The place where the old man lived was filled with leaders at the level of heads of state. Entering the beautiful residential area where the small buildings were looming behind the tall trees, Ye Jian felt that even the air had become extraordinarily solemn. She didn't even dare to make a sound when she walked.
From the moment she lifted her foot to the ground, Ye Chien straightened her back and straightened her back. Even though she was dressed casually, she felt like she was wearing a military uniform.
In order to see the old gentleman as soon as possible, Ye Chien took the earliest flight to the capital. It took off at four in the morning and arrived at the capital at six. It was only a few minutes past eight.
The guard walking in front suddenly stopped and saluted. Ye Chien, who was following behind him, immediately followed the guard's action. She stood at attention and saluted. It was a standard military posture that could be used in a promotional video.
The person walking toward them was a head of state. He was wearing a linen cotton Tai Chi training uniform that had been washed until it was yellow. When he saw them, he even greeted them casually, "Good morning." It was completely different from the serious expression he had when he spoke on TV.
Ye Chien looked straight ahead. She didn't dare to look at the leader. Only when the leader left did she let out a sigh of relief.
"Don't be nervous. The leaders are very solemn on television, but they are very easy-going in real life. Sometimes they even chat and laugh with us guards."
The guards were not ordinary guards. They were all very capable. Even in the field forces, they were the best. They were responsible for the safety of the leaders. How could they be qualified to enter this place if they weren't capable?
Ye Chien's breathing was only slightly hurried, but the guard walking in front heard it clearly.
"It's my first time here. I'm still a bit nervous," Ye Chien answered honestly. How could she not be nervous? In a place where even the air was solemn, she had to be even more careful with her words and actions.
The guard, who didn't know Ye Chien's identity, smiled and replied, "Just get used to it." He didn't say anything else until Ye Chien entered the building where the old gentleman lived.
The old man knew that his granddaughter was coming back today, so he had been nagging about it since he did not sleep well. Uncle Fu, the housekeeper who came in with him, smiled and said, "You said that there was no need to trouble the higher-ups and that there was no need to arrange for your granddaughter to come to the capital. Why are you nagging about it now?"
The higher-ups were afraid that the old master would not be used to the change of environment, so Uncle Fu, who had been taking care of the old master, came over together with the old master's bed and daily necessities. They wanted to make sure that the old master would not feel unfamiliar at all and could recuperate in peace.
The old man muttered, "Why aren't we there yet? Is there a traffic jam?" He lay on the bed and sighed. He said to Uncle Fu, "In the past, I didn't have much to look forward to. I lived one day at a time. If one day she was gone, then so be it.
"It's different now. I have something to look forward to, something to worry about. I've lived to this age, but I still want to borrow a few more decades from the heavens so that I can take a good look at my eldest granddaughter. I want to see her get married and have children. I want to see her reunited."
"Now that I have my eldest granddaughter, the older I get, the more I refuse to admit that I'm old. I just hope that I can live a little longer and make my eldest granddaughter happy a little longer."
"This child has a lot of thoughts and worries. She values her family very much. During the few days when I was hospitalized, Wanwan would sneak over to see if the IV machine was working properly. After she was done, she would reach out her finger to check if I was still breathing … Xiao Fu, my eldest granddaughter's life in the past was too tough and tiring. She really needs someone who cares about her by her side. "
