Chapter 867: The Appraisal Results

He barely ate a few bites before he made an excuse to go get the wine.

There was no need for him to personally fetch the wine.

Li Jian didn’t stop him.

He has always had a begrudging affection for his younger brother; otherwise, over the years, he wouldn’t have worn himself out in the military to pursue the freedom Yaen Chi longed for.

As long as he achieves more merits, Grandpa will think less of Yaen Chi, especially when remembering the brilliance Yaen Chi once showed in the military; those big deeds he accomplished under a hidden identity made several countries wary.

However, this time Li Jian letting Yeh Hannian go touched the superiors’ reverse scale.

If he were dismissed and investigated, and suspended from duty, among his peers, only Yaen Chi could step up.

Once the day comes when he’s called back to Beijing, Yaen Chi’s life of a playboy, filled with drunken singing and partying, would come to an end.

Downstairs.

No one mentioned the results of the evaluation while eating.

After they were full, Ye Jun finally took out three copies of the evaluation results.

“I’ve done the evaluations between you and second uncle, second uncle and Shiqing, and you and Shiqing, here are the results, would you like to take a look yourself?”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t lift her eyes, she wiped her mouth, “No need, just tell me directly.”

Ye Jun looked at her for a moment, not noticing any sign of emotion from her, no expectations, nor fear.

It seemed the documents in front of her were just ordinary papers.

“You are the biological daughter of second uncle.”

Nan Jiaojiao raised her head.

Ye Jun said, “Shiqing and second uncle do not have a father-daughter relationship, nor are you and Shiqing sisters.

Just in case, I’ve also done an evaluation on Shiqing and second aunt, the results show no mother-daughter relationship as well.”

Nan Jiaojiao laughed, “Why not do a match between me and her too?”

“Her” refers to Lin Shuyun.

Calling her by a third person term instead of ‘mother,’ such a term from any child could be seen as unfilial.

Ye Jun knew how second aunt treated her, thus felt no reproach, only guilt.

“There’s no need for that, Jiaojiao, you are indeed a child of the Ye family, this fact cannot be changed.”

“Indeed, cannot be changed.”

Nan Jiaojiao said self-mockingly, “How come I feel so bad, I had hoped there was no connection between us.”

“You’re the first one to know this result, tonight, I will bring it back to the Ye family, everyone will know that only you belong to the second branch.

As for Shiqing, I will find an appropriate way to arrange for her, you may choose to move back to the Ye family home, with me around, no one will dare neglect you.

But if you don’t want to—”

“I don’t want to.” Nan Jiaojiao said without a trace of hesitation.

Ye Jun nodded, having expected it, “Alright, you can live outside, whether you wish to interact with the Ye family members is entirely up to you, but one thing, do not sever ties with me, if you need anything, just say the word.”

Nan Jiaojiao looked at him, a smile on her face, but the smile was more superficial than heartfelt.

“Understood.”

This response was mere lip service.

Ye Jun still wanted to say something, but found himself at a loss for words.

Moreover, saying too much would make him seem verbose, and she might not be keen on listening.

He simply asked, “Are you full, should I order a few more pastries?”

“No need, I’m quite full, please send me back.”

“Back?”

Ye Jun was quite surprised, but considering her temperament, nothing she did was surprising.

Out of goodwill, he taught her about social etiquette.

“Mr.

Bo has invited you, since there are friends you know with him, even if you don’t sit down for a meal, it would be good to greet them before leaving, so that people won’t think you’re impolite.”
