Commander-in-Chief Xia, whose expression became more serious, made the arrangements, “Since you can walk around with a waist injury, you should take Little Ye to the airport tomorrow and drop by to the old house and talk to your grandpa about this.” He also worried that Xia Jinyuan’s healing wound would open again, so he added, “Let the guard drive tomorrow, you rest.”
Seeing this, Xia Jinyuan laughed blankly, “You are more anxious than me.”
“Of course I’m anxious. Someone as naughty as you get to marry someone so outstanding like Little Ye, this is your big luck! You gotta strike while the iron is hot; let the old man be satisfied with our family.” Commander-in-Chief Xia discussed the matter seriously, but when he saw how content and relaxed Xia Jinyuan was, his face darkened again.
“Xia Jinyuan, I am very serious now about discussing your life-long events with you; you better pay attention to me.”
“Dad, do you think my life-long relationship with Ye Jian still needs to rely on family relationships?” Seeing the Commander-in-Chief faintly angry, Xia Jinyuan took a step back with a narrow smile, revealing a rare coldness, “In your eyes, am I really a man who needs to rely on his family to solve major events in my life?”
“Dad, don’t you think you’re looking down on your son too much?”
He asked the last sentence a little coldly as if it was covered with icy scum.
Commander-in-Chief Xia choked; he had never underestimated his son, Old Six! Although this kid liked to joke, he was very assertive, and he could do bad things to the point that no one could control him. The old grandpa also once joked, “Old Six is someone who does big business; he can hold back his anger.”
And facts had proven that that child could indeed do big businesses. He got admitted into the military academy by himself; he did not get into it through connections. When he joined the special force, he took the initiative to apply, and he became the Commander after a few years. He had done countless things on his own with uprightness and a clear conscience.
However, no matter how capable that child was, he was still the same pitiful child in his heart.
For some reason, the Commander-in-Chief accidentally said all these out loud, although he was supposed to only say it to himself in his heart. Suddenly, there was silence in the living room. The father and son looked at each other and felt… embarrassed.
Commander-in-Chief Xia, who had seen the wind and waves, was the first to regain his senses. Seeing Xia Jinyuan’s surprised expression, he coughed and shouted directly, “What, is it wrong that I still think you are my little son?”
“Cough…cough… yes yes yes, I am your son, you are not wrong.” Xia Jinyuan choked, but he was smiling silently. It was rare to see his old man embarrassed. The more Xia Jinyuan wanted to laugh, perhaps the longer Commander-in-Chief would keep a straight face. He suppressed his anger so much that even the guards were feeling extra pressure.
Besides smiling, there was a hint of emotion in his heart. His “old man” was indeed getting old. As he grew old, his mood also became calmer. If this had taken place a few years earlier, the old Commander-in-Chief would have already taken the thermos and smashed it onto his son’s head.
Time urged people to grow old, and no one could help it at all. As his father’s son, he would listen to his father more.
After laughing, Xia Jinyuan said, “Although the old Sir and my grandpa are old acquaintances, they have not been in contact for a long time. I have to go back and talk to my old grandpa about the matter first. Ye Jian is the old Sir’s granddaughter. I have no plans to tell this to my grandpa for the time being. Dad, Ye Jian sent a letter to her father early this morning, and I think it’s not too late to wait for her father to come back first.”
“You see, the Military Commission is investigating the death of my mother-in-law. I personally think that I should not make too much movement for the time being so as to avoid extra complications.”
He was referring to the fear that if someone knew that Ye Jian had returned to the Fu Family, they would do something…
