2615 So Cruel

That was what Xia Jinyuan meant. This information was something that couldn’t be hidden. Reality was coming, and they couldn’t hide it anymore.

“But I don’t dare to say it now. I don’t have the confidence.” Ye Jian’s eyes were red. This concerned her parents. No matter how firm she was, she couldn’t help but feel anxious. “Happiness is short-lived, but sorrow is forever. Good news might be forgotten in a short time, but bad news is like an invisible knife cutting a hole in your heart. It’s impossible to forget.

“Captain Xia, I want to keep it a secret for as long as I can. That way, at least my dad will be happy for another minute.”

Xia Jinyuan understood Ye Jian’s thoughts. However, this was about Mother-in-law.

!! “Little Fox, don’t forget this. If you bring Father-in-law to meet his wife and he goes over happily but ends up at the martyrs’ memorial park, he’ll be devastated. Little Fox, you’ve given Father-in-law so much hope. Do you want to make Father-in-law believe that he can still reunite with his wife until the last minute?

“But in the end, you’ll just end up bringing him to the martyrs’ memorial park. Little Fox, don’t you think that this is very cruel? You want your father-in-law to be happy for every extra minute you can give him, and I can understand that. As a child, I hope that my parents will be happy too.

“But my mother-in-law’s situation is different. You have to deal with this situation calmly. At the same time, you have to deal with it appropriately. My suggestion is that you should mention it to Father-in-law first. There’s no need to say it directly.

“With Father-in-law’s experience and character, I think that he’ll understand those cruel words even if you don’t say them directly.”

Ye Jian’s expression slowly calmed down. “Let me talk to… Grandpa first. I’ll see if Grandpa has guessed why I’ve been avoiding the topic. Then, I’ll talk to my father.”

“My little fox is smart. That’s right. Just do it. Don’t be anxious and know your limits. Father-in-law will understand your painstaking efforts.”

Xia Jinyuan was not stingy with his compliments. “It’s getting late. Go downstairs first. The flight is at 9.11 pm, so you have to go out at 7.30 pm.”

Ye Jian was a smart girl. It was just that there were some things that she couldn’t handle properly. With Xia Jinyuan’s guidance, she quickly had her own opinion.

Grandpa had a rough life and went through many storms. His children died when he was young. Later, his only sister got married in a hurry. In the end, they lost contact with each other. He even lost contact with the child who was temporarily raised by his younger sister… which was her father.

Her grandfather had gone through so many hardships. She knew very well that it was just like what Captain Xia said. Regarding the fact that she had been avoiding talking about her mother… Her grandfather must’ve had a guess about it.

When the old man saw his granddaughter pushing open his study room door, he hesitated. He took off his presbyopia glasses and looked at his slender and elegant granddaughter kindly. He said gently, “Did you sleep well? Are you used to the room?”

He didn’t ask Ye Jian why she was hesitating. The old man was concerned about Ye Jian’s well-being first.

“Everything’s great. I didn’t wake up once. It’s like being in my own house.”

Ye Jian replied softly. She was a little uneasy, so she curled her fingers unconsciously. “Grandpa, I… wish to talk to you about something. Is that okay?”

There was pity in the old man’s wise eyes. His granddaughter had suffered. The adults’ matter had implicated a child like her.
