As she spoke, she raised her hand and pressed the corner of her eye. Teacher Tong saw the elderly lady with a good temperament using a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears.

She then looked at the elderly ladyâs outfit; there was no trace of wrinkles, the corner of her sleeves was embroidered with delicate flowers, her bottom was a navy blue pleated long skirt that barely exposed her toes. When looking down, Teacher Tong noticed the elderly lady was wearing embroidered shoes; from a glance, her temperament was akin to a wealthy person.
Such a rich grandmother coming to the gatesâ¦â¦ Teacher Tongâs heart had a slight pause; she said politely: âYouâre too polite. Based on what I know, Ye Jian1 is an orphan, she was fostered at Mr. Yeâs house before her second year in middle school. You said youâre her grandmother, Iâm sorry old lady, Iâve never heard of it.â
â Teacher Tong, can we talk in school? Some things canât be fully explained while standing,â Old Granny Ye could tell the teacher was protecting Ye Jian. Itâs fine, that damn girl had good grades; teachers would protect good students.
Ye Zifan spoke, âTeacher Tong, the elderly misses her granddaughter, she came from so far away just to see Ye Jian. If you think thereâs a problem, I can ask first to gain some understanding, verifying whether my mother is Ye Jianâs grandmother. What do you think?â
He even wanted to verify that the other party was his studentâs grandmother. Teacher Tong couldnât help but smile, âMr. Yeâs words are too serious, I donât need to verify anything, just some routine understanding. Iâm our responsibility as teachers to protect the safety of our students.â
There was no way to believe that a grandmother with such temperament would suddenly appear. How could she not be suspicious?
â Teacher Tong, are you afraid that we would kidnap Ye Jian? My mother and I traveled for more than ten hours just to see Ye Jian. Why? Does a teacher have the right to stop a grandmother from seeing her granddaughter? Youâre too involved.â
Ye Zhixiangâs tone was particularly aggressive, causing Teacher Tong to say solemnly: âThis lady, I am a teacher, I have my own responsibilities. Please be more polite, thank you.â
Being softly refuted by a teacher, Ye Zhixiangâs countenance interchanged between red and white. If Old Granny Ye hadnât spoken, she would have gotten serious with Teacher Tong.
â Teacher Tong, Iâve been waiting outside for half an hour, you having doubts prove your morality of a teacher and really care about my granddaughter,â Old Granny Ye used the silk handkerchief in her hand to wipe her tears again, her voice choked: âThis child had a bitter life, itâs all thanks to you, a good person to care for her, allowing her to grow up smoothly.â
â This old lady thanks you, thank you for taking care of my granddaughter. Thank you, thank youâ¦â¦â
An elderly apologizing and crying in front of you, she even kept thanking from time to time; although Teacher Tong was wary in her heart, she finally invited the three of them to the office.
âYe Jian still has exams later, itâs not convenient to bring you all to meet her. Weâll head to the principalâs office to have a seat first, Iâll send her over after her exam,â Teacher Tong had always been cautious about Ye Jianâs affairs. An old lady suddenly appeared; she was even brought by Ye Yingâs fatherâ¦â¦ Teacher Tong felt uncomfortable when she recalled how Ye Ying treated Ye Jian in school in the past.
She had to inform Principal Cao and let him come to entertain them.
Principal Cao was also surprised about Old Granny Ye; he was never informed that Ye Jian had a grandmother. He secretly said to Teacher Tong while pouring the water: âGo and call Old Chen over, tell him Ye Jianâs grandmother is here.â
