Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! Chapter 2156

Chapter 2156: Confrontation
Facing both sides, Ye Ying, who did not dare to offend either of them, could only lower her head and curse in her heart.
She didn’t want to make a move on Ye Jian right now. She didn’t want Ye Jian to be nearby when she spoke to Staff Officer Du! Thinking of this, Ye Ying couldn’t help but slow down.
Du Jiayi, on the other hand, was the opposite. Neither of the cousins was to her liking. ‘They don’t get along? Perfect! Let them disgust each other. I’ll just stand aside and watch.’
She had to let Madam Li see it and let her know how hypocritical her future daughter-in-law was. The words she said were disgusting!
Ye Ying wanted to walk slowly, but Du Jiayi didn’t give her a chance. She urged, “Walk faster. Do you want my parents and Commander Zhong to wait for you?
“My mother hates waiting! Don’t make her angry.”
None of her words could be as lethal as this. Ye Ying could only grit her teeth and chase after Du Jiayi to keep up with her.
She shouldn’t worry about this and that. How could Ye Jian be beside her when she spoke? Her luck couldn’t be that bad!
Even if Ye Jian was really there, she would just not say anything when the time came.
That’s right. Wouldn’t it be fine if she didn’t say anything? What was she worried about? Instead of worrying about meeting Ye Jian, she might as well coax Madam Li. She could only rely on Madam Li now.
…
Ye Ying, who had adjusted her mentality, pursed her lips and puffed up her cheeks to relax her expression. She smiled obediently and walked out of the passageway.
Outside, Madam Li smiled and said to Commander Xia, “Old Xia, come out and have a chat with us when you’re free. Bring Jinyuan out too. Don’t force him to stay in the army all day long. Young people need to socialize occasionally. If he stays in the army all day long, you might not be able to get a daughter-in-law.”
Not everyone knew that Xia Jinyuan had joined the army, and it was impossible for them to know that he had reached the age of marriage. Commander Zhong was one of them. When he heard this, he smiled and said, “Is the young son of the commander-in-chief at the age of marriage? Remember to invite me to the wedding.”
“I’ll remember it for you, Old Xia. When his son gets married and he’s forgotten to inform you, I’ll call you!” Staff Officer Du agreed with a smile. Once they were outside, he wouldn’t let anyone see that he and Commander Xia didn’t get along. He would make their relationship seem alright.
Commander Xia naturally wouldn’t let anyone in on the truth, so he smiled as well and said, “As long as he’s willing to get married early, I’m happy to invite you all to have a drink. Old Du, oh Old Du, I didn’t attend your children’s first two weddings. Remember to inform me when you host the third one.”
When Staff Officer Du’s eldest son and daughter got married, the Du family did not invite Commander Xia at all. Now that the old matter was brought up again, the smile on Staff Officer Du’s face was a little forced.
What did Old Xia mean? Was he to blame?
Commander Xia’s meaning was obvious. The relationship between the two families was so ordinary. It was best not to interact with each other in public, let alone say something that would make others think that the two families were very close.
“Of course, of course. You escaped from the first two. I can’t let you escape from the last two.” When it came to socializing, Madam Li was much better at it. She quietly changed the topic to a joke.
Commander Zhong did not talk much. He smiled when he should and said a few words when he should. The two people standing in front of him were not people he could interrupt casually. He just had to listen carefully.
