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

Before she met Du Jiayi, Ye Ying had long been envious. Now that she saw her in person, she was not only envious but also jealous.

If… If she had grown up in the Du family, she wouldn’t be any worse than Du Jiayi!

She remembered a quote from one of the books she read—’Birth determines everything’.

In the past, she didn’t really believe it, but when she saw Jiayi… she really believed it!

Birth really decided everything!

In terms of looks, she was definitely not inferior to Du Jiayi! However, she did not have Du Jiayi’s arrogance!

In terms of temperament, she and Du Jiayi had their own merits. One was arrogant, while the other was gentle. However, she did not have Du Jiayi’s confidence! Moreover, she did not have the temperament that made her look elegant even if she was just doing something as simple as carrying water!

Ye Ying was jealous of Du Jiayi the moment she appeared, but she didn’t dare to show it as she was afraid that Madam Li would notice.

Ever since Madam Li came in, she couldn’t care less about Ye Ying, who had just flattered her. She revealed a doting smile and teased, “Even if I talk behind your back for three days and three nights, I’d still have more to say. I dare to talk about you in front of you, what more behind your back?”

“Your mother is right. You’re the most disobedient. If your mother and I don’t say bad things about you, who else will we say bad things about?” Compared to his eldest daughter, Staff Officer Du doted on his naughty but considerate younger daughter. After teasing her, he introduced her to Ye Zhifan. “Director Ye, this is my younger daughter, Jiayi. Jiayi, come and greet Uncle Ye.”

Then, he pretended to criticize, “Look at you. You don’t know any manners at all. You didn’t even greet me when you came in.”

Du Jiayi was on her home ground. She took off her military cap and placed it on the dining table. She smiled mischievously and said, “You didn’t even introduce me, so how would I know who’s this uncle?”

She stretched out her hand and shook hands with Ye Zhifan. “Hello, Uncle Ye. I’m Du Jiayi. The bad things my parents said just now are all untrue. Don’t believe them.”

Generous, decent, and experienced. Ye Zhifan could tell at a glance that Ye Ying was inferior to her.

He had been an official in the Southern Province for too long, and he had never met a young lady who was around the same age as his daughter among the children of his superior. As for the daughters of those who were at a lower rank than him, they were certainly inferior to his daughter. In comparison, he felt that his daughter had an outstanding temperament.

Compared to Staff Officer Du’s daughter, Ye Zhifan couldn’t help but say to Madam Li and Staff Officer Du, “Seeing Du Jiayi, I really understand what the saying ‘a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix’ means.”

With just this one sentence, the three family members of the Du family were praised. Du Jiayi thought to herself, ‘Interesting.’ Then, she took the initiative to speak to Ye Ying. “You’re indeed very obedient. I don’t even dare to speak loudly anymore. Moreover, you’re even prettier than what my mother said.”

Ye Ying was flattered and quickly stood up. Her anxious tone was filled with admiration. “Miss Du, you’re prettier and very cool.”

“You’re quite honest. That’s right. Although you’re beautiful, you’re indeed a little inferior to me,” Du Jiayi said deliberately with a smile. Her eyes were as bright as diamonds as she looked at Ye Ying.

Her gaze held an obvious appraisal. It was impudent and blunt.

Ye Ying was already nervous because of her words. Now that she was being sized up, she became even more nervous.

Besides, her instincts as a girl told her that despite the way she was smiling at her, there was an unkindness in her gaze that made her gut clench. Du Jiayi didn’t like her.
