Ye Ying pouted unhappily when she heard this. "Dad, why can't I listen? I'm not young anymore. I'm not a child. Also, I want to know why Grandma doesn't like Ye Jian. She didn't like me in the past too."
"She likes you now because your dad is a high-ranking official. Your grandma, sigh, you won't be able to imagine the number of sufferings your mom has gone through because of your grandma." Sun Dongqing was unwilling to let her daughter know about these vexing matters too. However, she didn't want her daughter to get close to that cruel old woman either.
She added, "You can respect her when she's around but don't get fooled by her words!"
Ye Zhifan didn't reprimand his wife when she said this. Instead, he nodded and said in a low voice, "Listen to what your mom says and remember it in your heart. Go back to your room and rest. We'll go to school early tomorrow to settle your transfer application. You still need to report to Provincial No. 2 Middle School after that."
Ye Ying couldn't go to Provincial No.1 Middle School but she was still able to study in Provincial No. 2 Middle School. With Ye Zhifan's network, it wasn't difficult for him to find a school for his daughter.
Ye Ying left unhappily. After she returned to her room and opened her present, her mood became good again.
"Don't mention past events in front of Yingying in the future. If my mom finds out, you know her methods. We will suffer greatly." After Ye Ying went back to her room, Ye Zhifan lit a cigarette and went into deep thought among the smoke.
Sun Dongqing didn't interrupt him. She just made tea for herself and placed the teacup on the coffee table. Her expression was similar to her husband's, dark and gloomy.
"She didn't come back because of Ye Jian. She came back because of me. I agreed to adopt Ye Jian and raised Ye Jian according to her plan because she agreed to give me the jade and give my younger sister the money."
After some time, Ye Zhifan finally mentioned the deal he made in the past. It was a deal that even Sun Dongqing didn't know of.
Sun Dongqing's expression was already dark. When she heard about this affair and knew that her husband had kept it from her for more than 10 years, she jumped up from the sofa and threw a pillow at her husband in a fit of anger. "Ye Zhifan, you're amazing. You teamed up with the old witch to fool me!"
"Stop acting crazy! Sit down!" Ye Zhifan threw the pillow on the floor and shouted in a low voice. "You're so angry now. If I told you in the past, the entire village will know about this!"
"My mom probably came back because she wants me to do something. This thing probably has to do with my younger sister. She knows that the jade is with me so she can use it to threaten me."
Sun Dongqing was so angry her chest heaved up and down. She gritted her teeth and said, "Stupid old witch. The moment she came back, our family can forget about having a good life." After complaining, she asked, "Do you know what she wants you to do?"
"Yes. Get rid of Sun Yaozu's criminal identity."
Sun Dongqing's scream immediately sounded from the room. "Old witch! Is she crazy? If she really dared to do this, I'll stab her to death! I won't forgive her if she tries to ruin your future!"
"Lower your voice! Do you really think that the sound insulation of the hotel is very good?" Ye Zhifan glared at her. Their voices instantly became softer.
The rain didn't stop. A rainstorm alert was announced through the television. Zhang Bin called Ye Jian five minutes later. "The storm is really heavy. There's probably a hitch in the telephone wires. I made many calls but they all failed."
"Why do you want to look for my dad? It feels like you have something to ask." Zhang Bin was staying at his grandma's place. Thus, it was easy for him to call his father. He continued, "Is it urgent? I'll try again later."
