Chapter 156 - 155: Best Substitute (17) - Third Update
Ye’s mother had always harbored a profound fear of the Zhao Family.
Having grown up in the countryside, she was vague about the concept of wealthy people, but from the descriptions given by Zhao’s mother about Zhao Yijun, she knew that Zhao Yijun was outstanding—plus, there was the grudge from years before.
The Zhao Family had become an invincible nightmare in her mind; Old Master Zhao had always looked down on her, she was aware of this.
But Ye’s mother absolutely couldn’t allow Ye Shaohua to be humiliated by them as well. Her daughter had been raised so wonderfully. Yes, she wasn’t on par with Zhao Yijun, but when she went to the Underworld, she would still have the face to explain things to Zhao Yan.
However, if they didn’t leave Imperial City now, and her own matters were brought to light by the Zhao Family, Shaohua would never wipe this stain from her life.
She absolutely couldn’t let Shaohua carry this burden, she must leave.
"The Zhao Family?" When Ye Shaohua heard this, she let out a cold laugh, then took the bag from her mother’s hand, and looking down, she gazed steadily at her, "Mom, you just stay here peacefully. Don’t worry about the Zhao Family, I have a plan. If they dare do anything to you, I’ll make them regret it."
Ye Shaohua’s calm demeanor made her mother even more inclined to cry, "Shaohua, I’m not joking. That’s the Zhao Family we are talking about. They even know some high-ranking officials; there’s no way we can fight them. Will you please listen to me?"
She was also afraid Ye Shaohua didn’t grasp the extent of the Zhao Family’s influence, and listed several examples.
"The way you were slandered online, Mom has thought it through—it must have been Zhao Yijun’s doing, but what can we, commoners, do against those people?" Ye’s mother’s face was full of sorrow.
