Chapter 1167: One Scheme After Another
There was a problem here! There must be!
Ye Jian pursed her lips slightly as she fixed her cold gaze on Ye Zhixiang. She stared at her until Ye Zhixiang bit her lower lips and tried her best to straighten her posture. She turned her head until her neck was about to sprain.
Grandma Ye raised her hand and pressed her daughter’s shoulder heavily when she saw how easily frightened Ye Zhixiang was. If she knew that this was going to happen, she wouldn’t have brought her!
It looked like this wicked girl didn’t know anything. They shouldn’t scare themselves. She might notice something amiss.
“Zhixiang, don’t be so easily frightened. You are an aunt. Jian is already not close to us. If you continue screaming, she won’t be able to get close with us in the future.” She hinted to Ye Zhixiang that she should calm down and stop screaming.
“They are your brother and sister-in-law. We are a family. What’s there to be afraid of? Didn’t you plan to go to the martyr memorial park to visit them tomorrow? Pay your respects to them properly to show how much you miss them.”
Ye Zhixiang wasn’t willing to do it but Grandma Ye was grabbing her shoulders tightly. She knew that she mustn’t resist Grandma Ye again. In front of Grandma Ye’s pressure, she had no choice but to lower her head.
She bent her back and lowered her head. She bowed at the black and white photos. Even so, she didn’t look at the photos directly.
Ye Jian didn’t release her grip when she saw this. Instead, her grip became tighter.
Grandma Ye gritted her teeth and sighed. “You are too extreme. If your parents are still alive, they will feel sad. Your father was a hardworking person and your mother served the country and the people. Child, you need to learn from them.”
You should learn how they bow down to me and how humble they were!
Grandma Ye wouldn’t say her thoughts out loud. She just muttered furiously in her heart. After the tears disappeared, a calculative look could be seen in her murky pupils. This wicked girl was harder to deal with than she expected. She needed to remain calm!
She kicked up a fuss for so long but she didn’t show any signs of anxiousness or agitation. From the moment she came in, it felt as though she had been waiting for them to look for her.
Fortunately… she only knew one thing. Just now, Grandma Ye was frightened because she thought that Ye Jian knew other things!
She glanced coldly at Ye Zhixiang and saw that she wasn’t nervous anymore. Grandma Ye finally felt at ease.
Now, Ye Jian knew that her father wasn’t her biological son and the teachers were all helping her. That meant that she couldn’t use the teachers anymore. She needed to think of another method.
Grandma Ye glanced at Ye Zhifan secretly with a dark gaze. She saw him sizing up the silent Mrs. Tong. Then, he shook his head lightly.
His intention was obvious. They couldn’t use the teachers. They wouldn’t help them to convince Ye Jian.
Looking at Ye Jian’s firm actions, a smile suddenly flashed past Grandma Ye’s eyes.
‘The stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind’. This wicked girl had such a strong personality so why don’t she just let her break by herself? There was no need to dirty her hands.
Grandma Ye thought of another plan. She raised her hands that were well-maintained but were already starting to look withered and placed them on Ye Jian’s wrist. She whispered, “Grandpa Gen told you everything, right? So what? Your father was my son for so many years. How could he throw this identity away just because you say that he isn’t?”
At first, she was still putting on an act but now, she suddenly revealed her fangs… Ye Jian, who was holding the photos of her deceased parents, squinted slightly. There was no need to guess. The vicious lady in front of her was playing another scheme.
No matter what she wanted to do, Ye Jian told herself that she must let Grandma Ye return crestfallen. She came here all high and mighty but she will leave dejectedly!
