Chapter 797: This Is The Secret
“You got better at speaking so your words are more pleasant to the ears now. However, you still didn’t complete the task. I still feel frustrated.” Grandma Ye turned the prayer beads in her hand as she sighed. She sounded a little sad and sour too.
If she couldn’t see that little girl... let it be. Grandma Ye felt that it was time to talk about the other matter. As she thought about this, she turned the prayer beads in her hand faster.
Grandma Ye had a habit of reciting scriptures every morning. She turned the prayer beads one round before wearing the prayer beads bracelet back on her wrist. She took the red tea that Ye Zhixiang prepared for her and said, “Your younger sister’s tea-making skills have improved. This tea is a premium red tea. You can have a taste of it. If you like it, you can take two bottles back. It’s good for keeping and gifting to others.”
Grandma Ye spent the most effort on her daughter. She just hoped that her daughter’s family would be safe and sound.
As for her son, the old man had said it. Sometimes, you wouldn’t be able to get friendly with someone no matter what.
“Mom, you know that I don’t have the habit of drinking tea. I can quench my thirst with plain water.” Ye Zhifan had been an official for many years. He might not be Grandma Ye’s match in the past but now, that wasn’t the case.
Ye Zhifan saw Grandma Ye’s expression turning dark when she got rejected unexpectedly. He smiled lightly and continued, “Mom, you have been staying with Sister for so many years so it’s normal that you don’t understand my lifestyle habits. Don’t blame yourself. I’m not blaming you.”
Ye Zhifan gave Grandma Ye a taste of her own medicine. This was how she spoke to him in the past. Grandma Ye’s gaze turned dark.
“All of you have grown up. After your wings have hardened, you don’t care about me anymore.” Grandma Ye’s expression wasn’t good but there weren’t any changes in her tone. Her voice was old and desolated. “For the sake of your younger sister and your two nephews, think of a way to clear the fugitive status of your brother-in-law using your connections.”
“You must put in more effort in this matter. Your brother-in-law’s health isn’t very good recently. Our family finally has someone who is a government official. Mom hopes that our family will all be safe and sound and everyone will be healthy.”
“Money isn’t a problem as long as the problem can be solved.”
Just like what Ye Zhifan guessed, Grandma Ye brought her daughter back because she wanted to resolve Sun Yaozu’s fugitive status. She wanted to use Ye Zhifan’s network to give it a try.
If she succeeded, that was the best situation. If not, it wouldn’t affect them too. She could just ask her daughter and son-in-law to escape overseas.
Now, she had money so it made everything easier.
Hearing this, Ye Zhifan tossed the small teacup he held in his hand directly on the coffee table and sneered. “Mom, you’re really so considerate of Ye Zhixiang’s family. You’re using my future to exchange for Sun Yaozu’s identity. Mom, are you still treating me like an idiot?”
“You’re almost 40 years old but you’re still so immature. When did I ever think of using your future as a bet? I just wanted to ask you if you have any way out since you’re rising in rank so quickly. This might mean that you have someone backing you up.”
Grandma Ye felt more at ease when Ye Zhifan got angry and threw a tantrum at her. It looked like he really had someone powerful helping him.
Ye Zhifan’s expression was exceptionally cold. He said directly, “I can only tell you that I don’t have any ways to help you. You really have the guts to think that a fugitive’s identity can just be changed so easily. You must be used to using money to settle things over these years. You got more arrogant the older you got.”
