Grandma Ye knew that she was at a disadvantage so she didn't open her mouth again. She watched Ye Zhifan as he left the room. Then, she slowly sat on the sofa. After a long time, an icy smile appeared at the corner of her lips. "Very good. He does have some abilities.
I still need to ask him to settle Yaozu's business."
The confrontation between the mother and son landed entirely in the ears of Hou Zi's men. The person who was eavesdropping on them recorded their whole conversation on tape. The tape was passed to Hou Zi that same night.
Hou Zi was interested in the secrets of this family. However, with this tape, he would have an excuse to call Xia Yiwei.
Many things happened outside but none of them made any impact on Ye Jian, who was in school. Four days later, the gauze on her arm can finally be removed. By next Friday, the abrasion caused by the bullet healed completely. Only a scar with the same length as the diameter of a 5.5mm bullet remained.
Ye Jian looked at this wound that she was able to see if she just raised her arm. She recalled the fine and dense scars on Xia Jinyuan's shoulder, arms, and chest. That's good. This time, she would have another 'scar of honor' on her body.
The first scar she had was the one on her back. That one was slightly bigger. Once, when she was bathing, she scared An Jiaxin with that scar. This was gotten through her fight with the mercenaries at the depopulated zone.
It has been two weeks since the military training ended. The students from the Second and Third Year started to forget about the military training. They only mentioned it occasionally.
When it was the 20th of October, the weather had turned colder. People could wear two layers of clothes now. Ye Jian's clothes were very simple. Besides school uniforms… She had school uniforms.
She didn't have the money to buy extra clothes. She had two school uniforms she could wear in school and two sets of camouflage uniforms to wear during training. It was just nice!
On Friday, the moment lessons ended, Yang Heng carried his school bag on one shoulder and tucked his hands in his pockets. The handsome and clean young man stood there like the rays of sunlight. Even though he was staring into the air blankly, he still attracted the attention of many young ladies.
Yao Jing was walking along with Wang Dandan and Yue Mei. They were chatting with each other happily when they saw Yang Heng who was standing at the school gates. Among all the students, the most outstanding person was the tall and lean Yang Heng. You would be able to see him at one glance.
"Is he waiting for me? You can go home first. I see Yang Heng." Yao Jing, who was walking in the middle, let go of her friends' hands and skipped one step forward. She pointed to the figure at the school gate and smiled. "Yang Heng is waiting for me in front. I'll go and look for him first."
After Ye Ying left, Yao Jing stopped hiding her true feelings. She skipped happily towards Yang Heng amidst her friends' laughter.
Yang Heng, who was standing at the school gate a moment ago, had disappeared. That meant that he wasn't waiting for Yao Jing. It was just her one-sided thinking.
Yang Heng was waiting for Ye Jian. Everyone in his class had gotten into the bus. Only Ye Jian, who ended her lesson later, wasn't here.
"I was still worried that you can't make it because you had something on. Now, I can finally relax." After fetching the person, Yang Heng's footsteps got lighter. He laughed brightly. "My friends who play darts are even more nervous than me. They are even more afraid that you can't make it last minute."
All his juniors from Year Two Class One told him that Ye Jian was a very busy person. Sometimes, they couldn't find her when they wanted to.
Ye Jian lifted the ends of her lips slightly. She had a gentle smile on her beautiful face. It was like a flower blooming silently. "No way. I will not change my mind once I make a promise unless I really have something important."
"Let's have a fun time tonight. My birthday party will be at my aunt's hotel. You can sleep at the hotel if you want. I've arranged a room for you."
