Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! Chapter 2167

Chapter 2167: How Reluctant
She was not bad-looking either. Her eyes were as clear as the moon. What was even rarer was the expression in her eyes. There was a sense of trust that made people believe her at a glance.
There was no need to mention her temperament. She had the valiant aura of a female soldier and the determination of a male soldier. She appeared like a pine tree standing at the top of a mountain, accompanied by a green moon.
This female soldier was quite powerful!
However, her gaze was too clear and there was a hint of coldness between her brows. She did not look gentle and obedient. Madam Li did not like that about her.
After sizing up Ye Jian, Madam Li looked at Ye Ying beside her and lowered her head. Although she was a little anxious because of Jiayi, she didn’t kick up a fuss with her… She was definitely more obedient and likable.
However, the expression on Ye Ying’s face… Madam Li’s eyes turned cold.
If she still did not understand what was going on, she would have lived decades in vain.
However, she had just praised Ye Ying and even made the two cousins confront each other. She couldn’t turn around and criticize Ye Ying now. That would be slapping her own face.
Then, she smiled and said, “You both are truly from the same family. No wonder you’re both slender and beautiful. It turns out that you’re cousins. Ye Ying, your cousin got into military school, and now, she’s in the capital city’s political regiment. It’s time to put away your insecurities as the younger relative, do you understand?”
It was indeed a big deal to suspect that a military school student had cheated her way into the military school. However, it could also be said to be the jealousy of a younger relative.
…
Madam Li, who didn’t want things to worsen, warned Ye Ying with a smile. At the same time, she protected Ye Ying.
Ye Ying did not answer immediately. She thought of what Du Jiayi had said and was too tempted. She wanted to tell the commander-in-chief loudly that Ye Jian was not capable at all. She wanted to say… She wanted to say…
The words were already on the tip of her tongue, but because of Madam Li’s gaze, her heart turned cold. No, no, Madam Li was already angry. If she didn’t go along with her wishes, she would be in trouble.
With a look of hurt, she nodded. “I’ll remember your words,” she said in a choked voice. “I won’t… I won’t dare to do it again.”
It was ‘I won’t dare to do it again’ and not ‘I won’t do it again’. The difference in meaning was huge. It was obvious how unwilling Ye Ying was to answer that.
Madam Li’s expression turned cold. Before she could say anything, Du Jiayi said with a faint smile, “You don’t dare? It seems that there’s really something wrong here. The reason why you don’t dare is that you’re being threatened, right? Ye Ying, you were talking nicely to me just now. Now, you’re coming up with another excuse. Are you kidding me?”
“Shut up!” This time, even Staff Officer Du’s face darkened. He looked sternly at his aggressive daughter today and said in a low voice, “What are you messing around for?!”
Du Jiayi smiled sweetly. “Dad, I’m really not messing around. Yesterday, Ye Ying said that there were many problems with her cousin. She even asked me to bring it up to you first. I—”
Ye Ying interrupted her with a trembling voice, “Sister Jiayi, please stop. I know I was wrong.”
“Jiayi, mind your image!” Madam Li turned her head. This time, her warning tone was much deeper than before. It contained obvious anger. “You need evidence for everything. If there’s no evidence, what’s the use of just talking?”
Madam Li’s protection of Ye Ying was seen by Du Jiayi, making her even angrier.
Her mother was still protecting her! If she didn’t tear off Ye Ying’s fake face on the spot, her surname wouldn’t be Du!
However, if she forced Ye Ying out again, she would anger her mother. It was not worth it to anger her mother for Ye Ying.
Alright, since she couldn’t force Ye Ying out, she would talk to Ye Jian.
