Chapter 1157: A Great Theater Play
“It is indeed inappropriate for an outsider like me to interfere with your family matters. Also, I don’t know you so why will I care about your family matters?” As compared to Ye Zhixiang’s impudence and arrogance, Princ.i.p.al Chen appeared more refined. “Since you recognized the wrong person, there’s no need to look for Ye Jian anymore.”
“Princ.i.p.al Chen, what you said just now made me ashamed. Indeed, I have not taken care of my granddaughter properly for the past few years. I didn’t expect her to get angry at her aunt and run away from home.”
The edge of Grandma Ye’s eyes was red from all the wiping. She stopped arguing that she didn’t take care of Ye Jian and started repenting instead. “…I’m getting old so I can’t supervise many things. I just want to take a look at my granddaughter. Princ.i.p.al Cao, I beg you, let me take a look at my granddaughter.”
“I miss her terribly. She hasn’t come home for so many years and every time I call her aunt, she would say that everything was fine at home and Jian was doing fine too. She asked me not to worry. I believed her, I believed everything. However, everything was a lie. My granddaughter ran away from home and the most infuriating thing is that Ye Jian moved her registered residence out. I can’t answer to my eldest son and my daughter-in-law who sacrificed.”
Grandma Ye stopped using her silk handkerchief to wipe her tears. She laid on the armrest of the wooden sofa and started crying. As she cried, she glanced at Ye Zhifan.
If they didn’t force Ye Jian to come now, they will have to kick up a huge fuss such that the entire school knew what was happening!
Ye Zhifan sighed and slowly opened his mouth. “Princ.i.p.al Chen, my mom had been living with my younger sister in the coastal region. After Ye Jian ran away from home, my wife was afraid that my mom would get angry so she kept it from her. She told my mom that Ye Jian was doing fine in the family.”
As he spoke, he gave a bitter smile. “I need to bear responsibility too. I thought that since my mom wouldn’t come back, I will keep it from her for as long as I can. Also, the school takes care of Ye Jian well. Since we are unable to educate her, the school could do it.”
Grandma Ye’s fists landed on Ye Zhifan’s shoulders directly, one at a time.
Her fists came quickly and furiously. Even Ye Zhifan didn’t manage to react in time and suffered a few punches on his shoulders. “You are her uncle. I handed her over to you so that you can take care of her. However, you forced her such that she doesn’t even want to acknowledge her biological grandmother. You are cutting a piece of meat off my heart. How will I answer to your elder brother and sister-in-law in the future?”
As compared to Sun Dongqing’s unreasonable fussing, Grandma Ye’s method was more brilliant. It was so real Princ.i.p.al Cao almost believed her!
Fortunately, before he opened his mouth, he glanced at Princ.i.p.al Chen who was beside him and managed to swallow his words in time. He sat on his office chair and waited quietly for the old lady to finish her act.
40 minutes had pa.s.sed since the language exam. The school campus was still very quiet. After she handed in her script, Ye Jian hurriedly walked out of the teaching building and headed towards the office building.
A moment ago, her music teacher told her that her grandmother had come to look for Mrs. Tong. She asked if Ye Jian wanted to take a look.
Her grandmother? What grandmother did she have? Someone who didn’t care about her ever since she was young and even told her son-in-law, “It’s unlucky to kick her to death in the house. Take her outside. It’s snowing heavily and the snow will cover her up. Everything will be settled then.”
Did she need this kind of grandmother?
Ye Jian went to the teachers’ office and realized that no one was there. After thinking for a second, she quickly walked towards Princ.i.p.al Cao’s office. Mrs. Tong needed to mark the exam scripts and Grandma Ye wouldn’t leave the school campus once she entered. The only place she could go to was the princ.i.p.al’s office.
