Chapter 14 - See How You Will End It (2/2)

“Aunt, I beg you, give me a chance to live.”

As she finished her words, Ye Jian used her hands to cover her face and ran away.

She was heading to the neighboring village, to find her cla.s.smate Zhang Bin, who handed in the exam paper together with her yesterday.

In the old days, the damage was already done when she woke up from her trip and fall. She was bewildered and shocked to learn that she was accused of seducing her teacher.

Zhang Bin, who handed in the exam paper around the same time with her, was the only cla.s.smate who stood up for her.

Sun Dongqing and Ye Ying were dumbfounded as they saw Ye Jian running away in tears as if she was suffering indescribable grievances.

Zhang Defu could not stand what he had witnessed and he said unpleasantly, “Dongqing, your husband has only one niece, and you are Ye Jian’s aunt. Do you think it was appropriate for you to talk to your young relative like that?” Then, he flung his sleeves and left.

Sun Dongqing was so p.i.s.sed that she laid down on the ground. Slapping her thighs, she complained about her unreasonably bad luck and how she had been treating Ye Jian most kindly. Anyway, she couldn’t defend herself now that Ye Jian had left in tears.

Ye Jian, who was on her way to the neighboring village, couldn’t hear her complaints. Even if she could, she would not mind them.

Rather than waste time on the main street, she chose a small path that only required climbing over a mountain.

The hibernating animals, including snakes, woke up as soon as spring arrived.

Ye Jian picked up a branch as thick as two fingers. It was not to guard against snakes. She had not been frightened of snakes since she was a child. It was just a habit of hers to hold a branch in her hands.

When alone, she would be better off possessing a defensive weapon.
