Chapter 324: They Are Not Family

Ye Ying did not have much impression of her grandparents. They had only met a few times, if they had not been mentioned today, she would have forgotten that she actually had grandparents.

“I wouldn’t even want to offend them. They are living comfortably with Aunt’s family. They only regard Aunt’s son as their grandchild. Who am I? Offend them? Hmph, I rather live a few more years.” Ye Ying remembered the things that happened a few years ago. It gave her the chills.

Although she was bullying Ye Jian at that time, it was nothing compared to what her Aunt’s family did.

Especially her husband. He had a fierce and loathsome face. He would kick Ye Jian as if she was his enemy.

No one would dare to stand up and stop him. Her grandparents would even curse at her, “Troublemaker, good-for-nothing, you’re better off dead!

Ye Ying broke out in cold sweat and held on to Sun Dongqing’s hand. She murmured, “Mom, I don’t want to offend Aunt’s family! We should push all the blame to Ye Jian!”

“There’s no need for you to tell me. I know what to do.” Sun Dongqing looked at her daughter with approval. Ye Ying was her parents’ darling. There was no mistake about that. “If she has the guts to ask us for living expenses, I will tell her directly that the money is for her grandparents. If she wants it, she can ask for it herself.”

“With your grandparents and the hate coming from your Aunt’s family, they will come back and beat her to death.”

Hearing that, Ye Ying was confused and frowned. “Hate? Why does Aunt’s family hate Ye Jian so much? I still remember that Ye Jian was almost beaten to death by Uncle when she was in eleventh grade. Also, why is Uncle’s right eye blind? I have never heard about it from you or Dad.”

In an instant, Sun Dongqing was fl.u.s.tered and brushed her hair nervously. “Stop asking so many questions as a kid. All you need to know is to not to offend your Aunt’s family. Let the two old people live outside and we shall both live peacefully.”

Ye Ying did not just let it go. She knew that things were not as simple as it seemed.

Her Aunt’s family did not return for years. They returned once when she was in eleventh grade. She vaguely remembered that they did so in the middle of the night. After staying for New Year’s Eve, they were gone on the night of New Year’s Day.

She did not notice anything when she was still small, but thinking about it now, it did seem abnormal.

There were still two days before school started and Ye Zhifan was driving in the night back to Shuikou Village.

He was back to pick up her daughter. He was there personally in the early hours to send Ye Ying to the Provincial No.1 Middle School to study.

That night, Ye Zhifan kept reminding his daughter to stay low-key and act appropriately when she was in the province.

He had inquired about the Provincial No.1 Middle School. The Province Head’s children were also studying at the Provincial No.1 Middle School. He was only a town mayor. If anything happened, do not expect him to come forward.

Ye Ying was not afraid, but Sun Dongqing was full of fear.

She stuttered, “How about we don’t send Yingying to study in the province? What if they are all bullies? We need to make a good decision for Yingying.” At this moment, Sun Dongqing realized that sending her to study in the province was not necessarily a good thing.

“Mom, stop saying all these things. I know how to get along with them.” Ye Ying pouted and then told Ye Zhifan, “Dad, tell me what you know, let me prepare myself mentally.”
