Chapter 2236 Quite Awkward
Ye Jian’s gaze crossed his face slightly, but the word “brother” still couldn’t be blurted out immediately.
The Devil King was her captain during her training period. She had been scolded and yelled fiercely by him. The cold image of the Devil King Li had already been carved deep in her mind. There was an unspeakable subtlety awkwardness in her heart if she had to call him “Brother” now.
The old man immersed in grief noticed Ye Jian’s pause. His mirror-like heart understood the situation, but he couldn’t say it; he couldn’t force his granddaughter, whom he only knew existed, to recognize all of them as her family just when she had just come home after twenty years.
He couldn’t do it, let alone dared to do it.
Today, she had called him “Grandpa,” and this alone had given him a huge surprise. However, they would still need some time to build relationships.
“Good child, what happened back then was our fault. We have made your mother suffer. It was all our fault, all our fault…” The old gentleman didn’t want his granddaughter, who finally returned home, to be sad. His face was deeply wrinkled and solemn as he spoke to Ye Jian, “A mistake is a mistake, no matter how long the time has passed. We must admit our mistake!”
Although all the past events had passed, the damage left behind would not disappear just because the incidents had happened in the past. If one made a mistake, one should admit it and know how to change!
Ye Jian lightly shook her head and comforted the old man, “I already know what happened back then, Grandpa, you are not wrong, my mother is not wrong, and… my father is not wrong, neither of you is wrong. It was just not the right time that had made us miss each other.”
“Relax, I really don’t have any resentment. I won’t hide it, I used to have hatred before, but now I don’t anymore. Knowing that you have been looking for my mother, knowing that when my grandmother and aunt passed away, they still thought of my mother, and knowing that my father had never gotten married because of my mother, what else can I resent or hate?”
“Nothing, there’s nothing more. It’s not that you guys didn’t want me and my mother, but we just missed each other…; I don’t resent or hate you all. I’m only happy now. I didn’t expect that I would have a grandpa and a dad. I never thought that I would have blood relatives. I never really expected all these…, but now I have them. I really have no more hate, no more complaints; I’m only happy. Grandpa, I’m happy, very, very happy.”
While Ye Jian spoke, the tears that could not be stopped “rushed” out of her eye sockets again.
Two lives, it took her two lives to finally have blood relatives, to have a true family. The tears that had stopped earlier came rolling down her cheeks again, but this time they were no longer full of sadness but full of happiness.
She was so happy!
As soon as she cried, the old man couldn’t control the grief in his heart. Tears flickered in his wise eyes, the pair of eyes that had seen all kinds of things in this world. He held Ye Jian’s hands tightly, and his voice trembled intermittently as he repeated, “Good child, good child, thank you, thank you.”
Pure goodness and righteousness. Thanks to her mother’s well-raise, he could finally see his only granddaughter. When he went to heaven next time, he could tell his old wife this good news; he could tell her that they had such a good granddaughter, a very, very good granddaughter!
The old and the young cried again. When it seemed like they were not going to stop, Li Jinnian took a glance at Xia Jinyuan and signaled him to persuade Ye Jian a little bit. In contrast, he persuaded the old gentleman, “Grandfather, if you keep crying, I will have to call a doctor to check on you.”
On the other side, Xia Jinyuan whispered to Ye Jian, “The old Sir is in poor health. You will only make him feel sadder if you keep crying, Little Fox. Today is a good day. Let’s not cry anymore. Come on, smile.”
