Chapter 777: Mystery Starting To Unravel
Ye Jian was shocked. Third Master Hou seemed to be saying that she’ll have his protection in the future?
Her astonishment made Hou Zi laugh even louder. He thought that she was a composed person but she could still be shocked. “Come to my hotel to stay when you have time. Brother Zi doesn’t have many things but I have a lot of rooms in my hotel.”
Towards people that he liked, Hou Zi spoke to them like old buddies. This was a man whom people couldn’t reject or defy. It was easy to feel his sincerity.
The situation became like this unconsciously and quickly. Ye Jian was a quick-witted person but she still wasn’t able to catch up with his tempo within a short time.
Ye Jian watched him as he left and closed the door. She was still in a daze.
The person that she looked so hard for in her past life came to her so easily this time. He even asked her to call him Brother Zi and said that she could find him for any help she needed in the future.
Ye Jian sat in the chair and sighed. This lifetime, many things had changed. When she didn’t want Third Master Hou’s protection, she got it so easily.
She didn’t need it but it was still something worth being happy about.
At least when she heard him telling her that she could find him for anything, she was really exhilarated. It felt as though she accomplished something big.
The mission that she didn’t manage to complete in her last lifetime was finally completed this time!
She fulfilled her wish in her past life. Wasn’t this a huge thing?
As she thought about it, Ye Jian’s mood became brighter. With Third Master Hou protecting her, Grandma Ye would have a headache. Ye Zhixiang would feel even more frustrated too.
She was happy when they were unhappy.
Ye Jian finally started eating her dinner. She didn’t mind that her food had turned cold. As she ate, her gaze suddenly turned dark. She thought of something.
In the past, her boss said that anyone in the underworld would know who Hou Zi was. Just now, Grandma Ye’s att.i.tude changed entirely when Hou Zi said his name. She even called him Third Master Hou with a fearful tone.
That’s right, Grandma did call him Third Master Hou. This was how people in the underworld address him respectfully!
That meant that… Grandma Ye was in the underworld too. That also meant that Ye Zhixiang’s family was related to the underworld.
If not, why didn’t they regularly return to the village? Even when they came back, they would only do it secretly.
Sun Yaozu’s right eye wasn’t blind in the past. The villagers said that he got injured at work. However, if that was the case, why did he have to return to the village secretly after his injury.
When she thought carefully about it, Ye Jian’s expression turned cold.
Grandma Ye left the village not long after her mother died. To be exact, it was three days before the military sent people to their village.
After that, Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye never returned to the village.
Grandma Ye only came back with Ye Zhixiang’s family again when she was in Primary Four. It was during the eve of New Year. When Ye Jian saw them at that time, Sun Yaozu’s eye was already blinded.
That was the day that she got beaten by Sun Yaozu too.
Grandma Ye just sat at the side coldly and watched her like a bystander. As for her Aunt, Ye Zhixiang, she scolded her furiously and said that her mother and she were the archenemies of the Ye family! Their unluckiness caused Ye Jian’s father to die and now, the entire Ye family was affected!
The chopsticks in her hand dropped without her noticing. Ye Jian’s face turned pale. There was also a thick malicious intent on it.
Her mother was a martyr. Not long after she sacrificed, Grandma Ye left the village.
After a few years, they came back and Sun Yaozu, who was blind in one eye, started beating her to death immediately when he came back. Ye Zhixiang even scolded her and said that she brought calamity to the Ye family… The things that she never thought about suddenly linked to one another. They formed an extremely clear line.
