Chapter 249: Earnest Words

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Princ.i.p.al Chen was a knowledgeable person. He could catch up with the middle-aged man no matter what the other party said. After some time, the middle-aged man started to become more humble.

Ye Jian smiled gently.

Normally, Princ.i.p.al Chen was not like this. He must have realized that the middle-aged couple was looking at them as though they were thieves so he did this.

The middle-aged man probably felt that he was unable to feel superior in terms of knowledge so he took out his cellular phone which looked like a brick. In this era, having a cellular phone meant that this person was wealthy and had a high status.

The person sleeping on the berth above Ye Jian was a young man who was working at the province. He leaned over and took a look at the cellular phone. Then, he said, “It’s so ugly. I thought that it would look good.”

Ye Jian laughed silently when she heard what he said. The people from Yannan City was the most astute people in the entire province… or rather, the entire country.

They were not only shrewd but also looked down on other people too. Wherever they were, they had a strange sense of superiority.

Using a cellular phone to showoff was something people from Yannan City would do.

Ye Jian didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the conversation. She laid on her pillow and listened to the sound of the train. Soon, she went into a light sleep.

Every time she fell asleep, she would wake up when she heard the vibrations of the train. Her sleep was light.

Three rows down, Ye Ying couldn’t sleep too. This national day holiday, she would be going to the provincial capital to study. She would use these seven days to improve her English. There will be a foreign teacher accompanying her every day. She would need to converse in English all the time.

She tossed and turned in bed. Ye Zhifan was a light sleeper too so he woke up.

When he heard Ye Ying turning her body again, Ye Zhifan said in a low voice, “Yingying, you need to learn to keep calm and draw in your claws. You must secretly work hard and gain more knowledge and experience. Then at the right moment, you will amaze everyone.”

“Father has said this multiple times but you don’t seem to understand what I said.” Yingying only met Ye Jian and didn’t even talk to her. However, she lost her cool already.

Ye Zhifan remembered Ye Jian’s performance in the morning. Her expression was indifferent. Even when she was talking to him, she maintained a gentle smile. Whether it was her expression or her tone, she was calm. She seemed to have forgotten about what happened in the past.

He had to admit that Ye Jian was better than his daughter. There was no way he could deny it.

His niece, who used to seek a living under their roof, used to be a timid and indecisive person who always listened to Yingying. When did she become such a powerful figure? Even he had to bow down to her sometimes.

She was not someone who attacked people voluntarily. However, if anyone provoked her, she would retaliate instantly and show people that she was not someone easy to bully.

This could be seen from the fact that Sun Dongqing suffered in her hands many times.

Luckily, she didn’t offend people actively. If not, Yingying might not be able to go back to school anymore.

“Ye Ying, you have to admit that she is better than you. Also, you have to admit that you can’t win against her now. She received an international award and persuaded a Chinese businessman to set up the ‘Outstanding Student Scholars.h.i.+p’. Yingying, touch your heart and ask yourself. If you went overseas for the compet.i.tion, will you be able to achieve what she did?”
