Huangfu Ruiling’s stance only worsened the already grim expression on Ye Hongxuan’s face. He hadn’t expected Huangfu Ruiling, as the head of a prominent family, to join in the antics with Ye Leng’an.

“Master Huangfu, Miss Ye, let’s not overdo it,” Murong Xingrui spoke up, still standing by Ye Wanwan’s side, lending her support. “Forgiveness should be extended where possible. Wanwan has already been severely injured. Why continue pressing her step by step?”

He still harbored feelings for Ye Wanwan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have persisted in this marriage despite the circumstances. Even knowing that Ye Wanwan wasn’t as innocent as he’d believed, he couldn’t bring himself to be ruthless.

Furthermore, Ye Wanwan was still his fiancée. As a man, if he couldn’t even stand up for his betrothed, it would be utter incompetence.

“Step by step?” Ye Leng’an’s response seemed to treat Murong Xingrui’s words as a joke. She looked at Murong Xingrui with a smile and said, “Young Master Murong, really? Who do you think brought about this situation?”

Murong Xingrui was at a loss for words.

Because the mastermind behind all this was none other than Ye Wanwan.

Ye Leng’an wasn’t expecting an answer from Murong Xingrui, so she continued, “Everyone must pay for their actions, even Ye Wanwan. She’s no longer a child. If she dared to falsely accuse me like this, she must have the courage to face my retaliation!

Murong Xingrui couldn’t help but furrow his brow at Ye Leng’an’s aggressive demeanor.

No matter how beautiful Ye Leng’an was, he couldn’t appreciate her arrogance at that moment. He disliked such a domineering and flamboyant woman.

Glancing at the visibly weakened Ye Wanwan, Murong Xingrui then turned to Ye Leng’an. “Miss Ye, while what you say holds some truth, both you and Wanwan are twin sisters. You shouldn’t be so aggressive considering your blood ties.”

Although Ye Wanwan had repeatedly warned him not to reveal this matter, given the current circumstances between the two families, it seemed futile to keep it hidden, didn’t it?

Ye Wanwan couldn’t find her voice at the moment. Her grip on Murong Xingrui’s sleeve conveyed her feelings.

She hadn’t expected Murong Xingrui to expose the truth so blatantly in public.

This was just an excuse provided by her grandfather, and she was certain that Ye Leng’an would never acknowledge this excuse. Now that Murong Xingrui had bluntly revealed the matter, wasn’t he essentially forcing Ye Leng’an to reveal the truth?

She could almost imagine that by tomorrow, the entire Hidden World would know that she was not the real young lady of the Ye family but an impostor.

The reason she had been willing to publicly admit to framing Ye Leng’an was simply to conceal the truth of this matter. But now, because of Murong Xingrui, everything she had done had become a joke.

Murong Xingrui’s words caused an uproar. Who would have thought that attending a social event today would lead to such a revelation?

At this moment, everyone recalled the rumors in the Hidden World. But hadn’t the Ye family issued a statement? Why were they now claiming that Ye Leng’an was indeed a member of the Ye family and even a twin sister of Ye Wanwan? What was the truth behind all this?

“Twin sisters?” Ye Leng’an smirked and said with interest, “So that’s what Ye Wanwan told you! But it’s a pity. While there is some blood relation between me and Ye Wanwan, we’re not twin sisters. We’re more like cousins!”

Hearing this, Murong Xingrui felt perplexed. Cousins? So, Ye Leng’an should be the daughter of Ye Wanwan’s mother’s sister!

He couldn’t help but glance at Ye Wanwan in his arms as if seeking answers from her.

Though Murong Xingrui found it strange, he never doubted Ye Wanwan’s identity. He could see how much Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu cherished her. If she weren’t their biological daughter, how could they treat her like this?

Ye Wanwan kept her head low, unable to meet Murong Xingrui’s gaze. She was completely at a loss for words. Even if she could speak now, she wouldn’t know how to explain herself.

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu felt uneasy the moment Murong Xingrui spoke those words. But now that it was out, they couldn’t erase them from everyone’s minds.

Ye Hongxuan’s mind raced, but he couldn’t think of a plausible explanation.

“Curious, aren’t you?” Ye Leng’an suddenly wore a bright smile. “Do you know why Ye Wanwan has been trying to frame me all this time? Because she doesn’t want me to return to the Ye family. She fears that my return will affect her status. Do you understand now?”

After hearing this, Murong Xingrui’s expression changed drastically. He looked at Ye Wanwan in disbelief before turning to Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu. With difficulty, he asked, “Uncle, Aunt, what does this mean? Wanwan, she…”

He wasn’t naive, so he understood what Ye Leng’an meant. If Ye Leng’an was a member of the Ye family, then Ye Wanwan couldn’t be. Or rather, she couldn’t be a direct descendant of the Ye family.

Most importantly, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu hadn’t denied anything. This meant that what Ye Leng’an said was true.

Others in the room pieced together the puzzle.
