There were many people coming and going in the airport. Ye Jian had to restrain the urge to hug Xia Jinyuan.
Moreover, she was someone who knew how to control her actions. The moment this thought flashed past her mind, she suppressed it.
"I did. My dad was very sad, and I was shocked at that time." She lowered her head. There was still some lingering fear on her palm-sized face. "My dad told me that Mom was his obsession. Now that she's gone… his heart is empty."
Even though his heart was empty now… Xia Jinyuan's father-in-law was indeed in love with his mother-in-law.
The queue for check-in was a little long. Ye Jian's flight was at 9.11 pm. It was only 8.07 pm now. There was still an hour left. There was no hurry to go to the waiting room.
Xia Jinyuan took note of the time and said softly, "Next, we'll have to rely on you to fill in Father-in-law's heart. You're his daughter. Mother-in-law is gone, but she left behind her longing for Father-in-law… which is you. You can let Father-in-law continue to be stubborn and take care of his body for you."
His little fox might seem cold, but in fact, she valued family, kinship, friendship, and love very much. She would remember who treated her well and treat them with all her heart.
All these years, he had seen everything clearly. Her heart was soft. How could she bear to hurt her father?
If he hadn't called her today, she might not have told Father-in-law about Mother-in-law's sacrifice.
"You don't have to blame yourself. Father-in-law has to know about Mother-in-law. Now, I see that Father-in-law isn't too sad. When he heard my father talk about you, he was filled with joy and wanted to understand more. It can be seen that although Father-in-law is sad about Mother-in-law's sacrifice, he feels comforted because at least he has you.
"So, Little Fox, you need to work hard to get Father-in-law out of his sorrow as soon as possible."
Xia Jinyuan's meaning was similar to the old man's. However, the old man wanted to wake Mr. Fu up directly… He told him straight that he still had a daughter whom he owed for almost 20 years. Xia Jinyuan couldn't be so direct with Mr. Fu. He could only tell Ye Jian to let Mr. Fu know that although his wife was gone, his daughter was still around.
"Yes, I know. I'll try my best to let him walk out of his sorrow as soon as possible. Grandpa reminded me during the day too. Actually, my father already had a guess in his heart. It was just that he had some hope because of my surname.
"When I said it out loud… Captain Xia, I heaved a sigh of relief. It was as if the huge rock in my heart had finally been lifted."
She spoke softly and gently, but her eyes were filled with gentleness. Xia Jinyuan lowered his head and saw this. His heart softened too.
He restrained the urge to kiss her and only raised his hand. He patted her shoulder lightly. "You have to believe in Father-in-law. You have to believe that he can face it bravely. If you can face it bravely, Father-in-law can too."
"Yes, Dad can face it. It's just that I couldn't accept it at that time. After all, he was looking forward to it so much. He finally met me, and he was so surprised that he thought he could see Mom too. He couldn't have expected that Mom died so many years ago. He couldn't accept the news when I first told him."
Ye Jian didn't hide anything from Xia Jinyuan because he was her lover. He would be her lover for the rest of her life. Even if it was nothing good… As long as he was willing to listen, she would tell him.
Xia Jinyuan knew that this was Ye Jian's trust in him. Hence, as he listened to her speak slowly, the affection in his deep eyes was already clear.
