238: Major Xia's Arrangement (1)

Major Xia's Arrangement (1)

"Time reveals a person's heart. I gave you 13 years… I think I saw your heart." Grandpa Gen came with a purpose. He would not let Ye Zhifan had any chance of distorting the truth. He wanted to take Ye Jian's registered residence out of Ye Zhifan's family.1

If Major Xia didn't call him yesterday night, he wouldn't even have thought about this.

If he didn't do it now, things would be bad after Ye Jian took the university entrance examination.

The registered residence played an important role if Ye Jian wanted to get into a military school. If Ye Zhifan used his status as her guardian to do something behind the scene, Ye Jian's future would be destroyed.

Secretary Wu didn't know why this Class A Master Sergeant asked him to stay behind so he decided to listen to the situation first. Before he could get a grasp of what was happening, it was better to keep his mouth shut.

After some time, Grandpa Gen asked Secretary Wu, "I heard that you came here once before. That time, you came personally because you found out that that child's guardian is Town Mayor Ye, right?"

"Yes, if it is not recorded in the data, I wouldn't have known that Ye Jian's guardian is Town Mayor Ye," Secretary Wu answered calmly. "Do you have any questions regarding this?"

If not, he wouldn't suddenly direct the topic to this.

Ye Zhifan thought about something and narrowed his eyes. He started pursing his lips too.

Grandpa Gen nodded slightly. He continued, "If we place her registered residence somewhere else, can the data be changed?"

Ye Zhifan clenched his fist as his heart pounded furiously. Just like what he expected.

Grandpa Gen wanted to take Ye Jian's registered residence out of his family. He wanted Ye Jian to have nothing to do with his family.

"Of course it can be changed. It's not a huge problem." Secretary Wu smiled as he explained to Grandpa Gen, "However, underaged youths can't have a personal registered residence. Once there is a change in registered residence, the underaged person needs to have a guardian until he or she reaches 18 years old."

Why must an underaged person have a guardian?

This was related to the law for underaged youths. Based on Article 16 of the 'General Principles of Civil Law' and Article 53 of 'Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Minors', the birth parents of a child were the legal guardians of the child unless they die or lose their rights.

Ye Jian's parents were both dead. Her mother was a soldier too. That meant that her guardian would be the closest blood-related relative. This was known as 'legal guardianship of a specific relative'.

The criteria for this specific relative was strict.

Ye Zhifan was the best candidate for this position.

Now, if they want to take Ye Jian's registered residence out and change the guardian chosen by the government, it was a little difficult.

The court of justice had to consider if the second guardian fulfilled the requirements to protect the safety and assets of this child.

Grandpa Gen needed to know if he could change the guardian stated in the data.

"Uncle Gen, are you planning to take Ye Jian's registered residence out?" Ye Zhifan knew the answer but he still asked. He wouldn't sit still and wait to die. He crossed his arms and asked calmly, "Once her registered residence is taken out, who will become her guardian? You? I'm afraid you might not be suitable."
