CHAPTER 477: CHAPTER 286: EXCHANGE (PART 2)

Although it won’t completely affect your relationship, I think a little more complication is still achievable. Think about it, if you agree to me, your life will be much easier."

Luo Ye’s lips curled into a smile: "Are you openly threatening me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll report you?"

"Suit yourself." Hang Menglin spoke coldly: "You should know that for someone with my personality, going to these lengths means I’ve already cast away my pride. If you still refuse, then let’s just show our respective capabilities."

Luo Ye’s expression also turned cold: "Fine, do you think I’ll be scared?"

"You..." Hang Menglin was so angry she felt choked up inside. She came to Luo Ye with her heart on her sleeve, yet Luo Ye showed such an attitude. If it weren’t for retaining some sense of rationality, she’d really like to shove her out of the car.

After a while, Luo Ye said leisurely, "If what she’s done is limited to what we’ve seen so far, I can tell you, Grandpa won’t send her away, but she’ll definitely have no more ties with the Wen Family."

Hang Menglin turned pale with anger and shot her a fierce glance: "Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"Say it earlier? How would I know if she hasn’t done anything else that’s outrageous? Your attitude is too suspicious." Luo Ye cast a glance at Hang Menglin: "Also, I need to correct something. The Yu Family has proposed marriage to the Ye Family before, and it happened before I knew Ye Xuan, but they were rejected."

"Did you ask Ye Xuan about this?"

"I did." Luo Ye didn’t want to elaborate further and lied; this was something she hadn’t actually verified.

"I suggest you ask again." Hang Menglin snorted through her nose: "We’re even now, starting tomorrow everything goes back to normal."

Luo Ye lightly glanced at her and stayed silent.

For the rest of the journey, the car fell back into silence. Luo Ye occasionally studied Hang Menglin, her performance today was indeed surprising.

For the sake of the Liang family’s affairs, she deliberately leaked information about the Yu Family to Luo Ye. What kind of bond was worth her doing so?

Or could it be that Hang Menglin was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and everyone had misunderstood her? Impossible! Luo Ye immediately rejected this idea—Hang Menglin’s past behavior was not an act...

Before the car reached the school gate, from a distance, she saw Ye Xuan standing in front of the vehicle, his figure tall and proud, complementing the military green jeep next to him, making him look even cooler.

Girls passing by kept looking back at him... A smile played on Luo Ye’s lips. Hang Menglin was right—any girl who knew of Ye Xuan’s strength would be unable to resist liking him in person. Should she consider herself lucky then?

Hang Menglin naturally saw Ye Xuan as well, and a cold smile appeared on her lips. Instead of slowing down, she stepped harder on the gas. Ye Xuan quickly sidestepped to the narrow passage left open by the school gate, standing firm. Hang Menglin had no choice but to slam the brakes, sticking her head out: "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Luo Ye slowly exhaled, her heart had just leaped to her throat. Even though she knew about Ye Xuan’s skills, who knew if Hang Menglin would do something irrational?

Ye Xuan approached the car, expressionless, "Hang Menglin, give Luo Ye a half-hour break."

"Why?" Hang Menglin laughed mockingly: "Because you’re special, or she’s special? Or do you want to be the second Feng Tianzhi?"

Ye Xuan straightened up and made a gesture of invitation: "You can refuse me. But then, there are things that you can’t complain about if I happen to let slip."

"You..." Hang Menglin’s face fluctuated, then she commanded Luo Ye: "Get out of the car. Report back to me in half an hour. If you’re a minute late, run ten laps and so on."

"Yes." Luo Ye got out of the car, and before the door was even fully closed, the vehicle sped away. She couldn’t help the smile forming on her lips—Hang Menglin’s anger wasn’t really about Ye Xuan, but because she’d revealed so much to her earlier and now felt enraged and humiliated...

"Get in the car." Almost lifting her, Ye Xuan helped Luo Ye into the car, went to the other side, entered the vehicle, and quickly drove away from the school gate.

"That, what secret do you know about Coach Hang?" Luo Ye uncomfortably asked.

"I’m not sure." Ye Xuan shook his head.

"Ah?" Luo Ye stared at him stunned: "Then just now..."

"I was bluffing her. I thought it over on the way here. She was so eager to talk to you alone; chances are it’s about the Liang family’s concerns. With her character, to do such a thing, there must be some untold secret; so, I gave it a try."

"Cunning!" Luo Ye chuckled: "Indeed, she came to me about the Liang family matter. She also talked about the Yu Family. Tell me the truth, what exactly happened when the Yu Family proposed marriage to the Ye Family last time?"

"I was right to stop you, initially worried that she would make some unreasonable demands on you. Now it seems the situation is more serious than I imagined." Ye Xuan parked the car in a secluded corner and held Luo Ye’s hand: "First, answer me, do you believe me?"

"Of course, otherwise would I have directly asked?" Luo Ye replied playfully with a smile.

A smile flickered in Ye Xuan’s eyes: "That’s good. By the way, did I ever tell you that I have a Great Grandpa?"

"No." Luo Ye thought carefully: "It seems no one has mentioned it to me. Oh my, does your family have four generations living together? Do you have a sister who is married? Wouldn’t that make it five generations?"
