Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! Chapter 2157

Chapter 2157: Impure Motive

The conflict between the Xia and Du families was not something to be discussed openly. Commander Zhong did not know about the twists and turns in the matter and only thought that the two chiefs were teasing each other.

Ye Jian didn’t disturb Commander Xia when she walked out. She even told the guard to wait for her.

“Who are you waiting for? Do you need me to take you there?”

A clear and polite voice came from behind. At first, the guard felt that the woman who spoke was very cultured even before seeing her in person.

However, Ye Jian, who had already seen the person, knew that her politeness was fake. When she spoke, her tone was sharp. It sounded polite, but every word was directed at her.

Ye Ying was walking with Du Jiayi. Ye Ying was just a chess piece for Du Jiayi, waiting to be taken advantage of.

Turning, Ye Jian smiled at the northern belle. “No, thank you.”

“Is there really no need? Didn’t you sit with Commander Xia previously? Are you looking for Commander Xia? Ye Ying told me that you and her are cousins. I’m on good terms with Ye Ying. If you have any difficulties, tell me. I’ll solve them for you.”

Du Jiayi finished speaking to Ye Jian. She decided to let the two of them argue. She smiled at Ye Ying and said, “Just now, you said that you were afraid that your cousin wouldn’t talk to you. Look, I spoke up for you first. How could she ignore you?”

Ye Jian thought that the two’s relations.h.i.+p was good, but it turned out that it was nothing much. Ye Ying’s face was so stiff that she couldn’t even smile. Du Jiayi acted as if she didn’t see it.

…

In her previous life, Sun Dongqing had said that Ye Ying and her sister-in-law’s relations.h.i.+p was average. In this life, although many things had changed, their relations.h.i.+p was still average.

Ye Jian didn’t intend to deal with the two of them. She smiled and replied, “Ye Ying and I are not cousins. Miss Du, since you don’t know the situation, it’s better to stay out of other people’s business.

“Ye Ying and I are not cousins, so our relations.h.i.+p is naturally ordinary. No, not ordinary. It’s a very, very bad relations.h.i.+p.”

Ye Jian, who was smiling, directly exposed her true relations.h.i.+p with Ye Ying. She even specially called Du Jiayi ‘Miss Du’.

Ye Ying looked at Du Jiayi in bewilderment and then at Ye Jian.

Miss Du? Du Jiayi didn’t even introduce herself just now. How did Ye Jian know her surname?

Unless… Unless the two of them already knew each other!

Thinking that the two of them knew each other, Ye Ying’s expression turned cold.

Du Jiayi clearly knew Ye Jian. What was she thinking when she didn’t mention a word of it to her?

Du Jiayi’s expression was ugly as well. She thought that Ye Ying had lied to her and deliberately said that she was Ye Jian’s cousin.

The two of them were very suspicious of each other because of Ye Jian’s words.

Madam Li had already seen Du Jiayi and gestured for Staff Officer Du to bring her over. She smiled and said, “Commander Zhong, there’s a new recruit in your regiment. I’ll have to trouble you to discipline her more. I’ll get her to come over and greet you in case she doesn’t know that you’re her regiment commander when she sees you in the future.”

When Commander Xia heard this, he knew who the recruit was and smiled calmly. “Then I’ll leave first. I still have something to deal with.”

“Alright, I’ll call Shuman when I have time. Bring Jinyuan out to have dinner with her. Shuman has already returned to the country to settle down. You should let the mother and son meet often.”

Madam Li, who was almost at a disadvantage just now, even tried to humiliate Commander Xia in front of a regiment commander.

‘Trying to embarra.s.s the Du family? Xia Xinhui, do you dare to mention your family?’
