Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Her reply made Li Jinnian’s eyes sting.

He almost lost his composure and had to secretly adjust his breathing. Then he said, ”Okay, when his IV is done, we’ll go home together…” It was obvious how much he was looking forward to it.

At this moment, Ye Jian’s heart trembled.

Familial love… Did she really have familial love other than Uncle Chen and Grandpa Gen?

Was there really more?

What if it was a mistake? What if it wasn’t true? What if it was nothing more than empty joy?

When she was sitting in the car, Ye Jian felt uneasy because of all kinds of uncertainty. Hence, she was not happy about going to Old Master Fu’s residence.

”When you meet the old master, just greet him respectfully. Since Li Jinnian didn’t say anything else, you don’t have to worry too much. Acknowledging your family is a big deal, and he won’t do it casually. He has to make thorough arrangements in all aspects.” Xia Jinyuan held her hand. It was a little cold due to her nervousness.

His handsome face smiled as he whispered, ”Don’t think about anything else. Just take it as though you’re visiting a great scientist now.”

He was telling Ye Jian not to treat Old Master Fu as her grandfather and regard this as a visit to a great scientist.

With him accompanying her, Ye Jian was indeed much calmer.

Li Jinnian was very grateful for Xia Jinyuan’s help. Without his help today, Ye Jian wouldn’t have agreed to go home with him so easily.

His cousin should trust her family the most, but now, she trusted Xia Jinyuan so much. Li Jinnian was both happy and bitter about it.

He was glad that his cousin had a man who understood her, loved her, and cared for her. However, he felt bitter that he wasn’t the one who accompanied her through all the difficulties. He didn’t even know how many difficulties she had experienced.

He glanced at the back through the rearview mirror and saw that Ye Jian was focused on Xia Jinyuan. She didn’t seem to be happy about going home. Li Jinnian couldn’t bear to look away.

In her eyes, was kinship something so insubstantial?

Had she never wanted the care of a close relative?

Had she been so utterly disappointed in kinship that she no longer yearned for it?

What kind of environment had she been living in, then? How much had she suffered to be so indifferent and insecure?

Thinking of the first time he met Ye Jian and how mature she was, Li Jinnian’s heart ached.

His cousin should have grown up like a princess who was doted on by her family. However, because of fate, the Fu family did not even know of her existence.

Li Jinnian, whose emotions had been fluctuating, only calmed down when he drove into the depths of a park that was hidden from the city.

”When they were planning the capital back then, they deliberately preserved the original appearance of the entire mountain. On the left is the capital’s suburbs park. This is where the old scientists retire. It’s guarded by armed police. Ordinary people can’t enter and leave.” In order to let Ye Jian relax, Xia Jinyuan introduced this place.

”The scientists who developed the first generation of computers in our country also live here. The small houses behind the hidden trees are filled with old scientists. If you meet any old man while walking here, his identity will definitely shock you.”

The car went up the mountain road. Through the car window, Ye Jian saw several small red brick buildings. Thinking that the small buildings were filled with scientists who had dedicated their lives to the country, the nervousness in her heart disappeared. All that was left was respect.
