Chapter 208: Overreached
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The women of the village still kept in touch with Sun Dongqing from time to time; after all, she is the wife of an official. Whenever the villagers needed to ask for a favor and could not meet with Ye Zhifan in person, they would resort to asking her.
Sun Dongqing loved two things: taking advantages and listening to flatteries.
“Ye Zhifan always said that even though our Yingying is not a boy, she is not half bad.”
“She will definitely enter the Province Experimental High School next year. And eventually, get into schools like the Central China Normal University and Guangxi University!” She became so proud that her saliva splattered all over the place. Although she looked elegant on the outside, her disposition was no match to Ye Zhifan.
The women of the village listened and exclaimed, “Of course, everyone knows the Ye family is full of talented people, especially from your family. Yingying was born with such good looks and she is doing so well in school. When she becomes a college student in the future, she will be the golden phoenix that flew out of our village.”
Even Ye Ying loved hearing these flatteries.
She puckered in a smile, “Aunt Tao, I know little Xiaodong also goes to the Towns.h.i.+p Middle School. If he needs anything, he can always come to me. If he doesn’t know where my cla.s.sroom is, he can ask anyone around and he will be shown the way.”
Earlier, Aunt Tao had mentioned her worries of her son, who also goes to the Towns.h.i.+p Middle School; therefore, Ye Ying immediately picked up her intentions.
Since that wicked girl Ye Jian made her school life more and more difficult, she needed to think of a way to win over the hearts of the villagers in order to make it difficult for Ye Jian to return to the village.
Gossip has the power to destroy anyone. After the teacher-seducing incident had failed, she needed to gradually scheme new plans. A gloomy look crossed under Ye Ying’s sweet smile… she doesn’t believe that she couldn’t defeat an orphan!
Even if it would take one, two, or three years! She would always have an opportunity as long as that wicked girl ever plans to return to the village!
Aunt Tao’s heart felt relieved as she heard Ye Ying’s words. “That would be great! Dongqing, what a sensible daughter you have!” From Ye Ying’s response, it was no wonder that the villagers thought of Ye Ying as the sharpest one in the Ye family.
Listening on the side, Ye Zhifan would have walked over and taught his ignorant wife and daughter a lesson if it wasn’t for his status.
Clenching on the motorcycle handle, he got ready to leave until someone honked from behind. A black sedan pulled up to the side and someone greeted him with a smile. “Deputy Town Mayor Ye.”
The person sitting in the back seat laughed as he walked over. “It’s been a long time, Deputy Town Mayor Ye.”
“Secretary Wu? Oh, are you on your way to the school?” Ye Zhifan immediately put away his sullen face and chortled with delight as he shook Secretary Wu’s hand. He asked gently, “It’s such a hot day, are you out for an urgent matter?”
Secretary Wu was the head of the City Education Bureau.
Aunt Tao also heard the men speaking and looked over. “Old Ye sure is a busy man. The other man looks like an official. Oh, Dongqing, you are such a lucky woman.”
Of course, I am! Sun Dongqing thought to herself and smiled with pride. “I’d better go over there. Be on your way. Come over for lunch if you are not going back to the village soon.” Wrapping up her chatter, she headed over with Ye Ying.
