Chapter 1111: Do You Still See Me In Your Eyes?
His voice was low and the occasional barks of Heiga could be heard from the locked room. The grey-roofed, white-walled village house was extremely quiet. Fog subtly floated in the mountain behind the house. In the peach blossom forest in front of the house, tender buds could already be seen on the trees. Once the spring wind blows, the buds would blossom into beautiful flowers.
Ye Zhifan, who rushed through the peach blossom forest, finally saw the old lady walking on the ridges of the field. Stepping on the wet and muddy road, Ye Zhifan stopped running. He slowed down his pace and walked as though he was taking an idle stroll.
Right in the middle of the village, there was a small and new villa that was newly built. It looked exceptionally grand. The furious Grandma Ye walked into this new villa that was built on the land of the old Ye residence.
She was still planning to wait for Ye Zhifan to take the initiative to apologize to her. However, after waiting for a few hours, there were still no signs of him. She only knew that he left after the famous gossiper of the village, Auntie Qiu, came to talk to her!
He actually left!
Without bidding farewell!
“This is so infuriating. Do they still remember that I’m their mother?” After Auntie Qiu left, Grandma Ye exploded in anger in the room alone. Now, there was only her and her husband in the house. No matter how furious she was, there was no one to cajole her.
Sun Yaozu brought Ye Zhixiang and their sons to a class reunion. They would only be back late at night. No one was able to coax Grandma Ye so after she finished throwing her tantrum, she immediately called Ye Zhifan.
Ye Zhifan was rushing to the city when he saw the number that was calling him. A cold smile appeared at the corners of his lips. He slowly picked up the call. “What’s the matter, Mom?”
“What on earth do you want? Didn’t you say that after I get Jian’s registered residence back for you, you will help your brother-in-law to get the bid for the urban development? Did you forget about what we discussed yesterday night already?”
After she vented her anger, Grandma Ye could finally talk calmly. Her tone became more composed as she said, “Your brother-in-law has money and you have the power. As long as you cooperate, you will be able to grow your roots in the Southern Province. Other people won’t be able to harm you.”
“Why did you reject this win-win opportunity?”
Ye Zhifan didn’t drive back to the village this time. He was sitting on a dilapidated bus to go to the city. Amidst all the shaking, he smiled calmly and said, “What I want is not just a few words from you. Anyone can speak. I know how to speak too.”
“I want someone to do it for me. I want someone to do the things I want to do.”
Grandma Ye replied coldly, “When we form a verbal agreement, you can just find anyone to settle the issue after that. As a member of the provincial office, can’t you settle the problem of a registered residence?”
“Mom, if this was so simple, why will I still need to collaborate with Sun Yaozu? Also, there are three more months until the university entrance examination. I hope that the registered residence can be shifted out by that time. Mom, I will be relying on you to settle Ye Jian’s registered residence.” Ye Zhifan smiled as he finished his words. Then, he hung up without being afraid that Grandma Ye would be angry.
Cooperate with Sun Yaozu? Pfft! He would be a lunatic if he cooperated with a fugitive!
He just wanted to know if there was someone behind him!
There must be someone helping Ye Jian. He had been investigating her secretly over the past few years and even sent people to watch over her in school. However, there were no results.
He received news from the underworld that a girl called Ye Jian had a good relationship with the boss of the underworld, Third Master Hou. It was even rumored that Third Master Hou helped her to take care of a few gangsters.
He investigated this matter but there were still no gains. One was a student and the other was the boss of the mafia world. How did these two people develop such a good relationship? Their paths don’t even cross.
