Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Ye Jian knew that she had lost her composure just now. However, she had restrained herself enough. She didn’t really take action to kill this vicious old woman.

Despite Uncle Chen’s reprimand, Ye Jian didn’t regret the mistake she made just now. She didn’t regret strangling Grandma Ye. She only acted as such because she heard someone insulting her parents. She didn’t do anything wrong!

Seeing that Principal Chen didn’t intend to let go of her wrist, Ye Jian swallowed her tears and said, ”Uncle Chen, I’ve never disappointed you and Uncle. Even though I lost my composure just now and did something unwise, I’m still tolerating it.

”You know as well that with my skills, if I really wanted Grandma Ye to die, I wouldn’t have needed to strangle her. I would just twist her neck.

”Uncle Chen, I’m very angry, but I know how to control myself. After all, my identity restricts my actions and I can’t afford to make any mistakes. I know that certain actions will be to the enemy’s advantage and are harmful to us. I’ll never fall for that.”

Principal Chen thought for a while and slowly retracted his hand.

That made sense.

With Ye Jian’s skills, if she really wanted to kill Grandma Ye, she wouldn’t need to strangle her. She would just twist her neck and break it.

However, he could answer the questions she wanted to ask this old woman. ”Don’t ask anymore, girl. She’s right. You… are indeed not your father’s daughter. Your father… was infertile. Back then, your mother chose to marry your father because she knew that he was infertile.

”Girl, you’re indeed not Ye Xinfan’s daughter. Your parents were only in a transactional marriage. They weren’t in a true and genuine marriage.”

Just one sentence from Uncle Chen caused Ye Jian’s pupils to contract. She raised her head and looked at Principal Chen in disbelief. ”What… did you say?”

”Your father and mother were brought together by Grandpa Gen. It was your mother who look for Grandpa Gen and asked him to find an honest and reliable man of the same age in the same village for her. Hence, he went to find your father.” Principal Chen knew that she had heard him clearly, but she just couldn’t accept it.

Glancing at Grandma Ye who was still laughing weirdly, Principal Chen looked at Ye Jian kindly. He sighed softly and said, ”Your father didn’t dare to agree but Grandma Ye agreed. So, he secretly looked for your mother and told her about his situation. He thought that your mother would reject him but she agreed.

”Even I didn’t know about your parents’ relationship back then. I learned about it from your mother’s diary… If you want to know, I can bring it to you. The diary was personally sent over by Commissioner Cai.”

Principal Chen’s words shattered the last hope in Ye Jian’s heart. She stood rooted to the floor as if she had lost her soul.

…

She was not her father’s daughter?

Then whose daughter was she?

No wonder Grandma Ye called her a bastard child. She knew that she was not her father’s daughter.

”Then… who is my father?” Ye Jian asked blankly with empty eyes. She didn’t seem to be asking. Instead, she seemed to be saying something unconsciously.

Principal Chen couldn’t answer who Ye Jian’s father was because he didn’t know either. It was not written in the diary of Martyr Sun Xueqing.
