Chapter 215 - People Who Seek Their Own Death (2/2)

For instance, this town mayor’s wife didn’t know anything but she still shamelessly talked nonsense and framed Ye Jian.

“No matter how bad your family’s relations.h.i.+p with Ye Jian is, I’ve never heard her talking behind your back,” he said in an emotionless tone. The words impacted Ye Ying heavily.

Ye Ying quickly thought of a solution. How much did he hear? How much did he know?

No, I need to distract him. He was so cold towards her in the suburban area outside the capital city last time. This time, she must regain his favor.

She calmed down and slowly turned over. She pretended to look excited and said in a natural tone, “When did you come back? Today? Why are you so late?”

Normally, Gao Yiyang would come and look for Ye Ying the moment he came back.

“I was indeed stupid last time.” Gao Yiyang looked at Ye Ying who managed to gather herself and acted so naturally within such a short time. There was contempt in his gaze. “Hearing is deceiving, seeing is believing. As for you, I have to use my ears, eyes, and heart to observe you.” This sentence was a reminder to himself too.

It might be an act of kindness when she pa.s.sed him her handkerchief or it might be because she wanted to gain a good reputation among her cla.s.smates.

Ye Ying was hard to understand. He couldn’t see through her and he didn’t want to try to anymore.

After what happened at the farm village, he saw her true character. She would not change just because he scolded her.
