How could she embarrass the Commander-in-Chief, how could she disappoint him, and how could she disappoint her relatives who cared about her and love her?
She lived for herself but also lived for the people who cared about her and loved her!
Being alive in this life, wasn’t it just to fight for herself?
She suffered a miserable loss in her previous life. In this life, she was more than just fighting for herself. She had to fight back the voice she had lost in her previous life!
At the same time, she had to admit that it was indeed because of her relationship with Captain Xia and the Commander-in-Chief Xia that her mother’s matter could be brought up again.
She didn’t have to be angry because she had these relationships. Instead she should cherish it.
Only if she knew how to cherish could she know the truth deeply!
She didn’t rely on her “relationships” to get her to where she was today. As Uncle Chen said if she didn’t have enough abilities and potential, how could she get Captain Xia’a attention?
The fact that her mother’s affairs could be taken seriously by the Military Commission for Discipline Inspection was inseparable from her own efforts!
But before all of this, she really did not expect that she could fight justice for her mother just because of her outstanding performance!
Ye Jian smiled; finally, her pale face had a smile, the kind of smile that looked like a white magnolia blooming in spring rain, with nine petals of flower knots, pale as jade, bright and beautiful.
That was the smile that came from letting go of the body and mind, her face was like a magnolia, and the air was like an orchid.
When Principal Chen saw this, he knew that she really understood his intentions, so he easily turned the topic away, “Tomorrow is the second day of the new year, a few soldiers want to go to have a walk in the city. Regiment Commander Liu and Political Commissar Yan called this morning; they want to have dinner together tomorrow night. Let’s set off together tomorrow morning and enjoy the day.”
Knowing that the Military Commission for Discipline Inspection set up a task force to investigate her mother’s sacrifice, Ye Jian was really overjoyed and relieved. Upon hearing this, she said crisply, “Okay, I will walk with you then.”
Shopping was not a common occurrence for Ye Jian. Walking into the largest department store in Yunnan Province with a few soldiers in casual clothes, Ye Jian, who rarely bought a piece of clothing, secretly calculated her monthly living expenses subsidy from her military academy, and some allowances and subsidies for performing tasks. Then she said to the soldiers around her, “I will go to the men’s clothing area for a while; you and the chief instructor chat first so that he will not notice me leaving.”
“The chief instructor is not easy to hold back; you have to be quick.” The soldier did not have the confidence to hold the chief instructor, who was in awe of the sniper base for a long time, but he would definitely help out the request from a female soldier.
Ye Jian smiled and said “thank you” and hurriedly walked towards the high-end men’s clothing area before Principal Chen could notice her.
She wanted to buy a woolen sweater for Principal Chen; she had almost enough money in her card now.
The mall during the second day of the new year was very quiet; it was the Chinese New Year, after all. The sales assistant welcomed Ye Jian very enthusiastically. She judged Ye Jian’s purchasing ability by the clothes she was wearing and recommended a thin woolen sweater of more than $800.
Ye Jian liked a thick navy blue woolen sweater, but it was double the price. She looked at the size and took an extra-large one, “This one is fine. Bill out for me, please.”
The woolen sweater cost more than $1,600; it was very expensive. Ye Jian didn’t even own such expensive clothes herself.
There was no need to buy such expensive clothes for all seasons of the year.
The sales assistant was naturally very happy and immediately took Ye Jian to the checkout counter.
When she returned, Ye Jian heard a familiar voice that was gentle but aggressive.
“I like this one very much. Since there is only an XL, give it to me first, and I can give you cash right away. As for the customer who is going to buy this as well, can’t you just explain to her later that you found that the sweater is defective?”
It was a very familiar voice,…Ah, so it was Ye Ying, the girl whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.
