Chapter 5085: A Tree With Deep Roots
Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Jinnian was a person who didn’t show his emotions. In addition, many years of being a soldier had trained his personality to be calmer and more tolerant.
He was clearly furious deep down, but there was no anger on his face or in his words. He calmly persuaded Old Master Fu and accompanied him for a walk in the small courtyard. Gradually, Old Master Fu’s expression softened.
After thinking about it carefully, he said, "Your cousin has already graduated and has successfully been transferred to the company. Logically speaking, her worries shouldn’t exist anymore. I should let the outside world know that your cousin is my granddaughter.
"At first, I thought that since your cousin and uncle are both soldiers and soldiers need to keep a low profile when they do things outside, there’s no need to be too ostentatious. Now, it looks like I’ve thought too much.
"The Fu family wants to keep a low profile, but others are riding on your cousin’s head. They really think that your cousin is an orphan with no one to rely on!
"I have to have a good chat with the Xia family and see when I can announce your cousin’s identity. I don’t feel good about her having to hide her identity even after coming home for so many years."
Today, Ye Jian was slandered by Mrs. Qin. Old Master Fu’s heart ached so much that it was as though it was bleeding. "She suffered so much outside and was even criticized by unrelated people. Jinnian, your cousin has suffered too much!"
Li Jinnian knew the reason why they didn’t acknowledge Ye Jian immediately. Later on, because the Li family kept investigating who killed Li Chuhai, they could only delay it for Ye Jian’s sake. Old Master Fu didn’t even tell his good friends.
Today, he saw Ye Jian being humiliated with his own eyes. Old Master Fu really didn’t want to endure it anymore.
Li Jinnian knew that Old Master Fu was sad, but he couldn’t mess up the arrangements because of a moment of anger.
Li Jinnian helped Old Master Fu to the pavilion. After he sat down, Li Jinnian massaged Old Master Fu’s shoulders and said slowly, "As long as the Li family is still around, once we acknowledge Ye JIan, she’ll undoubtedly become the Li family’s number one suspect. At that time, with Old Master Li’s connections, it’ll be easy for him to find out anything. Ye Jian will be in harm’s way.
"When I came back, I received a call from the Li family. A year ago, my father secretly invited a rehabilitation team back from overseas. It’s said that the old master can take a few steps now and speak much more fluently than before. Based on the current situation, he can still last for a few more years.
"Before we find out who killed Li Chuhai, before we find out if Aunt left any descendants behind, he won’t let himself fall so easily."
He was referring to Old Master Li.
Old Master Fu, who was sitting down, frowned slightly. "He can actually get off the bed? Why didn’t I hear of it?"
"You have many things on your plate, and you’re an honorary professor in a university. It’s normal that you don’t know what’s happening outside." If it weren’t for Old Master Fu wanting to reveal Ye Jian’s identity, Li Jinnian wouldn’t have told him these things. "The Li family doesn’t lack money or people. As long as a patient is willing to work hard, there are many cases of patients getting back on their feet."
Old Master Fu didn’t say anything else. However, there was a hint of seriousness in his peaceful expression.
There was a buzzing sound from his cell phone. Li Jinnian took out the cell phone he carried with him and looked at the caller ID. There was a faint smile in his cold eyes. "The son-in-law you like is calling. Do you want to talk to him? My cousin should be by his side."
