“Old Six told me before, Ye Jian is such an excellent girl. For her to enter the army is like falling into a wolf den, surrounded by hungry wolves. For the sake of his lifelong happiness, he has always been thinking of keeping Ye Jian in his palms.”
“He is your younger brother, and you are his sister. Since you are hoping for the good of the two, you should not intervene in their matters, understand?”
After finishing speaking, Hou Zi hugged his wife a little bit, bowed his head, and kissed his silent wife’s forehead, “Old Six is different from me. Although he is young, he is more mature than when I was twenty-seven, and he has a strong sense of responsibility; he won’t simply do things that will make Little Ye sad. You… don’t think Old Six is someone like us. He is a soldier. Since birth, he is different from me.”
Xia Yiwei remained silent. It was getting late, and she had already spoken all of these to Ye Jian.
“Nap, nap, I’m so sleepy, I’m going to have a nap. You accompany Little Ye tomorrow; I won’t follow you two.” Xia Yiwei, who felt a little guilty in her heart, closed her eyes and refused to talk anymore.
Hou Zi looked at her for a while, narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that…she had said something unfavorable about Old Six to Ye Jian. He didn’t know if they would be able to reach Old Six; he must tell him about this.
The sun was shining outside, so dazzling that it made people unable to open their eyes. Ye Jian, who didn’t have an umbrella, pushed open the bank doors. After about ten minutes or so, she quickly left in a car.
Back at the Caesar Hotel, Ye Jian opened the old yellow envelope. The paper had thin and thick red lines like a normal letter, and the person who wrote it should have written the letter deliberately with his left hand or hired someone to write the letter because the handwriting was crooked, and the typos were directly corrected with a pen.
It was indeed the original copy, though. Ye Zhifan did not lie to her.
There was not much content in the letter, but it was true as Ye Zhifan said, the person behind the jade pendant wanted to ruin her life, and he even asked Ye Zhifan to hide the jade pendant in advance so no one would know about it, “It will make you from a village official to become a high official.” This sentence highlighted the importance of the jade pendant, and the following sentence was also specially marked with a double underline.
Ye Jian’s gaze fell on the double underlines, which were drawn very straight with a single stroke. The length of the two lines was constant as if they had been calculated.
It could be seen from this that the person writing the letter actually had a certain degree of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
She couldn’t tell who wrote the letter, but the double line must come from the person behind the scene.
There were not many words, only half of the paper was written with words, but for Ye Zhifan, the sentence “It will make you from a village official to a high official” was enough to make him tempted.
After so many years, he had indeed been promoted from a village official to a high official.
Collecting the yellowed letter carefully, Ye Jian called Principal Chen, who was the instructor at the Yunnan Province Sniper Base.
Principal Chen didn’t know that she had returned to Yunnan Province, so when he heard that she was in Caesar Hotel, he immediately said, “I’m coming by car now, you wait in the hotel for me.”
Ye Jian didn’t want him to run back and forth, so she smiled and said, “Uncle Chen, have some rest if you’re on your off day. Tomorrow is Sun Ying’s court date. It’s not a big deal. You don’t have to be worried.”
With Mrs. Li’s intervention and the delay in informing her of the court date, it could be seen that Sun Ying would definitely be proud in the court tomorrow.
If it weren’t for her making a promise with Uncle Chen before to let him know in detail about Ye Zhifan’s family, she really wouldn’t tell Uncle Chen about her returning to Yunnan Province.
