Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The old man picked a few main points and told Old Master Qin about them. He naturally wouldn’t tell him about the murder of Martyr Sun Xueqing. He only said that the two of them missed out on each other in the end. He also said that his grandson, Li Jinnian, unintentionally met his granddaughter and realized that his granddaughter resembled his aunt. Hence, he took note of it and asked around. In the end, he was overjoyed when he found out that Ye Jian was really his cousin.
“It’s fate that made a fool of us. Yusheng and I never thought that Jian’s mother would die early. We didn’t know that a descendant of the Fu family was still left outside. Alas, I keep thinking of Jian’s suffering over the years. My heart aches.”
The old man’s eyes turned red when he mentioned the hardships his granddaughter had suffered in the past. His old voice unconsciously became much lower and full of guilt.
Although he only picked a few main points, Old Master Qin was still gasping. All the coincidences combined to achieve the current outcome.
For a moment, he was filled with emotions. “I really didn’t expect there to be so many twists and turns. Don’t just think about the child’s past. Think about the future. Also, it’s fortunate that she managed to come back home. If not, your loss would be huge!”
Hearing this, Qin Xiu looked up at Ye Jian, who had a bright facial expression and was smiling like the sun. His grip on the bowl and chopsticks tightened.
After experiencing so many hardships, the smile on her face was still so bright. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like a clear lake. The hardships of life didn’t bring her any gloominess. There was only cheerfulness like the sun. The girl he liked... was so strong that it was admirable.
From her face, Qin Xiu could tell that she didn’t need other people’s sympathy or comfort. His thin lips curled up, and a smile slowly spread across his handsome face. “Yes, it’s all in the past. Hurry up and go over. I’ll wash the dishes. Since you’ve eaten, you have to perform well so that you won’t feel guilty the next time you come over.”
His calmness made Ye Jian feel relaxed. She put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and hesitated for a few seconds. Then, she smiled and said, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony. Thank you for your hard work.”
Perhaps it was because he had confessed to her back then, Ye Jian subconsciously maintained a certain distance and politeness with Qin Xiu. She didn’t realize that Qin Xiu’s eyes had already darkened.
When Ye Jian walked out of the dining room, he stood at the sink and rolled up his sleeves to wash the dishes. He sighed softly.
That confession was done out of his impulsiveness.
