Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After a while, Li Qiaomeng’s forehead had already turned red, and blood vessels could even be faintly seen seeping out. Anyone who saw her sorry state would feel pity, especially since Li Qiaomeng was quite attractive, eliciting even more sympathy from those around her.
“Ye Lengan, no matter what she and her mother did, there is no need to relentlessly pursue them!” said a classmate watching nearby, looking at the kowtowing Li Qiaomeng with some heartache. “Look how sincerely she is
admitting her mistake. Please let her off this time!”
“That’s right! One should forgive when possible!” Seeing someone had spoken up first, another student chimed in, “She’s already so pitiful. There really is no need to keep investigating her! ”
“Ye Lengan, no matter what, one should still be magnanimous. Look how far you’ve pushed her – if this continues and an irreparable tragedy truly occurs, will you be able to live with yourself?”
The surrounding students had turned into righteous crusaders, standing up for the kneeling Li Qiaomeng, feeling that regardless of whatever egregious thing had happened, now that she was begging for mercy, there was no justification for clinging onto the issue.
Not far away, Ye Xiyuan had been hiding in the shadows observing the situation. Seeing everyone criticizing Ye Lengan, she couldn’t help raising a smug grin.
No matter today’s outcome, Ye Leng’an would gain no advantage. As expected, rescuing Li Qiaomeng was an excellent weapon against Ye Lengan.
However, regrettably, such a ploy could only be used once. Whether ultimately successful or not, Li Qiaomeng would never expose her, unless she no longer wanted that 1.5 million.
Spending 1.5 million still pained her. After returning to the Ye family, in order to keep up her guise as a kind and sensible person, she hadn’t requested anything from her biological parents. This 1.5 million was her accumulated savings.
However, she felt spending 1.5 million to ruin Ye Leng’an’s reputation was worthwhile.
By now, Li Qiaomeng’s forehead had a bloody wound. Although her expression was pleading, she was burning with impatience inside.
She had assumed public pressure would compel Ye Lengan to at least let her stand first no matter what. Yet despite so many people speaking for her, Ye Leng’an remained unmoved with no hint of accommodating her. Li Qiaomeng also wanted to stop kowtowing but worried onlookers would accuse her of acting, undoing all her efforts thus far.
“You’d better stand up first!” One boy ultimately couldn’t bear watching, directly stepping over to pull up the still-kowtowing Li Qiaomeng, saying: “You see she has a heart of stone – even kowtowing yourself to death here wouldn’t elicit her pity. You needn’t debase yourself like this.”
As Li Qiaomeng already intended to halt her kowtowing, under the boy’s tugging she reluctantly stood halfway up.

Yet after rising, she persisted in begging Ye Lengan, “Miss Ye, I implore you, spare my mother! She still remains in custody, and at her age absolutely cannot withstand such torment. Furthermore, my father and brother back home have no idea of matters here. My brother will soon take his university exams – this news would greatly impact him. Please be merciful and pardon
us this once!”
In stark contrast to Li Qiaomengs woeful pleading, Ye Lengan remained extraordinarily composed, even cold. “What bearing does your family’s affairs have upon me? You yourselves committed wrongs, so should naturally accept punishment. I absolutely do not yield to moral coercion.”
Hearing Ye Leng’an’s response, Li Qiaomengs tears flowed unceasingly.
The wound on her forehead still oozed blood, and her countenance was deathly pale as she sobbed without pause..
