Now that his only granddaughter was back, Old Master Fu was more happy than sad.

Good child, good child. This was the Fu family’s good child…

“Although life was a little bitter when I was young, which family wasn’t bitter back then? Everyone’s the same, so I didn’t feel that it was bitter. Besides, compared to your previous life, none of our lives can be considered bitter. Don’t cry anymore. Crying too much hurts the eyes.”

Ye Jian was just saying nice things. She just casually brushed off the hardships she had suffered at Ye Zhifan’s house when she was young. This made the old man’s heart ache even more.

The old man, who had lost control of his emotions, looked at Ye Jian without blinking. Hearing her comforting words, not only did he not feel comfortable, but he also felt sad.

Why was the Fu family not only blind but also blind in their hearts? How could they let such a sensible child wander alone outside? ‘Fu Yusheng, Fu Yusheng, you’re really a bastard!

‘You didn’t notice that your fiancée was pregnant?’

The old man, who felt guilty, was a little angry again. Li Jinnian, who was guarding at the side, was so worried that he secretly clenched his fists.

Seeing the old man turn away, Li Jinnian, whose eyes were red, gently stroked his back. “Take a rest first. If you cry, Ye Jian will cry too.”

Facing the sad and guilty old man, Ye Jian felt so sad that she felt uneasy. She held his thin hands tightly and said softly, “Grandpa, let’s not cry anymore…”

Initially, she thought that it would be difficult to say the word ‘Grandpa’. However, when she really said it, she realized that it was actually very simple. Before the shocked old man could react, Ye Jian said, “Grandpa, if you continue to cry, I won’t dare to talk to you anymore.”

Hearing her so sincerely call out ‘Grandpa’ twice finally brought the old man back to his senses. He was too shocked and excited. The last bit of distance between the grandfather and granddaughter was finally broken by Ye Jian’s form of address. There was no longer any sense of unfamiliarity.

“Good, good, good…” The old man repeated the same word. Grandpa… This child called him ‘Grandpa’. How could this child’s heart be so pure and kind? How could she forgive him so easily?

“Good child, don’t be afraid of me being sad. I know that you’re just trying to coax me and make me feel at ease. I know it in his heart. I can’t take back the pain you suffered in the past, but in the future, I won’t let you suffer alone. If anything happens, we’ll shoulder it together and face it together.”

“Also, when your father comes back, let him apologize to you properly. It was all his fault back then that he made a child like you suffer. No, he still has to apologize to your mother. As a man, he should be beaten! He should be scolded!

“20 years. It took me 20 whole years to find out about you, child. If you’re unhappy, tell me all your grievances. I deserve it.”

“I’m really not dissatisfied. Don’t think too much about it. What happened back then…” Ye Jian looked at Li Jinnian, who had been nervous about the old man’s health. She wondered if she should call him ‘Cousin’. If she called him that, then so be it. The Demon King was her cousin, after all.

Li Jinnian, who had been listening, saw that she was silent and looking at him. He seemed to have guessed something and smiled. He waited for Ye Jian to speak again.
