2607 A Father’s Love

Ye Jian’s words struck a chord in Mr. Fu’s heart. He saw Ye Jian yawning softly. Her tired look made Mr. Fu’s heart ache. He asked her to close her eyes and rest for a while. They would talk when they reached home.

It was almost an hour’s drive from the military to his house, and it took that long even though there wasn’t any traffic jam. Ye Jian returned home just in time for the old man’s morning exercise.

The old man didn’t know that Ye Jian had gone on a mission. He didn’t know that Mr. Fu experienced a life-or-death calamity a few days ago. When he saw the father and daughter appear together, the old man was stunned for a while.

Ye Jian saw the white-haired old man wearing a white linen shirt and pants. He was standing in the courtyard and gesturing left and right. He was much more energetic than the last time they parted. Even his complexion was rosier. She was instantly happy.

!!
She said to Mr. Fu, “The last time I met Grandpa, Cousin’s words had given me a fright. Now that I’m back to visit Grandpa, he looks to be in good spirits, and his complexion is rosy.” Hence, he would definitely live a long and healthy life.

“Your grandfather knows about you. He has something to look forward to now. His heart is relaxed, and his anger has dissipated. His spirit is naturally good. I’m relieved that the old man is in good spirits now.”

When Mr. Fu saw that the old man was still able to stand on one leg, he slowly turned around with the tip of his toes. The smile on his elegant face got brighter. “I never had much time to accompany the old man, so our house is cold and cheerless. Now, everything is fine. Since you’ve come back, this family will really become a family. When your mother comes back, our family will truly be reunited.”

Hearing Mr. Fu mention Martyr Sun Xueqing, Ye Jian’s expression turned a little gloomy.

What should she tell her father?

Seeing that her father was looking forward to meeting her mother, how should she tell her father that her mother had left them for more than ten years?

What method could she use to reduce the sorrow in her father’s heart?

Ye Jian felt sad and bitter.

Coincidentally, the old man was facing the entrance of the courtyard. He saw two figures standing outside the carved black gate. One was his son who couldn’t come back home all year round, and the other was his granddaughter whom he just met not long ago. He didn’t have the time to understand her before she had to go back to school.

He was quite surprised. He didn’t even know that his granddaughter was back. When did the father and daughter meet each other?

Ye Jian was afraid that the old man would lose his balance, so she hurried over and said, “Good morning, Grandpa.”

“Yes, yes. I’m fine.”

The old man could tell that his granddaughter was worried about him. He slowly put down his leg. He was so happy that the wrinkles on his face deepened. “Don’t worry. I’ve always been practicing Tai Chi. It’s just that I got sick in the second half of last year and haven’t been able to practice it. I’m still recovering, and I’ve made you worry.”

The kind-looking old man patted Ye Jian’s hand that was holding his arm and said to Mr. Fu, “Yusheng, have the two of you met? Isn’t this your first time?”

It didn’t look like this was their first time meeting.

Mr. Fu held the old man’s left hand and helped him back to his room with Ye Jian. He smiled and said, “I’ve already met Jian. As you’ve been busy, she didn’t have the time to tell you. She just finished her training these few days, and I received a letter last night, so I went to fetch her. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid that you would be worried.”

As he spoke, he winked at his daughter.
