Chapter 759: Mysterious Past
Maybe it was because she suddenly thought of an unspeakable and immeasurable size, so Ye Jian stared blankly in front of the mirror as though she was struck by lightning.
Then, she slapped her forehead with her hand which was full of soap bubbles. Calm down, calm down, don’t imagine, don’t think too much either!
Her gaze landed on the mirror. She saw her red face in the mirror. Her eyes were sparkling. Her entire body seemed so soft and delicate it felt as if water could be squeezed out of her skin. She was surprised by how enchanting she was. This was a side that she felt unfamiliar with. Ye Jian widened her eyes for a few seconds before splas.h.i.+ng water on her face.
The person in the mirror wasn’t her. She couldn’t even recognize herself!
How could she have such an expression? Where did her indifference go to? Where did the sharpness in her eyes go to?
She washed her face until the hair near her forehead was wet. After feeling the warmth on her face subsiding, she looked up at the mirror again. After a long time, Ye Jian nodded her head in satisfaction.
She didn’t dare to think about it anymore. She quickly washed the clothes she needed to wear tomorrow and hung up her clothes for a while before blowing them dry with the hairdryer.
On the eighth floor of the hotel room, in room 808, Ye Zhixiang spoke to the elder that was lying on the bed. This old lady was Ye Jian’s grandma. “Mother, I saw a familiar young lady just now. She’s the one who scared you until your heart hurt. Thinking about it, why do I feel that the young lady looks like Sun Xueqing?”
“Do you think that young lady is that b.a.s.t.a.r.d from Brother’s family?”
In the Ye family, the person who always made decisions was Grandma Ye. This old lady was very powerful when she was young. She looked amiable, but she wasn’t a simple person. She secretly took over her Brother-in-law’s a.s.sets and even landed a good name for herself in her village.
Grandpa Ye was a vicious character too. He was never softhearted when he s.n.a.t.c.hed his brother’s a.s.sets. He didn’t even pretend to be polite in front of his brother.
The two elders stayed in one room. However, the old man was currently playing mahjong with his son-in-law and the subordinates of his son-in-law in the other room.
After hearing this, Grandma Ye opened her closed eyes. She was more than 60 years old, but because of her portly presence, she seemed to be only 50 years old.
“Your brother hasn’t sent any news. We can ask him once he comes over. There are many people who look similar to each other in this world. There’s no need to be surprised by such a small little thing. They just look similar. Don’t frustrate yourself.”
The old lady spoke with a gentle and harmonious tone. She was smiling too.
However, from Ye Zhixiang’s fearful expression, you could tell that the old lady wasn’t as kind as she seemed. She had a portly presence, but the viciousness in her eyes wasn’t something that should exist in an old lady.
“Mother, you have many experiences so you’re able to remain calm. However, I can’t do it. When I see that little girl’s face, I feel hatred,” Ye Zhixiang gritted her teeth as she said. She even broke the fingernail on her pinky finger. “Yaozu’s right eye…”
The smile on Grandma Ye’s face disappeared. She scolded in a low voice, “This happened more than ten years ago. Are you afraid that other people won’t know about it so you want to give other people a reason to blackmail us?”
“What’s wrong with his right eye? It was just a work accident. The company compensated you, and you are able to lead a good life because of the compensation! Remember that!”
This scolding forced the anger on Ye Zhixiang’s face to subside. She had no choice but to suppress it. There was nothing else she could do.
