"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."
