Since Secretary Wu said to talk the next time they meet, Ye Zhifan took the hint and smiled. “Alright, you must have come down here for an urgent matter on such a hot day. I will not hold you back any longer. Let’s grab a drink when you are free.”

After watching Secretary Wu get on the car, Ye Zhifan’s smiling face pulled down and glared at his wife. He said to Ye Ying harshly, “Keep a close eye on your mom! I will deal with her after I come back!”

It was almost time for the meeting, so he had to head back.

Ye Ying had always been afraid of him, so she timidly nodded as cold sweat ran down her back.

Ye Zhifan was hardly in the mood for the meeting, for he had been holding down a fit of inextinguishable anger at the thought of his fatuous wife.

Ye Jian, the girl whom his wife repeatedly referred to as the wicked girl, had won medals from overseas!

Even the People’s Daily posted a photo and specifically captioned the names of the medalists in black font words!

Ye Jian was one of the gold medalists and her performance was described as ‘pulling the tide’.

Will she ever dare to mention Yingying’s grades and achievements to others again?!

Will she ever dare to feel good about herself by stomping on Ye Jian again?!

Originally, he was going to scold his wife as soon as he got back home. However, he received a call asking him to go to the city instead.

After anxiously waiting for half a year, he finally received the promotion to become the Town Mayor. But first, he needed to report to the city and train for half a month before returning home at the same time when school resumes.

This career breakthrough temporarily distracted his anger as he packed his luggage and headed to the city.

In Shuikou Village, Grandpa Gen and Principal Chen returned from fishing with big smiles on their faces. Not only had they heard of Ye Jian’s performance before Ye Zhifan did, but they also heard of the kidnapping incident.

Though worried about the dangers involved, the two elders were pleasantly delighted to know that Ye Jian’s contributions and merits will be recorded on her military file.

“The girl is bold and attentive. If she puts her heart on something and gives it her all, nothing will stand in her way!” Grandpa Gen laughed as he cleaned the grass carp he has caught earlier in the morning. Even the wrinkles on his face folded into smiling flowers. “My heart is at ease now.”

Since Principal Chen returned from the province, he had been living a leisure life with Grandpa Gen in Shuikou Village, where he only visited the army once in a week.

Principal Chen’s wrinkled face also smiled as he commented. “Though the four-year plan sounds like a long time, half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. She is really just with us for one more year and the rest will only be summer and winter vacation.”

There was no high school in the town; but if there was one, she would’ve done well given her talents.

Sharp and assiduous, she would have done well wherever she went.

“As she grows older, she will eventually soar higher. She will see farther as she flies higher. As long as she remembers to visit us occasionally, I won’t chain her to this place.” Grandpa Gen laughed. “Although our time with her is limited, we shall teach her sternly and she will study assiduously. Eventually, she will get into a good school.”

He cleaned the fish after it was scaled and its internal organs were removed. Braised fish was set for lunch.
