Before she was three years old, from the moment she had memory, this old woman never allowed her to live a good life. She scolded her every day and beat her every day too. There was no evidence that she beat Ye Jian because she always smacked Ye Jian’s head. When she fed Ye Jian water, she poured it into her mouth furiously. She continued pouring even when Ye Jian choked.
However, when Ye Jian’s father arrived, she would change entirely. She hugged and kissed her and called Ye Jian her dearest. She even complained that she was a picky eater and would ask Ye Jian’s father if she should find some rice paste the next day to feed Ye Jian.
Now, looking at the smiling face again, Ye Jian gave a small smile. She said calmly, “Grandma hasn’t seen me in around six years, right? I feel uncomfortable when you keep calling me your oldest granddaughter the moment you come over.”
“Do you have anything to ask me? If not, I need to eat.” Ye Jian continued in a composed manner. She didn’t appear too intimate or close. She just interacted with her grandma in a relaxed and calm manner.
Grandma Ye’s gaze flickered a little when she saw this. This young lady had really changed. She didn’t change just a little. It was a huge change.
She still remembered the last time she saw her. It was during the first semester when she was in Primary Four. Her daughter needed money urgently, so she needed to go back to the village to borrow money from Ye Zhifan. Thus, she sneaked back into the village on the eve of New Year.
At that time, Ye Jian was a pitiful little creature. She was skinny, short, and so cowardly that she didn’t dare to speak. She even told Ye Zhifan, “Not bad. This is how a lady should be like.”
Who would know that six years later, when she came back, this little girl had become just like her mother!
Stupid Sun Dongqing. She couldn’t even raise a child properly. She was really helpless! Also, that Ye Ying looked bright, but she was as stupid as her mother!
“It seems like you’re still blaming your grandma. Good girl, Grandma knows that you’ve suffered. At first, I thought that giving you to your mother’s eldest sister was good for you, but I didn’t expect you to be so uncomfortable.”
The old is still wiser than the young. Ye Zhixiang’s facial expression changed tremendously, but the smile on Grandma Ye’s face didn’t subside even a little. She just gave a helpless smile and continued, “How about this? If you are really not willing to live with your oldest aunt, you can live with grandma and your little aunt.”
“Your aunt has been doing quite well recently. She bought a villa beside the beach. You can choose which room you want to live in.”
No matter how smart a young lady was, she was still a little child. She was still young and much easier to coax than her mother. There wouldn’t be any difficulty in making her listen as long as she had the patience to coax her.
This was what Grandma Ye thought. She glanced at Ye Zhixiang and signaled Ye Zhixiang to speak more.
While she was still indulging in her wishful thinking, Ye Jian had walked to the table beside the bed and pressed for the reception. “I have a bunch of people disturbing my meal. Before I get angry, please send someone to chase them away. Thank you.”
Grandma Ye’s gaze turned sharp instantly. It shot towards Ye Jian like a needle. The kindness on her face disappeared slowly as she said in a low voice, “Ye Jian, what do you want to do? Are you trying to be disrespectful to your grandma?”
“Are you rebelling? When your father was still around in the past, even he didn’t dare to be disrespectful to me. Why? Is your grandma not allowed to say anything to her granddaughter?”
Grandma Ye might be old, but when her face turned dark, she had an oppressive aura that Ye Zhixiang didn’t have.
She noticed that Ye Jian was not cooperating and had a faint feeling that the young lady in front of her wasn’t someone she could control within a short time. Since she couldn’t ‘invite’ her, she would ask people to ‘invite’ her!
