Ye Zhifan was still hoping for Ye Ying to get her grades and study abroad; who would’ve expected things to change drastically in one evening, at 7 p.m., the Provincial Government gave him a phone call and summoned him immediately to attend a meeting that he cannot be absent on, no matter what.
“Old Ye ah, you better prepare yourself.”
Before the phone call ended, his colleague that informed him of this meeting suddenly said that, causing Ye Zhifan, who usually wore a calm expression, to be visibly distressed.
He wanted to ask about it, but his colleague had already hung up. Clearly, that was the most his colleague could do to remind him.
To let Ye Ying sleep for a little while longer, the family of three stayed in the hotel and did not return home; Sun Dongqing immediately noticed her husband’s change of expression because of what happened to Ye Ying in the day; her mind was never calm, the moment she saw that she asked anxiously: “Who called?”
“The Provincial Bureau, they called for me to make my way to a meeting.” The corner of his lips was pressed tightly together; Ye Zhifan knew that when he spoke, his voice also tightened; he then took a glance at his daughter that was revising in the room… no matter how stupid, how disappointing she was, she’s still his daughter. Furthermore, she had gotten his approval to pull the things she did today.
Precisely because he knew he held some responsibility for that, Ye Zhifan did not step in to teach Ye Ying a lesson for saying that last idiotic sentence.
“I was reminded to be prepared; I have a feeling; this meeting has something to do with me.”
With her legs going weak, Sun Dongqing was anxious to the point of utter confusion, “What can we do? Is there anything that would be related to you? Don’t tell me…” The confused Sun Dongqing silenced herself, don’t tell me… because of what happened with their daughter.
Though she didn’t say it aloud, Ye Zhifan understood what she wanted to say, and his expression sunk, Sun Dongqing felt even more uneasy now.
She waited till midnight, with a perturbed mind, Sun Dongqing finally heard knocks on the door; at the same time, she had awaited the arrival of the terrible news that would frighten her out of her wits.
“Tell our daughter she doesn’t need to participate in Gaokao anymore, after discussion by the related department, they had decided to change the punishment, because the methods she used for framing had extreme consequences, she must be harshly punished, Second Provincial High, Examinee Ye Ying’s Gaokao qualification will be revoked for three years.”
The expressionless Ye Zhifan told Sun Dongqing the outcome of today’s meeting in one breath; this time around, it was a loss, their family lost terribly!
Ye Ying had already fallen asleep, after being woken up and notified of the outcome, she didn’t even make so much as a sound, with wide-open eyes, she fainted before Ye Zhifan and his wife with a straight face, Gaokao qualification revoked for three years, it’s over, it’s over, her life is over!
“Ying Ying ah, oh my Ying Ying, ah!” Hugging her daughter that fainted with wide-open eyes, Sun Dongqing wailed sharply, “Oh my Ying Ying ah, don’t scare Mommy, don’t scare Mommy ah.”
Ye Zhifan, who only had this precious daughter, was similarly terrified. His hands trembled as he dialed ‘120’ the emergency response number, then tried to guide her Qi back, tried pinching her renzhong; he was so terrified his complexion was shifting between green and white; he was so flurried both his hands were trembling.
Ye Ying was sent to the hospital very early in the morning; when she woke up, the whole morning had passed.
“How did this happen!”Old Mrs. Ye’s voice came in from outside, the sign of withering could be heard from her aged voice, “Why did you just accept the fact then! Wrong wrong wrong, what a huge mistake! How can you just accept that!”
“The Governor knew about it, so what, it’s a quarrel between two kids, the most he can do is just criticize you, do you think he can just fire you from your position!”
Old Mrs. ye was really enraged, never would she thought everyone would lose against that d*mned brat, this is too frustrating for her!
“Ma, can you let me have some peace? I don’t want to talk about anything right now.” Ye Zhifan sat with his head looking upwards; it was hard to read from his expressionless face, as he seemed quite fathomless.
