Ye Jian’s nose suddenly felt sour. Uncle Chen said so much. The person who cared about her mother the most in this world was her father. Uncle Chen spoke so much about her mother’s affairs… Father Fu would definitely take it to heart and would certainly seek justice for her mother.
“I still have a few diaries written by Mother. She frequently mentions words such as smuggling. Dad, do you know who Mother offended in the army back then?”
Father Fu shook his head, “I never discuss work with your mother. I don’t know what she did or what tasks she performed. Just like how your mother also didn’t know why I appeared in her army.”
So, Dad had no clues.
Ye Jian stood in a daze with disappointment, pressing the corners of her mouth lightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Principal Chen noticed Father Fu’s arms trembling with anger. He raised his hand and patted his shoulder lightly, “Major General, it’s actually the best for us to leave this matter to you.”
“Don’t let Jian’er handle it anymore. She’s still a military academy cadet. If even the Military Commission needs to be careful when investigating the matter, it’s obvious that the culprit has certain powers. If he knows about Jian’er, Jian’er’s life wouldn’t be easy!”
Father Fu immediately understood the profound meaning of Principal Chen’s words. He also thought to this extent.
After Father Fu finished speaking, Principal Chen’s eyes lit up slightly; Ye girl’s biological father… was really smart! He actually thought about the matter so deeply!
“Yes, we haven’t made any big moves, and I also told Ye, girl, not to get involved. The people behind the scenes would most probably want to deal with Ye girl since they had spent a lot of thought into destroying her life.”
Principal Chen’s words slid into Ye Jian’s mind naturally.
“Uncle Chen, don’t…” As soon as Ye Jian spoke, Uncle Chen raised his hand to stop her and pointed to the barracks, “Ye girl, we adults are talking. You go back to your room and rest. You have to get up early tomorrow to run a few laps at the shooting range. I haven’t seen you training for a long time. I don’t want to see you becoming bad in your performance.”
“Go rest, kiddo. I will chat with Principal Chen for a bit.” Father Fu also signaled Ye Jian to go back to her room. Since it was not convenient for his daughter to be there, she must not be allowed to stay.
Ye Jian had no choice, so she turned around and left.
Then she heard Father Fu say, “Thank you, Principal Chen, for taking care of my daughter these years. Principal Chen, let me call you Elder Brother, and you also should stop calling me Major General Fu. You are a few years older than me; just call me Little Brother. What do you think?”
“As long as you don’t mind, I’m fine with it.”
Before taking a few more steps, Ye Jian heard that the two fathers called each other “elder brother” and “little brother” as if they had known each other for many years.
Ye Jian knew that Principal Chen would definitely talk about her staying at Ye Zhifan’s house when she was a child and her mother’s remarriage.
The sun was bright in the day, and there was a bright moon in the evening. Although the moon was not full, it was bright and peaceful, like a tulle covering the earth.
Father Fu sat directly on the field, raised his head, and looked at the moon. After watching it for a long time, he forced the tears in his eyes back.
“Haha, sorry that you have to see me like this, elder brother…I can’t hold it in… Jian’er…this kid had suffered too much when she was a child…too much.” Father Fu turned his head and looked at Principal Chen, who was sitting with him on the field. His voice was coarse, “This child had the same experience as the descendants of the Fu Family. All of them had a hard life when they were young.”
“I thought she would have a better life if she was adopted, at least better than when I was adopted after being abandoned in the streets by the middle-aged woman. It took a few years for me to find my family back in Beijing, but I didn’t expect…My daughter suffered several times worse than me.”
