Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

”There’s no need for you to argue in front of me. You don’t have to worry about Ye Jian’s registered residence. You don’t have to worry about someone taking away the glory from Ye Jian. I’m already 80 years old. I don’t have long to live. I can’t make use of her achievements.”

Uncle Gen spoke in a cold tone. He slammed his copper pipe on the table forcefully with a loud ’clang’. There was coldness on his old but stern-looking face. Ye Zhifan and Grandma Ye didn’t dare to speak loudly anymore.

In Shuikou Village, Uncle Gen was always well-respected.

Jian was going to participate in the university entrance examination soon and they still wanted to play small tricks now? Let’s see if they have the ability to do it.

Ye Zhifan was a member of the provincial office but he didn’t have much presence in front of Uncle Gen. This was a Class A Master Sergeant that didn’t even need to greet a chief. Ye Zhifan didn’t have the guts to confront him personally.

He hurriedly apologized, ”Uncle Gen, don’t be angry. It’s my fault that I said something I shouldn’t. No matter what happened, Ye Jian is still part of the Ye family. My mother is old and conservative. Also, she’s worried about her granddaughter so that’s why she was impolite. Don’t blame her.”

Good fellow, he pushed all the blame away and piled them all on Grandma Ye. It seemed like Ye Zhifan was a master at pushing blame. He must have done it many times to be so skilled at it.

”Zhifan, it looks like you want your Elder Sister-in-law and Elder Brother to turn in their graves. You received benefits from your sister-in-law and promised me that you will take care of Ye Jian. After getting the benefits, you don’t want to be responsible for her anymore. I didn’t expect you to be someone like this. I’m so disappointed! So disappointed!”

Grandma Ye’s reaction wasn’t bad either. She dragged out Ye Jian’s mother and immediately noticed a tinge of guilt on Ye Zhifan’s face. She sneered. So what if you’re a member of the provincial office? You managed to get to that position because of other people!

After she finished speaking, she got up and said to Uncle Gen, ”Old pal, Ye Jian doesn’t even acknowledge her blood-related grandmother. She lacks discipline. If I don’t raise her beside me, I can’t answer to my eldest son! This matter can’t end like this.”

She didn’t reach a consensus with Ye Zhifan so she needed to continue discussing with him. Also, she had to make sure that there was still some leeway in the things she wanted to do. That way, she could raise this topic again when she came to visit him the next time.

Grandma Ye didn’t want to sever her ties with Ye Zhifan completely so she said that she would be back again another day. This was so that she had some space to discuss with Ye Zhifan again in the future.

Ye Zhifan guessed what she was thinking. He shifted his gaze slightly and a cold look flashed past his eyes. He said to Uncle Gen, ”Uncle, let me persuade my mother first. I will come and visit you another day.”

Uncle Gen’s expression turned colder when he saw through the thoughts in their minds. ”I know what you’re thinking and Ye Jian knows them too. Your daughter is good at studying but her character is like you.”

”Jian has a bright future ahead. You’d better stop those dirty thoughts in your mind. If Jian finds out, I’m afraid you might not be able to handle her.”

The muscles on Ye Zhifan’s face tensed up when he heard this. Fortunately, he was still able to keep his expression calm. He sighed and said, ”Uncle, you have some prejudice against me. I will explain it to you another day. I will not disturb your rest today. See you again.”

Then, he walked out hurriedly without stopping.

Uncle Gen said to Principal Chen who walked out of the room, ”Look, Dongfeng, I also want Jian to come back but she really can’t come back now. The moment she comes, she will be pestered by them.”

”They even want to get Jian’s registered residence! How shameless! They want to use it to hinder Jian and destroy her future prospects!”
