In the past, Sun Yaozu looked down on Ye Zhifan. Now, after he became wealthy, he looked down on him even more. But, the Ye Zhifan currently was entirely different from the past. He was a director!
From the deputy town mayor to the director of his department, Ye Zhifan only used less than three years! This speed of rising was the reason why his mother-in-law wanted to come back.
Fast, it was too fast! Based on this speed, he would be able to become the city mayor or the governor of the province within the next five to ten years!
His business was getting bigger, but he didn’t have strong background support. He needed to use money to take care of many things. Also, his identity mustn’t be exposed. He was very wealthy, but his mother-in-law was the one who appeared in public!
Even the CEO of the company was his mother-in-law. All the bank accounts were under his mother-in-law’s, his father-in-law’s, and his wife’s name.
It couldn’t be helped. His identity as a fugitive meant that he couldn’t be the boss. He couldn’t interact with government officials too, especially the judicial department.
Thinking about this, Sun Yaozu, who wanted to shout back, suddenly changed his expression. He held his stomach and started laughing. “Look at what you’re saying. Since mom has given her words, I’ll listen to her. After all, Brother-in-law is looking after that little girl. Why will I be worried?”
“This time, we didn’t come back for that little girl. Mom says that you are climbing higher and higher in your official career. This is good news for the Ye family. Hence, we must come back to congratulate you.”
As he spoke, he winked at Ye Zhixiang, who was still wearing a darkened expression.”Zhixiang, take out the present we brought for Brother-in-law. The rain is very heavy, so there’s no need for Brother to go back. You can stay at the hotel. Dad is playing mahjong in the room beside us. We can accompany Dad to play tonight.”
Grandma Ye smiled in satisfaction. “That’s right. A family should be harmonious. Siblings should help each other. Today, you can help me and tomorrow, I’ll help you. That is how the family will get better and better.”
“That’s right. Mom lives with us, but she always talks about Brother and Sister-in-law. She also missed Yingying very much, always wondering how tall she had grown. My head hurts from all her nagging. It’s as if she was reciting scriptures.” Ye Zhixiang noticed that even her mother’s attitude had changed, so she started smiling after taking the present out. No signs of the previous arguments could be seen.
Sun Dongqing felt exalted seeing the change in their attitude. She smiled ambiguously and said, “Sister-in-law is really more mature now. In the past, you didn’t know any manners. You just hoped to extort some things from my family before you left. I still remember that you screamed and shouted when your brother bought a gold ring for me in the past. In the end, you took it away.”
Sun Dongqing brought out the old matters partly because she felt frustrated. The other reason was that it was exhilarating when none of them talked back to her.
“Zhixiang, book a room for your brother and sister-in-law. Bring Yingying down together. The little girl is uncomfortable staying with us.” Grandma Ye never looked at her daughter-in-law directly. She looked down on her in the past and now, it was even more so.
The only mistake she made in her entire life was letting Sun Xueqing enter the Ye family. She thought that Sun Xueqing would be as stupid as her sister. Sun Xueqing rarely went back home and her reputation in the village wasn’t good too. Thus, she thought that Sun Xueqing was stupid.
Yet, unexpectedly, she allowed a soldier to enter her family and almost ruined the future of her only daughter!
