Major Xia once said that Ye Jian could tell him everything about her problems and he would take care of it, but she didn’t know why, no matter what, she still couldn’t do it.
Deep down in her heart, she always stubbornly believed that the issue was regarding her family and that she had to solve it by herself. How could she have Major Xia involved in it?
Even if he was her lover and family, she just couldn’t let him take care of her family’s affairs. She would feel guilty for doing so.
However, she didn’t even feel a trace of guilt now that her father said the same thing.
“I understand, don’t worry, I will take good care of myself, and I will not leave school casually if there is no mission or task. But you also have to take good care of yourself. You can’t risk yourself because of Mother’s affairs. If I found out that you act ruthless, don’t think I would not come out to help you just because I’m a student.”
Father Fu felt comfortable even though his daughter “threatened” him. His daughter was worried, and she just cared about him.
“Okay, I won’t risk myself, I promise.” Father Fu laughed out loud, with more fine lines around the corners of his eyes, “We should take good care of ourselves. Sir Fu is still waiting for us to return home.”
Ye Jian listened to her father’s laughter and gently closed her eyes as the car swayed.
Everything was very good now, so good as if all this was just a dream.
But it was not a dream. She knew very well that it was not a dream. This was real.
She found her father, and now she was resting on her father’s shoulders, and even if the sky fell, she would be protected by her father. Yes, she just needed to be protected.
Her old self in her previous life… finally left, and she finally got the relief she had earned so hard for. Her shoulders that had been pressed hard all these years suddenly loosened.
Sun Yaozu was dead, Old Mrs. Ye was dead, Ye Zhixiang ran away to other countries with her two sons, Ye Zhifan had fallen, Sun Dongqing was in jail, Ye Ying was even forced to change her surname to Sun Ying, and she had fallen into the hands of Mrs. Li now, making her never be eligible to marry into the Li Family.
One thing after another was over; what was left now was her mother’s affairs, and… oh, the jade pendant!
Suddenly recalling about the jade pendant, Ye Jian, who had closed her eyes, opened her eyes abruptly and sat upright; Father Fu couldn’t help asking, “What’s the matter?”
“Dad, do you know about Mom’s jade pendant?”
Father Fu, who was anxious, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, “Oh, I know, that was the token of love I gave to your mother, and it is also the last treasure handed down in our Fu Family.”
“If you didn’t mention it, I almost forgot about it. I thought the jade pendant was lost.”
The Fu Family was a rich family in the south of the Yangtze River. When the time was still good, they had treasures that came from the imperial palace, and the jade pendant was one of them that had been passed down in the Fu Family. It had quite a history.
After all, before the Republic of China, only the royals could own a jade pendant.
Ye Jian also thought that the jade pendant might have been given by her father to her mother, but she was more convinced that it was given to her mother by the person behind the matter in exchange for her mother to do something for him. But then her mother disagreed with the man and wanted to use the jade pendant as proof. Unfortunately, before she was able to do anything, she was sacrificed.
But today, Ye Jian learned that it had been a token of love from her father, then… Why did Ye Zhifan keep saying that the person behind the jade pendant… Ye Jian frowned.
Then she told her father what Ye Zhifan had said to her in prison. Father Fu’s face turned black after hearing it, “Absurd! How could a piece of jade help him soar in his career?”
