Chapter 464: The Truely Smart Person
If Yao Jian hadnât stepped forward and apologized to Ye Jian, Ye Jian would have laughed her words off and wouldnât have been too concerned about it.
However, she had deliberately stood forward to apologize, and did not even mention any words that were similar to her motherâs, like asking me for forgiveness or something. That only explained one thing, Yao Jingâs was much more shrewd and better at scheming.
She knew it very well that once she did something wrong, she should apologize immediately. She wouldnât allow a minor mistake cost her, and would not cause herself more trouble by trying to save a little at the cost of more.
The reason she stood up and apologized was that she knew that she was wrong, and sheâs not compelling Ye Jian to accept it. As long as she had apologized, even if Ye Jian was still angry, isnât it outrageous if she went looking for trouble against Yao Jing?
That wonât happen, Ye Jian wouldnât do that. If she had done that, then it would only seem that she was quite a petty person.
Take a look at Ye Ying, every one of her plans and schemes were straight and direct. As long as she thinks she stands a little bit of chance, sheâll jump into the fray and forget Ye Zifanâs warning immediately. She was utterly oblivious to the fact that there was still a need to make detailed arrangements even after grabbing hold of an opportunity.
Although she had got better at scheming after all these years. In the end, she had met her defeat because of her limited knowledge. Due to her familial environment, besides the fact that she can act proud for a short moment, after that, she would cause herself to be stuck in a hard place.
However, Yao Jing was different. With her standing forward and apologizing, at the very least, Principal Caoâs and Teacher Tongâs complexion had eased quite a bit.
Teacher Tong, who hadnât spoken the whole time, glanced at Ye Jian. She spoke with a hopeful tone: âSince Yao Jing has admitted her mistake of her own accord, and taking the fact that she hadnât known that your mother was a late war hero into consideration, you should forgive her this time.â
âYes yes, yes, student Ye Jian, although Yao Jingâs temper is usually quite big, she hadnât offended the parents of any student. Would you please forgive her just this once? Uncle and Aunty will guarantee things like this wouldnât happen ever again!â Yao Jingâs mother had a motherly heart. She felt bad because her daughterâs face was swollen from being slapped,but she had indeed made a mistake and said something that shouldnât be said. Thereâs no other way than to silently accept the slapping.
Political Commissar Yan took a glance at the girl who was apologizing while standing in the center. He let out a soft sigh and stood up, he walked beside Ye Jian and patted her shoulder and said with a heavy expression: âOur good lass, you should forgive her just this once. We all know that no matter how badly someone treats you, as long as they hadnât mentioned your parents, you would always treat them leniently and not argue about it with them.â
âThis kind of thing, Commander Liu and I both know that Yao Jing had indeed hurt you, but kid, you must remember this: the most hurtful weapon in this world is the âswordâ in oneâs mouth. You need to learn how to adequately protect yourself and put your mentality on a moderate level. That way, even if the âswordsâ were the sharpest and pointiest, they would never hurt you.â
Thatâs why they said kids without parents have a hard time moving forward. There are no adults to protect them, and they had to use their thin and frail body to withstand against the hurtful people and things. If the military didnât take care of her more, the life of this kid would be more tiresome than this.
Ye Jian, who sat down with her back straight, heard his words. She raised her head to look at Political Commissar Yan, who was concerned about her. She did not speak and only nodded gently, indicating that she had remembered his words in her heart.
Regimental Commander Liu was staring sharply at Yao Jingâs parents, and he bellowed: âLittle lass Jian mustâve suffered some heartache, so I do not think she will accept Vice Minister Yaoâs daughterâs apology anytime soon. You should allow for this lassâ heart to calm down. When she feels better, she will naturally accept your daughterâs apology.â
In the military, the political commissar and the regimental commander were used to acting good cop-bad cop. When the mother-daughter pair were coordinating with each other, both of them were also cooperating in tacit understanding.
