Chapter 237 - Daughter Of A Sacrificed Soldier (5) (2/2)

It would be a huge embarra.s.sment to him if his wife apologized to Ye Jian in front of all the students and teachers.

That meant that from the start, Ye Zhifan didn’t plan to apologize.

On the first day of school, Town Mayor Ye’s daughter almost committed suicide due to her mother. This news spread like wildfire. Soon, the entire Fujun Town knew this. Even the people at Shuikou Village got wind of this news too.

It couldn’t be helped. Many parents came to send their children since this was the first day of school. Sun Dongqing picked a very good time. The fuss she kicked up was known by everyone in Fujun Town.

To other people, this was an issue they could gossip about. However, to Old Gen, this was a good time to settle one matter.

The matter regarding Ye Jian’s guardian!

Grandpa Gen sat inside Princ.i.p.al Chen’s office. The atmosphere was tense. Even Secretary Wu was serious. He waited attentively for Grandpa Gen to speak.

“By right, Ye Jian should be here. However, since it’s lesson time, we don’t want to interrupt any students.” Old Gen’s words didn’t lighten the mood in the room. Instead, Ye Zhifan’s heart pounded faster.

Ye Zhifan smiled bitterly. “Uncle Gen, my wife did create trouble for Ye Jian today. She’s someone who speaks without thinking. Most of the time, she cares a lot for Ye Jian. After all, Ye Jian is her niece. Why would she…”

“Don’t try to curry my favor. Everyone in the village knows how Sun Dongqing treats Ye Jian. Nothing will change even if you try to cover up the facts.” Grandpa Gen stopped him directly. He didn’t plan to give any chance for this new town mayor. “Even Secretary Wu knows what the relations.h.i.+p is like between Ye Jian and your family. Town Mayor Ye, do you think that there is still a need to explain it?”

Ye Zhifan’s expression froze. He smiled helplessly. “No matter what, Ye Jian is my niece. As her uncle, I won’t treat her badly, right?”
