Chapter 1270 - 760: Captain Feng, Why Are You Here?
"Xiao Jing, Ye’er just turned twenty this year, a typical age for young people to enjoy a carefree campus life.
However, besides being a student, Ye’er is also a soldier. Since her sophomore year, she has to participate in some military tasks. Throughout the year, the times we can see her are really rare.
This time, her sudden return is probably a hard-earned holiday. She hasn’t been home for a year, how could she not be eager to see us?
If it were you, Xiao Jing, you’d do the same thing, wouldn’t you?" Seeing Jing Chen’s silence, Grandpa Luo explained in more detail.
Luo Ye looked at Grandpa Luo with a bit of surprise. Living with her parents these years, Grandpa was also very clear about many things. Things like Luo Ye’s identity, he basically wouldn’t tell others. Today’s action really made her a bit puzzled.
"Grandpa Luo..." Jing Chen paused slightly, a smile in his eyes, "Grandpa Luo, I was a bit impatient and spoke without understanding. Turning to Wen Xin and Luo Ye, "Aunt Wen, Sister Ye’er, it was my rashness, I’m really sorry."
"It’s nothing, it’s nothing, Auntie’s attitude just now wasn’t great either, I apologize to you." Remembering her somewhat unfriendly attitude earlier, Wen Xin felt a bit embarrassed.
"I won’t disturb Grandpa Luo and Aunt Wen’s family reunion, I came home to get some documents, and it turned out..." Jing Chen gave an awkward smile, standing up, looking like a completely different person from the aggressive one before.
After seeing off Jing Chen, before Luo Ye could speak, the old man spoke first: "Ye’er, are you wondering why I told him the truth?"
"A little bit confused indeed." Luo Ye nodded in acknowledgment.
Grandpa Luo sighed: "I’ve been by your parents’ side all these years, and I’ve come to understand some of the intricacies. It’s rare to find a political team like Secretary Jing and your dad that gets along so well.
Jing Chen returned from studying abroad, so in some matters, he handles them more directly, which, in our terms, is being a bit too serious and not knowing how to be flexible.
Actually, he’s much better now than he was in the beginning. At first, if he saw anything slightly improper in the yard, he insisted on making the person admit their mistake.
Others, because he’s the son of the Secretary’s family, naturally wouldn’t dare to openly fall out with him, but secretly, they’d call him a fake foreign devil. I think he could hear some rumors himself.
The rare thing is, when he confronts people, he never holds grudges. At critical times, he’d do his best to help out, so earlier, I held him back.
With his character, if he went back angry, ten to one he wouldn’t figure it out. By night or the next day, he’d come to stir things up again. If such a small matter made Secretary Jing aware, it wouldn’t be good.
Xiao Jing is a reasonable child. To make him lay off, telling him the truth is the easiest way to solve the problem. After all, with his identity, he wouldn’t go around telling people, right, Grandpa?"
"Grandpa..." Hearing Grandpa’s analysis, Luo Ye felt a sourness in her heart. Given Grandpa’s nature, he really doesn’t like manipulating people, but these years being by Dad’s side, he’s had to force himself to do some things he naturally dislikes.
"Dad, I didn’t think it through." Wen Xin also showed a face of guilt. These years, her husband’s career has been going extremely smoothly, with reliable left and right hands, so she became more and more relaxed.
Thinking about how leaving it as is for Jing Chen to leave today would have been terribly impolite indeed!
"Mom, you and Grandpa don’t need to get caught up in this. Even if I wasn’t in the right today, he shouldn’t have been so aggressively persistent with you. By the way, what is he doing now? With that personality, politics surely wouldn’t suit him, and I doubt Uncle Jing would let him go into politics, right?"
"You child." Wen Xin laughed and touched her daughter’s head, "Xiao Jing is a journalist for the Daily."
Luo Ye pouted: "That job does suit him pretty well, but I figure Uncle Jing must somewhat regret sending him abroad."
Wen Xin agreed wholeheartedly with her daughter’s words, so she immediately concurred: "Xiao Jing’s intentions are indeed good, but being too inflexible really doesn’t fit with the conditions in our country."
"Grandpa, have you been feeling a bit bored lately?" Luo Ye changed the subject.
Grandpa Luo smiled and shook his head: "Grandpa’s not bored. When there’s nothing to do, I take Song Qiu for a stroll, everyone likes it, so they come and chat with me and play with it. Now, Grandpa is becoming more and more familiar with the people in the courtyard, otherwise, how would I know what’s up with Xiao Jing."
