Commander-in-Chief Xia’s expression was a bit unpleasant. Ye Jian was the daughter-in-law of the Xia Family!
With Ye Jian as a prospective daughter-in-law, Commander-in-Chief Xia felt that every other girl was inferior to Ye Jian, even Du Jiayi, who was calm and polite.
“You don’t even know the reason, so how can you say that she is your sister? You don’t even understand your own affairs!” Commander-in-Chief Xia was very protective over people he cared for, and his words made cold sweat roll down Ye Ying’s spine. To add on, his brows frowned, and his eyes exuded heavy military might and swept over Ye Ying’s shoulders; his voice deepened, “You’re a new recruit, right? And you were even specially recruited? Who recruited you? They didn’t ask to check about your family relations? A new recruit who doesn’t even know if she has a sister or not?”
No recruits could withstand the Commander-in-Chief’s mighty military might. Ye Ying, who was already afraid due to her guilty conscience, was so frightened that her knees became weakened, and her face turned pale.
“Chief, I… she is my elder sister, but I don’t know why she’s denying it.” Ye Ying tremblingly replied, “I really don’t know.”
Deputy Chief of Staff Du, who was invisibly beaten in the face, also became cold. He had said before not to bring people out casually! Look, they were making a fool of themselves now!
A little official’s daughter, no matter how clever she was, she had no confidence! Unlike Jiayi, she was confident that even if she did something wrong, she wouldn’t shed tears easily, making people look down upon her.
Commander-in-Chief Xia was faintly angry when he saw a soldier cried easily.
“Specially recruited literary and art soldiers? Regiment Commander Zhong, I think you guys recruited a literary and art soldier who specializes in crying!” Commander-in-Chief couldn’t direct his anger at a new recruit. Since the recruit’s leader was present, he naturally questioned the leader.
Regiment Commander Zhong suddenly panicked. Obviously, it wasn’t the Beijing Political Corps that specially recruited this new recruit. It was Du Deputy Chief of Staff himself that recruited her.
Fortunately, Commander-in-Chief Xia’s anger quickly turned away, as he asked Deputy Chief of Staff Du, “Just now your wife mentioned about a soldier that she asked Regiment Commander Zhong to look after, it’s her, right? Why she has something to do with your Du Family?”
“Then that’s weird. Since it has something to do with your Du Family, how come you don’t know that she has a sister?”
At this time, even Mrs. Li was not even qualified to speak, and Du Jiayi, who was secretly holding her palm tightly, was even more disqualified. She didn’t know that her desire to burn the fire to Ye Jian’s side actually ended in burning her family as well.
Dad… how are you going to answer?
How else could he answer? Deputy Chief of Staff Du sighed and replied, “Old Xia, calm down, this recruit does have something to do with my family; her father saved my son…”
“Yeah, yeah, Old Xia, don’t be angry, you’ll scare her. She was specially recruited. She has a very good talent. I have seen it all. It’s great.” With her husband’s words, Mrs. Li took over to help, “This child is well-behaved, has a close relationship with me, and is very kind. Although a little timid, I can tell that she is not a troublemaker.”
“You quickly calm down. She’s a new recruit who just joined the army, she’s not familiar with her surroundings. After a period of training, she will definitely be a qualified literary and artistic soldier.”
Du Jiayi, who didn’t want to help Ye Ying anymore, had no choice but to speak up for her, “Commander-in-Chief, when I just arrived in the army, I also cried a lot because I missed home.”
She didn’t want to make things difficult for her parents because of Ye Ying, so she targeted Ye Ying, “Ye Ying, you told me before that Ye Jian used to have poor grades, and wasn’t it weird that she could suddenly be admitted to the military academy? Deputy Chief of Staff Du and Commander-in-Chief Xia are here; you can say it directly.”
