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

2833 Chapter 2833
There were two sides to life. One was genuine, and the other was hypocritical. Madam Li was both genuine and hypocritical to Madam Xiao.

After so many years, Madam Xiao might know Madam Li’s hypocrisy, and Madam Li might know Madam Xiao’s pretense.

The two women’s ages combined were more than 100 years old. They were both open-minded and indifferent. They could not be bothered to argue with one another.

This was why Du Jiayi said that she couldn’t understand Madam Li and Madam Xiao’s interactions. It was because the young Du Jiayi was far from as strong-willed as the two mothers.

At night, the hospital was frighteningly cold. The long corridor was lit up by snow-white lights, making the surroundings empty and spacious. But when they walked in, they still felt very oppressive.

Madam Xiao heard footsteps outside. She was on the phone and sighed before saying, “Alright, I heard Chenglan’s footsteps. I’m hanging up.”

It was unknown who was on the other end of the phone or what they were saying, but Madam Xiao’s already bad expression turned a little gloomy. “What if I say that I know everything?”

Commander Xia, who was on the other end of the phone, was really shocked by her words. He frowned and said in a low voice, “Since you already know, why are you still interacting with her?”

“Decades have passed. She and I have already lived more than half of our lives. We didn’t know when we were young, but what’s the use of knowing now that we’re old?

“The past is the past. Even if she set me up, if I didn’t have a problem with my character, I wouldn’t have fallen for it no matter how capable she was.

“Old Xia, not everything is Chenglan’s fault. It’s my fault. It has nothing to do with other people. If I wasn’t so proud and conceited in the past, none of these things would have happened.
“I’ve known Chenglan for many years. I know how well she treats me and how badly she treats me. My life is almost over. I don’t have the energy to care about those things. Moreover…”

Madam Li was already standing at the door, but she saw that Madam Xiao was on the phone. As she stood there, she asked Du Jiayi to stand outside and wait for Madam Xiao to end the call before going over.

Madam Xiao, who was waving outside, didn’t avoid her. She maintained the same posture as when she was on the phone just now. She just lowered her voice a little. “Besides, I know that Old Du is secretly investigating Ah Yuan. I also know that Li Chuhai is back. It’s impossible for me to alienate Chenglan.”

Xia Jinyuan, who was also standing beside his father and listening to the call that had been left on speakerphone, had a dark look in his eyes. He quickly wrote two words on the paper.

“Why is Old Du investigating Ah Yuan? Who else is he investigating?”

There was only the name ‘Ye Jian’ and a question mark on the paper.

Xia Jinyuan wasn’t afraid that the Du family would investigate him, but he was worried that Ye Jian would be implicated because of him.

“I didn’t hear about him investigating anyone else. I only heard about him investigating Ah Yuan unintentionally. Alright, it’s not convenient for me to talk about it now. Tonight…” Madam Xiao sighed softly again, and there was a faint smile on her pale face. “Thank you for specially calling me to show concern for me tonight. Don’t worry, I won’t go to the old residence again. As for Ah Yuan… I won’t meet him again.

“If there’s anything urgent in the future, I’ll contact you directly.” She ended the call without even saying goodbye and deleted the call log.
