Chapter 231 Ye Ze Makes Progress Step by Step, Using the Baby's Words
When Zhizhi heard him say that, alarm bells immediately went off in her head.
"You...you know my dad?"
She was certain that the father Ye Ze was referring to was not Jiang Anchao's father, because he was currently with her mother.
If he were to say he was taking her to see Jiang Anchao's father, she could almost see them if she turned her head; it's impossible that he said he was taking her to see him.
Ye Ze smiled and winked at her, "Why wouldn't I recognize him? I've always admired Engineer Jiang. Almost everyone in the entire unit has met him."
Zhizhi frowned almost imperceptibly.
She immediately calmed down and thought, "No, there's definitely something wrong in what this idiot uncle said."
My aunt had mentioned before that Jiang Yan had a top-level classified identity. The research projects he participated in were still under confidentiality. He was always accompanied by people when he went out, and they were all practically armed and protected.
How could Ye Ze possibly know him and be able to meet him so easily?
There's something fishy about Ye Ze!
What exactly is his purpose?!
The little cub looked at Ye Ze without showing any emotion, a smile spreading across its chubby face. "Uncle Ye, you really know my dad? Did Dad tell you about me before? Otherwise, how could you recognize me so quickly?"
"After all, I have a very good relationship with my dad. He has always thought I am his pride. Uncle, you and my dad are such good friends, you must know that, right?"
Ye Ze's smile froze for a moment, and his probing gaze slowly fell on the cub.
"Zhizhi, lying is not a good habit..."
He crouched down, bringing his gaze level with the cub's again, and then slowly took the cub's hand in his large palm.
"Your father never seems to mention to anyone that he has a daughter. It's just that we two are very close. I know about his wife, Ji Enning, so he only mentions it to me occasionally. Hmm... Your father is particularly distressed because he wants to bring you to live with him, but you're not very willing. Because of this, his relationship with your current stepparents is quite strained. Is Uncle right?"
Zhizhi's mouth opened wide in surprise, almost big enough to fit an egg.
How did he know all this?
Could it be that he really is Jiang Yan's good friend, which is why he knows so much about his family's affairs?!
The cub's face was a little pale, and the smile on its face gradually became somewhat forced.
Her little face was tense, and her tone was uncertain, "So what did Daddy tell you about me?"
“Look at you, you still don’t believe that your uncle and your father are good friends. This is exactly what your father said.”
Ye Ze deliberately spoke, while observing the cub's expression.
He sighed, seemingly mentioning casually, "Girls should read more books and be more gentle, instead of being unreasonable. He's always been quite troubled that your stepfather raised you to be like this. But I don't think so. I think it's good for girls to be a little fierce, so they won't suffer losses. Isn't it good to be like your aunt? Ten men couldn't defeat her."
After talking for a while, the little cub was already seven or eight parts convinced.
She couldn't help but speak up urgently: "He's talking nonsense. He doesn't understand me at all. Why does he keep saying I'm fierce? He thinks I'm uncultured, but even next year I'll only be four and a half years old! Does that mean all little girls in the world have to wear skirts and be quiet and polite? Do they have to be submissive to be considered a proper child? If that's the case, then I'd rather not be the kind of child he expects. I don't care!"
When the little cub opens its mouth, it rattles off like firecrackers during Chinese New Year, speaking rapidly and excitedly.
A glint of light flashed deep in Ye Ze's eyes.
He sighed, feigning regret, "That's true, but he is your father after all, and naturally he wants you to be better off. I'll take you there now. Your father is very busy right now; he's building missiles. Don't you want to see them? They are the backbone of the future nation, the strongest foundation for us to stand on the entire battlefield of Dongda."
missile?
What is that thing? Can you eat it?
Zhizhi's eyes were filled with longing. She had vaguely heard her aunt mention that Jiang Yan was engaged in some very dangerous work, which was kept completely secret and not allowed to be revealed in the slightest.
Can she go in too?
Wouldn't that be considered leaking confidential information?
No, no, she's just a child, what would she know about secrets?
Zhizhi took a deep breath and roughly cleared the jumbled information from her mind.
“Dad makes missiles, so he must be very capable. In that case, I shouldn’t cause him any more trouble. Uncle Ye Ze, please tell Dad that I’m coming to Beijing. We shouldn’t go looking for Dad alone and cause him any more trouble.”
"You don't want to go?"
Ye Ze blurted it out subconsciously.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Good, good, you're quite good at keeping secrets. I didn't expect you to be interested in things like rifles, but not at all curious about high-tech scientific weapons like missiles. I bet your dad will be angry if he finds out. His own daughter is only interested in what her stepfather does, but doesn't care at all about the research and dedication she's made."
There was a brief silence in the air the moment the words were spoken.
Zhizhi completely lost the will to speak.
She gave Ye Ze a very unladylike glare. "Why do you always like to sow discord? Were you a mistress to Aunt Bai Qi, and then you got dumped? Now you can't even be considered a backup option, so you always try to stir up trouble. When did I say I didn't like Jiang Yan's stuff? I just like these gun barrels more. How does that relate to choosing a biological father or a stepfather? Your words are really disgusting!"
Ye Ze raised an eyebrow. "Then why were you unwilling to go when I said I wanted to take you to the research institute? You didn't even want to go for a visit. Is it that you're not interested, or that you're afraid to go?"
These words were meant to provoke the cubs.
In an extremely subtle way, the cub's emotions were brought to the point of being out of control.
Zhizhi panicked and blurted out instinctively, "I'm here to take care of important business, not to see him. Besides, we're not that close, so don't keep saying things like that. Don't try to play tricks on me!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the little cub knew something was wrong.
I think I've said too much. I must be careful not to say anything wrong and give this idiot uncle something to nitpick.
"Oh?" Ye Ze's curiosity was piqued, and he pressed on, "What important business have you come here on? Have you discovered some important evidence in Suzhou and want to report it directly to your superiors in Beijing?"
