Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around!

Chapter 2159: Embarrassed

Commander Xia’s expression turned ugly. Ye Jian was the daughter-in-law of the Xia family!

With a prospective daughter-in-law like Ye Jian, Commander Xia felt that no girl could compare to Ye Jian. Even the calm and polite Du Jiayi was inferior.

“If you don’t even know, why did you say that she’s your cousin? You don’t even understand your own matters!” Commander Xia was very protective. His words forced Ye Ying to sweat profusely. That was not all. He frowned and swept his gaze over Ye Ying’s shoulder. His voice became even deeper. “New recruit? You were specially recruited? Who recruited you? Didn’t they investigate your family background? There’s even a special recruit who doesn’t even know if she has a cousin?”

No recruit could withstand the might of the commander-in-chief. Ye Ying, who was already feeling guilty and afraid, was so scared that her knees were weak and her face was pale.

“Chief, I… She’s my cousin, but I don’t know why she said she’s not,” Ye Ying replied in a trembling voice. “I really don’t know!”

Staff Officer Du, who had been humiliated, also turned cold. He had said not to casually bring anyone over! Look, Ye Ying had embarrassed him this time!

No matter how obedient this daughter of a minor official was, she didn’t have much confidence! Unlike Jiayi, who was confident and could accept even if she did something wrong. Jiayi wouldn’t cry easily and make others look down on her.

Commander Xia was furious when he saw a soldier crying.

“Military arts soldier? Commander Zhong, you must have specially recruited a military arts soldier whose specialty is crying!” The commander-in-chief’s anger could not be directed directly at a new recruit. Since the leader of the new recruit was present, he naturally had to say something.

Regiment Commander Zhong felt a headache coming on. It wasn’t their regiment that had specially recruited Ye Ying. It was Staff Officer Du.

Fortunately, Commander Xia’s anger quickly shifted. He asked Staff Officer Du, “She’s the recruit that your wife said she wanted Commander Zhong to take care of, right? Why? Is she related to your Du family?

“That’s strange. If she’s related to your Du family, don’t you know if she has a cousin?”

At this moment, even Madam Li wasn’t qualified to speak. Du Jiayi, who was secretly clenching her fists, was even less qualified. She didn’t know that she would end up harming her own family.

‘Dad… How will he answer that?’

How else could he answer? Staff Officer Du sighed and replied, “Old Xia, calm down. This recruit does have some connections to my family. Her father saved my son—”

“Yes, yes, don’t be angry, Old Xia. It’s scary. She’s a special recruit. She’s quite talented. I’ve seen it myself. She’s the best.” With her husband’s words, Madam Li chimed in. “The child is well-behaved. She has an affinity with me. She’s very kind. She’s a little timid, but I can tell she’s not a troublemaker.

“Calm down. She’s a new recruit who just joined the army. She won’t be able to get used to the things here for a while. After some training, she’ll definitely be a qualified military arts soldier.”

Du Jiayi, who didn’t want to speak up for Ye Ying, had no choice but to speak up, “Commander-in-chief, when I first arrived at the army, I cried because I missed home.”

She didn’t want to make things difficult for her parents because of Ye Ying. She then targeted Ye Ying. “Ye Ying, you said that Ye Jian’s results were bad in the past and it’s strange for her to suddenly get into a military school. Staff Officer Du and Commander Xia are both here. If you have anything to say, just say it.”
