"I’ve been telling myself that until I hear Dad’s explanation, I won’t believe anyone else. I won’t believe he would hurt his good friend, it’s just..."
Qin Youxuan’s eyes slightly brimd with redness.
The accusers of her father were not only Yu Xiuzhun, but also Dan Hanjie.
She understood better than anyone that without absolute certainty, Dan Hanjie would not take revenge on the Ye Family disregarding her and Tingye.
All she could do was comfort herself that perhaps there was so misunderstanding in all this.
But Ye Zhanxing was already dead, and any unwillingness could only remain as such, without any more chances for explanations.
"It’s all in the past. If you don’t want to believe it, then don’t. No one will force you. Mr. Ye wouldn’t want to see you pushing yourself like this. Xuan, if you’re tired, just lean on my shoulder at ease. I’m your brother, and naturally, I will shelter you from the storm."
Jin Chenye clasped her shoulders tightly and pulled her into his embrace.
His eyes were filled with heartache.
"..."
The body of Qin Youxuan stiffened, hesitated for several seconds, and then gently pushed him away.
She bit her lip, "I’m fine, you don’t have to always treat like a child, I am already a mother now. Let’s go, we are here, and if we don’t go in now, people inside might start worrying that we got lost."
Qin Youxuan deliberately joked in a light-hearted manner.
Jin Chenye just looked deeply at her once, said nothing more, nodded his head, and walked ahead, guiding the way for her.
As soon as the two entered the farm, they were greeted by soone.
"Mr. Jin, Miss Qin..."
"No need for formalities, first take us to see the vegetable patch where the incident happened," Qin Youxuan glanced at the farm manager approaching, shook hands with him, and spoke composedly.
Her delicate face showed neither anger nor panic, only a tranquility that radiated from within.
"My na is Fang Hua, the designated manager of the Ye Family farm, please follow this way," the manager shook hands and imdiately turned around respectfully, leading them forward.
Qin Youxuan, having already reviewed the Ye Family farm’s files before arriving, had also researched information about Fang Hua.
She knew he graduated from a prestigious agricultural university, had worked at the Ye Family farm for over a decade, was a top-level manager, adept at both hill and village tasks, and was an exceptional talent.
The farm was absolutely vital to the Ye Family’s overall industry.
Before Ye Zhanxing left, he had ntioned Fang Hua to Qin Youxuan more than once.
He had highly affird Fang Hua’s capabilities.
Thus, Qin Youxuan did not doubt Fang Hua’s ability to manage the farm.
Now, it was just a matter of assessing the damage to the vegetable patch and thinking of solutions together.
In this situation, the real outsiders here were her and Jin Chenye.
At this thought, Qin Youxuan suddenly turned her head and glanced at Jin Chenye. The latter calmly looked up and said to her, "Don’t worry, with here, there won’t be any problems."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Fang Hua walking in front hesitated for a mont, puzzled as he turned his head to look at the two of them.
He furrowed his eyebrows.
As far as he knew, these two should be siblings, even if not biological, at least nominally so.
But the interaction and the words spoken between them felt really strange.
Fang Hua got distracted, his foot slipped, and he nearly fell into a nearby ditch.
At that critical mont, Jin Chenye quickly reached out and pulled him up, "Are you alright?"
"It was my oversight, thank you."
