seemed to hold the weight of a thousand gold, Mrs. Ye’s frail body unable to bear their force.
Scattering everywhere, the papers fell to the floor, and Mrs. Ye also collapsed to the ground in instantly.
For a moment she seemed spellbound, with a vacant stare and an expression of agony, “Impossible, this… this can’t be true…”
“It’s all fake, it’s fake…”
“Wife, what’s wrong with you…” The relationship between Ye Shizhi and his own wife was still quite good, seeing her in this state, he couldn’t help feeling terribly heartbroken.
Ye Xiaomei stepped forward, picking up the documents from the ground.
She was furious upon turning to the first page.
Just the accounts of Ye Wanhe directly or indirectly instructing others to bully boys and girls totaled more than ten incidents…
In each case, Ye Wanhe was extremely secretive in her actions, so much so that no one around her noticed how dark her inner nature was.
The reasons for each victim’s persecution were always laughably trivial.
Maybe it was on a day when Ye Wanhe was in a bad mood, and someone happened to wear the same outfit as her, or maybe some behavior of theirs made her feel disgusted, perhaps, maybe…
In short, all sorts of insignificant reasons, yet they caused another person a lifetime of psychological trauma and misery.
Ye Xiaomei was very angry, her entire face turned the color of a liver.
Of course, her anger was not out of sympathy and pity for the victims; she was just…
Ashamed. All the actions of the Ye Family’s Lady, once revealed, brought only disgrace upon the Ye Family.
And deep down, she harbored a silent reproach that the other party hadn’t been careful enough in their actions…
In a family like theirs, to claim they were as pure as clean water and cabbage was absolutely impossible. As long as they didn’t cross the line, or rather, if you have the ability and status to deal with the consequences of your actions, then it was fine.
Such were the rules within their circle.
But just the acts Ye Wanhe had committed shouldn’t have been enough to cause her sister-in-law to collapse on the spot…
Ye Xiaomei continued to read, and the more she read, the more utterly shocked she was.
What kind of Poison Snake had their family been raising all these years?
At the mere age of six, she could nonchalantly throw away a baby.
No one would have imagined a young girl who was still a child herself could be so malicious and venomous, let alone…
Hiring a murderer.
Ye Wanhe had known Su Li’s identity before all of them.
