On the other side, Xia Jinyuan took a cup of warm water from the housekeeper and handed it to Li Jinnian, “Here, let the old Sir have some water, relax and talk again.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t go anywhere today. I will always be here with you.” Ye Jian was also frightened. One with a blood clot in the brain or cerebral thrombosis should avoid getting too emotional. Before drying her tears, she hurriedly said something that would relieve the old man, “You drink water first, then ask me slowly, don’t worry, I’ll tell you everything slowly.”
The Fu Family had always been looking for Martyr Sun Xueqing, but they did not know that she had given birth to a daughter for Fu Yusheng. Now Ye Jian, who resembled Martyr Sun Xueqing, suddenly appeared, and Sir Fu, who had always been calm, was so excited that his mood fluctuated considerably.
Ye Jian waited for the old gentleman to become more emotionally stable, then replied softly, “My name is Ye Jian. I am 20 years old this year. I am a freshman in the NUTD. My life has been well, no suffering.”
“I also know that you have been looking for my mother and have never given up. Thank you for thinking about us all the time. Thank you so much.” Ye Jian, with sincere eyes, said softly, trying to make the old gentleman calm after listening to her.
The old man didn’t believe it. He held his granddaughter’s hand tightly in tears, his expression sinking like a heavy stone, “How can it be that you did not suffer at all? How can it be.”
“Your mother was pregnant with you. In those old days, it was a big deal for a woman to be pregnant if she was unmarried. And yet she still gave birth to you… I’m sorry, I’m too late; I’ve caused you two to suffer. Our Fu Family has treated you two badly.”
The old man blamed himself very much. He was worthy of the world in his entire life, and he had a clear conscience for the country. The only thing that made him feel uneasy all day and night was his deep shame he had given to his son’s fiancée.
An innocent girl followed his son, and just when she thought she was about to get the marriage certificate, his son was suddenly recalled for a one-year confinement check. The family did not receive any news. When she knew about this matter, it was already a matter of trouble.
Unexpectedly, she was even pregnant at that time. In those old days, unmarried and pregnant women would be finger pointed and scolded by people. During those old days, his daughter-in-law still gave birth to a child. This showed how strong she was!
This child was like her mother, young and tenacious, her back was even more straight, and she had a strong arrogance.
Her kind of arrogance was not something ordinary people could have. Only after having suffered countless hardships, facing them bravely again and again, and defeating them, again and again, could she have that kind of arrogance.
In order to make him feel at ease, his granddaughter was comforting him…she was only comforting him.
Ye Jian was also very sad, but she was even more relieved. With tears in her eyes, she kept comforting the old man who was blaming himself deeply, “Don’t blame yourself, you have tried your best to find my mother, but, my mother’s name is not called “Hong Mei,” that’s why you can’t find her.”
Facing the old man who was blaming himself so much that his hands were trembling, Ye Jian did not dare to mention that her mother had sacrificed. She quickly changed the topic and talked about herself, “I’ve also been living well, really well. I got into the school that I like, and I’m doing the work that I love. I’m really living very well, please don’t be too sad.”
How could he not be sad? His only granddaughter that the Fu Family knew nothing about at all had suddenly appeared, and the Fu Family had made her suffer so much and made her taste so much bitterness; how could he not be sad?
