Let me see if you have truly changed!
Since the argument had begun, Ye Ying didn't bother to pretend anymore. At this moment, she was not the kind-hearted and well-behaved Ye Ying. Now that she was upset, Ye Ying revealed her true personality—arrogant and spoiled. With a straight face, she said violently, "You live in my house and my family provides for you. You are worse than a dog if you leave my family!"
Ye Jian looked at her. Her black eyes were like the peaceful and spacious sea but also contained unfathomable depth and chill. Her stare made Ye Ying so uncomfortable that she swallowed and stammered, "Y… you, what are you looking at?"
With a gentle smile, she said slowly, "Go home and ask your mom who is really providing for me! One more thing, Ye Ying, it is you whose life would be more miserable than a dog if you leave me. Bear that in mind!"
"See you on Monday, Ye Ying."
Monday. Grade Eight of the Fujun Town Middle School would hold a mock exam. Do not underestimate this middle school. Because an army unit was stationed in this town, the school was rather strict with academics.
At the mention of Monday, Ye Ying's face froze instantly. She was furious and felt that she had suffered unimaginable grievances. Teardrops started to roll down like beads from her watery eyes.
"Sister, it's my bad, it's my bad. Please don't be angry." Although Ye Ying hated Ye Jian extremely, she pretended to admit her mistake right away. She acted just like a temperamental child, who could always win the forgiveness from adults easily.
Ye Jian glanced at Ye Ying's hands that were holding her sleeves. With a fake smile on her face, she looked at Ye Ying with contempt. "I've witnessed your deceitfulness too many times. You say how much you are sorry, but deep inside your heart, you hate me so very much."
"I know what you have said to your mom." Unexpectedly, Ye Jian turned around a bit and examined Ye Ying's flustered face with her cold black eyes. "Yesterday, you dragged me to run with you, because it was you who was seducing the new math teacher."
Hearing this, Ye Ying was panicked and frightened. However, to conceal the fact, she raised her voice and screamed, "Nonsense!"
"You know very well whether it is nonsense or not." Ye Jian raised her hand and patted on the back of Ye Ying's hands gently. With a faint smile, she said, "As the saying goes, he who is unjust is doomed to destruction. Ye Ying, you have never been good at proverbs, you must have not remembered this one."
At that moment, Ye Ying felt like something was being ironed into the back of her hands. She was so scared that she shook off Ye Jian's hands.
She looked at the smiling Ye Jian again. It seemed like she was the same old Ye Jian, but something was vaguely different. Yes, there were subtle smiles in her black eyes, but they were dominated by a chill…
"Ye Jian…" As usual, Ye Ying tried to raise her voice and yelled at Ye Jian. But it was not until she opened her mouth that she realized her voice was quivering.
The shiver was so obvious that Ye Jian could hear it.
"Oh! I'm going to tell my dad that you bully me! You bully me!" Anxious and scared, Ye Ying cried more loudly as she saw Ye Jian—the person that she had always been bullying and looking down upon—leave without looking back.
What should I do? How do I clean up this mess? Since Ye Ying dared not stay here any longer, she could only chase after Ye Jian while crying.
As Ye Ying chased after Ye Jian, she happened to run into her mother. Sun Dongqing was talking with the village leader, Zhang Defu, who was heading to the township government to run affairs. She could vaguely hear that her mom was asking about the teachers in her middle school.
Naturally, Ye Jian, who was closer to them, also could hear their conversation. With a faint smile on her face, she glanced at Ye Ying. Without a word, she had intimidated Ye Ying.
"Is it true that recently there is a math teacher from the city? I heard that…"
At this point, Ye Ying had forgotten her tears. Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she shrieked, "Mom! Stop meddling with such stuff!"
Since Ye Ying was guilty, what she was frightened of the most was the mentioning of teachers…
The sudden scream made Sun Dongqing's heart race. "Why are you yelling?! All you know is fooling around! You think you are a princess, don't you? And I am your servant. But you don't have to stay here if you are destined to be a princess."
It sounded like she was criticizing Ye Ying, but she was actually swearing at Ye Jian.
Ye Jian smiled and pretended she had not heard it. Since Ye Zhifan had not returned, and it was Ye Ying who was truly guilty, the scandal of seducing a teacher would not cause a storm in the village for the time being.
Sun Dongqing had tried so hard to subdue her anger. But as Ye Jian ignored her and maintained her composure, Sun Dongqing became infuriated again. She rolled her eyes and sneered, "Huh. Are you coming back to pack your things? It makes sense. My house is too banal and small to host such an important person like you."
She was saying these words to threaten Ye Jian!
Wicked girl! Let me see if you dare talk back to me again! If you don't behave, then leave my house! And you'll have nowhere else to go!
As the village leader Zhang Defu frowned and was about to ask what the problem was, he saw that Ye Jian's eyes were filled with tears. As tears dropped from her eyes, she sobbed, "Aunt, I have told you that I am innocent. I have never done such a thing as seducing my teacher. If I admit to such a false allegation, my life will be ruined."
"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 classmate 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 classmate 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 pissed 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.
