Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! Chapter 1275 - My Yingying Was Giving in to Her

Chapter 1275: My Yingying Was Giving in to Her

He knew about the few high-ranking capital city officials that they were talking about. He also knew where they lived and had been a guest at their houses before. He even revealed that a high-ranking official secretly liked to sculpt dough figurines and that there were a few authentic Master Artist Qi’s paintings in his study room…

After a few rounds of probing, Ye Zhifan was finally certain that this Qin Yi was from the Qin family, a family of diplomats from the capital city.

Only when there was recognition would they be able to have a good conversation. Only then would he be able to restrain Qin Yi from looking at Ye Ying.

Ye Ying was elated. A young and promising diplomat… that seemed interested in her. Did that mean that she had a better chance of entering the capital city?

Ye Ying wasn’t the only one who thought so. Sun Dongqing thought so too. She even thought that if Qin Yi was interested in her daughter and if they start dating and end up as a married couple, her daughter would fly up the branches and become a phoenix[1]!

The mother and daughter’s intention didn’t escape Qin Yi’s eyes. The only one that remained calm was Ye Zhifan. He wanted to use Qin Yi to send Ye Ying into stratocracy[2]. As for the rest… he trusted the power behind the jade more.

No matter how much Qin Yi was interested in Ye Ying, he wouldn’t reveal his impatience. When Ye Zhifan asked about Princ.i.p.al Cao, he heaved a long sigh. He replied with the elegance of a member of the Qin family. “My uncle is a boring person. He could have left Provincial No.1 Middle School and moved to another place to be a government official. Yet, he said that he loves being a princ.i.p.al. What’s good about being a princ.i.p.al? He spent his whole life working so hard. I feel sorry for him.”

“Fortunately, the students from Provincial No.1 Middle School did well. This time, I heard that the nation’s top scholar came out. It allowed my uncle to gain some glory. If not, I would feel unfair for him.”

The nation’s top scholar…

Ye Ying, who had been listening obediently, narrowed her eyes like needles. She lowered her eyebrows, and her beautiful almond eyes flashed with deep hatred.

Ye Jian, just you wait! As long as I enter the military unit, you will never be as good as me even if you enter the military school!

The “nation’s top scorer” not only agitated Ye Ying but also Sun Dongqing. She said in a shrill voice, “What nation’s top scorer? She even said that she got into some military school. I wonder if that’s true.”

“Whether it’s true or not has anything to do with you.” Ye Zhifan had already confirmed what he asked. He was afraid that his wife’s jealousy would leave a bad impression and ruin his daughter’s future.

Ye Zhifan said helplessly to Qin Yi, “The recent nation’s top scholar that has been discussed widely in the province is our niece. She has some conflicts with my family. She once did something to hurt Ye Ying. My wife won’t forgive her until now.”

Ye Zhifan was afraid that Qin Yi would investigate secretly so he might as well say it himself.

However, Qin Yi didn’t care about these things at all. What did it have to do with him if the top scholar in the country was Ye Zhifan’s niece? It had nothing to do with him.

However, to acquire Ye Ying, who was like a flower bud, Qin Yi pretended to be cold and said indignantly, “Director Ye’s daughter looks like an obedient and sensible girl. It seems like the top scholar in the country is nothing like her.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Young Master Qin is right.” In the past few weeks, Sun Dongqing had heard many people talking about how amazing Ye Jian was. She wanted to mock her but she couldn’t find a friend who could agree with her. Now, when she heard what Qin Yi said, she immediately felt the same way. She said furiously, “That wicked girl. If Yingying didn’t help her in school, she would have gotten zero marks for her exams!”
