Chapter 763 - Why Didn’t Ye Jian Come

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Grandma Ye smiled like the Bodhisattva when she saw the family of three. “It must be hard for you to come over during such a huge storm. I was worried that something might happen to you on the way here, so I prayed for a long time. I prayed that you could arrive safe and sound.”

Then, she closed her eyes and placed her palms together. “Amitabha.”

After that, she stretched her hands out and pulled Ye Ying’s hand. She sighed continuously. “I know that you are filial, but you can’t risk the life of your child. If she is hurt, as her parents, you’ll regret it.”

From her words, it seemed as if she was being thoughtful towards Ye Zhifan’s family, but if you listened to her carefully, you would realize that she was saying she didn’t ask the family of three to come over. They were the ones who wanted to come to show their filial piety. Hence, if something happened to them, it had nothing to do with her.

Ye Ying felt as if there was a snake tangled around her hands. It was ice-cold. There was no warmth on it at all.

The smile on her face was stiff, but she still spoke in a gentle and friendly tone, “Grandma, don’t worry. My father drives safely. The rain is heavy, but nothing will happen if we drive slowly. That is why we took so long to come.”

Grandma Ye looked at Ye Ying again when she heard this. The grip on her hands tightened as she replied calmly, “You have grown up. You know how to coax me now.”

“You’re my grandma. If I don’t coax you, who will I coax?” Ye Ying smiled and sat down on the side of the bed. She even laid her head on her grandma’s shoulder intimately. On the surface, it looked as though the two of them had a good relationship.

Sun Dongqing was unable to pretend to be friendly. She was fuming in anger secretly, but she forced a smile on her face and said, “Mom, look at what you’re saying. You came and even specially asked Sister-in-law to give us a call. You chose a good time too. Look at the storm. Since you’re back, how can we neglect you? Even if there is a flood, we will come to see you.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“There was a year when you came during heavy snow. It was so heavy the mountains were closed. Zhifan had to walk a few hours in the snow to find you. From then on, every rainy day, his knee will hurt. It’s so painful that I’ll cry for him sometimes.”

“We haven’t seen each other for a few years, but Sister-in-law has become really good at talking. I didn’t know that my second sister-in-law has the same sharp tongue as my oldest sister-in-law. It’s not strange though. You’re sisters anyway,” Ye Zhixiang smiled as she replied to Sun Dongqing. They just met, but they were already fighting.

Ye Zhifan greeted his mother before saying indifferently, “Your sister-in-law gave in to you in the past because you were young. Now, you’re almost forty years old. If your sister-in-law still relents to you, other people will laugh at you.”

Hmph, is he helping his wife to scold his younger sister?

“Brother, you’re so different now after you became a high-ranking official. You’re even speaking like an official in front of your younger sister. Mother, you should tell him that no matter how high his position is, he’s still your child.” Ye Zhixiang wasn’t afraid of trouble. She brought her mother out directly to suppress the arrogance of her brother.

He had become really proud! Two years ago, he didn’t even dare to talk back to her. Look at him now. Just like what her mother said, the higher he climbed, the tougher his wings became!

Grandma Ye laughed and persuaded them as though she was talking to two bickering children. “Enough, I know that the two of you have a good relationship. You always bicker with each other. Now that you’ve grown older, you’re still the same. As a brother, you should give in to your younger sister.”

Then, she frowned and asked, “Why didn’t Ye Jian come? Does she think that she’s very precious, so she doesn’t even want to come when her grandma is here?”
