The Qin Family and Xia Family were aristocratic families in the capital; there are even registers of their ancestors beyond three generations. However, the Qin family and Xia Family were slightly different. The Qin Family’s old ancestor went overseas during the war, he returned to the country later on and became a diplomat, allowing the Qin Family to take root in the capital.
As for the Xia Family, they did not go anywhere. During the war, the five brothers of the Xia Family’s ancestors discarded their pens and picked up arms; there were only three brothers remaining when the war ended. Xia Family’s old ancestor was the youngest; he had become the only senior in the Xia Family right now.
Both families were considered aristocratic families in the capital; they should have individual relationships through marriage. But in fact, there was no such marriage, causing Qin Xiu’s mother to put in a lot of effort trying to marry her daughter into the Xia Family.
Qin Xiu did not care about such matters, but he couldn’t completely ignore it. Otherwise, it would be hard for him to explain it to his parents.
Qin Xiu was already pondering how to start a conversation with Xia Jinyuan. Just from the earlier confrontation through a single glance, he was able to tell the arrogance in Xia Jinyuan’s bones. It was not only a mere performance of ego, but it was also from the noble foundations of an aristocratic family. It could be seen that he was not an approachable character.
As for himself, it was the same. He may seem refined in manner, but there are also tendencies of alienating people in his bones.
After getting off the vehicle, Qin Xiu said to Xia Jinyuan: “The Major General is waiting for your reports. I’ll be bringing Lil’ Ye over.”
” Sorry to trouble Translator Qin,” Xia Jinyuan remained courteous and smiled at him. He then said to Ye Jian, “You’ll be by the leader’s side for two days. If the leader asks you anything, reply honestly. No need to put in much consideration.”
They might not have the chance to meet tonight. By the time he finished reporting to the major general, she might have returned to her room to rest.
Qin Xiu was a smart person. He was able to tell Ye Jian, and Xia Jinyuan also knew each other. He stood by the side gracefully without saying much, quietly waiting for the two to end their conversation.
” Ok, I understand,” Ye Jian knew he was worried that she was overthinking things, that’s why he reminded her to speak her mind No matter what, this elegant and dangerous man would remind her during the appropriate moment, telling her what she should do.
Xia Jinyuan wanted to lift his hand to rub her head but held back since there were many comrades present. In the end, he gently patted her shoulder and said gently: “Go on, the leader cares about you, don’t feel burdened.”
A leader couldn’t put on airs to a student. He saw Ye Jian walking in with bandages on her arm; there were even gray marks on her face left behind from the gunfight. The neat student uniform was also messy and wrinkled; he immediately said to Qin Xiu: “Hurry, hurry and call the doctor to check the child’s wounds.”
” There’s no need to; I’ve already dealt with it in the car. It’s just a light wound, there’s no need for a doctor,” When Ye Jian, who had just entered, heard those words, she was afraid of the leader inviting the doctor over. She said: “Translator Qin also knows about it. You do not need to worry about my wound.”
Qin Xiu gently closed the door. He stood on Ye Jian’s left, he smiled and said: “It’s indeed a light wound. Our Chinese soldiers have dealt with it on the bus; there’s no need for you to worry. It’s not a big deal, just considered a light wound.”
There were four bodyguards with straight postures standing in the room. They had gently swept a glance at Ye Jian when she entered, their gazes were sharp like hawks, causing the hairs on Ye Jian’s body to stand. They were security guards sent over from Zhongnanhai, following the leader 24 hours a day to ensure his safety.
