Chapter 768: Kindhearted in Front of People, Evilhearted Behind Their Back
Grandma Ye walked into the room and immediately saw the young lady sitting calmly on a chair in the hotel room. She glanced at the young lady’s face. When she saw the face clearly, she was flabbergasted.
She looked exactly like her mother! It was as if they were made from the same mold!
It wasn’t only her features that were the same. Even her aura was similar too! It was like a pine tree; nothing could bend her!
There was no need to suspect if this was Ye Jian or not. One look was enough to know that this was the child of that woman!The old lady sized up Ye Jian openly. Ye Jian was sizing up the old lady whom she didn’t have any kinship with.
The old lady was wearing a loose purple cheongsam that had been modified simply. There were three buttons going down sideways from the collar. She might be afraid of the cold since she was getting old, so she was wearing a purple overcoat with complicated handmade embroidery on it. There were no buttons on the overcoat. It was only clipped together with a pure gold rose tie pin on the collar.
She looked noble and energetic. You could tell that she was an old lady who lived a comfortable life.
“This is indeed my oldest granddaughter whom I haven’t seen in a long time.” Grandma Ye smiled. The expression on her wrinkled face seemed amiable. Even her gaze was filled with kindness as she looked at Ye Jian. “Just now, Your aunt said that she saw you. I thought that she was wrong, but I didn’t expect it to be true.
The service staff was already on his intercom. When he heard that these people were a family, he started placing all the dishes on the coffee table.
After he finished, he said to Ye Jian, “Your dinner is all here. If you still need anything…” He lowered his head and glanced at the old lady who came in with the corner of his eyes. He also looked at the middle-aged lady who was dressed wealthily. He paused for a moment before continuing, “If you need anything, you can contact our staff members anytime.”
It wasn’t right for the hotel to care about someone’s family business. However, the service staff noticed that the first middle-aged lady who barged in seemed to be looking for trouble. That was why he said the last sentence.Ye Jian nodded at him lightly and thanked him. Then, she said, “I think that it’s better for the hotel to send someone over. I’m a guest at the hotel. Someone barged into my room without warning. I need an apology from the hotel.”
“Barge in without warning? My niece, are you done with your tantrum? You have left home for such a long time. Even your grandma had to come personally to look for you. If you’re done, it’s time to come home. Don’t make your family worry.” Ye Zhixiang frowned and pretended to feel helpless as if she was really reprimanding her niece. “If you’re done with it, come home with us. Don’t create trouble for the hotel!”
This hotel had a powerful background. Someone came in with guns to stop his husband from creating a fuss. Hence, it was better to keep a low profile.
Grandma Ye, who had been silent all these while, sighed and said to the service staff, “This is my oldest granddaughter. We had some disputes among ourselves and alerted the hotel. You can carry on with your work. We’ll take care of our own family business.”
She was used to being the family head at home, so when she came out, she still acted the same way.
The service staff glanced at Ye Jian. Then, he looked at the amiable old lady. He lowered his head and left politely.
Ye Jian, who wasn’t familiar with this old lady, started observing her quietly. After some time, this kind-looking old woman begun merging with the person who disliked her and kept scolding her every day before she turned three years old.
“All you do is use my money. I should have strangled you to death when you’re born. You’re wasting the food of the family!”
“Why are you always eating? Were you a hungry ghost?!”
“Stand at the side. You’re not allowed to eat! You dropped an entire bowl of steamed eggs!”
