The Most Beautiful Years Met You [229] Countdown to the Finale Nine
Ye Jiming's voice was sonorous and firm as he delivered the final verdict.
He disagreed and did not agree to let a man who was once his granddaughter's uncle be his grandson-in-law.
Maybe this is the traditional concept of the elders.
I want my children and grandchildren to have a happy marriage, but I don’t want my children and grandchildren to have a complicated relationship. Before I have time to be happy, I have already begun to encounter pressure from public opinion.
This is probably also the current national situation of China, which attaches great importance to ethics, even if they are not related by blood.
Ye Hehuan did not avoid Ye Jiming's stern eyes, and tried to keep his tone calm: "If grandpa doesn't ask tonight, I will tell you. In the past six years, I have thought very clearly. From childhood to adulthood, I
I have never asked you for anything. Only this time, I hope you will meet him before making a conclusion."
Ye Hehuan was talking to Ye Jiming, and he had never quit so formally.
Ye Jiming looked at her stubborn look and said nothing.
Before going home, Ye Hehuan had prepared for the worst and had some idea of the situation before him. But when it came to this point, he felt like a fish stranded on the beach, feeling uncomfortable in his chest.
This is also the reason why she didn't let Yu Zhongxiao enter Ye's house tonight.
With her family on one side and the man she loves on the other, she didn't want to see Yu Zhongxiao fall into an embarrassing situation.
He is not an eloquent person. When faced with the unfriendly questioning from her family, even if he is concerned about her, he will not refute with words. He will only silently accept all the harsh criticism and even humiliation...
In the living room, this silent stalemate has been maintained.
Ye Zhimin suddenly broke the silence. She nudged Lu Jinyan next to her: "Didn't you say that after finishing second in the exam, you want to show your report card to grandpa? Go to the car and get your schoolbag."
Lu Jinyan said oh, looked at this, then that, then slowly got up and went out.
When the door closed, Ye Zhimin withdrew his eyes from Ye Hehuan and said to Ye Jiming: "Dad, since we have reached this point, just like Huanhuan said, you first--"
"Have you known this for a long time?" Ye Jiming asked her.
Ye Zhimin was speechless, but her expression said everything.
Ye Jiming glanced at Ye Zanwen beside him again, realizing that he was the last insider. He immediately thought of the child that Ye Hehuan lost six years ago, and what she said just now, 'in the past six years', the two of them have been like this.
After getting on the bed, his heart stirred slightly, and he asked: "Huanhuan, tell grandpa honestly, was that child his?"
"..."
Ye Hehuan was already feeling a little irritated, "What does this have to do with the present?"
Ye Jiming saw her rejection of this question, "If you want grandpa to accept him, then answer grandpa's question seriously."
After a long time, Ye Hehuan finally said: "Yes."
Ye Jiming nodded and began to ask her: "When did you get together?"
Ye Hehuan felt as if she had stepped into a swamp, sinking deeper every time she struggled, but she had no choice but to continue struggling.
She might still have a chance to survive, but if she gave up, she would be suffocated and die.
So she answered truthfully: "When I was in military training in college."
"He was already divorced by that time?"
"Yeah." Ye Hehuan's voice was a bit hoarse: "He just came back from Tibet and became the chief instructor of our military training for freshmen."
Ye Jiming had heard a little bit about Yu Zhongxiao's previous marriage. After all, it was indeed a big fuss at that time, but he had never really come into contact with Yu Zhongxiao, but perhaps he was eager to protect his calf and heard Ye Hehuan's unadulterated answers.
, he could not accept such a grandson-in-law without grudges for a while.
Ye Jiming said: "You have been in contact before then?"
"……No."
University military training only lasts for twenty days.
Ye Jiming could no longer define this relationship as a rational and well-thought-out relationship. He put his hands on his trouser legs and moved his palms slightly. After a moment, he said: "If I remember correctly, he was born in December."
When you arrived, did you go to Yunnan to handle work?"
"right."
Ye Hehuan felt as if her throat was filled with lead, and every word she spoke almost exhausted all her strength.
Seeing Ye Jiming's silence, she took the initiative to speak: "I mentioned the breakup, but he didn't agree at the time. Later, because of me, he became distracted during the mission."
Ye Jiming and Yu Zhanming knew each other, and it was impossible not to know that Yu Zhanming's son was shot and seriously injured a few years ago.
…
For a long time, Ye Jiming took a sip of tea. When he put down the teacup, his voice sounded in the living room: "Huanhuan, grandpa's answer has not changed."
"...separate from him."
