Chapter 1255: Chapter 1255: He Will Let Them Experience What It Means to Draw Water with a Bamboo Basket—All for Nothing

When Xinyan returned to the kitchen, He Jinxuan turned his head and asked, "Who called?"

Xinyan walked up to him and replied with a smile, "Ye Liyan’s dad found them. Liyan said he’ll pack up and return to the Capital soon to handle some affairs. He plans to introduce us."

He Jinxuan didn’t expect Ye Liyan’s dad to actually have been found.

Before the founding of Jian Country, the Ye Family was a prominent clan. They donated a large amount of wealth to support the frontlines, and many of their young men sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.

However, during the major purge, the Ye Family was targeted and suffered miserably.

Later, Ye Wande led away those pursuing them to protect his wife and children. From then on, there was no news of him.

Ye Liyan’s mother endured much hardship raising him, ultimately working herself sick, and passed away when Ye Liyan was sixteen.

If Ye Liyan weren’t a genius in scientific research and highly valued, his circumstances then would have been dire.

When cousin Shen Ninghui married Ye Liyan, He Jinxuan investigated Ye Liyan and learned through special channels that he was a descendant of the Ye Family.

Xinyan noticed his distraction, "What’s wrong?"

He Jinxuan didn’t hide anything, recounting to Xinyan the events honestly, "Their family reunited, but Ninghui suffered."

Xinyan understood He Jinxuan’s feelings, "Fate governs all things; try to look beyond it."

He Jinxuan nodded, "When they return, it’ll be a good time to take them to the cemetery; it should be Ninghui’s memorial day."

On the other side, Mr. Ye held a grandson on each arm, his face full of joy.

Having found his son, he was finally no longer afraid of life and death.

But looking at his two adorable grandsons, he was determined to live, loving these two children immensely and wanting to accompany them as they grow.

Today, he received a phone call from across the ocean, learning of the antics his dear second wife had been involved in; she was indeed quite bold.

He thanked the heavens in his heart that he met Xinyan on the train.

If it weren’t for her, his old life might have ended long ago, especially since Xiao Liu was specially arranged by his second wife to be by his side.

He never thought his second wife would be such a treacherous person, displaying kindness publicly while secretly being ruthless. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Having no news of his son was all due to her sly tactics, truly underestimating her.

Thinking she could covet his belongings would not be easy.

Looking at the grandson in his arms, "Go play by yourselves; Grandpa has something to discuss with your dad."

The two children obediently replied, "Okay."

After they left, Mr. Ye finally spoke, "Son, we’ll return to the Capital as soon as possible, handle your affairs, and temporarily entrust the children to their uncle. You must come with me urgently."

Ye Liyan was somewhat reluctant to follow, acknowledging kinship, but uncomfortable knowing his father remarried there.

Mr. Ye didn’t tell his son he was betrayed at that time but assured him, "In this lifetime, you are my only son; others should never think of touching those things."

His second wife undoubtedly hoped he’d never return, and her nephews were likely celebrating with champagne, but they had miscalculated.

He must act before they do, make a swift return, and catch them off guard.

He will show them what it means to fetch water in a bamboo basket, rejoicing in vain.
