NovelEnglishChapter 2214: Ye Jian, This Is Your Father
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ye Jian’s expression changed a little.
The young man and woman in the photo were cuddled up to each other. They were wearing old-fashioned military uniforms. Their heads were leaning against each other. They looked like they were taking wedding photos.
A thought had already flashed through her mind. She chose to avoid it and not think too deeply about it.

Ye Jian suppressed her doubts and looked up. Her eyes were cold as she asked calmly, “Why do you think the woman in the photo is my mother?”
Her reaction was a little unusual. Li Jinnian frowned and looked at Ye Jian sharply. When she took the photo just now, her reaction was not the same as when she was speaking to him now.
She was clearly shocked, but now, she was very calm.
Was she testing him? Or did she not want to know who her father was at all?
Li Jinnian’s eyes darkened when he thought of her father’s name in her file. However, he couldn’t blame Ye Jian. If his aunt hadn’t told Ye Jian about her background, she really wouldn’t have known that her biological father was someone else.
“Ye Jian, she’s your mother. Don’t you even know your own mother?” She even refused to acknowledge her own mother now. Li Jinnian immediately realized how troublesome the matter was. If he told the truth, she would definitely deny it.
This was not the outcome he wanted!
The young woman in the photo was his aunt whom her maternal grandfather’s family had never seen before. The young man was his uncle who had only returned to his maternal grandfather’s family when he was 10 years old.
As Li Jinnian didn’t understand what Ye Jian was thinking, he didn’t dare to tell her the truth. He was afraid that if he said it, Ye Jian wouldn’t be able to accept it for a while. Instead, he would push her farther and farther away.
“No, that’s impossible.” Ye Jian didn’t even want to take the photo anymore. She quickly stuffed the photo into Li Jinnian’s hand and smiled faintly. “Captain Li, there are all kinds of strange things in the world. It’s normal for the two people to look alike. I admit that the woman in the photo does look like my mother, but she’s really not my mother. You’re mistaken.
“I’m sure you’ve read my file. I have my own mom and dad, but they’re both deceased. So, Captain Li, you’ve got the wrong person.”

He slowly put the photo back in his pocket. Just from this small gesture, one could tell that he especially cherished this photo.
Her reaction was too great. It was not a reaction that showed she was unable to accept it for now but a reaction of disgust.
How could she be disgusted?
Even if they did not know each other, it should not be to the extent of disgust.
He had been rash to suddenly tell her without investigating the matter properly.
Initially, he wanted to talk to Xia Jinyuan first. However, when he saw Ye Jian, he thought of his maternal grandfather who could not go anywhere and could only walk around the house. He thought of his maternal grandmother, who had passed away regretfully. Then, he thought of what his mother had told him before she passed away. No matter how calm he was, he could not help but feel emotional.
Last night, when he went to his maternal grandfather’s house and played a game of chess with him, the old man, who had calmly faced all kinds of mental and physical blows in the past, sighed at him and said, “The light of a mulberry tree can’t be seen from afar. I hope the light of the rising sun can be seen clearly.” That moment made him sad.
Blocking Ye Jian, who was about to return to the ward, Li Jinnian said calmly, “Ye Jian, can you listen to a story? It’s a long story. Can you only leave after hearing it?”
