Chapter 204 Ye Family’s Parents Arrive
Back at the government office, Ye Jin's heart was still heavy as lead. Wang Ren saw her coming back and hurriedly approached her and asked, "How is it? What did Minister Lin say?"
Ye Jin looked gloomy and shook his head: "I don't know what the result will be yet, I can only leave it to fate."
In the next few days, Ye Jin was always absent-minded in the government office, and her colleagues' jokes made her feel stressed. And the rumors about her and Lin Yuxi in the capital were getting more and more intense.
"Ye Jin, you are now famous. You saved the daughter of Minister Lin. I'm afraid you will be very successful in the future!"
"Humph, you don't even consider your status. You dare to be so rude to the Shangshu's daughter. I'm afraid you will suffer the consequences."
All kinds of words of envy, jealousy, or ridicule, like sharp blades, constantly irritated Ye Jin's nerves.
If she had known that everyone was so sensitive, she would not have saved Lin Yuxi. What a troublemaker.
At the same time, rumors about her and Lin Yuxi in the capital city intensified. Some people said that Ye Jin coveted the power of the Lin family and deliberately created opportunities to get close to Lin Yuxi; others said that Lin Yuxi had already fallen in love with Ye Jin, which was why she deliberately fell into the water at the flower viewing banquet. All kinds of rumors were unbearable to hear.
That day, Ye Jin was stopped by a group of people as soon as he walked out of the government office. The leader was Lin Yuxi's brother Lin Yu.
Lin Yu's eyes widened with anger, veins popping out on his forehead, he pointed at Ye Jin and shouted, "You shameless fellow, how dare you flirt with my sister? Today I will teach you a lesson!"
As he said that, he punched Ye Jin without saying anything. Ye Jin dodged to the side, feeling bitter, and said, "Mr. Lin, this is indeed a misunderstanding. I have no intention of being disrespectful to your sister. The situation was critical at the time, and I only wanted to save people, without thinking too much."
Lin Yu couldn't listen to him. His eyes were red as if he was about to spit fire. "You are such a flatterer. My sister is pure and innocent. Now you have ruined her reputation, and you are still trying to make excuses!"
Before he finished speaking, another heavy punch came. Ye Jin had no choice but to fight back. Although she was a woman, her experience of traveling through time and space made her more resilient and agile. In this back-and-forth battle, the two of them fought to a standstill.
At this moment, an angry voice came over: "Stop!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people hurrying over from a distance. Leading the group was a middle-aged couple, followed by two young people, a man and a woman. All four of them had anxious and angry expressions on their faces, and their footsteps were hurried, raising a cloud of dust along the way.
"Jin'er, my son!" the middle-aged woman shouted as she rushed forward. The middle-aged man beside her was also furious, "Who dares to touch my son!"
When Ye Jin heard the shout, her movements paused slightly, and she was full of doubts. The person she was fighting with took the opportunity to throw a punch at her, and she quickly came to her senses and parried again.
The Ye family quickly ran over, and the woman reached out her hand to pull Ye Jin, muttering, "Jin'er, don't hit her. You'll hurt yourself."
However, when they looked closely, they found that although the man in front of them looked very similar to their son, there were still many differences. This man was wearing official uniforms, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. He was definitely not the Ye Jin they were familiar with.
"This... isn't this Jin'er?" The woman's hand froze in mid-air, her face full of astonishment.
The middle-aged man also widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "How could this be? This person looks exactly like Jin'er, but..."
Ye Jin took the opportunity to get rid of his opponent, stepped aside, and looked at the family that suddenly appeared with a frown.
"Who are you? Why do you keep calling me Jin'er?" Ye Jin asked vigilantly.
The woman's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was trembling: "You are not my son Ye Jin? My son has not sent a letter home for several months. I and his father were really worried, so I brought his elder brother and sister-in-law to the capital to look for him, but I didn't expect..."
Ye Jin's heart was shocked, and she instantly understood the reason. But she didn't know how to explain it, so she could only remain silent.
At this time, the eldest brother Lin Cheng, who had been silent, walked forward, looked Ye Jin up and down, and said doubtfully: "Looking at this appearance, he really looks like Brother Jin, but my brother is a weak scholar, he definitely doesn't have such skills."
The eldest sister-in-law also echoed: "Yeah, could it be that we found the wrong place?"
The middle-aged man stared at Ye Jin sharply and said, "Sir, who are you? Why do you look so much like my son?"
Ye Jin took a deep breath and said slowly: "My name is Ye Jin, but I'm not the Ye Jin you're looking for. I... I come from a place you can't imagine. I ended up here by chance."
The Ye family members looked at each other, some of them not knowing what this adult meant.
But this gentleman is also called... Ye Jin?
Why are their names exactly the same?
The Ye family suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere became very solemn.
The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly became sharp, "You said your name is also Ye Jin? Then why do you look so similar to my son, even your name is exactly the same?"
Ye Jin bit her lip and said, "It's not surprising that there are so many similar people in this world."
"Nonsense!" the man shouted, "How can there be such a coincidence?"
Ye Jin was panicking, but still pretended to be calm, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
