Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don't Mess Around!

Chapter 1227: It’s Better to Rely on Oneself

His expression was indifferent. He didn’t have much interest as he replied, “What goes around, comes around. Disqualification from the university entrance examination for three years is still ok. The punishment isn’t severe.” Unfortunately, he didn’t manage to get a hold of Ye Zhifan’s weakness.

It was easy to deal with Ye Ying. The only person Ye Jian wanted to deal with was Ye Zhifan.

Thinking of Ye Zhifan, Xia Jinyuan’s cold eyes turned cold. His promotion was so fast that even Xia Yiwei was surprised. However, she couldn’t find anything wrong during the investigation.

He was a provincial government official who had risen through the ranks purely based on his political achievements. His resume could not be cleaner.

The only suspicious thing was that Ye Zhifan was always able to make use of coincidences to achieve great things!

For example, when he was promoted from the city to the provincial office, he managed to make it in time to the extra-large ice disaster. He managed to reduce the loss of property for the country and salvage the loss of personal property for the masses. With that ice disaster, he was promoted to the provincial office.

Being too clean was a problem as well. At the same time, an alarm rang out in his heart. He could tell that someone was helping Ye Zhifan secretly.

Until Ye Jian came out, Xia Jinyuan was still thinking about how to cut open Ye Zhifan’s clean resume and find out who was helping him.

To this, Ye Jian smiled and said, “There’s no hurry. Even if we find out the truth, I can’t do anything about it. The most important thing is to build a good foundation.”

With Ye Ying’s disqualification from the university entrance examination, Ye Zhifan would probably quiet down and not dare to make a move again.

Ye Jian didn’t know what happened at the front gate. After leaving the school, she got into Xia Jinyuan’s car and went back to visit Uncle Gen.

Ye Zhifan had been busy all this while. After a few hours of apologizing, he finally reached a private agreement with the parents. He used money to solve the problem.

When Grandma Ye found out about it, she was so angry that her ribs hurt. “Idiot! Idiot! I told her to create trouble for the wretched girl, but she’s so stupid that she couldn’t even enter the school gate and fought with the parents instead!”

Stupid thing! How could there be such a stupid thing!

“I couldn’t persuade her no matter how hard I tried. She even scratched me.” Ye Zhixiang covered her face and glanced at the door of the ward. Then, she said softly, “Mom, Yaozu said that we should return to our hometown before Second Brother realizes.”

They couldn’t let him know that they had instigated Sun Dongqing to go to school.

Grandma Ye happened to be getting frustrated from staying in the hospital. Also, there didn’t seem to be any movements from Hou Zi’s side so she had the thought of going back to the village. “That’s good too. It hasn’t been peaceful recently. Let’s go back to the village and stay there. We can take it as a break.”

Hence, when Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan drove back to Shuikou Village, Sun Yaozu also drove Grandma Ye back to Shuikou Village.

The village wasn’t as lively as the city, but it was peaceful. Looking at the starry sky, Ye Jian smiled and said to Uncle Gen, “When Principal Chen comes back, you can play chess and fish with him every day.”

“It’s good to come back. It’s good to come back. Your Uncle Chen has been busy all his life and has been worried about you for so many years. It’s time for him to retire.” Uncle Gen sipped his tea. His benevolent smile never disappeared. He looked at the girl who looked content and smiled slightly. “You must be more careful as you step into society in the future. Don’t let your emotions affect your decisions.”

“I think Major Xia is a dependable person. With him taking care of you, your Uncle Chen and I can rest assured too. However... you should know that relying on others is never the same as relying on yourself. Only by improving yourself can you gain a foothold.”

Those who really cared about you wouldn’t only pamper and spoil you. Instead, they would remind you when you were happy. Uncle Gen was like that. He would remind Ye Jian at all times.
