Chapter 1173: Leaving In A Fl.u.s.ter
Ye Jian replied to her threat with a small smile. “Sure, I want to settle some scores with you too.”
It would be hard to find out what frightened the mother and daughter from Grandma Ye. However, she could try it on Ye Zhixiang.
At first, Ye Zhixiang wanted to regain some of her image before she left but instead, she got scared by Ye Jian’s words and stepped into the air. She twisted her right ankle painfully.
She looked more fl.u.s.tered when she left.
“Jian, they might be back again.” Princ.i.p.al Chen had walked to Ye Jian’s side. He whispered, “You let them off today. It might affect your exam.”
Ye Jian didn’t turn her head back. Her pupils were constricted and her voice was filled with a hint of suppressed sorrow. She said in a soft voice, “No, Uncle Chen, they won’t be back temporarily.”
Just now, she probed Grandma Ye twice consecutively. In her fit of anger, Grandma Ye didn’t notice anything.
After she went back and thought about it carefully, based on her intelligence and experience, she wouldn’t act rashly. She would lay low until she figured out what happened.
If she really comes over, it would mean that she knew that Ye Jian didn’t know anything.
However, she wouldn’t let the old lady know that she was just probing and didn’t know anything.
Princ.i.p.al Chen looked at her composed expression. She seemed to have thought of a solution already. He smiled and replied, “That’s good. As long as you know what to do. You’re always cautious so there’s nothing much we can worry about you. I believe that you can settle Grandma Ye’s business properly.”
The little girl in the past had grown up. She didn’t need other people’s help in some matters anymore. She could face them alone.
Jian had grown up. It was time for him and Uncle Gen to let go. They shouldn’t hold her hand and tell her what to do and wait for her to do it.
A child’s growth required setbacks. That was how she would truly grow up.
Princ.i.p.al Chen decided to let go. He would stand at the side and watch her grow up step by step.
“This happened due to my negligence. I didn’t think that an amiable and refined old lady…” Mrs. Tong’s apologetic voice could be heard. It was very soft so only the people in the office could hear it.
No one lost their cool because of what happened. They maintained their composure and discussed what happened just now.
There were still ten minutes before the exam ended. Ye Jian didn’t leave. She sat there and listened quietly. There were people concerned about her and worried about her. Whether she had a grandmother or not didn’t matter.
After Grandma Ye left the school compound, she couldn’t disguise her anger anymore. Her expression was so savage her features became distorted.
“Mom, why did you leave so quickly? We haven’t finished what we’re supposed to do!”
Ye Zhixiang didn’t see the hideous expression on Grandma Ye’s face because she chased after them. She ran over while limping and complained, “That wicked girl is so disrespectful towards you. Why didn’t you slap her just now and kill some of her arrogance? This is infuriating. My wrist is red because she grabbed me so tightly! Look, it’s entirely red.”
At this moment, Grandma Ye didn’t have the heart to worry if her daughter’s wrist was red. Her daughter was only complaining and wasn’t concerned about her at all. Grandma Ye turned her head and looked at her daughter coldly. “You are normally very fierce. Why did you stand at the side like a dumb person just now?”
Her voice was full of anger. It was obvious that she was in a bad mood.
Ye Zhifan looked at Grandma Ye’s dark face casually and said indifferently, “Mom, you underestimated Ye Jian.”
