Chapter 1812: Amazing, My Jian’er

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was fine if Ye Jian did not receive any grat.i.tude after saving someone. She did not save others because she wanted them to express their grat.i.tude. Instead, she saved people for the sake of her duty as a soldier. The problem was that the person whom she saved not only did not thank her but was also tripping her up!

Ye Jian was not a soft-hearted person. She was also not so magnanimous as to forgive Du Jiayi, who kept trying to stir things up. Hearing this, her voice turned cold. She said sternly, “Female soldier, with your intelligence, you can’t always say things that will cause others to misunderstand you.”

Liu Yuan’s eyes shone while Du Jiayi’s face darkened.

Since she had already spoken, Ye Jian would not swallow back the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She stared coldly at Du Jiayi, whose eyes were turning dark. Her tone was sharp and cold as she said, “Am I understanding you correctly? You’re saying that I’m putting on a strong front for my own interest. I saved the bunch of you but you’re saying I’m making my comrades busy themselves around me… You’re saying all these on purpose so that you can tell everyone that I only have such little ability. Do you mean to say that everything I’ve done so far was to put on a performance?”

Du Jiayi’s expression changed drastically!

No one had ever dared to throw her a tantrum at her like this, much less accuse her so boldly! No one had ever criticized her in front of the leaders!

“You…”

She wanted to stop Ye Jian from speaking, but Ye Jian would not give her a chance. “You don’t need to explain anything to me. You’re a smart female soldier. As a soldier, you should be forward and direct with your words. Don’t always say things while hiding the true meaning in between the words.

“Don’t tell me that I misunderstood you. After what you said to the leader just now, he would’ve probably misunderstood me if I hadn’t explained myself. I’m being polite to you now. I only confronted you after the leader left. I hope you’ll cherish the kindness extended to you by others!”

Liu Yuan, who was dumbfounded, almost laughed out loud.

Amazing, amazing… Too amazing!

Her words made Du Jiayi, who had always maintained a good image in front of the leaders, turn pale. She could not take it lying down.

Ye Jian was not a talkative person. She always knew when she could advance and when she should retreat. She also knew how to deal with people.

It was quite tiring to spend time with someone like Du Jiayi. No matter the occasion, she regarded herself as the only one who could take the lead. The rest could only be supporting roles, and they were all supporting roles who did things according to her wishes.

If anyone dared to cross her, she would definitely take them down as long as she had the dirt on them.

Ye Jian, who had noticed that something was wrong, did not plan to partic.i.p.ate in it. This was the matter of the troupe. Even the leaders did not say anything. She was a soldier of the land regiment, so she just needed to watch silently.

However, Du Jiayi should never have stepped on Ye Jian. She even tried to ruin her image.

Ye Jian was a soldier. Soldiers had to protect their image at all times. They could not let others ruin their reputation!

The first time, Ye Jian took a small step back and told Du Jiayi not to push her luck. Perhaps because she had used her silence to tell Du Jiayi that, it made her think that she, Ye Jian, was easy to bully.

If that was the case, she did not mind not being polite to Du Jiayi anymore and directly warning her! She wanted her to restrain herself!
