Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! Chapter 1998 - Getting Along

Chapter 1998 Getting Along

Before Ye Jian came, she thought that she would stay in the capital city for a few days to cooperate with the Military Disciplinary Committee. Who knew that they would only ask her a few questions before letting her go?

Hence, when Commander Xia asked her about it, Ye Jian felt a little uneasy.

It was the new year, but she had come to the capital. If she didn’t go to Commander Xia’s house to pay her respects, she would be rude.

But if she went… Captain Xia wasn’t by her side. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for her to

go?

There was one more thing to consider. Commander Xia wouldn’t be in his own residence during the new year. He would probably have to go back to the old residence of the Xia family in Beihai Old Alley to spend the new year with Old Master and Old Madam.

If she wanted to go over, wouldn’t she have to go to the old residence?

It was winter, but Ye Jian’s forehead was dripping with sweat.

She also wanted to appear magnanimous, but she really could not bring herself to say the words that she would go to the old residence to give her new year greetings. She felt a little fl.u.s.tered.

After thinking for a few seconds, she replied respectfully, “Before I came, I thought that I would stay in the Military Disciplinary Committee for a few days. I didn’t expect that I would be able to leave so soon. Commander in Chief, I haven’t thought about whether I should go back to the Southern Province or stay in the capital for a few more days.”

She should just say whatever she wanted to say. Who was Commander Xia? He was a general, and his sharp eyes revealed his true colors. It was better for her to be honest and not have any tricks up her sleeves.

Indeed, she never thought that she would have to rush here. The Military Disciplinary Committee only knew just as much as she knew about her mother’s case. They told her that the people involved in the case were not simple. They even reminded her not to interfere.

… The entire conversation was completely different from what she had imagined. They did not even reprimand her, let alone make things difficult for her.

Her respectful tone made Commander Xia feel a little helpless. As an open-minded parent, he had expressed to his future daughter-in-law many times that he was an elder who was easy to get along with.

But in the end, she was still as reserved in front of him. He lowered his eyebrows, and his gaze completely lacked the imposing manner he had when speaking to Senior Colonel Tan earlier.

Did he not have any affinity with her?

Commander Xia, who suspected that he wasn’t friendly enough, smiled amiably and said, “If you want to stay in the capital for a few days, I’ll get Yiwei to bring you around. If you want to go back to the Southern Province to accompany Old Chen, I’ll get the guards to send you to the airport.

“I won’t bring you to the old residence today. If Little Six were here, I’d get him to pick you up without a second thought. Unfortunately, he’s not in the capital now. We can only wait for him to come back.”

Commander Xia could naturally see the hesitation in Ye Jian’s heart. She was a good child. She never acted pretentiously to the other people around her. She was frank and didn’t have any ulterior motives.

The Xia family did not need a scheming daughter-in-law. What the Xia family wanted was a daughter-in-law who was as broad-minded as a man.

Ye Jian knew that Commander Xia must have seen through her concerns, so she pursed her lips in embarra.s.sment. “Commander Xia, when Captain Xia comes back, I’ll go to the old residence to visit Old Master and Old Madam.”

Hence, she planned to return to the Southern Province today.

“Alright. I’ll tell Little Six what you said and ask him to arrange a time with you to visit Old Master and Old Madam. Coincidentally, the two of them have been looking forward to you coming over.” The guard had already driven the car over. Commander Xia got into the car and said, “To the airport.”

Ye Jian heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was filled with grat.i.tude. She felt that Commander Xia’s family was very easy to get along with. In the future, she would… Yes, in the future, she must be filial to Commander Xia, as well as Old Master and Old Madam.
