The car left the hotel and drove into the rain. The attendant in the lobby of the hotel ran over in small steps while holding a pair of cotton slippers. This was the pair of slippers Xia Jinyuan ordered the doorman to bring for Ye Jian.
Someone was coming towards her furiously from her back. The moment Ye Jian finished wearing her slippers and thanked the attendant, she felt something amiss behind her. She instantly turned around and took the chance to pull the attendant behind her.
She felt that the person was looking for her, but the attendant was here too. Hence, she couldn’t confirm her thinking immediately. Yet, she instinctively pulled the attendant behind her to protect her.
“Where are your parents? Ask them to come out!” The lady who walked over was wearing an expensive-looking dark purple long dress and a cashmere shawl placed around her shoulders. She was in high heels and her aura was just like her voice, haughty.
A flash of surprise appeared on Ye Jian’s indifferent face. No wonder she found the voice a little familiar just now. She knew this person.
This was her Little Aunt, Ye Zhixiang. In her past life, she always drove an international-brand car whenever she went back to the village to visit her relatives. It was rumored that she opened many big companies.
The last time she met Ye Zhixiang was when she just turned 18 years old. She ran back to Ye Zhifan’s family because she wanted to take her registered residence booklet to create her identification card. Coincidentally, she saw Ye Zhixiang and her husband, who’s right eye was blind for some reason, coming back, so she ran out with all her might.
There was only one thought in her mind. If she ran a little slower, she would be beaten to death by her uncle-in-law.
She was really frightened at that time. She forever remembered how vicious her uncle-in-law treated her. When she was still in Primary Four, her Uncle-in-law, Sun Yaozu, beat her until she turned unconscious and threw her out in the ground covered with snow on the eve of New Year.
Hence, when she saw her uncle-in-law at that time, she instantly remembered what happened in Primary Four. She didn’t dare to ask about her registered residence booklet anymore and just ran away frantically.
Now, it had been 11 years since she last met Ye Zhixiang, including her past life. But, when she saw her again, Ye Jian was still able to recognize her immediately.
As compared to the time when she saw Ye Zhixiang in her past life, Ye Zhixiang looked much younger. Ye Jian could tell that her Aunt was someone who took care of herself.
Ye Jian looked at her calmly and smiled lightly. “I’m the guest of the hotel. I don’t need my parents to take responsibility for what I did in the hotel. Also, who are you? I don’t think that you have the right to see my parents.”
The attendant stepped forward quickly too and smiled as she asked, “Hello. If you need any help, you can contact any of the service staff of the hotel.”
Ye Jian smiled at the attendant who spoke and walked straight in the direction of the elevator.
So what if Ye Zhixiang was blood-related to her? She, Ye Jian, didn’t owe her anything. Hence, it didn’t matter if she revealed her identity or not.
Grandpa Gen once told her, “You live your life and they can live theirs. We will mind our own business.”
She could tell that Grandpa Gen didn’t want her to have any interaction with Ye Zhixiang’s family. She didn’t know why Grandpa Gen had this intention but she didn’t want to know either.
On the other hand, Ye Zhixiang was a little surprised when she saw Ye Jian. Why did this little girl seem so familiar? Especially the way she talked and acted just now. It was really familiar.
She felt that she had seen her somewhere before, but she couldn’t recall anything.
She was only stunned for her moment, but the rude little girl had already walked past her and left arrogantly.
“Stop right there!” Ye Zhixiang glared at the attendant when she saw this and chased after Ye Jian with her high heels. “Where did you come from? You have no manners at all. You scared my elder. Her heart is hurting, but you aren’t even apologizing!”
