Chapter 2104: Competing

Sun Dongqing did not think about anything else. She only wanted to bring her daughter back from the capital city as soon as possible. It was fine if she embarra.s.sed herself at home, but she must not embarra.s.s herself outside!

That was all she could think of. The most important thing now was to bring Ye Ying back from the capital city. She didn’t think about the fact that Ye Ying was a military arts soldier who was about to report for enlistment, nor did she consider that the videotape might have been sent to more people.

Sun Dongqing who had found her ID card only brought her wallet, phone, and no other luggage. She locked the door and headed to the airport in a sorry state.

She did not dare ask the driver to take her, for fear that he would get some clues from seeing her face. Even when she took a taxi, she covered her face with a thick plaid scarf.

From her home to the airport, she was so anxious that she kept calling the father’s and daughter’s phone numbers, hoping that one of them would pick up.

Ye Zhifan, who was chatting happily with Staff Officer Du, didn’t even think about looking at his phone until he returned to his room. Needless to say, Ye Ying’s heart was pounding when facing Li Yuan, who came from a good family and was handsome and rich.

She was not tempted by Li Yuan himself but by the Du family’s background and wealth.

She didn’t expect her mother’s angry words to come true. She would find a husband who could become a general in the future! No, no, Li Yuan said that he had no intention of joining the army. She was not looking for a general to be her husband but a father-in-law who was a general! And a mother-in-law who came from a famous family!

As for whether Li Yuan was ugly or handsome, it did not matter anymore. Of course, she would feel better if he was handsome.

Although Ye Ying was excited the entire night, she was not impetuous when facing others. She pretended as though Madam Li was just joking. After a short moment of shyness, she returned to normal.

…

Madam Li was getting more and more satisfied with her. Before she left, she held Ye Ying’s hand and smiled. “Tomorrow is Jiayi’s birthday. We’ll be holding a birthday party for her at home. Remember to come over with your father.”

Not only did she have to be obedient, but Madam Li also had to see how well she could communicate with the others.

Then, she said to Ye Zhifan, “Director Ye, remember to visit tomorrow. Don’t forget.”

Ye Zhifan was stunned for a few seconds by the sudden good news. When he regained his senses, he patted his forehead and said apologetically, “I didn’t expect Miss Du’s birthday to be tomorrow. I wasn’t prepared at all. It’ll be too rude of me to rush over.”

How could Ye Zhifan forget about such a good opportunity that could allow his daughter to integrate into the upper-cla.s.s society as soon as possible? He had to be 120% focused. However, he still had to say some polite words.

Ye Ying naturally heard her father’s words. She said to Jiayi Du in embarra.s.sment, “I’m sorry, Jiayi. I didn’t know it was your birthday tomorrow. I didn’t even prepare a birthday gift.”

How could Ye Ying compare to Du Jiayi? Du Jiayi, who secretly curled her lips in disdain, smiled brightly. “Do I lack a gift from you? It’s fine as long as you’re there. When the time comes, I’ll introduce a few friends who are about your age to you. In the future, you can hang out with them when you’re out on vacation.”

How could Ye Ying not hear the hidden meaning in Du Jiayi’s words? She despised her for not being able to give her a gift that made her think highly of her.

She had never done anything to make her angry, but she kept saying harsh things all night. However, she made herself seem magnanimous and polite.

Ha, wasn’t she just afraid that she would take away Madam Li’s favor?
