Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Mother Yang was fed up but she didn’t show it on her face. She just looked at her old neighbor whom she has known for more than ten years calmly. ”Yao Jing is not young anymore! Little Ye is right. You always said that Yao Jing is immature but what about Ye Jian, the girl that you said was cunning?”

”Is she an adult? Is she older than Yao Jing? Why does she have to be mature, give in to Yao Jing, and let your Yao Jing bully? You don’t have to say anything or try to explain yourself. We have been neighbors for ten years. I don’t want us to become enemies.”

”Yao Jing is not young anymore! I can’t accept anything she did! She’s vicious and has no sympathy. She doesn’t take responsibility for what she does. This kind of child might be immature in your eyes but in mine, I’m sorry, I will never accept this kind of daughter-in-law!”

Mother Yang’s words were the real blades. They stabbed right into Mother Yao’s heart and her vision turned black. ”Huiying, we are not saints. We all make mistakes. How can you…”

”Four years ago, she made a mistake. Now, she’s still making mistakes. Shuhe, if you continue speaking, the ties between our families will really be broken.” Mother Yang pulled Ye Jian behind her and protected her from Mother Yao’s sharp gaze. ”I will protect Little Ye from now on.

Coincidentally, I have always found it a pity that I don’t have a daughter and she’s only one year younger than Yang Heng. I like her very much. As for Yao Jing, it’s better for her to interact lesser with Yang Heng from now on in case other people misunderstand.”

…

Mother Yao felt suffocated. Her breathing got short and rapid and she was making loud noises as she breathed. What did Huiying mean? What was Huiying trying to tell her?

She likes Ye Jian? She only met Ye Jian tonight and she likes her?

She even said that she felt pity for not having a daughter. What did that mean? She didn’t have a daughter so she was taking Ye Jian as her daughter-in-law?

How could she act so rashly? They have only known each other for a few hours and she likes her? Didn’t she say that she wasn’t in a hurry? Why was she acting so quickly now? No, she can’t let this happen! The Yang family was the family she, Li Shuhe, laid her eyes on.

She knew them entirely and knew that they were all good-tempered people. With Jingjing’s capabilities, she could definitely take care of them!

She mustn’t let the Yang family fall into Ye Jian’s hand. No way!

Mother Yang’s words stepped directly on Mother Yao’s tense nerves. She shot a glance at her husband and wiped her tears. Then, she said in a soft tone, ”Huiying, I must have angered you so much that you said such rash words.”

”Fine, fine, fine. It’s my fault. I’ll apologize to you. You…” She kept glancing at Deputy Commissioner Yao who didn’t make any noises because he was afraid that Yang Heng would reveal Yao Jing’s secrets again. She signaled to him to think of a way to calm the Yang family down.

Deputy Commissioner Yao didn’t say anything. As a deputy, how could he talk back to the child of his old friend? If he let his wife and his daughter do the talking, he could at least protect some of his dignity.

Not only did he have to protect his dignity, he still needed to ask Old Yang to take care of the situation and reconcile the parties concerned. Every single thing his daughter did wasn’t glamorous. If it was leaked, other people would point fingers at her and look down on her.

He accepted his wife’s signal and glanced at the five clear finger marks on his daughter’s face. Then, he pointed to the sofa in the lobby and sighed. ”Old Yang, let’s go over there and have a chat. Sigh, this matter, this matter, I really regret not watching Yao Jing properly!”

Now, it wasn’t a matter of bickering anymore. He needed to think of a way to get his daughter out of this situation and hope that Ye Jian would let his daughter go because of the Yang family. This was the most important thing!
