At this moment, Ye Zhifan looked at her too. Ye Jian started smiling when she saw this. Her cold gaze seemed to be smiling too. With the town mayor around, any major issues could be solved.
The gentle smile made Ye Zhifan’s heart jump. Her smile was too calm. It seemed resolute. Ye Zhifan felt that his niece saw through the silent communication between him and his daughter. She knew that Ye Ying was just acting.
His niece was not someone easy to deal with. He underestimated her last time!
A malicious intent flashed passed his eyes. He smiled coldly and walked towards Ye Jian. He didn’t evade her gaze. “Niece, the situation is getting out of hand now. As an older sister, say something.”
An Jiaxin stared at them intently. When she heard what Ye Zhifan said, she looked at Ye Jian worriedly.
Ye Jian comforted her with a gaze. Then, she stood up and looked indifferently at her sly uncle. She smiled. “This is your family matter. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Family matter?” Town Mayor Ye looked as though he didn’t understand what Ye Jian said. He frowned. After a while, he smiled. “Ye Jian, you are my family too. My family matter is your family matter.”
Normally, he would not battle with a 15 years old child personally.
However, Ye Jian was getting tougher to deal with. He had to appear.
Ye Jian started frowning too. She looked at Ye Zhifan with a confused look. “I remember that my family and Town Mayor Ye’s family split in the past. According to tradition, when two families split, they are considered two different families. That means that I’m not your family member.”
“Look, the people who created a fuss are your wife and your daughter. What does it have to do with me? You are indeed someone of a high-rank. Your patience is amazing. Your daughter is looking for death and you can’t stop your wife. Yet, you are making things difficult for an outsider like me. I respect you.”
What a smart girl! No wonder Ye Ying always complained that she got bullied. No wonder… Sun Dongqing couldn’t subdue her!
Ye Zhifan turned more serious. He didn’t dare to underestimate his niece anymore. He felt that she seemed like a stranger now. He calmed his emotions and said unhappily, “You can write ‘Ye’ with one stroke. You are my niece. Your Aunt is your direct relative. Even though we split up, blood ties can’t be broken!”
“You are going too far ahead. One stroke can’t write ‘Ye’. Everyone who had this surname belonged to the same family hundreds of years ago. However, there is a difference between distant and close relationships. Unfortunately, Town Mayor Ye has a distant relationship with me.”
“Don’t tell me that you raised me and I spent your family’s money. Although I was only two years old when I went to live with you, I remember that the town government gave you some money to raise me because I’m the child of a sacrificed soldier. The land given to me were passed to you so that you could take care of them for me first.”
“There was a Dragon Jade among the things my mother left behind. When the people from town came, they said that the jade was an old jade. It can fetch a high price! I remember everything. Don’t try to deceive me.”
…
Deceive? She said everything clearly. How could he deceive her?
Ye Zhifan was astounded. His breathing got heavier. That year, when the people from the government came and passed him the money and the Dragon Jade, there was no one in the room!
