Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! Chapter 779 - Who Was Better At Calculating

Chapter 779: Who Was Better At Calculating

The storm outside showed no signs of stopping. It rained heavily and furiously. Within one hour, the low-lying lands in the Southern Province started getting flooded. The water in the river rose to a frightening level.

Xia Yiwei held her phone between her head and her shoulder. She was walking quickly while wearing her high heels so it gave off a ‘tap, tap, tap’ sound. As she walked hurriedly, she said calmly, “It’s rare to hear you complimenting a young lady. It looks like our family’s Old Sixth does have a good taste.”

Hearing the continuous and hurried sounds of high heels tapping on the ground, Hou Zi furrowed his brows a little. “I didn’t expect the troublesome fellow to become so successful after he grew up. I heard from my staff that he’s a Major now. His military rank is a little low but he’s still young after all. When he reaches my age, he will achieve even more things.”

Hou Zi didn’t leave the hotel. Instead, he pressed the highest level, the 23rd floor, of the hotel. This was his second home in the Southern Province. It was also the place where he dated this woman. This woman was also the only person who could enter both of his houses. It was Xia Yiwei.

After entering the lift, a hint of seduction appeared on Hou Zi’s face, which was beautiful enough to make a woman ashamed. He laughed in a low voice and asked, “Will you be coming over to my house tonight? I just got a bottle of good red wine from France. Shall we savor it together?”

A staff member of the provincial office walked toward Xia Yiwei hurriedly. “Secretary Xia, the water level of the river is rising rapidly. The flood control department called us and said that it’s best for us to activate the transfer plan…”

At the start, Hou Zi could still hear the voice on the phone. Towards the end, he couldn’t hear anything anymore. However, if she didn’t hang up his call, he would never hang up her call.

“I’m not free tonight. Look for your other female friends.” After Xia Yiwei finished speaking, her gaze turned dark for an instant.

Old Sixth was right. She was in a relations.h.i.+p that had no future. She loved a man who was fated to never love. Why should she waste her life guarding this kind of man?

It’s time to let go.

Xia Yiwei was taking an elevator too. She looked at the metallic walls of the elevator quietly. The lady in the mirror was still beautiful and enchanting but her gaze was dull. The face that mesmerized the “monkey” so much that he knocked into the street lamp… was getting old.

She was getting old so she didn’t have the time to suffer because of the same man over and over again. It had been 17 years, from the time when she was 17 years old to now when she was 34 years old. It was time to end the 17 years of relations.h.i.+p.

Her phone rang again. It sounded exceptionally loud in the small s.p.a.ce of the elevator. It was from the governor of the province. He needed to hold an emergency phone meeting on flood prevention and flood control.

As for Hou Zi, Xia Yiwei directly threw him to the back of her mind.

“Check who has been staying beside Miss Xia recently. If you find anything, report to me immediately.” Hou Zi, who had noticed something amiss, ordered as his gaze turned a little sinister. “No matter who it is, investigate them clearly.”

Grandma Ye was saying similar words as she sat on the sofa. “I don’t care who’s behind her. Zhifan, investigate them clearly for me.”

“This is really nonsense! She doesn’t see me as her grandma at all! If the people from the hotel didn’t arrive in time, the two men under your brother-in-law would have died in her hands.”

“She’s so vicious at such a young age. She doesn’t look like a daughter of our Ye family at all! If we don’t bring her back and educate her, she will become a sc.u.m of society.”

“Our Ye family mustn’t produce such a sc.u.m!”

Grandma Ye’s voice was a little low. The callousness in her words made Ye Ying’s heart shudder. At the same time, she felt an indescribable sense of excitement rising in her heart.
