Chapter 1154: An Old Lady That’s Hard To Deal With

Mrs. Tong took the chance to go to the library. Since the old lady came, she must have something to do with Ye Jian. However, she didn’t know the old lady’s intention.

Principal Chen, who was tidying a new batch of books delivered to the library, placed the books in his hands down when he heard that Ye Jian’s grandmother is here. He smiled and said, “Thank you for coming to find me. I’ll go over immediately. There’s no need to tell Ye Jian about this. Don’t affect her exam.”

“Don’t worry, I will take care of Ye Jian’s side. However, her grandmother came along with Ye Ying’s father. You will probably have to use some effort to deal with them.” It was inappropriate for her to say bad things about her past student’s parents so Mrs. Tong reminded Principal Chen implicitly.

She had such a wealthy grandmother but Ye Jian never mentioned her before. It felt strange just thinking about it.

Principal Chen wasn’t flustered at Grandma Ye’s arrival. After Uncle Gen told him everything, he had a deeper understanding of Ye Jian’s family matters. Also, during the Chinese New Year, they wanted to shift Ye Jian’s registered residence. Principal Chen anticipated Grandma Ye’s arrival.

Since she came now, he should go and meet him.

Principal Chen walked towards the office building calmly. Grandma Ye must have come for Ye Jian’s registered residence.

There were only around forty days left until the university entrance examination. Their intentions were unkind.

He thought back on all these years where Ye Jian persevered alone. No matter how tired or hard it was, she never thought of giving up. She did everything so that she could build a path towards her future. In the end... some evil people jumped out to create a fuss. They just didn’t want to see her leading a good life.

“It looks like they will continue kicking up a fuss in the future.” Principal Chen sighed. An eerie gaze flashed past the eyes of this world-class sniper. Even if they kicked up a fuss, he would make sure they have a hard time!

How dare they try to destroy Jian’s future? They needed to pass him first!

In the principal’s office, Grandma Ye complained until her voice started trembling. There was sorrow on her amiable face as she cried and said, “My granddaughter was never close with me ever since she was young. She is stubborn and will remember small things for a long time.”

“That year, I wanted to take her away but she didn’t agree. She wanted to stay with her uncle. It’s good to have an uncle taking care of her so I didn’t persuade her. I felt that since her uncle will take care of her and they are in the village, she will be comfortable staying there.”

“However, the older she got, the more independent she got. She quietly goes against my son and doesn’t acknowledge him as her uncle. She doesn’t acknowledge her aunt either and now, she doesn’t want to acknowledge her own grandmother too.”

“She did whatever she wanted and never gave any leeway to her family. I worried so much about her. I prayed for her every day and hoped that she would be safe and everything would go smoothly for her.”

As she spoke, Grandma Ye touched the red sandalwood Buddha beads on her wrist that had become shiny because of her constant touching. She quietly muttered, “Amitabha.” Then, she continued, “Now that she became so outstanding, I feel that my prayers had been answered. It was all worth it.”

Ye Jian became outstanding so her prayers were answered and everything was worth it?

Was she saying that Ye Jian’s results were the effort of her prayers?

Principal Cao, who was waiting for Principal Chen to come, wasn’t someone who would get easily led by an old lady. He smiled warmly and replied, “Believing in Buddhism is good. First, we ask for inner peace. Second, we ask for a smooth life. Third, we wish for safety and fourth, we hope that our wishes will come true.”
