Li Deze’s words plunged Ye Xiyuan into a moment of silence; she refrained from responding.

Observing Ye Xiyuan’s demeanor, Li Deze didn’t relent; instead, he pressed on relentlessly, “Ye Xiyuan, say something! Aren’t you usually quite eloquent?

Why the sudden silence?”

“If you’ve already said that much, what more is there for me to say?” With things having reached this point, Ye Xiyuan saw no need for further pretense. “Since you claim acknowledgment of everything, why bother coming to me? Do you expect me to reveal my inner struggles to you?”

The disdain in her eyes and the coldness in her words caught Li Deze off guard. He had never witnessed this side of Ye Xiyuan, a stark contrast to the person he once knew.

Facing Li Deze i s seemingly relentless pursuit, Ye Xiyuan coldly remarked, “What’s the matter? Can’t handle my transformation? Initially, I had no intention of severing ties with you. But since you’re so oblivious, I see no reason to show any mercy. Indeed, I was the one who convinced Dad to seize an opportunity when the Li family faced trouble. But, so what? Isn’t this the norm in the business world? When things are good, everyone benefits. However, the moment you falter, you’re liable to be stabbed in the back. It’s common, so why the need for an inquisition?”

“Ye Xiyuan, I never expected you to be like this.” Fuming at Ye Xiyuan’s words, Li Deze struggled to articulate his thoughts. “l was truly blind before. I actually believed you were a kind and virtuous girl.”

“l can be kind and virtuous, as long as you deserve it,” Ye Xiyuan retorted with a sarcastic smile. “Actually, every girl is the same, with multiple facets. In different situations, we present different faces. Initially, I planned to leave a favorable impression on each other. However, if you insist on digging into this now, there’s no need for me to continue the charade.’

Initially, she had no intention of severing ties with Li Deze. She thought there might still be opportunities to leverage him in the future. However, with Li Deze’s relentlessness, there was no need for her to maintain the facade of an understanding person.

Furthermore, the Li family was already on the brink. Li Deze’s family was about to lose everything, leaving her with no constraints. Additionally, she was about to participate in the college entrance examination, poised to become this year’s top scorer. She had no reason to show mercy.

“Acting, huh?” Li Deze’s lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. “So, you’ve been acting in front of me all this time. l, like a fool, was the only one deceived by you. Ye Xiyuan, you’re truly frightening.”

He never fathomed that everything was a charade. Reflecting on how many times he had defended this duplicitous girl, he couldn’t help feeling like a complete fool.

“Believe what you want,” Ye Xiyuan responded nonchalantly. “In the future, let’s not even bother with greetings when we meet. We can just be strangers. 1 think that’s what you’d prefer.”

With those words, Ye Xiyuan turned and left without mercy.

Left standing in place, Li Deze appeared utterly lost, as if abandoned by the entire world.

After witnessing this dramatic scene, Ye Lengan blinked and decided to leave.

At this moment, if she walked out, Li Deze might think she was there to mock him. Better to avoid it.

However, as she turned to leave, she inadvertently stepped on something, producing a soft “crack” sound that drew Li Deze’ s attention.

“Who’s there?” Startled by the noise, Li Deze sharply turned his head towards the source.

Since the discovery was inevitable, there was no need to continue concealing herself.

Ye Lengan walked out unabashedly.

“Ye Lengan, why are you here?” Li Deze was surprised to see her. “What brings you here?”

Caught off guard by Ye Leng’an’s presence, he suddenly recollected the recent dispute with Ye Xiyuan. Ye Lengan must have overheard everything, and his expression turned grim..
