Chapter 1224: No Way Out
Grandma Ye was a difficult person to deal with. She was frightened by Hou Zi and entered the hospital so she didn’t know what happened outside. She was worried that her daughter was in danger and told her repeatedly not to find trouble with Ye Jian!
There was no need to mention his son-in-law, Sun Yaozu. Hou Zi had already made a harsh statement and knew that it was his mother-in-law and his wife who did it. He knew in his heart that he definitely couldn’t casually interfere in this matter.
The gossip between women should be treated as gossip between women. If he interfered, Hou Zi wouldn’t just let him off. He would probably send someone to bring a gun to his head.
Fortunately, Grandma Ye knew her daughter’s family very well. After Ye Zhixiang got frightened by the snakes, she immediately called Sun Yaozu and told him not to interfere. She didn’t want Hou Zi to keep an eye on her.
Grandma Ye helped her daughter and son-in-law’s family from the bottom of her heart. This was also the main reason why Sun Yaozu gave Grandma Ye respect.
But Grandma Ye didn’t have any good intentions towards her adopted son.
Whenever she thought about how she was forced into a corner by Ye Jian and could only stay in the hospital, the anger in Grandma Ye’s heart would deepen.
If she did not vent out the unhappiness in her heart, she might really have to stay in the hospital for a long time!
“How can you be quiet at this time? You must settle Yingying’s matter properly! We can’t let an unknown bastard child climb onto Yingying’s head!”
Grandma Ye’s face was gloomy. Her aged face was filled with a sinister and cold air. In addition, she had been frightened quite badly for the past few weeks. Her face had lost quite a bit of roundness. She no longer had the benevolent and kind look from before. One look and one could tell that she was a mean old lady.
“Yingying was angered by her until she was hospitalized. As her father, you still didn’t stand up for her. You let her down! Why did Yingying get banned from the university entrance examination when she can have a peaceful examination?”
“So what if the governor stepped out? Can he manage your family matters?”
Even Ye Zhifan couldn’t take care of the bastard child of unknown origin… Grandma Ye only thought about it for a while and cold sweat kept appearing on her back.
She was still a student who had yet to achieve anything. If she did not take the opportunity to teach her a lesson now, what would happen in the future?!
Ye Zhifan kept his eyes closed. His expression was dark. He was so calm that even Grandma Ye couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Grandma Ye gave him another strong dose of medicine. She suppressed her throat and said hatefully, “Don’t tell me you still want to give away the good stuff that you got! Once that wretched girl becomes successful, our whole family can forget about living well!”
“Also, I don’t believe that she’s really that capable! She rejected the National Science University and National Arts University. In my opinion, it’s not that she rejected them, but that she knows her limits and knows that she won’t be able to pass the exam!”
The jade pendant… The jade pendant. He made his daughter take the risk because of the jade pendant. In the end, she ended up like this.
No matter how anxious he was, if he wanted to see Ye Jian in dire straits, he had to endure it. For his career… he had to endure it.
As for why Grandma Ye persuaded him to act, Ye Zhifan had a cold look on his face. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Old Madam Ye who was filled with gloom. “As long as the green mountains are around, there won’t be a shortage of firewood. Mom, I think you should know why I have to bear with it.”
“I’ve been an official for more than ten years. Your little tricks won’t be of much use to me. Don’t worry. Also, Yingying’s mother will be here soon. If she sees you here, she will create more trouble.”
He wanted Grandma Ye to leave quickly.
