Ye Jian’s expression fluctuated a bit.
In the photo, the young man and woman were cuddling each other, wearing old-style military uniforms, with their heads resting on each other’s head, looking as if they were taking a wedding photo.
With a thought flashing in her mind, she chose to avoid it, chose not to think about it.
Impossible, impossible! It was definitely not what she thought in her mind!
Ye Jian, who had an uproar in her heart, suppressed the question, raised her head; her eyes were a little cold as she calmly asked, “Why would you think the woman in the photo is my mother?”
Her reaction was a little unusual. Li Jinnian, who was frowning, looked at Ye Jian with sharp eyes. When she took the photo just now, her reaction was not the same as how she was speaking to him now.
She was obviously shocked, but now she seemed to be calm.
Is she testing me? Or did she never want to know who her father is?
Thinking of her father’s name in her file, “Ye Xinfan,” written in the column, Li Jinnian couldn’t help looking gloomy, but he couldn’t blame Ye Jian. If his aunt didn’t tell him about Ye Jian’s life experience, he would not know that her biological father was someone else.
“Ye Jian, she is indeed your mother. Could it be that you don’t even know your own mother?” She didn’t even want to admit her mother? Li Jinnian suddenly realized that things were tricky. If he told the truth, she would definitely deny it entirely.
This was not the result he wanted!
The young woman in the photo was an aunt who had never been seen by his grandfather’s family, while the young man was his uncle who did not return to his grandfather’s house until he was ten years old.
Li Jinnian, who had a deep relationship with his ancestors, did not dare to tell the truth because he did not understand what Ye Jian was thinking. He was afraid that Ye Jian wouldn’t be able to accept it for a while; he was afraid that it would push her farther and farther.
“No, that’s impossible.” Ye Jian didn’t even want to hold the photo anymore. She quickly stuffed it back into Li Jinnian’s hands like a hot potato and said with a light smile, “Major Li, there is nothing strange in the world; it is normal for two people to look similar. I admit that the woman in the photo is indeed very similar to my mother, but she is not my mother. You are mistaken.”
“I believe you have read my files. I have my own parents, but they are all dead. So, Major Li, you have mistaken.”
Li Jinnian totally didn’t expect her reaction to be so calm. He suddenly felt like someone had poured cold water on his heart; he was calmer now.
He slowly put the photo back into his pocket. His careful gesture showed that he cherished the photo very much.
Her reaction was too big. It was not an unacceptable reaction but a disgusted reaction.
Why was she disgusted?
Even if she didn’t know the woman, she shouldn’t be disgusted.
He was reckless. He told her suddenly without investigating the matter clearly.
Originally, he wanted to talk to Xia Jinyuan first, but at the moment when he saw Ye Jian, he thought of his grandfather who could not go anywhere due to his old age and could only walk around the house; he thought of his grandmother, who passed away with regret; he thought of his mother who never forgot to tell him her last words before she passed away. No matter how calm he was, it was inevitable that he had certain emotional fluctuations.
He went to his grandfather’s house last night and played a game of chess with him. The old man, who had calmly faced various physical and mental shocks in the past, sighed at him, “The light of mulberry and elm is not far-reaching. I hope that the sun will keep up with the times.” And somehow, it made him sad that moment.
Blocking Ye Jian, who was about to go back to the ward, Li Jinnian calmly said, “Ye Jian, would you please listen to a story? A story from a long time ago. After listening, then only you go, please?”
