Chapter 386: Chapter 387: Why doesn’t she like you?
After all, he harbored a secret.
He felt guilty.
“Okay!” Ye Xingbei nodded, looking at Ye Xinglan and slowly asked, “Brother Lan, I want to know if there is anything I or my parents did in the past that upset you and my second uncle, causing you to be so reluctant to acknowledge me.”
A buzzing sound echoed in Ye Xinglan’s ears, he turned pale and instinctively looked at Gu Junzhu, who was sitting next to Ye Xingbei.
He should have known that with Gu Junzhu present, this secret would sooner or later be exposed.
He should not have been so indecisive, hesitated so much, and put off acknowledging Ye Xingbei.
In any case, he should have taken the initiative to acknowledge Ye Xingbei before she did, to show his sincerity.
Now that Ye Xingbei had exposed this secret, he felt guilt and embarrassment as never before.
Ye Xingli, who had been bent down slightly all this time, suddenly raised his head to look at Ye Xingbei, looking utterly shocked, “Bei, Beibei… You, You know everything?”
Leng Peini stared at Ye Xingli’s shocked face, completely confused.
What was Ye Xingbei talking about?
What second uncle?
What grudge?
What refusal to acknowledge?
What was the relationship between Ye Xingbei, Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli?
Seeing her puzzled look, Ye Xingbei turned her gaze to her, “Leng Peini, bet you didn’t expect this, did you? Brother Li’s father is my father’s full brother, my very own uncle! Brother Lan and Brother Li are my first cousins! Other than my siblings, Brother Lan, Brother Li, and I share the closest blood ties. Regardless of whom Brother Li marries, he can never marry me! You’ve considered me as your imaginary love rival, plotted ways to kill me, you… all in vain!”
Leng Peini was stunned.
She understood every word Ye Xingbei said, yet when put together, she couldn’t comprehend their meaning.
What uncle?
What first cousin?
What closest blood ties?
What did Ye Xingbei mean?
Both Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli looked worse than her.
Ye Xingli looked at Leng Peini, then looked at Ye Xingbei, finding it hard to speak, “Beibei, what do you mean? Are you saying that Leng Peini replaced your lifesaving chocolate because she thought I loved you and wanted to marry you. That’s why she wanted to kill you?”
“No! I didn’t!” Leng Peini instinctively denied it: “I didn’t, Ah Li, I didn’t!”
She gripped Ye Xingli’s hand tightly out of fear, clutching it like a lifesaver, “Ah Li, believe me, I didn’t! I really didn’t! Ye Xingbei is trying to destroy the relationship between us, she’s slandering me!”
Ye Xingli forcefully pulled his hand away, “Beibei is slandering you? Why would Beibei slander you?”
Leng Peini was at a loss for words, stuttering: “Be, Because… She, she doesn’t like me…”
Ye Xingli’s eyes grew cold, “And why doesn’t she like you?”
If this had been before, Leng Peini would have said – because Ye Xingbei liked Ye Xingli, wanted to marry Ye Xingli. Hence, she disparaged her, framed her, trying to disrupt her relationship with Ye Xingli.
But now, from what Ye Xingbei implied, she and Ye Xingli were actually cousins.
If Ye Xingbei and Ye Xingli were cousins, how could she possibly scheme to marry Ye Xingli?
Since Ye Xingbei was Ye Xingli’s cousin, why was she completely unaware of it after dating Ye Xingli for such a long time?
Why did Ye Xinglan appear to dislike Ye Xingbei so much, treating her so harshly and strictly?
Could someone tell her what on earth was going on in the world?
How did her biggest love rival, the woman she thought was most likely to replace her and marry Ye Xingli, suddenly become Ye Xingli’s cousin?
