Chapter 3066 What Should We Do
Ye Jian’s forehead was covered in a cold sweat. She stammered, “It’s… It’s not that he had that intention. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. We got together because I had the same intention too.”
Li Jinnian glared at her coldly. They had not even gotten married, yet she was already speaking up for Xia Jinyuan.
Ye Jian felt guilty when she looked at him. She lowered her head and didn’t dare to raise it for a long time.
“No matter how reasonable Uncle is, he’ll be angry because you fell in love so early. I admit that Xia Jinyuan treats you very well, but it’s not like we can’t find another man who’ll treat you as well as he does.
“You guys have been through so many storms. You should receive Uncle’s support. However, Cousin, it’s too early for things to happen between you and him.
“You have to take a good look at the Fu family’s rules when you go back.”
Family rules?
Take a good look at the family’s rules? Why wasn’t it mentioned before that there were such rules?
Puzzled, Ye Jian looked up at Li Jinnian.
Since she didn’t understand, Li Jinnian explained to her, “Do you know why the Fu family experienced so much? Even though so many people let Grandpa down in the past, Grandpa has never hated them.
“It’s because of the Fu family’s family rules. Every member of the Fu family has to memorize them. We have to abide by all the family rules. Why has Uncle been so deeply in love with Aunt despite it being decades? It’s also because of the Fu family’s rules.
“Why can’t we fall in love before we reach adulthood? It’s also because of the Fu family’s rules.”
Ye Jian was dumbfounded. She had lived for two lifetimes, but this was the first time Ye Jian heard that there were family rules that needed to be memorized. She thought that they were just rules.
“Although my surname is Li, the Li family is a place where the strong prey on the weak. Ever since I was born, my grandmother and grandfather discussed bringing me back to the Fu family to raise me. From the moment I started speaking, I had to memorize the Fu family’s rules. It can be said that the Fu family’s rules had a huge impact on me, so I didn’t become like the Li family.”
Ye Jian, who just found out that the Fu family had family rules, was even more worried about Xia Jinyuan now. He hadn’t returned.
“Cousin, when I was dating Captain Xia, I… didn’t know about the existence of the Fu family. I didn’t know that I was Grandpa’s granddaughter, let alone the Fu family’s rules. Hence, you can’t use the Fu family’s rules against me or Captain Xia.” Ye Jian pursed her lips slightly and said these words that she knew might be hurtful.
Captain Xia had sacrificed so much for her. She said that she would protect him well too. She had to do what she said.
“Just say those things to me. Don’t say that to Uncle and Grandpa.” Li Jinnian’s face turned dark. He clenched his fists and lowered his eyes. “It’s fine as long as I know. In the future… don’t mention it again.”
The atmosphere became a little sad. Ye Jian closed her eyes to hide the stubbornness in them. “I know. I won’t let my dad and grandpa hear it.
“Cousin, let’s stop this topic and not talk about it anymore, okay? I don’t want our relationship to be hurt because it’s already a foregone conclusion. I don’t want that to happen at all.”
“Okay, I won’t mention it anymore. But you should be mentally prepared. Uncle won’t give in so easily. Even if he thinks that Xia Jinyuan is a good match for you, he won’t give in so easily.
Ye Jian nodded and didn’t mention those things anymore.
Footsteps could be heard outside the corridor. Ye Jian wanted to turn around and look, but she lowered her head and looked at the old man who was about to wake up instead.
One hour had passed. Grandpa should be waking up soon.
