Chapter 2220: A Story, A Memory

After answering the call, Li Jinnian felt more confident about persuading Ye Jian to visit his grandfather.
If he had known that bringing up his grandfather’s ident.i.ty would be so useful and could shock Ye Jian, he would have brought it up when he first spoke. He would not have offended her.
Ye Jian put down her phone and said to Xia Jinyuan with lingering fear, “Fortunately, I didn’t say anything overboard back then. I only said that he got the wrong person. It’s lucky I don’t have the habit of scolding people casually. If I had acted tough just now and said something insulting, I wouldn’t have dared to ask for forgiveness.”
It was too scary. She really did not expect Li Jinnian to be Old Master Fu’s grandson, nor did she expect him to tell her a story from a long time ago that involved Old Master Fu.
Fortunately, she had suppressed the fire within her and did not say anything overboard. It was really fortunate…
Ye Jian patted her chest lightly. She was so nervous that she had to drink a large gla.s.s of cold water to suppress the lingering fear in her heart.
Old Master Fu, a hero who devoted himself to defense construction and led the country’s missile and satellite research so that the country would no longer be threatened by other countries, was definitely not her grandfather.
It was too scary, way too scary. Her heart almost jumped out of her throat!
Seeing that she was so nervous, Xia Jinyuan smiled and didn’t say anything.
Got the wrong person? Mistaken?
It was unlikely.
Little Fox was not an ordinary person. She was a special forces soldier who had undergone special training. She was a special forces soldier who could find her target accurately among thousands of photos. How could she be mistaken?
When he said that he was suspicious just now, it was mainly because he was too shocked. He had investigated in detail previously, so he subconsciously thought that Li Jinnian might have really mistaken her for someone else.
After calming down and thinking about it… It seemed unlikely that there was a mistake here.
Old Master Fu was a genius. His IQ crushed everyone else’s, making the students around him feel that they were actually idiots.
It was the same for Ye Jian. She might have inherited his intelligence.
Xia Jinyuan just silently thought about it in his heart. He didn’t tell Ye Jian.
She was already so nervous. If he said these words aloud, she would probably be so nervous that she wouldn’t even want to meet Li Jinnian.
30 minutes later, Li Jinnian pushed open the ward door and walked to Ye Jian’s side calmly.
Before she could speak, Ye Jian said, “Demon King, show me the photo again. I must have mistaken the person in the photo for someone else.”
“You can look at the photo later. Let me tell you a story first.” Li Jinnian moved a small round chair to the bed and sat down. His cold and steady eyes stared at Ye Jian as he told her an old story.
This was a story about Old Master Fu when he was young. He talked about what happened during those years as well as Old Master Fu’s children who died young—Fu Yu’an and Fu Yusheng. These things made Ye Jian’s heart ache.
It turned out that the old gentleman’s life was so b.u.mpy!
“…My uncle went to the army on a mission once and met a female soldier named Red Plum. My uncle quickly fell in love with her. Just as it was time to get married, my uncle was suddenly recalled and spent a year in solitary confinement.”
Ye Jian’s pupils constricted.
A sudden recall and a year of confinement… Her mother’s diary did mention that the man she loved had suddenly disappeared without a word…
‘Did… Did I make a mistake?
‘Mom is really… really…’ For a moment, Ye Jian’s mind was a mess. She couldn’t think properly.
