In order to let the old man know how detailed Xia Jinyuan’s gifts were, Uncle Fu specially took a few of them over for the old man to see. His left and right hands were full. Just by looking at the names of the goods, one could tell how detailed the giver was.

“I’m very happy that you’re here, but why did you bring gifts?” The old man didn’t like gifts, but from what Uncle Fu said, it could be seen how much importance the Xia family attached to this visit.

Xia Jinyuan replied respectfully, “This is my first time greeting you and Uncle during the new year. It’s just a small token of my appreciation.”

“It’s not a small token of appreciation. Grandpa, these gifts were all prepared by Grandpa Xia, Grandma Xia, and Uncle Xia. He and I rushed back from overseas and had to go to the military to report. We didn’t prepare any gifts for you and Dad. Look at me. I didn’t bring anything back.”

When she reached home and was with her closest family, Ye Jian lost her composure and became more wilful.

Beneath her hard appearance, Ye Jian also had a soft side. Only her closest family could see this side of her. Even Xia Jinyuan rarely had the chance to see it.

Lovers and relatives were different, after all.

It was in one’s nature to be close to their loved ones.

Mr. Fu could hear a lot of information from Ye Jian’s words.

Firstly, his daughter didn’t stay in school for duty. She had gone out with the young man in front of her. That was why she needed to report to the military when she returned to the capital city.

Secondly, this young man from the Xia family didn’t have the time to return to the Xia family before accompanying his daughter to the Fu family. Yes… he was quite thorough. He knew that he and the old man wanted Jian to go home.

Thirdly, he had received the approval of Grandpa Xia, Matriarch Xia, and Commander-in-Chief Xia. They didn’t mind this young man coming to the Fu family first. Xia Jinyuan was very sincere, and Mr. Fu couldn’t find anything to be dissatisfied with.

After thinking about it, Mr. Fu’s gaze softened a little as he looked at Xia Jinyuan. However, as a father who wanted to keep his daughter by his side for a few more years, Mr. Fu still felt that this brat was scheming for not going back to his family and visiting them first for the new year!

Look, look. He had coaxed the old man until he was sitting on the sofa while holding Ye Jian’s and his hands respectively. He was smiling from ear to ear!

Uncle Fu brewed tea. Seeing that the old man was so happy, he thought for a

moment and walked to Mr. Fu’s side. He reminded him softly, “The Chinese medicine for the old chief’s feet has been prepared. If the water gets cold later, the medicinal effects won’t be as good.”

“Why don’t I bring it out and let the old chief talk while soaking his feet?”

Mr. Fu was concerned about the old man’s health. Hearing that, he walked out with a wooden basin.

Ye Jian, who was talking to the old man happily, smelled the strong smell of Chinese medicine. The smile on her face disappeared instantly.

Why was there such a strong smell of Chinese medicine?

Was Grandpa drinking Chinese medicine?

It wasn’t good to ask these questions during the new year. Ye Jian controlled herself and didn’t ask immediately. Instead, she turned her head and saw Mr. Fu walking over with a wooden basin. Ye Jian’s smile bloomed again.

It was such a huge wooden basin. It was obvious that it was used to soak one’s feet.

She knew that the old man’s feet suffered from rheumatism and needed to recuperate. It was a good idea to soak his feet in Chinese medicine.

She quickly got up and took the wooden basin from Mr. Fu.

Mr. Fu didn’t reject her. His daughter was filial. There was no need for him to reject her. He smiled and reminded her, “It’s a little heavy. Be careful.”

It was indeed a little heavy, but not for Ye Jian. She smiled and took it easily. “Compared to carrying a log, it’s much lighter..”
