Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don t Mess Around! - Chapter 1153

As she spoke, she raised her hand and pressed the corners of her eyes. Mrs. Tong noticed that this old lady, who had an elegant aura around her, was using a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears.

She looked at the old lady’s attire again. There was no crease on her outfit and exquisite flowers were sewn on her sleeves. She was wearing a navy blue pleated skirt that reached her ankles such that her shoes could be seen. She continued looking down. Mrs. Tong realized that even the shoes the old lady was wearing were embroidered shoes. From her entire appearance, you could tell that this was a wealthy person.

Such a wealthy grandmother… Mrs. Tong had some thoughts in her mind. She replied politely, “You’re being too kind. Based on what I know, Ye Jian is an orphan. Before she entered grade eight, she lived with Mr. Ye’s family. Even though you said that you’re her grandmother, I’m really sorry. I’ve never heard her mention it before.”

“Mrs. Tong, can we talk inside? Some things can’t be explained properly while standing.” Grandma Ye had already noticed that this teacher was protective of Ye Jian. It was understandable. That wicked girl had good results. Teachers would always protect good students.

Ye Zhifan opened his mouth. “Mrs. Tong, my mother misses her granddaughter. She came all the way here because she wants to see Ye Jian. If you feel that there’s any problem with this, you can ask around first. You can confirm if my mother is really Ye Jian’s grandmother. How about that?”

Mrs. Tong smiled when she heard him asking her to confirm this old lady’s identity. “Mr. Ye, you’re speaking too highly of me. I don’t need to confirm anything. I’m just doing the basic checks. As a teacher, I have the responsibility to protect the safety of my students.”

She really couldn’t believe them. The appearance of this wealthy grandmother was so sudden. How could she not be suspicious?

“Mrs. Tong, are you afraid that we will abduct Ye Jian? My mom and I sat for more than ten hours in the car so that we could take a look at Ye Jian. Why are you stopping a grandmother from seeing her granddaughter? Don’t you think you’re caring too much?”

Ye Zhixiang’s tone was very aggressive so Mrs. Tong replied in a deep voice, “Miss, I’m a teacher. I have my responsibility. Please be more polite. Thank you.”

Ye Zhixiang’s face turned red and white when she was refuted by a teacher. If Grandma Ye didn’t open her mouth now, she might have started arguing with Mrs. Tong.

“Mrs. Tong, I’ve waited outside for half an hour. You’re suspicious because you are a good teacher. It shows that you’re really concerned about my granddaughter.” Grandma Ye used her silk handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes again. She said in a choked voice, “This child had a hard life. Fortunately, she met you. With someone like you taking care of her, she will be able to grow up smoothly.”

“Let me thank you. Thank you for taking care of my granddaughter. Thank you, thank you…”

This old lady kept apologizing at the start. Now she was crying and kept thanking her. Mrs. Tong was still suspicious but she finally invited the three of them into her office.

“Ye Jian still has an exam later. It’s inconvenient for you to meet her now. You can take a sit in the principal’s office first. I will ask her to come over after she finishes her exam.” Mrs. Tong was always cautious about Ye Jian’s matters so when this old lady popped out suddenly with Ye Ying’s father bringing her in… Whenever Mrs. Tong remembered how Ye Ying treated Ye Jian in school, she would feel uncomfortable.

She needed to let Principal Cao know and ask him to greet them.

Principal Cao was stunned too when he heard about Grandma Ye. He didn’t know that Ye Jian had a grandmother either. As he was pouring some water, he told Mrs. Tong secretly, “Go and call Old Chen over. Tell him that Ye Jian’s grandmother is here.”
