Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don t Mess Around! - Chapter 1169

She exerted more force on her hand that was holding Ye Zhixiang’s wrist. Screams of pain sounded beside her ears but Ye Jian didn’t even raise her eyebrows. She continued calmly, “I’m afraid that I might unintentionally teach the bad people a lesson. For instance, listen to your daughter’s voice now. Does it sound tragic?”

If she wanted to fight Grandma Ye, she needed to be more vicious and more composed than her. They needed to see who was able to control their emotions better!

As compared to Ye Jian, Grandma Ye, who loved her daughter dearly, wasn’t as calm as Ye Jian. However, she had been seen many things after living for more than 60 years so her heart was encased with an outer layer of steel. It was thick and tough. She couldn’t bear to let her daughter suffer but she wouldn’t be as emotional as Sun Dongqing.

“Jian, are you really not afraid?”

“Afraid? Who is afraid of who now?” Ye Jian smiled and asked her back. Besides the coldness in her gaze, she looked calm and composed. “My registered residence isn’t under your name. You can’t interfere with any of my business. If I don’t want to see you, you can’t do anything. Why should I be afraid? Is there a need for me to be afraid?”

Grandma Ye felt her heart scrunching up in pain when she heard this… This wicked girl, wicked girl! How dare she act with so much disrespect in front of her. Indeed, she wasn’t Ye Xinfan’s child!

The angrier the other party became, the calmer Ye Jian was. They wanted to create trouble for her? They wanted to control her? Come and try!

Mrs. Tong started to feel more at ease when she noticed that the old lady didn’t gain any advantage after so many rounds of firing. She wasn’t afraid that her student would suffer now.

Ye Jian was the most outstanding student in the 96th batch of Provincial No.1 Middle School. All the teachers believed her and all the students trusted her. She had never caused any worry to the teachers in her two years in school and she never disappointed her teachers either. If she said that she could handle it, the teachers would believe that she could.

Only Grandma Ye’s heavy panting could be heard in the office. Even Ye Zhixiang had turned quiet.

As for Ye Zhifan, he wouldn’t interfere rashly in case Principal Cao had a bad impression of him.

Besides having someone help him secretly, Ye Zhifan was able to reach his status today because he did have some ability. If he was a useless person, the one helping him wouldn’t have acted at all.

He secretly observed Principal Chen’s expression. He noticed that Principal Chen wasn’t worried at all. Instead, when Principal Chen realized Ye Zhifan was looking at him, he glanced at Ye Zhifan calmly and gave him a faint and mysterious smile.

A smile? How was he still able to smile? Wasn’t he worried about Ye Jian?

This wasn’t right. By right, they should be worried. However, all of them were calm and their gazes were composed. They weren’t worried at all.

The more he looked at them, the more he felt that there was something wrong. When he held Grandma Ye up, he reminded her in a low voice, “Mom, they don’t seem worried about Ye Jian. Don’t you think that there’s something amiss?”

This wasn’t the time to have an internal fight. Ye Zhifan had been in politics for a long time so he knew that they needed to work together to tackle their opponents now. Hence, he would remind Grandma Ye when he should.

‘There’s no need to hurry.’ Grandma Ye used her gaze to answer him. The eeriness in the depth of her eyes was getting thicker. This wicked girl was really hard to deal with. She clearly knew what she was afraid of!

However, she didn’t know what Ye Jian was afraid of!

What was she afraid of?

What on earth was she afraid of?

There must be something!

She was old but her brain wasn’t rusty. Grandma Ye’s turbid eyes were sinister and cold as if they were giving off the stench of rotting wood that had been buried in the ground for a long time.

Principal Chen was at ease now. He could see that in front of Ye Jian, the arrogant Grandma Ye couldn’t gain any advantage at all. Instead, she would occasionally turn green with anger because of Ye Jian.
