Chapter 5547: Chapter 5547 Announcement

"They arrived before we knew it, and not even Ye Jian had any preparation, let alone... the Qin family who had suddenly become much quieter?"

Old Man Xia patted Ye Jian on the back, gently saying, "You have always been our Fu family’s girl; is there any need for surprise? You’ve been back for a few years, but not even your father’s friends knew he had a daughter. If we continued to keep silent, I feared it would make your father miserable. You’ve also suffered undue hardship."

As Old Master Li approached, the gravest threat to his granddaughter’s future was gone—it was time to speak out!

Upon hearing this, Ye Jian tightly embraced Old Man Xia’s arm and said softly, "Grandpa Gen, I never felt aggrieved. Whether people knew or not, I never took it to heart."

"Silly girl, you may not take it to heart, but your grandpa and your father certainly do. Our family’s precious miss cannot be aggrieved."

Old Man Xia thought of Madam Qin. If it weren’t for the fact that she was a kind person, the remarks she made indirectly about his granddaughter being inferior would have seriously made the old man oust her on the spot.

Despite this, Old Man Xia was still somewhat displeased.

Now, saying it in front of Ambassador Qin Dingkang was also his way of wanting him to go back and properly tell his wife not to speak ill about Ye Jian’s origins again.

The Fu family’s darling girl was not to be gossiped about by just anyone!

Ambassador Qin Dingkang was so shocked that the teacup in his hand trembled, spilling tea, "A daughter? Haven’t you always been at the missile base all these years? You didn’t remarry, so when did you suddenly have such a grown daughter?"

On closer inspection, the girl by Old Man Xia’s side did bear a resemblance to him and the rest of their lives, but how come he had never heard the Fu family mention her before?

"Hahaha, as a married man, do I need to remarry? My daughter is already twenty-three years old; she didn’t just pop out of nowhere."

Chief Engineer Fu knew his childhood friend would be shocked; he looked at Ye Jian with an affectionate gaze and said with a smile, "Ye Jian, my only daughter, returned to our home a few years ago."

"Returned home only a few years ago?" Ambassador Qin Dingkang, always one to focus on key points, said, "Could it be that you didn’t know you had such a grown daughter before? No, that’s right; you actually didn’t know you had a daughter, that’s why she only returned home a few years ago. How could this have happened? Such a serious mistake shouldn’t have occurred!"

Ambassador Qin’s expression had turned somewhat grim, "A daughter raised outside all this time, and as her father, you didn’t even know. Sun Xueqing, you’ve truly let down your own child."

A child without a father by their side—Qin Dingkang knew very well the many hardships a child would endure.

Like his son and daughter, who also suffered hardships when they were young. They were from the Qin family and still faced hardships, let alone Ye Jian, who was raised outside the family.

Speaking of his daughter’s hardships made Chief Engineer Fu lose his smile, "The situation is complicated to explain; I’ll fill you in another day. An Jiaxin has been with us for a few years now, but she’s been busy, and so have I. There are also some special reasons that aren’t good to mention, which is why I haven’t had the chance to share this good news with everyone."

Ambassador Qin Dinghai laughed, "Sharing it now is still wonderful news!"

"You’re right, brother; Sun Xueqing, as I see it, this is a joyous occasion that definitely calls for a grand feast!" Qin Dingbo agreed, feeling happy just hearing about such great news.

Then he turned to look at Ye Jian, and because of the close relationship between the two families, he directly asked, "I don’t know if my niece has found a partner? If not..."

Perhaps consider our Qin Yi? He didn’t get to finish his sentence before Ambassador Qin Dinghai gave him a stern glare, and the unspoken words were swallowed back down.
