Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

After saying that, he stood up and lowered his eyes a little. His gaze was cold as he stared at the old lady. ”I still have things to do in the afternoon so I won’t be able to accompany you. Goodbye.’

A sharp gaze flashed past Grandma Ye’s dull eyes. The nerves on her sagging face twitched slightly. Her double chin started shaking too. This time, Grandma Ye was really angry.

”Stop right there!” She stood up and glared at this son of hers whom she brought back from outside. She fooled her husband and told him that she gave birth to this child but in fact, he wasn’t her real child. She groaned, ”You don’t have the right to talk back to me! If it wasn’t for me, you might be a beggar at who knows which corner of the world!”

If it wasn’t biological, they wouldn’t be able to get familiar to them. Grandpa Ye had said this before.

Ye Zhifan sniggered in reply. ”You don’t have to worry where I’ll be begging at. That’s right, I’m not blood-related to you but I’m still related to the Ye family. If not, why didn’t Dad notice that I wasn’t his son in the past?”

”You might be able to threaten me with this matter in the past because I needed to undergo political screening. But now, do you think you still can do it?”

Since she tore the last piece of blanket covering their secrets, Ye Zhifan didn’t care about her feelings anymore. ”If I treat you as my mom, you’re my mom. If I don’t acknowledge you as my real mother, you can’t do anything to me either.”

”Mom, you’re old. You’re almost 70 years old so why are you still acting so lawlessly outside? You should enjoy your retirement with Sister. Don’t interfere too much with your children and grandchildren’s matters.”

”It looks like you don’t want that piece of jade anymore.” Grandma Ye Jian was so furious her heart started hurting. Thus, she used her trump card. She threatened in a cold voice, ”That was the piece of jade Sun Xueqing gave Ye Jian. How can you be so shameless as an uncle and keep it from her?”

Unfilial bastard. Was this how he repays her after she raised him for such a long time? She might not be his real mother but she gave him food to eat and raised him!

Ye Zhifan had already guessed everything last night so he wouldn’t give in to her threats. He smiled ambiguously at Grandma Ye who was really infuriated and said slowly, ”Mom, you shouldn’t worry about this. Sister even took that small amount of pension Sister-in-law had. At least, Ye Jian knows that I was the one who took the piece of jade.”

”Oh, I forgot to tell you that Ye Jian even remembered what happened when she was three years old. Do you think she’ll remember that you and Sister took Sister-in-law’s pension?”

Ye Zhifan had already arranged his thoughts carefully yesterday. The identity of the person helping Ye Jian wasn’t revealed yet so he shouldn’t provoke her for now.

That meant that his family could only bear with everything and wait for his status to stabilize first. Once his daughter achieved success too, they could take care of Ye Jian again.

The piece of jade allowed him to rise rapidly in his career. Ye Jian can forget about taking it away from him.

After he finished speaking, Ye Zhifan tidied his attire and left. Before he left, he remembered to ask Grandma Ye to have a good rest.

This time, Grandma Ye lost to her adopted son for the first time. This was because she thought that she still had control over everything. She didn’t know that Ye Zhifan was just a wolf in sheep’s clothing in the past. Now, with his status, he didn’t have to be frightened of Grandma Ye anymore.

If Grandma Ye still wanted to use him to settle her biological daughter’s family’s business, she had to swallow her anger… even if she didn’t want to.

In terms of scheming, as someone who was able to climb to his position today, how could Ye Zhifan be weaker than Grandma Ye?
