From a young age, she especially envied the children with older brothers and sisters in the village. Every time they were bullied by other children, it was not their parents who stood up for them first, but their older brothers and sisters. They protected their younger siblings like hens protecting their chicks.
At that time, she was very envious of this. Later, Ye Ying was bullied by other children, and she stupidly rushed over to protect Ye Ying. As a result… what she got in the Ye Family was not praise but beating and scolding.
Ye Ying complained to Sun Dongqing, saying that Ye Jian had teamed up with the other children to bully her and that she also helped other children to beat her. Since then, Ye Jian had never done such a stupid thing ever again.
But in her heart, she still hoped to have an older brother or sister to protect her, and she naively thought that it would be great if they could appear one day to protect her from Sun Dongqing’s beating and scolding.
The naive and silly dream from her childhood came true today. And her brother was even a special soldier who could defeat ten people. Ye Jian felt that she had actually gained a huge deal from recognizing this man as her brother!
After receiving the cold glances, Xia Jinyuan glared at Li Jinnian, his eyelids flicked uncontrollably.
“Brother-in-law” was a creature that either ignored everything or took care of everything. And it was obvious from the Devil King’s expression that… he was the “brother-in-law” who took care of everything!
To have a brother-in-law who took care of everything, his life would not be peaceful.
But he could accept it, as long as Little Fox had a better life, and she could be happy. Furthermore, Li Jinnian, the “brother-in-law,” was not at home all the time. He would return to Beijing, but Little Fox may not necessarily have to return to Beijing. Besides, one of them was in the navy while the other was in the army, so they would not have too many days to meet. Even if his “brother-in-law” wanted to take care of everything, it would only matter for a few days. He just had to bear it for a while.
Xia Jinyuan suddenly sighed in relief as he thought. He continued to sit quietly, having not disturbed the family reunion. With inspiring eyes, he gently stared at Ye Jian.
The old gentleman also noticed something unusual; his kind eyes instantly became sharper, looking at the young man who had only glanced at him just now.
He was the rank of Major, good-looking, and had good features.
Yes, his eyes were also not bad; he had military might and righteousness, his stature…was also similar to his grandson, tall and straight. He looked like a good young man from the outside.
Seeing that the old gentleman was looking at himself, Xia Jinyuan, who had been sitting upright, smiled politely, allowing the old gentleman to look at him generously and gracefully.
The visit this time was equivalent to accompanying his Little Fox back to her maternal house, and to him, it was visiting his in-laws… The only thing that he had failed was that he didn’t prepare any gifts!
The old man liked the young man who was full of life and bright. Seeing Xia Jinyuan’s neither humble nor overbearing attitude, he nodded secretly.
The sorrowful atmosphere instantly became relaxed after Ye Jian called out “brother.” The old gentleman who blamed himself for not knowing the existence of his granddaughter for more than 20 years stacked Li Jinnian’s hands with Ye Jian’s hands together and said earnestly, “You two are close relatives. As an older brother, you must know how to give in. You must also know to protect your sister. As a younger sister, you must be considerate of your older brother and be more caring to him.”
“You are a navy while you are in the army. It is not easy to meet each other. If you have time, try to write and call each other to see if everything is okay.”
“What is important for a family? The important thing is to care about each other and not to be alienated. If you start to alienate your family, when you look back, wanting to find family affection again, no matter how hard you try, there will still be a gap.”
