Chapter 3083: Arrogant Uncle
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Instinctively, Ye Jian looked for Mr. Fu. If Mr. Fu was here, Ye Jian wouldn’t be so anxious.
However, Mr. Fu wasn’t around. The old man’s test results came out last night. Just now, he went to the doctor’s office to ask if there were any problems with the test results.
At this moment, Li Jinnian was helpless. They were all elders. He didn’t know where to start even if he wanted to help his cousin. He could only say, “Since they’re here, take it easy. Straighten your back and walk calmly. Don’t think too much.
“They’re just here to see Grandpa, not to see you. So open your mind a little. Don’t panic.”
Ye Jian’s knees turned weak. She wanted to cry but didn’t say anything. She maintained a smile on her face and straightened her back. She said to Li Jinnian, “It was fine if you hadn’t mentioned their ident.i.ties just now. Now that you’ve said it, there’s a psychological barrier stopping me even if I want to be calm!”
Ignorance was bliss… If she was fearless, she wouldn’t have a psychological burden. If she didn’t have a psychological burden, she’d be calm.
Now, how could she remain calm? It was good enough that she hadn’t turned around and run off.
Commander Xia’s family had already seen Ye Jian. It could be said that when Ye Jian walked over, all the uncles of the Xia family looked over.
Xia Guoan, the eldest uncle, had white hair at his temples. He was in a high position. His gaze didn’t reveal his might. No matter how much he restrained his aura, it was enough to make people fear him. His facial features were the most similar to Commander Xia’s. Because he had maintained a serious expression for a long time, there was a wrinkle at the corner of his mouth that made his facial expressions more dignified.
He was already 65 years old. In two years, he would retire and stay at home to accompany Grandpa Xia and Old Madam Xia. His eldest son, Xia Lingxiao, was the head of a certain division. He was 19 years older than Xia Jinyuan. He was 45 years old this year, which was also the golden age for men.
Xia Jiaze, the youngest uncle of the Xia family, was 57 years old this year. He was also the only son of Grandpa Xia who didn’t join the military. He was a very successful businessman. His scope of involvement was astonis.h.i.+ng, and his a.s.sets were unfathomable.
As he was not exposed to the wind or sun, he looked to be around 40 or 50 years old at most. He looked a few years younger than his actual age. He looked like the old madam. This 57-year-old uncle was elegant and didn’t have the dignity of a soldier. He only had the refined temperament of a scholar.
Seeing Ye Jian walking over, he said to Commander Xia, “Third Brother, Little Six has better taste than you. Not bad. This lady is pleasing to the eye at first glance. She looks pleasant, and I like her.
“I didn’t bring any greeting gifts. Why don’t I give her a villa at Red Leaf Villa?
She can be neighbors with Old Fifth’s family.” Old Fifth was the second son of Xia Jinyuan’s uncle. He was the fifth grandchild.
Commander Xia was already used to his brother’s arrogance. He said calmly, “You have many properties. You can do whatever you want. I don’t have any objections to you giving her a house or a car. Anyway, you have a lot of money.
The day before yesterday, Old Fifth told me that he found 340,000 yuan from the garage.”
“Hahaha, Third Brother, I’m old too. My memory has become bad. I really don’t remember stuffing money into the garage. I’d rather use it for charity than let the cash mold.
“I’ve already asked Old Fifth to clean up the money and donate it to charity.” Commander Xia glanced at his younger brother. He was 57 years old, and his grandson was already seven years old. He was still the same as when he was young. He was forgetful. Commander Xia didn’t know how he managed to expand his business.
Wasn’t it hard to put all his memory and energy into business?
