He was also afraid that Ye Jian would keep crying. It was not a good thing to cry too much.
Xia Jinyuan, who cared about his lover, comforted softer and softer, “Just now Devil King was waiting for you to call him “Brother”, but instead you cried with the old gentleman. You can’t be like this. Crying too much will hurt your body, you’re young so you’re fine, but the old gentleman is old already.”
“Now that you have a grandfather and a home, I think you are also looking forward to your grandfather’s longevity, right.” The last sentence was the most effective because it made Ye Jian’s turbulent tears stop immediately.
He coaxed and persuaded Ye Jian, who had been crying until her breathing was unstable. The urge to cry in her heart gradually faded. Her face gradually became calm after she stopped crying.
Today she cried…a bit too much, yeah, a bit too much, and she cried easily like there was no way to control it. When the sadness touched her heartstrings, the tears “rushed” out like an opened faucet.
Obviously she had cried out all her grievances, but why did she just start crying again, like a child.
She wiped the tears on her face. Seeing that her eyes were already swollen, and her breath was still unstable, Xia Jinyuan, who was coaxing her, patted her back with distress, and conveniently passed her a cup of warm water on the coffee table, “Here, drink some before talking to the old man. Look at Li Jinnian, he is eagerly waiting for you to call him “Brother”.”
“In the troop, he is the Devil King, the Major of the soldiers, but at home, he is your relative, your brother, so why can’t you call him your brother? To me, it wouldn’t be a loss for you in the future if you recognize him as your brother. Next time, you have one more person to protect you, to love you, isn’t that a good thing?”
The old gentleman who had been persuaded wiped the corners of his eyes with a square handkerchief he had been carrying around. Upon hearing the young man whom he had never known, talking like this, he couldn’t help watching him.
The young man had been with them quietly but he hadn’t paid attention to his words since he entered the house. He opened his mouth to talk now, and all he said was good things for the Fu Family. The old gentleman looked at his granddaughter who was also willing to listen to the man’s persuasion. He could easily notice that the relationship between the two was special.
The old man gave Xia Jinyuan a grateful look. Although he didn’t say anything, it was enough to make Xia Jinyuan happy, indicating that the first impression he left on the old man was still good.
Xia Jinyuan valued Ye Jian, and naturally also valued Ye Jian’s family.
Li Jinnian, who advised the old gentleman, felt a little anxious at this time. The term “brother” was also quite unfamiliar to him. Although he was the grandson of the Li Family, and he had several younger brothers and sisters, he had been estranged since young so he didn’t develop any deep relationship with them.
He didn’t expect to be close to the sons and daughters of his stepmother. He only hoped they didn’t do any harm to him. He totally didn’t expect them to call him “brother”. The sons and daughters raised by the Li Family followed the innate and cold blood of the Li Family.
Grandpa Li could hold all the family’s property in his hands today, because his hands were stained with the lives of a few brothers. According to Grandpa Li, he was not considered to be a member of the Li Family, he was merely the “dog” for the Li Family for a lifetime.
The Li Family was born as a warlord. Their great-grandfather married a total of twelve concubines. Today, except for the children borned by the first wife of the main house, the other sixteen children were from the other twelve concubines. In the end, only the first wife lived a good life, and she was his step-mother.
“Natural selection, survival of the fittest” was the ancestor motto of the Li Family. Whoever survived could be qualified to become the next heir of the Li Family. Grandpa Li had lived on the bones of his family to this day.
