Chapter 326: Who Is Stronger
Ye Ying walked over with her father and laughed. “Oh, it’s my sister, did you sit here all morning waiting for us? Mom, we don’t get to see my sister often, you should give her some change. Two days ago, a beggar came to our house asking for food and you generously gave him five cents. You can’t be too stingy to my sister. Give her a dollar.”
She treated Ye Jian like a beggar.
Ye Jian gave her a cold gaze and smirked. “Having done so many guilty things, even if you did kind things occasionally, I doubt that it will help much. Town Mayor Ye, am I right?”
“This wicked girl, I…” Sun Dongqing could tell that Ye Jian was humiliating her and was enraged. She raised her hand and swung it towards the direction of Ye Jian’s face, but was stopped by Ye Zhifan. “Stop fooling around!”
Sun Dongqing remembered what happened in the past and immediately withdrew her hand, feeling discontented. “I’m her aunt. Can’t I teach this disobedient girl a lesson?”
“Your daughter is just next to you, discipline her all you like. Also, Auntie Sun, don’t mention anything about kinship here. The next time you raise your hands again, you can try and see who is the better one.” Ye Jian would never be soft against Ye Zhifan’s family. Her cold gaze struck Ye Ying and looked at her with a devilish smile. “You can try and see who’s the one that will be disciplined.”
The words were threatening, sending a chill down Ye Ying’s spine. She was no longer smiling and her forehead was breaking out in cold sweat. “What do you want?”
“What do I want? That depends on what Auntie Sun wants.” Ye Jian glanced at a frightened Sun Dongqing, who did not dare to speak carelessly.
The coldness in her eyes was like heaps of snow, striking fear in the hearts of those who made eye contact. Even Ye Zhifan was having the chills.
Frowning, Ye Zhifan bellowed, “Things might have soured between us but we are still a family. Ye Jian, don’t you go overboard!”
“Did I go overboard? Town Mayor Ye, since you have benefitted from me, I don’t want any trouble from you! I did not even the score with you, not because I am afraid of you, but… Town Mayor Ye, a smart person like you should know what I meant.”
Her words sank Ye Zhifan’s heart. He remembered her niece had a superb memory and had decided not to continue any further.
Seeing that her parents were rendered silent by Ye Jian’s few words, Ye Ying clenched her teeth disgruntledly. “What are you happy about? Wait and see! I will make sure you will never be better than me!”
“We shall see.” Ye Jian raised her eyebrows wilfully, “I’ll be waiting for you.”
Ye Ying, I told you to wait… In this life, you’d better wait!
“You can’t even enter the Provincial No.1 Middle School and you want to compete with me! Heh, how ignorant!” Hearing that, Ye Ying laughed, as though as she had heard a joke. “You were nowhere near me since the beginning and now you want to compete with me? Dream on!”
Hearing this, Ye Zhifan saw that Ye Jian’s smile was getting wider.
He frowned slightly and didn’t stop Ye Ying. Ye Jian smiled. “The school that you think of as treasure, it’s dispensable to me. Having it would not add to my glory. Without me, I am still me.”
