“She knows what’s most important to her. She knows what she can give up and what she can put aside for the time being. We took care of her because she’s worthy of being taken care of. She’s talented, responsible, and a child who can achieve great things. If she’s really useless, we wouldn’t have groomed her like this.”
Princ.i.p.al Chen had no intention of taking credit. Instead, he spoke calmly. He wasn’t afraid that Commissioner Cai would misunderstand anything.
That was the truth. Why did Uncle Gen, a Cla.s.s A Master Sergeant, want to groom Ye Jian? First, it was because of Ye Jian’s mother. Second, it was because Ye Jian had become sensible. She was no longer as weak and useless as before. Third, she had the ability and talent.
He was the same. If Ye Jian weren’t capable and talented, he wouldn’t have risked his ident.i.ty to groom her.
That was what he thought at that time.
However, the more he interacted with this girl, the more he felt that this girl had a rare and precious quality. She was good and had a righteous heart.
During training, she never complained about being tired. Even when she was in pain, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
As long as he interacted with Ye Jian for a long time, he would know that Ye Jian was a good girl that was loved.
Commissioner Cai didn’t know Ye Jian well. However, her resolution had left a deep impression on him. Hence, when Princ.i.p.al Chen mentioned Ye Jian, he felt that this was the real Ye Jian.
“The student surpa.s.ses the master. She’s better than her mother. This is also Hongmei’s wish.” Commissioner Cai smiled gently. There was a hint of gentleness in the corners of his eyes, but it disappeared quickly. There was only a hint of sharpness. “It’s a pity that Hongmei didn’t see it! If she were still alive, she would be so happy to see her child being so promising.”
Princ.i.p.al Chen noticed something from his sudden change in expression. He had never seen Ye Jian’s mother before, but he heard from Uncle Gen that the ladies from all over the country couldn’t be compared to her. After entering the military, there would always be male soldiers who liked her.
Just like Ye Jian, a few days ago, Commander Liu was looking for fun and said that one of the old soldiers from Shanghai got into a university. He asked him about Ye Jian and said that he wanted to woo her.
What was even more ridiculous was that the family of the soldier supported him. They called the office and hoped that the military unit would help their son to woo his girlfriend.
It was a burden for Ye Jian to still remember the past after so many years. Princ.i.p.al Chen patted Commissioner Cai’s shoulder. “Ye Jian always goes to the martyrs’ cemetery to visit her mother. She’s filial and stronger than we thought.”
“But there are many things she has to do. For instance, finding the mastermind behind Red Plum’s death.”
The sad conversation was suddenly filled with sharpness because of Commissioner Cai’s words. He was a retired veteran who had stepped into middle age. As the Tongzhou City Public Security Bureau Director, Commissioner Cai looked at Princ.i.p.al Chen with a deep gaze. “Brother, I came here to tell Ye Jian that her mother died because someone revealed her ident.i.ty.”
The firewood was still burning brightly. The heat emitted from it made people feel warm and comfortable.. Occasionally, sparks would fly, and the sparks would flash across the flames for a short while before disappearing
