Chapter 2230: Like A Wild Goose Returning To Its Home
As Li Jinnian stepped aside, Ye Jian could see the old gentleman more clearly. The old gentleman could also see the quiet and picturesque girl standing under the sun with picturesque eyebrows and a shallow smile.
Suddenly, after passing through several centuries, passing through several cycles, finally, he had managed to wait till this day for this meeting, for this pair of eyes. Even the wind couldn’t bear to interrupt their gaze; everything just stopped, everything just became silent.
Sir Fu, who was supported by his grandson, looked at Ye Jian and asked Li Jinnian, “Where did you find such a beautiful girl? This is the first time you bring a girl back for me.”
Perhaps he felt something was up, so Sir Fu’s hands on the crutches suddenly trembled, and he said, “This young lady you brought today, why do I feel that she is so familiar? Jinnian, have I seen this girl before?”
Upon hearing these words, Ye Jian, who had finally calmed down, met the old gentleman’s kind eyes, her heart suddenly palpitated, and her heart rate soared instantly.
It seemed that a seed suddenly fell in her chest, and it took root with a “slap,” taking out the sprouts, and started growing crazily, making her chest feel as if it was about to explode.
That feeling, like a fallen leaf returning to its roots, like a wild goose returning to its nest, and like a boat returning to its harbor…
“Let me go out and take a look. I’m too far away; I can’t see clearly.” The old man was old, so his eyesight was not as good as before. He also had cataract surgery in his left eye two years ago, so there were some double images when seeing people. He seemed to be asking for proof as he grabbed Li Jinnian’s arm a little bit impatiently and said in a hurry, “Quickly, ask Little Liu to get my glasses. There’s plenty of sunlight outside, I have to take a good look. This child… I must have seen her before; I have seen her before.”
Before taking his glasses, the old gentleman, who was in a hurry, stepped out of the door with his cane.
The rickety figure trembled and staggered; Ye Jian’s heart felt as if it was going to jump out of her throat in the next second. She didn’t think much about it. However, seeing the old gentleman stepping tremblingly towards her, there was a kind of invincible strength that suddenly pushed her, making her take several steps forward… Then she stopped abruptly, stood on the spot, and stared at the old gentleman who came out from the door, motionless.
Li Jinnian was afraid that he would fall, so he steadily supported him and said, “Slow down. Uncle Liu brought your glasses for you. Put your glasses on first.”
The housekeeper who took care of the old man’s daily life quickly took care of the old man. Li Jinnian did not ask him to wait with them. Instead, he asked him to return to the house first. It was enough that he and Ye Jian were here.
The old gentleman, who had a full view of Ye Jian’s every move, put on his glasses. When he looked up, he could clearly see why the girl standing under the sun was so familiar.
This kid…how could he not be familiar with this kid?
How could he not recognize this child who looked like his daughter-in-law? Her facial features were like his daughter-in-law’s, and her forehead looked exactly like Yusheng’s forehead. She looked both like his daughter-in-law and his son… How could he not find her familiar?
As he approached step by step, the old gentleman, who stopped at the stairs, waved to Ye Jian, who was only a few steps away, and said kindly, “Come on, kiddo, let Grandpa take a good look at you.”
The old man who had experienced too much trouble in his life probably saw something because tears started flickering in his eyes as he spoke kindly.
There wasn’t the need to say too much nor to make excessive moves. The tears in his calm eyes were already filled with emotions.
