Chapter 2158: The Show Begins

‘Why wouldn’t I dare?’

The honest Commander Xia shook his head and sighed with a smile. “Try to persuade her. Her child has grown up and joined the army. As a father, I can’t even see him once a year. Tell her not to keep thinking about pestering her son to come back to visit her.”

Commander Zhong knew that the commander-in-chief had been divorced for many years. Although it sounded a little awkward, since the commander-in-chief himself had said it himself, there was no longer any awkwardness.

The smile on Madam Li’s face faded a lot. She did not expect Old Xia to talk about his private matters in front of a regiment commander!

The mother failed to turn the tables, and the daughter did not manage to sow discord between the two cousins.

Du Jiayi’s gaze was so cold that it was a little gloomy.

She glanced at Ye Jian and lowered her gaze slightly. She looked down at Ye Jian and said with a faint smile, “No wonder I couldn’t find any information about you. You’re still a military school student.

“Instead of sitting properly in the cla.s.sroom, the military school student was running around. Ye Jian, be careful or you’ll never graduate.”

These words were extremely vicious. What she meant was that Ye Jian might even lose her life.

The guard had already walked over. Without waiting for Ye Jian to answer, Du Jiayi smiled and brushed past Ye Jian’s shoulder arrogantly.

…

Ye Ying recalled Du Jiayi’s words and felt that something was amiss. After Du Jiayi had taken a few steps, Ye Ying raised her chin and said arrogantly, “Ye Jian, you want to fight me? You’ll die miserably!”

“I’ll wait for you then, Ye Ying.” Facing Ye Ying, who deliberately stayed behind to humiliate herself, Ye Jian smiled. Her dark eyes stared at Ye Ying, and she smiled meaningfully. “Let’s see who will be worse off.”

Ye Ying’s eyes widened as she blurted out angrily, “That package…”

She couldn’t say it. What if it wasn’t her? Her father had said that Ye Jian didn’t have the ability. If she said that, it would be equivalent to giving her the evidence!

She swallowed her words and glared at Ye Jian angrily. She chased after Du Jiayi in a panic.

Du Jiayi walked quickly with a dark expression. Ye Jian didn’t want to come over? Ha, she would make Ye Jian come over!

She walked over and first saluted Commander Xia and Commander Zhong. Then, she said respectfully, “Commander, the military student over there wishes to come over but doesn’t dare to. Do you want the guards to bring her over?”

“Child, why are you always so enthusiastic? You think everyone is like you and is so bold.” Madam Li pretended to chide her, but due to her smile, everyone knew that she didn’t really blame Du jiayi.

With outsiders present, Du Jiayi seemed very calm. Her lips curved into a proper smile as she explained seriously, “Mom, you misunderstood me. Ye Ying told me that the military school student was her cousin, so I specially went over to greet her. However…”

She paused for a moment and said something that made Ye Ying panic, “But she said that she and Ye Ying aren’t cousins. I’m a little confused. Why don’t you ask Ye Ying to call Ye Jian over to ask? They both have the surname Ye. Ye Ying is so obedient. She can’t possibly spout nonsense.”

Madam Li didn’t like messy relatives. She should investigate Ye Zhifan’s relatives.

Tomorrow, she would return to the company and instruct her subordinates to investigate.

Frowning, she looked at Ye Ying and said coldly, “What happened? Is she your cousin?” She shouldn’t embarra.s.s her daughter!

“Madam, she’s my cousin. I’m not lying to you.” Ye Ying, who was crying, looked at Madam Li obediently. Soon, she lowered her head and said uneasily, “I don’t know why she would say that she’s not my cousin in front of Sister Jiayi. She’s clearly my cousin. Commander-in-Chief. I’m not lying to you.”

Ye Ying wanted to say many bad things about Ye Jian, but the commander-in-chief’s threatening gaze made her not dare to do anything.
