2792 Cousin
“It’s my cousin, Brother Qin Xiu. I’ll go over and greet my cousin. Brother Qin Xiu, were you waiting for my cousin?”
Qin Xiu’s relations.h.i.+p with Li Jinnian was not so good that he would specially walk over to greet him. However, when he remembered that Ye Jian was there, he strode over without answering Du Jiayi.
His actions made Du Jiayi even more certain that the friend he was waiting for was Li Jinnian, that annoying fellow.
Without thinking too much, Du Jiayi jogged past Qin Xiu and ran forward.
After running a few steps, Du Jiayi suddenly saw a man that made her very afraid… Xia Jinyuan.
!!
Why was he here too?
Should she still go over?!
The fear in her heart made Du Jiayi want to retreat for a moment. However, when she saw that Qin Xiu had pa.s.sed her again, Du Jiayi bit her lower lip and braced herself to continue jogging.
Li Jinnian didn’t pay attention to his surroundings. When he reached the military headquarters, it was impossible for him to remain tense like outside.
He walked past the front of the car and quickly got in. It was as if he was afraid that Xia Jinyuan would suddenly catch up with the car and ask to go with them.
When Li Jinnian started the car, he received a call from a comrade on the team telling him that they had already left the military.
The members of the Storm Commando team sat in two jeeps and left. They were temporarily staying in the same base as the special forces of the Xueyu unit. They would only return to the navy base after confirming the overseas personnel tomorrow.
Xia Jinyuan saw that Li Jinnian was taking his cell phone while starting the car. He furrowed his eyebrows and raised his hand. He knocked on the car window on Ye Jian’s side.
“Don’t open it. Otherwise, we’ll have to listen to him speak for a while.”
Li Jinnian said to Ye Jian calmly. He held his cell phone with his right hand and waved it at the car window, indicating for Xia Jinyuan to retreat. At the same time, he rolled down the car window and leaned over. He said calmly, “Stop talking nonsense. It’s time for you to return to the old residence.”
In front, Du Jiayi had already run over and shouted, “Cousin, Cousin!”
…
Xia Jinyuan and his comrades turned around.
Cousin?
Who?
Yes, that was right.
He had forgotten that this was a very important relations.h.i.+p.
Staff Officer Du was the son-in-law of the Li family. Madam Li was the daughter of Old Master Li’s stepmother. Demon King Li had to call Madam Li… Aunt.
The Du family, which did not get along with the Xia family, was in-laws with the Li family.
“Your aunt’s daughter, Du Jiayi, is here,” Xia Jinyuan reminded him. Behind Du Jiayi… was Qin Xiu.
Why were these two people walking over one after another?
Li Jinnian, who was sitting in the car, also thought of the relations.h.i.+p between the Du family and the Xia family. Before this, he probably didn’t think too much about the relations.h.i.+p between the Du family, the Xia family, and the Li family. Hence, when Li Jinnian heard Du Jiayi’s name, he was stunned.
When he heard ‘Cousin’ being called out twice just now, he didn’t realize who it was referring to. He didn’t know that he was the one being called.
He immediately raised his hand and put down the sun visor in front of Ye Jian’s pa.s.senger seat. “Turn your body. Don’t let the people outside see you.”
There was no sibling relations.h.i.+p between him and Du Jiayi. Even the company addressed them as ‘outsiders’.
Ye Jian also heard Du Jiayi’s voice. She didn’t know that she was calling out to her cousin!
Li…?
Madam Li was… her cousin’s aunt?!
After straightening out their relations.h.i.+p, Ye Jian’s heart trembled.