Ye Hehuan looked at Ye Jiming who was getting up. Her eyes felt warm and she kept clenching her hands hanging by her sides.
"Grandpa doesn't want to make any comments about him, because he doesn't understand him well, and he won't completely deny this person just because of his relationship with you. But there is one thing that Grandpa needs to tell you. In Grandpa's heart, he is not the candidate for his grandson-in-law."
Ye Jiming saw her pale face, but he did not soften his heart: "I don't want my granddaughter to live in other people's after-dinner conversations every day, and your relationship itself is immature. In terms of age, he is older than you."
Less, and I seek stability more emotionally than you... You are a smart child. No matter how much you say, grandpa doesn’t want to say it anymore.
Because grandpa believes that you will figure it all out by yourself."
After saying that, Ye Jiming asked Ye Zhimin to go upstairs to the study with Ye Zanwen.
Failing to report their knowledge is a way of settling the scores later.
When he reached the stairs, Ye Jiming stopped again.
He seemed to have remembered something, turned around and said, "As for coming to the house, just pretend that we haven't mentioned it because there is no need for it anymore."
There were sounds one after another on the corridor, and after a while, Ye Hehuan was the only one left in the living room.
She was still standing there motionless, holding a white bag in her hand.
Ye Hehuan stared at the tea utensils on the tea table, a sourness flowed directly from the bottom of her throat to her nose, and her vision was a little blurry.
…
Lu Jinyan knew that the adults had something to say, so he deliberately pulled himself away, so he hung around outside for a while before entering the house with his heavy schoolbag.
As a result, when I came in, I only saw Ye Hehuan standing there.
He looked towards the stairs, scratched the back of his head, and walked to Ye Hehuan. When he saw that Ye Hehuan looked wrong, he called tentatively: "Sister, are you okay?"
Ye Hehuan came back to his senses, turned around and saw him, and seemed to wake up instantly.
She raised her hand and touched Lu Jinyan's head, then looked at his schoolbag: "You came in second place? What gift do you want? I'll buy it for you in a few days."
"I'm not a child anymore." Lu Jinyan waved his hands, sat down on the sofa, and turned to look at her while taking things from his schoolbag: "Yan Yan, I have missed you very much these past two days."
"Yeah?"
Ye Hehuan smiled, but didn't have much energy to continue the discussion with him, "Sister, go upstairs first. If anything happens, just shout."
Before Ye Hehuan came back, Lu Jinyan had been listening to the corner for a while and also knew about her and Yu Zhongxiao. He pursed his lips and didn't know what he was thinking. When Ye Hehuan turned around and was about to go upstairs, he suddenly
He called out to her: "Sister, I have something to tell you."
Ye Hehuan turned around and looked at his little cousin in confusion: "What's the matter?"
Lu Jinyan asked first: "Have you reconciled with that uncle?"
Ye Hehuan knew that he was referring to Yu Zhongxiao and nodded. Lu Jinyan even knew about their affairs earlier than Ye Zhimin, so there was nothing to hide.
Lu Jinyan hugged his big schoolbag.
He was deeply entangled in his heart, and what he recalled in his mind was the secret he had accidentally glimpsed many years ago——
After school that day, he went to the hospital to accompany Ye Zhimin, but Ye Zhimin was not in the ward. His stomach suddenly hurt. He didn't even have time to put down his schoolbag, so he rushed directly into the bathroom of the ward. When he was about to stand up with his pants, there was a sound outside.
He heard the voices of Ye Zhimin and Han Minjing talking.
"This arrangement is the best now. She is only twenty years old now, and she is still a child. How can she take care of another child? Even if she can take care of it, this child will receive all kinds of strange looks when he grows up...
…”
Later, the bathroom door suddenly opened.
When she saw him, Han Minjing also fell silent for an instant, and her face changed slightly.
Ye Zhimin, on the other hand, came over and slapped him on the butt, scolding him: "Hide here silently to scare people. Who taught you this bad habit?!"
Lu Jinyan was only eight years old at that time, and he seemed to understand what Han Minjing said, but because he didn't understand, he subconsciously remembered these words.
Later, as I grew older, many things became apparent...
Lu Jinyan looked at Ye Hehuan, who was still waiting there, with a distressed look on his face, and opened his mouth, "Sister, there is something I have always wanted to tell you. In fact, Yan Yan—"
"Have you done your homework?" Lu Jinyan was interrupted by a question coming from the stairwell.
He turned his head and saw Ye Zhimin on the jogging platform, and immediately shut his mouth.
Ye Zhimin moved his eyes away from his son and turned to look at Ye Hehuan: "Huanhuan, come up."
