Du Jiayi had investigated Ye Jian before. Hearing that, she said softly, “Mom, she’s studying at the National Science University now. There’s no one behind her. Also, the last time you asked me why my expression was so bad when I came home, I was angry at her.
“I wonder what ability this woman has to charm the male soldiers around her. They’re all willing to listen to her commands and do things for her.
“Mom, she’s Sun Ying’s sister. They’re from the same family. It’s obvious that she’s the same as Sun Ying. Every one of them wants to climb up the social ladder and become a phoenix.
In front of her mother, Du Jiayi didn’t have to pretend to be someone she wasn’t. However, she was also a smart person. When she spoke ill of people, she made sure to be loud and clear. She wasn’t pretentious; she exuded a hearty aura.
After all, she was a military arts soldier in a military uniform.
“You reminded me that the two sisters are the same kind of people. Don’t interfere in this matter. I’ll handle it myself. After you retire from the army, focus on taking the postgraduate entrance examination. Don’t worry about the outside world. I’ll handle it myself.”
Madam Li already had a plan in mind. What were the students from military school afraid of the most? They were most afraid of messy relations.h.i.+ps outside. In that case, she could make use of this.
Looking at how Li Jinnian was protecting her, she wondered how long he could protect her.
In the past, she could coax her father to s.n.a.t.c.h the good things from her cousin. Now, she could let her cousin’s son want something but not get it!
As for this matter, there was no need for her daughter, who was going to marry into the Qin family, to interfere. This was to prevent others from talking about it and making the Qin family unhappy.
Du Jiayi knew what Madam Li was hinting at. Before she could speak, her face turned red. She said shyly, “Mom, I’ll do well on the postgraduate entrance examination. Aunt Yu said that she hopes that I can work with Qin Xiu in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future. If the two of us have something in common, it’ll promote our relations.h.i.+p.”
The aunt she was talking about was Qin Xiu’s mother, Madam Qin.
Madam Qin didn’t like Du Jiayi joining the military. She felt that when the time came, her son and daughter-in-law would be too busy. She didn’t know when she would be able to have a grandchild in that case, so she probed Du Jiayi and asked if she had considered leaving the army. If she had, she might as well take the postgraduate entrance examination and try to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Du Jiayi was supposed to retire from the army at the end of this year and planned to enter a new school before joining a good unit. Now that Madam Qin had suggested it, Madam Li took advantage of the situation and accepted the suggestion.
Both sides were happy.
Madam Li had a plan in mind, so she didn’t show her anger on her face anymore. She adjusted her expression before going to see the doctor.
On the other hand, Li Jinnian said to Ye Jian, “She might hold a grudge against you. I’ll ask Xia Jinyuan to be on guard in advance so that she won’t cause you unnecessary trouble.”
“Hold a grudge against me?” Ye Jian raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Brother,
Du Jiayi and Madam Li have held a grudge against me from the very start. Du
Jiayi thinks that I offended her and even investigated me secretly.”
“The relations.h.i.+p between the Li family and the Xia family is just average. I don’t care what happens to the mother and daughter.”
Ye Jian had mentioned her matter with Du Jiayi to Li Jinnian the last time they accidentally ran into Du Jiayi in the military’s headquarters, but she had not mentioned Madam Li’s matter.
Now that they met again, Ye Jian, who was already mentally prepared, didn’t bother about them.
When Madam Li was criticizing the Fu family’s upbringing just now, she would’ve refuted her if she hadn’t been pulled away by her cousin. She didn’t care who Madam Li was!
Li Jinnian was a cautious person. He decided to tell Xia Jinyuan what happened just now.
When the cousins walked out of the elevator and were about to reach Old Master Fu’s ward, Ye Jian’s footsteps became slower and slower… Commander Xia was leading the group. There were a few burning gazes smiling at her…
“Your boyfriend’s uncles,” Li Jinnian reminded her in time.
Ye Jian felt her knees go soft.. Why were her knees a little weak?
