Ye Zhixiang was even more scared than Grandma Ye, especially when Ye Jian inched closer with every sentence she spoke while carrying the photos. Ye Zhixiang got so frightened she scread instantly. "Take it away! Take it away! Ye Jian, you wicked girl, take the photo away! Take it away!"
She was screaming hysterically. You could tell how fearful she was.
"Ms. Ye, what are you afraid of? Weren't you acting all high and mighty when you scolded my dad in the past? Now that he's not around, why are you afraid of his photo?" There was no expression on Ye Jian's face. It was cold and icy. "You are scared of a photo.
Ms. Ye, what do you want to prove?"
Ye Zhixiang, who was dressed in red, was no longer as arrogant as she was when she was outside the school gates. Her hair was in a ss and she didn't dare to look at Ye Jian. She automatically disregarded everything Ye Jian said and kept hiding behind Grandma Ye.
Principal Chen and Principal Cao were astounded. They looked at Mrs. Tong simultaneously.
The black backpack was given to Ye Jian by Mrs. Tong… Why did Mrs. Tong agree to let Ye Jian use this astonishing thod?
"Don't look at like this. I… sigh." As a teacher, she wouldn't agree to it. However, this was a huge issue. If this could really protect Ye Jian from being threatened or hard, she felt that Ye Jian's parents would be willing to do it for their daughter.
She explained how she t Ye Jian outside the principal's room and how Ye Jian managed to convince her to take her parents' photo in a few sentences. She felt heartache for Ye Jian as she whispered, "I'm a parent too. How can I watch my daughter's future get ruined in front of my eyes?"
"I agreed to her. From a mother's point of view, I agreed to Ye Jian's request."
Principal Chen felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He said in his deep voice, "Thank you, Mrs. Tong." She believed Ye Jian unconditionally because she treated and loved Ye Jian like her own child.
"You're being too polite. Protecting our students is the responsibility of a teacher." Mrs. Tong shook her head slightly and looked at the three people who got stupified by Ye Jian. She lowered her voice and asked, "Do you think we need to act?"
"No, let Ye Jian handle it." Principal Chen rejected her suggestion without any hesitation. Jian wouldn't do sothing for no reason. She wouldn't take out her parents' photo abruptly too.
Her gaze was cold but there was sorrow in her eyes. The emotions were so overwhelming they couldn't disperse easily.
There must be a reason for her to do this. Before they understood her intention, they should keep quiet.
The atmosphere in the office beca extrely tense. It was like explosives placed in a room with a high temperature. Everyone's nerves were tensed up.
Ye Zhixiang was still screaming. A woman's scream was already shrill and she was frightened. Thus, her scream was high enough to pierce through everyone's eardrums.
At first, Grandma Ye wasn't so afraid when Ye Jian suddenly took out the photos of her parents. But, she got affected by Ye Zhixiang's screams and her heart started beating furiously.
Then, her gaze landed on one of the black and white photos. Grandma Ye looked at the young man in the photo. As she looked at him, she felt goosebumps on her head.
That wicked girl… was right. Ye Xinfan wasn't her son! She had never treated Ye Xinfan as her son before!
He was a beggar she brought back from the streets. If she didn't bring Ye Xinfan back that year in desperation, he might have died of hunger! She was already kind enough to bring him back and fill his stomach!
