Oh right, the girl is pretty, while also a student of a renowned Military Academy, the guy’s impression and even his demeanor were amongst the best. His rank was also at the very least a Lieutenant Colonel or Major; it can’t be left unsaid that Ye Jian’s taste in men was actually decent.
However, he wasn’t afraid of someone with the title of Lieutenant Colonel or Major; what he dreaded more was the military connections behind him!
Realizing that, Ye Zhifan immediately pulled back the chill on his face; Ye Jian, who watched everything, couldn’t help but chuckle. See, now Ye Zhifan must be guessing Captain Xia’s identity. Then he’ll realize something, and quickly add another layer onto his pretentiousness, to prevent from doing something that would leave behind a wrong impression.
“Mister Ye, the person that my grandfather didn’t want to see the most was you because the respected elder knew you were someone who wouldn’t go out of his way if there was nothing to gain.” Ye Jian spoke indifferently, with only one sentence, she had made Ye Zhifan’s complexion change drastically, “The reason why Mister Ye suddenly made an appearance during my grandfather’s funeral, with 100% certainty is aimed at something to ‘gain.’”
“As to what you could ‘gain’…” Against Ye Zhifan’s cold and heavy gaze, Ye Jian lightly swept a look at … Ye Ying, who was currently only staring at Xia Jinyuan, “To think you want to send Ye Ying into the Beijing Political Party, seems like Mister Ye’s appetite is quite large.”
Xia Jinyuan loved Ye Jian’s heavy-handedness towards her enemies. Hearing that, his thin lips shallowly arched upwards, the smile he revealed was three parts lazy and seven parts regal, which made Ye Ying, who was staring at him the whole time to have her complexion change drastically multiple times out of shock.
The young man by the d*mned lass’ side… she’s seen him before, she’s seen him while she was still in First Provincial High!
Yao Jing, that’s right, the person who discovered this man first was Yao Jing, she even instigated her to go and get the contact info of this guy, but in the end, before she even said anything, she was already ignored by him!
She only felt embarrassed at the time, but she still had to appease Yao Jing, so she could only pretend she didn’t care.
It has been about two years since then, when she saw the young man who had made her embarrassed once again, Ye Ying’s complexion shifted between green and white every few moments, it was quite the show!
So the reason this man came to the school that year was to look for Ye Jian!
While Ye Jian was talking, Ye Ying was also quietly talking, “Dad, this man must be someone well acquainted with Ye Jian; I’ve seen him when I was in Grade 11.” Ye Ying always remembered the people who had embarrassed her clearly, “He came to First Provincial High to look for Ye Jian, I’m not mistaken, it must be him.”
“You’ve seen him before?” Ye Zhifan’s eyes glimmered as he listened to both sides; he first asked his daughter, “When you saw him, was he weaning uniform or in casual clothes.”
“Casual clothes.” Ye Ying’s gaze glanced at Xia Jinyuan while she replied quietly, “I’ve only seen him once, and after that, I’ve never seen him again. Dad, the relationship between the two of them isn’t simple.”
Not wearing a military uniform,… he didn’t even wear his military uniform during Old Uncle’s funeral, could it be that he had guessed wrong, and this man wasn’t a soldier at all. Instead, he was just a rich kid from an affluent family?
No, that’s not right; the average rich kid doesn’t have the aura he was emitting; this aura was hard to describe; his intuition was telling him this person was definitely not simple.
He accompanied Ye Jian while they sent Old Uncle Gen off, he even stayed by Ye Jian’s side the entire memorial service, plus he also accompanied her during the funeral; the relationship between the two was very likely already approved by Old Uncle.
Lovers?
Relatives?
Or… somebody else?
Ye Zhifan clenched his fists tighter, this man definitely has a background, and his background would not be average! Investigate, he must figure it out; only by investigating everything could he rest assured.
“Ye Jian, at any rate, I’m still your uncle, you’re acting so unfilial in front of your friend, aren’t you afraid he’ll ridicule you, aren’t you worried that the family members of your friend wouldn’t accept you?” The investigation will definitely happen, but he also needed to test the waters first!”
