2616 High Profile
The old man was a magnanimous old man who had never done evil things. It was said that one’s heart was reflected in one’s appearance. From the old man’s kind and gentle eyes, one could tell that he was a kind old man.
Facing his only granddaughter, the old man smiled and sighed. “You won’t be disturbing me, so come and tell me what difficulties you’ve encountered. Don’t be anxious. Tell me slowly after you straighten things out. I’m listening.”
At this moment, the old man had already guessed why Ye Jian was looking for him.
She was thinking about the adults’ matters. In the end, the adults let a child like her suffer.
!!
Just like what Xia Jinyuan said, the old man had already guessed something when Ye Jian avoided talking about her mother with him. Now that he saw that she even locked the study room door consciously, the old man already had an answer in his heart.
What he was afraid of came true.
After Xia Jinyuan ended his call with Ye Jian, he saw his old man wearing a short-sleeved summer uniform as he walked through the field. Everywhere he passed, the people saluted him and greeted him.
The old man rarely came to the field in such a high-profile manner, and his footsteps were so hurried. Xia Jinyuan grabbed his phone and walked out from behind the camphor tree.
“Lieutenant Colonel.”
The moment he walked out, a guard’s voice came from behind. Xia Jinyuan turned his head and looked over. “My dad is looking for me, right? I understand. Go and do your work.”
Xia Jinyuan asked the guard to go and return to his work. He would go and look for the old man himself.
The guards around the commander-in-chief were not ordinary guards. They had already noticed Xia Jinyuan standing behind a tree and making a call. They waited for him to end the call before disturbing him.
Commander Xia’s back was already drenched in sweat as he walked through the entire field. His military green clothes were drenched in sweat.
Seeing that Xia Jinyuan, whom he had been searching for almost half an hour, had finally appeared, Commander Xia’s expression wasn’t good anymore. “What are you busy with? You even blocked my phone number!”
Only then did Xia Jinyuan remember that he had not changed the special settings on his phone. He saw that the commander-in-chief’s expression was not good, so he immediately changed the settings and smiled. “Did you get bullied? Do you need me to stand up for you?”
The commander-in-chief felt that he was becoming more and more composed in front of Xia Jinyuan. He probably had more than half of the credit for this.
Commander-in-Chief Xia took a deep breath and said coldly, “Little Ye is going back to school tonight. As her boyfriend, is it right for you to wander around the field? Is it right for you to do this? You even said that you want to leave a good impression in front of your future father-in-law. What good impression can you leave him with your looks?”
Hearing this, Xia Jinyuan felt that something was amiss. He immediately walked toward the house. “You’re right. I can’t leave a good impression on our future father-in-law by wandering around the field like this. From your expression, you seem to have thought of a solution for me. I’ll have to trouble you to guide me.”
His old man must have found a way to let him see his little fox later. If not, the old man wouldn’t have come to the field to receive a bunch of salutes without even changing his military uniform.
When the old man returned to the courtyard, he kept a low profile. Whenever he went out for a walk, he would definitely wear casual clothes. Once, he wore casual clothes and squatted under a tree, looking at a nest of ants with relish. A soldier who had just been transferred back from outside realized that this old man had squatted under the tree for a long time without moving. He thought that it was an old man who had sneaked in from outside and wanted to teach him a lesson.
The old man didn’t make things difficult for the soldier. He only asked the soldier to send him out. After he went out, he called his guard and the guard picked him up.
