"That's right! Leng'an, lately I've been reminiscing about the past," Lin Wanqin quickly chimed in. "Back then, we truly poured all our efforts into you because you were our biological daughter. We…"
Ye Leng'an raised her hand, halting Lin Wanqin's words. "There's no need to play on emotions here. We all know the state of our relationship. It's unnecessary and frankly tiresome."

Straightening his expression, Ye Li got to the point. "Leng'an, we came here today with a request for your help."
"I refuse," Ye Leng'an interjected without hesitation. "I don't agree."
This immediate rejection caught Ye Li off guard. "You haven't even heard our request yet. Why reject it so hastily?"
