Both Xia Jinyuan and Ye Jian did not mention Ye Ying, since they knew about the results, what need would they have to mention about it.
Those kinds of people are unworthy to appear in the conversation topics between him and her.
With an expressionless face, he replied without any interest, “Going into society, you’ll have to pay for what you did sooner or later. Revoking three years of Gaokao qualifications was still considered good, the punishment wasn’t that severe.” It was a pity they didn’t manage to dig up dirt on Ye Zhifan.
Handling Ye Ying was but a matter of lifting their hands; the true person Ye Jian wanted to deal with was only Ye Zhifan.
Thinking about Ye Zhifan, Xia Jinyuan’s cold eyes went colder by several degrees; even Xia Yiwei was quite surprised by the speed of his promotion; when they were investigating, they couldn’t even find anything on him that had gone wrong.
Someone who had managed to get into the Provincial Cadre by his own accord, his resume was absolutely spotless.
The only suspicious thing was that Ye Zhifan managed to meet an opportunity every time, and everything he was met with was huge events where he could render meritorious services!
For example, from the City department being promoted to the Provincial department, he was met with an extremely severe winter storm and dealt with it extremely well; he managed to reduce the loss of property for the country, and also managed to help the people regain their loss of property, and with only that winter storm, he was promoted into the Provincial government just like that.
Having a spotless record was also problematic; at the same time, this had sounded the alarms in his mind, he could absolutely see there was someone behind Ye Zhifan who was supporting him from the shadows.
Until Ye Jian had walked outside, Xia Jinyuan was still pondering on how to create an opening from Ye Zhifan’s clean slate and investigate who under the heavens was helping him.
About that, Ye Jian smiled as she said: “There’s no rush, even if we really managed to find something right now, I’m still powerless to do anything about it. The most important thing right now is to build a solid foundation for myself.”
With Ye Ying’s incident of her Gaokao qualification being revoked, reasonably, Ye Zhifan would quiet down and wouldn’t dare to act so easily.
Ye Jian was unaware of what’s happening by the school’s front gate. After she left the school, she got in Xia Jinyuan’s care as they returned to visit Grandpa Gen.
The busy Ye Zhifan had gone through several hours of offering apologies. Finally, he was able to reach an agreement with the parents and used the money to pay off misfortune.
When Old Mrs. Ye caught word of it, she got so angry ribs on both sides started aching, “Fool, fool! I called her to find trouble with that d*mned lass, and look at what she’d done, she was so stupid she didn’t even manage to step foot into the school, and had gotten into a fight with the other parents!”
Foolish thing! How can there be someone so stupid like her!
“I couldn’t stop her no matter what, and she had scratched me as well.” Ye Zhixiang covered her face with her hand, her gaze glanced towards the door, she turned around and whispered: “Ma, Yaozu said we should go back to the village before Second Brother had gone back to his senses.”
He can’t be allowed to know that they were the ones who instigated Sun Dongqing to go to the school.
Old Mrs. Ye already had enough of staying in the hospital now, since Hou Zi didn’t have any motions on his side, she also started having the idea of returning back to the village, “Might as well, it’s not peaceful nowadays, we’ll return to the village and stay for a while, let’s just treat it as a vacation.”
That’s why, while Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan were driving back to Shuikou Village, on the other end, Sun Yaozu was also driving Old Mrs. Ye back to Shuikou village.
The village wasn’t as bustling as the city, but it’s much more quiet here; lying down on a bamboo chair as she stared up at the skies dotted with shining stars, Ye Jian beamed a smile at Old Uncle Gen: “When Principal Chen comes back, Grandpa can fish and play chess with Principal Chen every day.”
“It’s good if he did, it’s good if he did, your Uncle Chen had rushed about his entire life, and also worried for you for so many years, it’s about time he retired, I tell you.” Old Uncle Gen sipped on the tea, the amiable smile on his face never faded, he looked at the young girl who had a delighted expression, he smiled: “You should be careful when you’re outside, don’t try to do things on impulse.”
“That Major Xia that accompanied you home, I think he’s a reliable person; with him taking care of you, both your Uncle Chen and I can relax. However…, you must understand self-reliance is better than relying on others, only by motivating yourself to strive do you gain the essentials to have your foothold.”
The ones who truly cared wouldn’t blindly pamper you, allow you to do anything you wanted; instead, they’ll remind you while you’re riding the crest of success; Old Uncle Gen was like that; he never forgets to remind Ye Jian.
