2661 Caught Off Guard
Princ.i.p.al Chen was extremely shocked. He couldn’t react in time.
Since the DNA test was done, there was no need to suspect anything. He was definitely Ye Jian’s father.
How did Ye Jian… find her biological father?
“There are many things that I couldn’t explain clearly on the phone. I came back in a hurry on May 1st and wanted to talk to you. Who knew that I would have something to do and had to leave the Southern Province at the last minute? I’m sorry, Uncle Chen. I didn’t tell you about it immediately.” Ye Jian saw Princ.i.p.al Chen’s rare shock and felt a little nervous.
!!
This was such an important matter… but she didn’t tell Uncle Chen about it because of her scruples. She felt guilty toward Uncle Chen.
Before she found her grandpa and father, Uncle Chen had always been her closest relative. If anything happened, she should tell Uncle Chen immediately. Moreover, she had said before that if anything happened in the future, she would tell him immediately.
In the end, she didn’t manage to keep her promise.
Princ.i.p.al Chen knew Ye Jian well. When he heard her apologize, he knew that Ye Jian felt guilty toward him. He raised his hand and smiled as he helped her adjust her b.u.t.tons. He sighed and said, “There’s no need to apologize to me. You’ve always been reliable. I know your style of doing things. You’re stable and don’t dare to make any mistakes.
“I know why you didn’t tell me immediately. It’s because you had all kinds of scruples and couldn’t confirm it at the last moment. It’s expected that you wouldn’t have told anyone after reuniting with your father.”
Moreover, there was Martyr Sun Xueqing in the middle of them. Ye Jian always thought that her biological father abandoned her mother. Abandoning his wife and daughter was a huge blow to Ye Jian. He was certain that even if Ye Jian knew who her biological father was, she wouldn’t meet him easily.
There was a knot in her heart. She needed to cut it off before she could accept her biological father.
The girl in front of him had clear eyebrows and bright eyes. There was no gloominess in her eyes. It was obvious that everything had been settled. She felt at ease and so came to report the good news to him happily.
This honest girl didn’t tell him the news immediately, but it was because she was taking responsibility for the matter and didn’t want him to worry.
“If you don’t tell me something, I know there’ll always be a reason for that. I don’t need your ‘sorry’. I just hope that you’ll be fine.” Princ.i.p.al Chen tidied Ye Jian’s collar again. Not bad. She was clean and valiant. Just like her biological father, she was an indomitable soldier.
Hearing that, Ye Jian was so touched that her eyes were glistening.
Her closest relatives always understood her well. No matter how wrong she was, they would choose to forgive her.
She didn’t tell Uncle Chen immediately because she had many worries.
She was afraid that her biological father wouldn’t acknowledge her. She was afraid that even though she knew that her father didn’t abandon her mother on purpose, she still couldn’t accept him. She was even more afraid that even though they were biological father and daughter, they were worse than strangers in front of each other.
In her past life, she had been through too many obstacles. That was why she had developed a personality like this. In this life, she had thought of changing her personality. However, whenever something big happened, she would still choose to hide the news first.
Also, at that time, if Captain Xia hadn’t accompanied her to face it, she might not have taken the step of reuniting with her biological father. She would’ve stubbornly locked herself in her world and thought that her father abandoned his wife and daughter on purpose.
