Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around!

2609 Proper Talk

Last time, Ye Jian stayed in the guest room, so the butler didn’t tidy it up prior. When Mr. Fu came back, he started tidying the room upstairs.

The room that Ye Jian was in now was originally the old man’s room. However, the old man didn’t want to climb up and down, so he stayed downstairs.

This sunny room was used as a study.

Now, it had become Ye Jian’s room.

!! The old man knew that this was the best room. He felt at ease and praised Mr. Fu for being meticulous.

Ye Jian couldn’t help but smile when she saw Mr. Fu being praised by the old man like a child.

Mr. Fu, who was used to being praised by the old man like a child, pursed his lips and smiled when he saw his daughter. At that moment, she really looked like his wife when she was young. She was gentle like an orchid and aloof from worldly affairs, making people have a good impression of her.

At that time, it was because of his wife’s gentle smile that he couldn’t forget her. He chased after her for a year before he managed to win her heart.

Ye Jian was indeed tired, but she didn’t go upstairs immediately. She accompanied the old man for breakfast and told Mr. Fu about her situation in school. She didn’t return to her room until seven o’clock.

It was indeed different to have a daughter at home. Both men could feel the warmth of a family in the house.

The old man looked at his granddaughter kindly as she went upstairs. He smiled and said, “We’re reunited. We’re really reunited this time.”

“Yes. When I bring Red Plum back, our family will be truly reunited.”

Mr. Fu smiled too. When he thought of his wife, his smile got deeper. “Dad, I’ll accompany Jian back to school tonight. Then, I’ll fetch Red Plum back to the capital city.”

At the mention of his daughter-in-law, the old man sitting with his hands on his crutch looked a little serious. His wise eyes, which were filled with hardships, glanced upstairs. His old voice became much lower. “About my daughter-in-law… Yusheng, it’s best if you have a proper talk with Jian about her.

“Previously, I sensed that this child was deliberately avoiding talking about my daughter-in-law. I’m worried that she has something difficult to say. You know how hard it was back then for an unmarried woman to get pregnant. If… I mean if Red Plum has really remarried, you can forget about it.

“Ask Jian about it first. I know that you’re happy to be reunited with your daughter, but you can’t be rash. Do you understand?”

The old man had another premonition, but he couldn’t say it out loud.

“Don’t worry, I know what to do. I won’t make things difficult for Red Plum or Jian. I treated them badly and let them down for more than 20 years. If I make things difficult for them now, I’ll be worse than a pig or a dog.”

Mr. Fu sighed as he replied. The bitterness in his heart was overflowing.

Seeing this, the old man sighed and shook his head. ‘Yu Sheng… might not have thought of the worst.’

He would wait for his granddaughter to speak first.

“You’ve always been reliable, so I’m at ease. However, people have their sorrows and joys. We’re already in this position, so we can’t be greedy anymore. Even if there’s a bad result, you have to accept it calmly. Do you understand?”

It was already a subtle reminder to Mr. Fu to think about the negative possibilities.

The old man had experienced so many things. He had experienced the joys and sorrows of the world many times. Ye Jian’s evasion allowed the old man to know that things weren’t so simple. He could vaguely guess that it wasn’t good news.

The living room was a little quiet. One could hear the birds chirping outside the French windows. After a long time, Mr. Fu said softly, “Okay, don’t worry. I know what I should do.”
