A phone call came from the province, and another came from Beijing’s Director Li. They all wished for Ye Jian to report to their school within the next two days. The candidate file had to be entered into the education system as soon as possible, any later and any submissions would be rejected.
Principal Chen’s reply was the same – let Ye Jian take a year off, we’ll discuss this next year.
Who was the happiest because of this whole saga? Of course, it was Ye Zhifan and his family.
Ye Zhifan was still at Provincial No.1 Middle School handling the admission process. While he was in the middle of buying some daily necessities for Ye Ying, Ye Zhifan got a phone call. Suppressing his joy, he shed crocodile tears. “This brat! All she had to do was to admit her mistake. Who knew that she turned out to be so rebellious that she disrespected her teacher and even tore her admission notice!”
“This has nothing to do with you. I will apologize to you when I get back. It’s really... Sigh, I didn’t expect her to be so brazen!”
He sighed and he apologized, as though his heart really ached.
The moment the call ended, Ye Zhifan was full of smiles. This little brat, how dare she challenge me? Heh, I’ll make you regret it!
Ye Ying could not believe it. “Dad, are you sure that she really tore her admission notice? Really? Is it real?”
“Of course, why would I lie to you?” Ye Zhifan placed her toothbrush and toothpaste on the table and assured his daughter. “Yingying, Ye Jian has never been your opponent, you don’t have to treat her like one. Did you see? I might not do much usually, but one move and I have crushed her future!”
“Remember this Yingying, do not act without planning, act after planning. That’s the best move! All your small fights and quarrels, all these would only put you at a disadvantage.”
His words were more profound than Sun Dongqing’s, and they convinced Ye Ying. She was overjoyed. “I know, I know, I will listen to you!”
Ye Jian, who are you to challenge me? Hahaha! Who are you?
I now study at the Provincial No.1 Middle School while you can only drop out of school! Hahaha, you told me to wait. Sure, I shall wait! Wait to laugh at you, and see how you live a miserable life!
Her laugh was not only sinister but savage too.
It was like she could see Ye Jian’s miserable life, with her as the Queen and Ye Jian, her slave.
“Study hard, Yingying. I can help you now but you will need to depend on yourself for the rest of the journey. You don’t need to fear Ye Jian anymore. She can’t even finish her senior high, no matter how capable she is, she will always be at the bottom.”
1Ye Zhifan was constantly reminding Ye Ying that she would need to depend on herself to live the life she wanted. “Stop thinking about Ye Jian all the time. You need to focus on becoming someone that she can never reach!”
1The idea that Ye Jian would never be better than her eased her mind. She clung onto Ye Zhifan’s arm and acted coyly. “Dad, I know! Rest assured, I used to throw tantrums because of Ye Jian. But not anymore. She will never be better than me, not before and never will! I will bring glory to you! I will.”
Sun Dongqing, who was drying clothes outside, was not aware of it. Ye Zhifan only informed her about it after they were back in Fujun Town.
Now that she knew, it was not long before the villagers in Shuikou Village knew too. Everyone felt sorry for Ye Jian. She had a bright future, but she ruined it all in her own hands.
