2570 h.e.l.lo, Future Father-In-Law

Mr. Fu didn’t stop his daughter from bringing back the deceased guard’s body. In his eyes, his daughter and he had the responsibility to bring back the body of the martyr. Just like what the young man said, ‘the hero’s soul has returned to his final resting place.’ They must bring the hero’s body back to their country. They mustn’t let the hero’s body remain overseas.

“Complete the mission given to you by the country. I’ll wait for you to come back!” Mr. Fu opened his arms and hugged his daughter. He hugged his world. “I don’t need you to worry about me. Just take care of yourself.”

Ye Jian hugged her father gently. They had been apart for more than 20 years, but she didn’t feel unfamiliar with him. “Please don’t worry. I’ll definitely be safe.” After that, she would accompany him back to the Southern Province to see her mother.

As the father and daughter spoke in low voices, the other three scientists came out after was.h.i.+ng up. Lin Feng, who was talking to Xia Jinyuan, said to the others, “You can go and wash up too. The water storage in the wealthy district is huge.”

!!

It was already rare for a place that lacked water to have a big enough water storage that let them wash up every day.

After Ye Jian washed off the paint on her face and neck, she scrubbed the gunpowder off her body. When she walked out, she saw tears in her father’s eyes. He still missed her deeply.

“You’re really alike. You’re really similar to your mother. You’re carved from the same mold.”

Mr. Fu’s calm emotions fluctuated again. He was a restrained and strict person. However, in front of his daughter, whom he only knew today and who was so similar to his wife, his emotions fluctuated instantly.

It was understandable. He had been looking for his wife for more than 20 years. Suddenly, he found out that he had a daughter and his daughter was standing in front of him. To prevent him from getting hurt, she risked her life to push him to the ground and used her body to protect him.

Without any mental preparation, huge surprises came one after another. No wonder this strict and restrained chief engineer of the R&D department was so emotional.

Ye Jian knew that she was very similar to her mother. At this moment, the sun was s.h.i.+ning through the curtains. Ye Jian could see her father more clearly.

“Everyone in the village said that I’m very similar to Mom too. After I grew up, the people who have seen Mom said that I’ll become more like her in the future.”

The corners of Ye Jian’s lips curled up slightly. She seemed to be smiling as she replied, but in actual fact, she was telling Mr. Fu that… her mother was no longer around.

However, Mr. Fu, who was immersed in the joy of reuniting with his daughter, didn’t notice it. He nodded slightly when he heard that. Memories of his interaction with his wife appeared in his eyes. “Yes, you really look alike. It’s because of this similarity that I recognized you. If not… I’m afraid I wouldn’t have known until we returned to the country.”

His daughter knew about their father-daughter relations.h.i.+p, but she couldn’t calm herself down either. It was obvious that her daughter was nervous.

Ye Jian heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn’t think too deeply about it. At the same time, she couldn’t help but worry even more.

Her father loved her mother so much. Once he found out that her mother had already died… how would her father be able to bear the huge sorrow after the initial wave of joy? Should she… tell him before he went back?

For a moment, Ye Jian couldn’t make up her mind. She subconsciously glanced at Xia Jinyuan and thought to herself, ‘What would Captain Xia ask me to do?”

Maybe she could ask Captain Xia later.

Xia Jinyuan, who had just finished speaking to Lin Feng in a low voice, felt two gazes on him. He couldn’t help but turn around. When he saw the scene… the lieutenant colonel’s heart skipped a beat.

Amazing, his future father-in-law was sizing him up.
