Ye Jian was a hard catch; truthfully, he held the most say about that; he had experienced her rejection, cold shoulder, avoidance, there was even a time where they hadn’t seen each other for almost a year. Finally, he chose to go on the attack.

Nowadays, she had finally warmed up a bit to him; it was like going through calamities while on a pilgrimage; when he finally got his hands on the scriptures, how would he be willing to make her sad.

The night sky gradually darkened, dark clouds floated above as they hid the starry sky; when midnight came, the pitter-patter of rain could be heard. It didn’t stop until 5 a.m. the next day.

Ye Jian, who had the habit of waking up early, didn’t stay idle. Since she couldn’t start her morning training, she had prepared green bean and baihe congee so that when Grandpa Gen wakes up, he’ll be able to have some.

People who had gone up in age also aren’t used to waking up late; after hearing the rooster’s cockadoodle, he lost all sleepiness; when Ye Jian was agilely making breakfast in the kitchen, Old Uncle Gen put on a straw cape, picked up his fishing rod and walked out of the peach forest, and he headed towards the two ponds in the village to fish.

The weather in July, even though it was barely past 5 a.m., there was already sunlight; some of the villagers already had their doors opened wide, turned on the lights in their kitchen as they started the new day’s hard work.

Seated in the most central location in the village, the Ye family household had also lit up their lights; old Uncle Gen, who was walking on the embankments, narrowed his eyes, his gaze contained slivers of coldness as he stared at the car parked in front of the Ye family house front gates.

Sun Yaozu’s car? Seems like Old Mrs. Ye had returned!

This can’t do; she can’t be allowed to see little lass Jian.

Old Uncle Gen, who had on a straw cape, tugged a wooden bucket with his right hand while his left hand, he held a fishing rod made of thin bamboo. He turned around while being showered by rain and headed back.

“Where are you going? Grandpa Gen, is there something urgent?” The congee was still undercooked; when Ye Jian noticed Grandpa Gen walking in with a straw cape, she revealed a shocked expression; she didn’t even know Grandpa Gen had woken up a long time ago.

Hurriedly, she helped the old man hang the straw cape he had just taken off, her gaze glanced off the fishing rod, Grandpa Gen went fishing this early in the morning, but he had returned before his fishing line had been loosened… did he bump into something when he went out just now?

Grandpa Gen originally wanted to hide the truth from Ye Jian, then remembered that she had always been a keen girl; he then said with an amiable face: “I just went fishing, before I reached the pond, I saw Sun Yaozu’s car parked in front of the Ye family house, I’m surmising that Old Mrs. Ye had just returned.”

So that’s what happened.

“Grandpa, don’t bother with them, she and Ye Zhixiang had offended someone powerful and was hospitalized after being scared, the main reason they came back was to dodge trouble.” Ye Jian’s smile was tranquil, without any hint of an oddity, “Grandpa should just rest assured, there’s no need for you to worry because of the Ye family, people like them, worrying about them is purely wasting time, ignoring them is the best solution.”

She didn’t mention that Old Mrs. Ye had looked for her and caused a lot of trouble for her not too long ago, not even a word.

“Grandpa had already said, my dad wasn’t her son, and my dad had already paid off her kindness while he was still alive. As to me, first of all, I’ve never eaten off her hands. Secondly, I’ve never used anything she gave, if she wants to act like my grandma, heh, she really can’t do that.”

Against the Ye family, Ye Jian’s attitude had always been unyielding; she would absolutely never bow her head before them.

After a moment, Old Uncle Gen gently patted Ye Jian’s hand that was holding him, his amiable gaze stared at the beautiful girl, who was much stronger than her mother; gratification could be heard from his vigorous voice: “It’s great that you can think like that, Old Mrs. Ye is not to be afraid of, she’s already old, even if she wanted to stir up stuff, she wouldn’t have too much time, not fussing with her is the right idea.”

“The one you should be wary of is Ye Zhifan, but right now, all you can do is only be wary of him, don’t try to do anything. That guy, he cares the most about his career; before you have absolute confidence, do not act rashly, this is to prevent you from courting disaster.”
