Chapter 1361: What a Pity
Ye Zhifan had been busy for a week so he couldn’t leave easily. He brought up Uncle Gen under such circ.u.mstances to warn Ye Jian not to go overboard. If she really made a fuss, she would lose her face along with Uncle Gen’s, who groomed her.
Ye Zhifan had been a government official for more than ten years. He knew how to control other people and make use of them.
“You’re young and immature. As your elder, I can’t let you fool around. I don’t want to argue with you.” Ye Zhifan really didn’t want to argue. He was afraid that if he did, he would be the one at a disadvantage. Facing and adapting to reality, Ye Zhifan lowered his voice and lowered his arrogance. “Ye Jian, leave with your friend. Let us not embarra.s.s each other.”
It was obvious that he didn’t want to embarra.s.s himself. However, through his twist of words, it turned into Ye Jian getting embarra.s.sed.
Ye Zhifan always knew how to distort right from wrong.
In her past life, Ye Jian suffered a lot because of him. It wasn’t her fault but it became her fault. After hearing so many things, even she believed that it was all her fault and had nothing to do with them.
In this lifetime, every time Ye Zhifan distorted the truth, Ye Jian would find it funny.
“It’s a pity that Mr. Ye isn’t a crosstalk actor.” Ye Jian smiled.
In his eyes, Ye Jian was indeed amazing. Even Grandma Ye couldn’t win against her.
However, no matter how powerful she was, she was just an 18-year-old girl. Now that Uncle Gen had left, the tea was cold[1]! What was the use of knowing so many officers?
Ye Jian was only a cadet now!
A cadet might sound impressive, but in current society, where could you go without connections? She may sound glorious now, but she needs to be glorious in the future too! Without Uncle Gen around, Ye Jian would be like an eagle with a broken wing. She would have a hard time flying!
“As soon as Uncle left, you got in the mood to kick up a fuss with me. Ye Jian, the soldiers in the military unit haven’t left. If you’re a sensible person, I’ll give you a piece of advice. Be sensible and don’t interfere with other people’s business!”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xia Jinyuan… This young man had been accompanying Ye Jian from the start. He had handsome facial features, thin lips, and handsome eyes. There was a faint smile on his face, which made him look like someone not to be provoked.
Who was this person? What was his ident.i.ty? Ye Jian chased after him hurriedly and stopped him from talking to him… Was it because she was afraid of the young man?
Ye Zhifan’s gaze turned dark. If Ye Jian was afraid of the young man, his rank would be higher than hers. His position would be higher too.
The rank of a captain was the highest among all lieutenants. It was also the rank of the deputy battalion commander, company commander, and deputy company commander. It was the main rank of the army’s deputy battalion officer and main battalion commander. It could be said that it was quite good that Ye Jian became a captain at such a young age.
Since she was afraid of the young man, he was a Major at the very least and a Senior Colonel at most.
However, the other party didn’t look old. He couldn’t be a senior colonel. He might be a lieutenant colonel or a major.
Looking at the other party’s aura, it was obvious that he lived in a good environment. That was why he didn’t say anything. Just by standing there, people didn’t dare to underestimate his oppressive aura.
That meant that he could quite possibly be Ye Jian’s backer!
