Remembering how Supreme Commander Xia teased Xia Jinyuan without leaving him face, Ye Jian started chuckling, “Supreme Commander is a strict father but also a loving father, which is visible from our conversation.” After pausing for a moment, the slightly dry red lips of hers arched into a more profound smile, “I’d never imagine the Supreme Commander had such aside in private.”
“That has never happened with me present before, my Big Uncle, Second Uncle, Youngest Uncle and Aunt all adored their daughters, but they can be ruthless towards their sons. Those cousins of mine had their share of beatings over the years.” Unintentionally, Xia Jinyuan started mentioning his relatives; the Xia Family always valued familial ties, everyone’s kid was like their own, if their sons made a mistake, then beat him up, if the girls made a mistake… as long as it’s not something that was morally wrong, they’d basically choose to ignore it.
Hearing that, Ye Jian couldn’t help but to gulp, Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, Youngest Uncle, Aunt… including Supreme Commander Xia, who was ranked. Third, there were five of them! As expected of a bigshot clan in the Capital city, their numbers flourished.
“When you have time, I’ll bring you to stroll around my home and get to know some of your relatives. The girls in our Xia Family are quite pampered. There’re plenty of boys in my family, and girls, we only have one each generation! And there’s only Xia Yiwei in my current generation.”
The two of them discussed quietly as they walked into the guesthouse before Ye Zhifan’s eyes; after checking their room numbers, they then went up the stairs. When he set foot on the first step, Xia Jinyuan suddenly turned around and shallowly smirked at Ye Zhifan, leaving him with a disdainful look; besides that, he meant nothing else.
Ye Zhifan didn’t expect him to suddenly look back and was startled by the disdain in his eyes when his guard was down. The relationship between this young man and Ye Jian… wasn’t normal, they were very likely lovers!
After staring at their backs for a while, he managed to calm his nerves and pressed his lips tightly together as we walked into the guesthouse.
For his daughter, he’ll have to find Chen Dongfeng and discuss it with him tonight.
At this time, Ye Ying was currently waiting anxiously in the hotel, the television was turned on, but her mind wasn’t placed on it. She paced around alone in the room, and an impatient expression was written on her delicate face.
She was made to wait inside the hotel, waiting till past 8 p.m., and she hadn’t caught wind of anything, neither does she know if her dad had managed to get into contact with the Lieutenant Colonel, whether or not he managed to settle her matters.
“Following the end of the summer break, our province’s Kainan University is having their first day of welcoming the freshmen…” The provincial satellite TV was broadcasting news about university freshmen moving into their schools, seated on the edge of the bed, Ye Ying’s expression instantly turned gloomy, as she glued her eyes on the TV.”
Kainan University is one of the key universities in Yunnan province and one of the more famous key universities throughout the country.
In the past, she hadn’t even cared about them!
But right now, those inferior to her had all managed to get into key universities. Some blinded fellows from her class even dared to call her and told her where they managed to get into, how they managed to get into, and fakely acted like they were consoling her, saying things like ‘you can retake next year!
Ptooie! They only intended to make a joke out of her!
“Just you wait, all of you, just you wait, one day, there will be one day I’ll make you all listen to my orders obediently!” Tugging at the blanket till it bunched up in her hands, Ye Ying said through gritted teeth with a face full of resentment, the glum in her almond eyes could even manifest into the water now.
After she managed to get into the Beijing Political Group, after she managed to climb up very, very high up the ranks, she’ll have to let them see!
With an increasingly twisted mind, Ye Ying was still unaware that both her feet had already sunk in the dirty swamp, and she was sinking deeper and deeper!
She waited until 9:30 p.m., Ye Ying opened the hotel room door multiple times but didn’t manage to see the familiar figure return; time passed little by little, Ye Ying’s heart also started sinking little by little.
