Xia Jinyuan took the warm water from the butler and handed it to Li Jinnian. “Let him drink some water and calm down before talking.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t go anywhere today. I’ll always be with you.” Ye Jian was frightened. There was a blood clot in his brain, which was also called cerebral thrombosis. This disease was most sensitive to emotional instability. She hurriedly said something that could reassure the old man. “Drink some water first. You can ask me whatever questions you have slowly and I’ll answer them all.”
All along, the Fu family had only been looking for Martyr Sun Xueqing. They did not know that Martyr Sun Xueqing had given birth to a daughter for Fu Yusheng. Now that Ye Jian, who was like Martyr Sun Xueqing, had suddenly appeared, Old Master Fu, who had always been calm, was so excited that his emotions fluctuated greatly.
Ye Jian waited for the old man to calm down before replying softly, “My name is Ye Jian. I’m 20 years old this year. I’m a freshman at the National Science University. Look at me now and you’ll know that I’m doing well. I didn’t suffer much.
“I also know that you’ve been looking for my mother. You’ve never given up. Thank you for thinking about us. Thank you., Ye Jian said softly, trying her best to make the old man feel better.
!!
The old man did not believe her. Tears streamed down his face as he held his granddaughter’s hand tightly. His voice was as heavy as a rock. “How could you not have suffered? How could you not have?”
“Your mother was pregnant with you. In that era, getting pregnant out of wedlock was a big deal. People would’ve pointed fingers at you. She even gave birth to you… I’m the one who’s too late. I made the two of you suffer. It’s our Fu family who mistreated the two of you.”
The old man blamed himself. He had let down the heavens and the earth in his life. He had a clear conscience toward his country. The only thing that made him feel uneasy day and night was his son’s fiancée.
A pure and innocent young woman got together with his son and they were about to register their marriage when his son was suddenly recalled for a year of confinement. The family did not receive any news at all. By the time they found out about this, everything had already changed.
Unexpectedly, his daughter-in-law was actually pregnant. In that era, a woman who got pregnant out of wedlock would be scolded by thousands of people. However, his daughter-in-law gave birth to a child in that era. It could be seen how strong she was!
This child was like her mother. She was young and had a tenacious gaze. Her back was even straighter, and she had the arrogance to compete with the wind and snow.
Such arrogance was not something ordinary people could have. Only those who had suffered countless hardships could have such arrogance.
His granddaughter was trying to comfort him… to make him feel better.
Ye Jian was also very sad, but she felt more relieved than anything else. With tears in her eyes, she kept comforting the old man who was deeply blaming himself. “Don’t blame yourself. You tried your best to find my mother. However, my mother’s name isn’t Red Plum. It’s normal that you haven’t been able to find her.”
Facing the old man who blamed himself so much that his hands were trembling, Ye Jian didn’t dare to mention that her mother had already passed away. She quickly changed the topic and talked about herself. “I’m fine too. I’m really fine. I got into a school I like and started a career I like. I’m really fine. Don’t be too sad.”
How could he not be sad? His only granddaughter revealed that the Fu family knew nothing about her. How could he not be sad?
