If they wanted to hinder Jian’s future, they needed a valid reason.
Her grandma didn’t seem like her grandma and her uncle didn’t seem like her uncle. No matter how you looked at it, it was weird.
Principal Chen contemplated for a moment before replying, “Old Gen, why do I feel that the old lady and Ye Zhifan’s relationship doesn’t seem good. It’s very weird but I don’t know how to describe it. Also, I understand that Ye Zhifan wants to suppress Ye Jian for his daughter because he’s jealous but I can’t understand the old lady’s actions.”
“If my analysis is right, she came because Ye Zhifan asked her to. She wants to use her identity as an elder to get Ye Jian’s registered residence back. Ye Jian is her granddaughter. If her granddaughter has good prospects, she should be happy, right? Why does she want to ruin her granddaughter’s future instead?”
Principal Chen was able to see the problems that other people weren’t within a few sentences of arguments.
“The matters of the Ye family aren’t complicated but if you want to explain it properly, it will take a few hours too.” Uncle Gen sighed softly and told Principal Chen some things that even Ye Jian didn’t know. “…It’s good for you to know some things. I’m afraid that after I pass away, no one will be able to tell her these things.”
He just began his talk but the information he revealed was enough to shock Principal Chen.
No one will be able to tell Ye Jian these things? What were these things?
Ye Jian’s house was at the end of the village. The mountain was behind her and there was a stream in front. There weren’t many villagers who walked past here as compared to the village. Even if one opened the two doors that had been painted with tung oil, they wouldn’t need to be afraid of someone eavesdropping on them.
Uncle Gen spoke really slowly. Every single sentence caused huge fluctuations in Principal Chen’s heart. In the end, he could only repeat two words continuously, “No wonder, no wonder, no wonder…” No wonder they weren’t mother and son. He was adopted.
That would explain why their relationship was so tense.
“No wonder Ye Jian doesn’t look like Grandma Ye’s granddaughter. So this was what happened?” Principal Chen was extremely shocked. Even now, he hadn’t managed to calm down. He continued, “Why didn’t you tell Ye Jian about this? Since this is about her, it’s alright to let her know.”
“There’s no need to tell her for now. You can tell her if the Ye family kicks up a larger fuss.” Uncle Gen shook his head. He didn’t plan to tell Ye Jian any time soon. “You can tell her but her future prospects must be clear first.”
“Look at her. She went through so many troubles just to study in senior high. I can’t distract her with other things. Now, it’s hard for the Ye family to touch Ye Jian even if they want to. We can just let them kick up a huge fuss and see if the person behind the jade would do anything.”
Principal Chen was enlightened. “You want to lure the person behind the jade out, right?”
“That’s right. Now, the fuss the Ye family creates won’t affect Jian much. Ye Zhifan won’t be able to move Ye Jian’s registered residence alone. After Jian gets admitted into the military school and she withdraws her registered residence, what can they do? Nothing.”
It was fortunate that Major Xia made preparations beforehand. If they waited until now, Jian might have a hard time entering the military school.
Thinking about it carefully, besides eyeing Jian’s registered residence, there were no other loopholes for the Ye family to find. No, that wasn’t right. They couldn’t do anything about her registered residence either. Principal Chen thought carefully for a moment and smiled. “The Ye family can’t hold Jian back. Ye Zhifan won’t be able to stand up for his daughter.”
“Also, we need to find the person behind the jade. That way, we will at least know if Martyr Sun Xueqing sacrificed because of it.”
