Chapter 1151 - Who Is Ye Jian’s Biological Father

Ye Zhifan appeared calm in front of Grandma Ye’s regret.

More than ten years had passed. This issue made him so angry in the past that he felt like murdering someone. But, now, he had sorted out his thoughts. His daughter was good at studying and was a positive and motivated person. If he really gave birth to a son, he might not be as good as his daughter now.

He just mentioned this issue because he wanted to stimulate Grandma Ye.

Grandma Ye didn’t know that he just wanted to stimulate her purposely. To get more help for her daughter in the future, she had to suppress her anger no matter how furious she was.

“It was my fault in the past. Zhifan, if you want to blame someone, blame me. It has nothing to do with your sister. I know my mistake. I can only try my best to compensate you. If you can’t forget about it, blame me instead.”

This was an ungrateful soul that wouldn’t get close to her no matter what. When she needed a favor from him, he started to put on airs. She had to bear with it. She needed to bear with it!

Who knew that this child she carried home from the branch family will go so far in his career?

“Look at what you’re saying. You’re my mother. How can I blame you? Fine, let’s not talk about what happened in the past.” Ye Zhifan knew where his boundaries were so he stopped the topic. Grandma Ye said that she could only compensate him now. Her intention was clear.

That year, when he knew that his wife had done the sterilization operation, he went to look for Grandma Ye the moment he came back that night. That day, many things happened.

That was the night he knew that he was not Grandma Ye’s biological son. Her reason for not wanting his wife to bear a second child was simple. She didn’t want a daughter-in-law that was not related to her by blood to give birth to a baby boy.

To suppress this matter, Grandma Ye suggested splitting Sun Xueqing’s pension into two. One for him and the other for Ye Zhixiang. As for the piece of jade, she would pretend that she didn’t see it and leave the village with Ye Zhixiang. She wouldn’t interfere in any of his matters, including the election for official positions in the village. She wouldn’t care about it anymore.

As for him, he would stop faulting her and would stop having any ideas of giving birth to a baby boy. At the same time, he would take care of Ye Jian using the piece of jade as trade. He could give her food but he mustn’t let her have any future!

After so many years passed, the only thing that went wrong was stopping Ye Jian from having a good future.

However, there was one more thing he didn’t ask clearly that year. Ye Zhifan thought for a moment and asked directly, “Elder Brother[1] isn’t Uncle’s son, right? Where did you send Uncle’s son to?”

This question caused Grandma Ye’s expression to turn dark immediately. “Zhifan, this isn’t part of our transaction! Your Uncle’s son is Ye Jian’s father. He died when he was outside!”

Her reaction was a little exaggerated… Ye Zhifan lowered his gaze and smiled as he continued, “Don’t get angry. I heard that intelligence is hereditary so I thought of asking since Ye Jian is so good at studying.”

“Elder Brother isn’t smart. Sister-in-law is smart but she isn’t as smart as Ye Jian. Also, don’t you find it strange that Ye Jian doesn’t look like Elder Brother at all? She looks 60% like Sister-in-law. As for the other 40%, I don’t know who she looks like.”

Grandma Ye’s expression wasn’t just dark. There was a hint of eeriness in it too. “Before I left the village, I reminded you many times that you must watch over that wicked girl carefully. You can’t let her succeed in anything!”

As she spoke, she gritted her teeth with contempt in her expression. “Your sister-in-law became pregnant less than a month after she married your brother. Then, she had a premature birth. It was obvious that she got pregnant before getting married. She married into the family with other people’s child.”

[1] By ‘elder brother’, it can also mean the elder child of that generation.
