Principal Chen also laughed, “How come there is such a misunderstanding?”
“I don’t know. My dad thought so after seeing Major Xia. I don’t know what he saw that made him think that I have a crush on Major Xia. When it comes to crushes, obviously, it’s Major Xia having a crush on me.” Ye Jian raised her chin up slightly, revealing her reservedness, “You also know that it has always been Major Xia chasing me.”
Principal Chen agreed with this. Indeed it was Major Xia who had a crush on Ye girl.
Ye Jian nodded and smiled, “Sure, I will keep it as a secret. I see you’re enjoying yourself; I’m afraid Major Xia will suffer later.”
“Haha, no, he won’t suffer; my dad has a good impression of him. He is his future son-in-law, anyway. Didn’t you only agree with my relationship with Major Xia after investigating his background for a long time back then?”
The smile on Ye Jian’s face became deeper and brighter, “I am indeed a little too young anyway, so I can only ask Major Xia to wait.”
“As long as you two know what to know, but, Ye girl, you can’t let Major Xia, who only had hearts for you and put all his effort on you to wait for too long. I have watched him for so many years; he really cares for you and puts you first.”
“You have to do the same; you can’t just ask for it; you have to know how to give back, too.”
“If you ask for too much or only want the other party to put effort while you stand motionless, then your relationship will not last long. You will be destined to be separated.”
Principal Chen was optimistic about Xia Jinyuan, so he reminded Ye Jian from time to time to prevent her from forgetting about putting the same effort into the relationship as not to lose her boyfriend.
The educated Ye Jian nodded repeatedly. Of course, she wouldn’t want Major Xia to wait for too long. He couldn’t get her father’s affirmation immediately, so she would definitely comfort him secretly and let him know her decision.
Since they were in love, then they shouldn’t keep it a secret. She didn’t want to do anything that she would regret for the rest of her life.
“You and Major Xia’s relationship is one thing, then what about your mother? How did you talk about it?”
Principal Chen was referring to the secret of the sacrifice of Martyr Sun Xueqing.
The smile on Ye Jian’s face converged at a visible speed; she lowered her eyes and spoke softly, “Today I took my father to visit my Old Uncle Gen and my mother. From early morning until four or five o’clock in the afternoon, my father kept facing her tombstone, talking to her. Uncle Chen, I didn’t tell him, I couldn’t tell my father that… there is something hidden behind my mother’s sacrifice.”
“Ye girl, you, you… You can’t hide these things; why do you always like to hide the truth?” Principal Chen was slightly angry, “You can’t be thinking of hiding this matter from your dad for a lifetime, right? Is that even possible?”
“You have already taken your dad to see your mother. It can be seen that you have completely accepted your dad and forgave him for why he left your mom back then. So why are you still hiding the truth from him?”
“You’ll only be the tired one if you hide too much, do you understand?” The angry Principal Chen felt distressed again, “You, silly girl, you are always afraid of your loved ones being sad, and would rather carry everything by yourself, this won’t work! You hear me?”
“I know you love us, but we love you too. And your dad loves you even more!”
“You have to tell the truth tonight. It can’t be delayed anymore. Your father has the right to know the truth. And you, Ye girl, you really have no right to hide the truth from your father.”
Principal Chen made the decision. He did not give Ye Jian a chance to protest.
It was not a trivial matter after all. How could she hide such a major problem?
The pale-faced Ye Jian nodded lightly, “Okay, I understand. I will say it…tonight. I have to tell my dad the truth. He has the right to know the truth, and I don’t have the right to hide it. Uncle Chen, you are right. I shouldn’t hide it anymore….”
She could hide the truth at this moment, but she couldn’t hide it for a lifetime.
