Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

No, no, no!

Mrs. Xu was stunned. ”What’s wrong? What’s on your mind?”

Xu Wen didn’t answer. She narrowed her eyes and recalled every conversation she had with Ye Jian.

”My dad is accompanying me…” At that time, Ye Jian said this, which was why Xu Wen gave up on the idea of shopping with Ye Jian.

”Dad, Mom, I’m done. Enjoy your food.” Xu Wen hurriedly stuffed the food into her mouth. Without waiting for her parents to speak, she put down her chopsticks and ran back to her room.

Both of Ye Jian’s parents had passed away… In that case, who was the dad Ye Jian was talking about today?

No, she had to ask clearly. Her curiosity was completely piqued.

When Mrs. Xu saw this, she smiled and sighed. She said to Mr. Xu, ”Look at this child. She’s more mature when she isn’t praised. Now she’s like a child again.”

”You just have too many expectations. Wen has improved a lot. Don’t be too harsh.” Mr. Xu doted on his daughter and smiled as he picked up some vegetables for Mrs. Xu and placed them in her bowl. ”Eat some vegetables. After you’re done, the three of us will take a walk.”

”You always let her do whatever she wants.” Mrs. Xu glared at her husband, who pretended to be clueless.

It couldn’t be helped. Mr. Xu didn’t return home all year round, so he naturally had to dote on his daughter, whom he didn’t see often.

Ye Jian was chatting with Old Master Xia and Old Madam Xia at the Xia family’s old residence. When the two elders found out that their granddaughter-in-law was coming to the old residence tonight, they were overjoyed. They instructed the family to make early preparations, afraid that their granddaughter-in-law would be neglected.

They also told Commander Xia that he had to come back tonight to drink with his in-law. They didn’t need to drink until they were drunk. Just a little to heighten the atmosphere would do.

Commander Xia and Minister Xia entered the house one after another. Mr. Fu and Ye Jian were around half an hour earlier and were already chatting with the Xia family members present.

After dinner, they went to the garden behind the old Xia residence. They walked slowly in the cold wind. The entire time, they laughed and chatted.

As Old Madam Xia injured her knee when she was young, it was not suitable for her to walk for long. She walked around the back garden before going to the octagonal pavilion to rest. When Xu Wen called, Ye Jian was chatting and laughing with her.

Afraid that Ye Jian would be too embarrassed to speak, Old Madam Xia said, ”Young people need to have their own social circle. They can’t accompany the elderly all the time. My good granddaughter-in-law, go ahead and talk.”

Ye Jian liked the elders in the family very much. Old Master Fu, Old Master Xia, and Old Madam Xia were all kind elders who were always considerate toward the younger generation. They were wise, knowledgeable, and magnanimous. They had a positive and optimistic heart. They weren’t like the old madam of the Ye family who used her selfish desires to control her children. She didn’t even let the younger generation off.

Holding her cell phone, Ye Jian stood up and picked up Xu Wen’s call under the gentle gaze of Old Madam Xia.

After picking up the call, Xu Wen said, ”Jian, did you say your father accompanied you today?”

Ye Jian raised her eyebrows. When did this girl become so smart?

At that time, she was so happy that she blurted it out. Later, Xu Wen didn’t ask her about it, so she thought that Xu Wen didn’t take it to heart. Ye Jian didn’t expect Xu Wen to call her to ask about it at night.

She pondered for a moment and thought about how to answer Xu Wen. Xu Wen continued, ”Is it inconvenient for you to tell me? If it’s not convenient, just pretend that I didn’t ask.”

Xu Wen suddenly felt that there was no need to ask clearly. Anyway, Jian wouldn’t do anything bad.

Ye Jian smiled and said, ”It’s not inconvenient. I just don’t know how to start. I mentioned my father to you before. At that time, you and Jing thought that he was my godfather, so I didn’t explain further.
