Facing both parties who she didn’t dare to offend directly, Ye Ying, who could only curse silently, lowered her head and kept cursing with every step she took.
She didn’t want to meet Ye Jian at all. She didn’t want to have Ye Jian standing not far away when she spoke to Deputy Chief of Staff Du! Thinking of that, Ye Ying couldn’t help slowing her steps down a lot.
Du Jiayi was the opposite. She didn’t like the two sisters. Was their relationship not good? Great! Then she would let them fight each other, and she would just stand by and watch the excitement.
She had to let Mrs. Li see it, let her know how hypocritical her dear daughter-in-law was, and how disgusting her words were that they were enough to make people vomit!
Ye Ying still wanted to leave slowly, but Du Jiayi refused to give a chance at all; she urged, “Walk faster, do you want my parents and Regiment Commander Zhong to wait for you.”
“My mom doesn’t like waiting for someone! Don’t make my mom angry.”
All the words were not as lethal as the last sentence. Ye Ying had no choice but to grit her teeth and catch up with Du Jiayi’s pace.
She couldn’t be worried about too many things; how could it be that Ye Jian was next to her when she wanted to talk bad about her? Her luck couldn’t be that bad!
In case Ye Jian was really by her side, then she would just not keep quiet, no big deal.
Yes, she could just keep quiet, right? What else was she worried about! Instead of worrying about encountering Ye Jian, it was better that she coax Mrs. Li. She could only rely on Mrs. Li now.
Ye Ying, who had adjusted her mentality, tightened the corners of her mouth, sighed continuously to relax her facial expression, revealing Mrs. Li’s favorite smile, and walked out of the pathway with a certain distance.
Outside, Mrs. Li smiled and talked to Commander-in-Chief Xia, “Old Xia, let’s find a time to go out and chat when you’re free and bring Ah Yuan out. Don’t force him to stay in the army all the time. Young people occasionally need to be a little sociable. If he always stays in the army, you should be careful later he finds a man to be your daughter-in-law.”
Not everyone knew that Xia Jinyuan was enlisted in the army. And it was even more impossible to know that he had reached the age of getting married. Regiment Commander Zhong was one of them. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, “The Commander-in-Chief’s son has already reached the age of marriage? Hey, you must remember to invite me to your son’s wedding when the time comes.”
“I will help Old Xia to remind you. When his son gets married, if he forgets to notify you, I will call you!” Deputy Chief of Staff Du responded with a smile. When he went outside, he wouldn’t let anyone see that he and Commander-in-Chief Xia were actually not very friendly with each other. Instead, he would always make it seem as if they had a good relationship.
Commander-in-Chief Xia naturally wouldn’t let people see it as well, so he smiled, “As long as he wants to get married sooner, I’m happy to invite you all to have a drink. Old Du, ah, Old Du, I didn’t attend the first two weddings in your family. You must remember to notify me when you have the third wedding.”
The eldest son and eldest daughter of Deputy Chief of Staff Du got married. The Du family did not invite Commander-in-Chief Xia at all. Now that the old matter was brought up again, the smile on Deputy Chief of Staff Du’s face was somewhat far-fetched.
What did Old Xia mean? Was he blaming him?
Commander-in-Chief Xia’s meaning was very obvious. The relationship between the two families was just so-so. If they could choose not to interact with each other in public, they would, let alone speaking with each other as if the two families were very close.
“Definitely, we let you escape the first two weddings, so we surely won’t let you escape the latter two weddings.” In social interaction, Mrs. Li was much better at it. Sbe turned the topic into a joke topic while keeping her voice steady.
Regiment Commander Zhong didn’t talk too much; he just laughed when he should laugh and said a few words when he should talk. The two standing in front of him were not those he could intervene at will, so he would just listen to them carefully.
