Chapter 1229: Strengthening Yourself

Ye Jian was hard to chase. Actually, he had the right to speak the most. After her resistance, coldness, and evasion, they hadn’t met for almost a year. In the end, he chose to take the initiative.

Now that she had finally relented, it was a little like gaining experience from a calamity. How could he bear to make her sad?

As the night deepened, dark clouds covered the sky full of stars. In the middle of the night, it began to rain, and it didn’t stop until five o’clock the next morning.

Ye Jian, who was used to waking up early, made herself busy. She couldn’t do her morning exercises so she prepared green beans and plain congee early in the morning. She was waiting for Uncle Gen to wake up so that he could have some.

Old people weren’t used to waking up late. When they heard the rooster crowing, they didn’t feel sleepy anymore. When Ye Jian was making breakfast in the kitchen, Uncle Gen walked out of the peach blossom forest with his fishing rod and walked towards the two ponds in the village.

Even if it was five in the morning in July, there was still daylight. Some of the villagers opened the doors to their houses and lit up their kitchen lights to start a new day of work.

The Ye house, which was built in the center of the village, had its lights turned on. Uncle Gen, who was walking past the field, had a serious look on his face as he stared at the car parked at the entrance of the Ye house.

Sun Yaozu’s car. It looks like Grandma Ye has returned!

No, I can’t let her see Jian.

Uncle Gen, who was wearing a straw raincoat, turned around and braved the rain with a wooden bucket in his right hand and a fishing rod made of bamboo in his left.

“Where are you going now? Grandpa Gen, is there something urgent?” The porridge was not ready yet. Ye Jian was surprised to see Uncle Gen coming in with a straw cape. She didn’t know that Grandpa Gen had woken up early.

She hurriedly took the straw raincoat that the old man had taken off and hung it up. Her gaze slid past the fishing rod. Grandpa Gen went fishing early in the morning, but he came back without even loosening the fishing line… Did something happen when he went out?

Uncle Gen wanted to hide it from Ye Jian. However, he remembered that she was always smart so he said kindly, “I went fishing. Before I could reach the pond, I saw Sun Yaozu’s car parked outside the Ye house. I’m afraid that Grandma Ye might be back.”

So that was what happened.

“Don’t bother about her. She and Ye Zhixiang offended an impressive person outside and got hospitalized. I’m afraid that she came back to avoid trouble.” Ye Jian smiled calmly. “You can relax. Don’t worry about the Ye family. People like them are a waste of time to even think about. It’s best if you don’t bother about them.”

She did not mention that Grandma Ye had looked for her before and caused a lot of trouble.

“You’ve already said that my father is not her son. He had already repaid her kindness when he was alive. As for me, firstly, I didn’t eat her food, and secondly, I didn’t use her stuff. She thinks she can act like my grandmother in front of me, ha, she really can’t act.”

Ye Jian had a strong attitude towards the Ye family. She would never bow down to them.

Uncle Gen patted Ye Jian’s hand gently. His gaze was kind as he looked at the girl who was standing gracefully erect and stronger than her mother. There was a hint of gratification in his old and strong voice. “It’s good that you think that way. Grandma Ye is not a threat. She is old. She doesn’t have much time left. It’s right not to argue with her.”

“The one you have to be to be wary of is Ye Zhifan. However, you can only be on your guard now. You can’t do anything. He values his career the most. Before you have full confidence, you can’t act rashly. You don’t want to get into trouble.”
