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

Amused, Madam Li patted her daughter’s arm. “How rude. Sit up straight. Don’t affect the guard’s driving.”

“I’m not done yet.” Du Jiayi sat back with a grin and continued to talk about what she didn’t like about Ye Ying. “I don’t like her much. It feels like she’s putting on an act. She was blushing and acting all shy throughout the night. It made me look thick-skinned. That’s what I don’t like about it.”

“Also, Mom, didn’t you notice that her gaze was a little frivolous? As soon as Li Yuan came in, she quickly glanced at him and lowered her head. At that time, I really thought that she was shy, but in the end, you said that you wanted her to be Li Yuan’s girlfriend. Ha…” Du Jiayi snorted softly with a mocking expression. “She started to stare at Li Yuan from time to time. It was not an embarrassed look. She was completely sizing him up. She wanted to see if Li Yuan was worthy of her.

“She’s just the daughter of a small chief. What right does she have to ponder over whether Li Yuan is worthy of her?”

Du Jiayi’s words had a great impact on Madam Li. After a long time, she nodded and said, “You’re young as well, so you look at other young people from a different perspective. Sometimes, you can indeed see through things more clearly than adults.

“From what you said, it’s indeed possible that Ye Ying deliberately acted well to leave a good impression on me. However…”

Although she agreed with her daughter, Madam Li didn’t deny her adoration for Ye Ying. “However, she’s indeed gentle and filial. You can tell from how she served tea for Ye Zhifan from time to time.”

He turned to ask Li Yuan, who was full of interest, “What about you? What do you think?”

Her daughter’s thoughts were important, but everything still depended on her son.

“I have no objections as long as the person can get past you and sister.” Li Yuan shrugged indifferently. Ye Ying’s beautiful face flashed across his mind, and his eyes shone with slightly more interest. “Her father isn’t bad. The Southern Province is a good province. I want to develop in the Southern Province. If Ye Zhifan gives me pointers, everything should go smoothly.”

Du Jiayi rolled her eyes at Li Yuan. “Do you still need Ye Zhifan’s guidance to develop in the Southern Province? Isn’t it enough with Uncle’s guidance? Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle can also help. Do you still need Ye Zhifan?”

“Sister, you’re dreaming. Uncle will only help Li Jinnian. How would he help Mom? It’s already good enough that he doesn’t go against Mom. I don’t want to rely on Third Uncle either. He’s been overseas for so many years. He doesn’t have anything in the country. How can he help me?”

At the mention of his maternal relatives, Li Yuan’s eyes darkened. “With Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle around, ha, what can we possibly hope to do?”

“If you don’t fight for it, how do you know whether or not you can do anything? Third Uncle was forced to leave the country by Eldest Uncle back then. Now, can’t you join forces with him? And Eldest Aunt is a stepmother. She hates Li Jinnian so much but can’t get rid of him. Can’t you join forces with Eldest Aunt?”

Li Yuan glanced at Du Jiayi coldly. “No matter how much Aunt wants to get rid of Li Jinnian, she won’t help me as I also want to split the Li family…”

“What are you arguing about?! Shut up!” Madam Li, who was furious, glanced at her son and daughter. Her eyes, which had been smiling just now, were already filled with dark clouds. “Your second uncle will come over tomorrow. Don’t mention his past. Also, spend more time with your grandmother! She dotes on you and your sister the most.”
