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

Chapter 4452: Acting

At this moment, Ye Jian’s mood was… calm. The woman was too enthusiastic, and Ye Jian couldn’t handle it. Du Jiayi and Mrs. Qin caught up to her.

“I finally caught up to you. Fortunately, I didn’t make a mistake. Otherwise, I would’ve been embarrassed.”

Du Jiayi spoke to Ye Jian in a relaxed and familiar tone. Of course, she was just putting on an act for Mrs. Qin. No matter how much she disliked Ye Jian, she had to be polite in front of Mrs. Qin.

Ye Jian, who had met Du Jiayi many times, knew her tricks. Hearing that, she smiled faintly and said, “If I had continued walking, it would’ve indeed been embarrassing.”

As usual, she didn’t show Du Jiayi any courtesy. After she finished speaking, Ye Jian saw that the smile on Du Jiayi’s face had turned a little stiff. Her hands, which were holding the handle of her exquisite small handbag, were so tight that the green veins on the back of her hands could be seen.

They clearly hated each other, but Du Jiayi still wanted to show a harmonious relationship. Ye Jian felt that she was not competent enough to do what Du Jiayi was doing.

“That’s why I’m glad you heard me. Long time no see, Ye Jian.”

Du Jiayi, who had a stiff smile on her face, would not embarrass herself. She took the initiative to extend a hand to Ye Jian in what she thought was a friendly gesture and looked at Ye Jian with a hint of anticipation.

What was she looking forward to?

She hoped that Ye Jian wouldn’t give her any respect. Then, Mrs. Qin would say that Ye Jian was so rude she wouldn’t even shake hands with others.

It wasn’t that Ye Jian didn’t know how to be two-sided. She just didn’t like it.

Since that was the case, Ye Jian smiled and reached out her hand naturally. She didn’t follow the script Du Jiayi set and said politely, “Long time no see.”

They weren’t close, but she wouldn’t let the other party embarrass her. She wouldn’t sit still and let the other party scheme against her.

When they shook hands, Ye Jian deliberately exerted more strength. Du Jiayi, who thought that Ye Jian would definitely be rude, was shocked…

She hated Ye Jian to begin with, so she didn’t actually want to shake hands with Ye Jian. She thought that Ye Jian hated her too and wouldn’t really shake hands with her. In the end… The moment they shook hands, Du Jiayi instinctively wanted to retract her hand. Unexpectedly, Ye Jian grabbed it quickly and held it tightly.

In the end, Du Jiayi was the one who failed.

Her expression changed drastically. The reaction in her brain was reflected in her actions. She acted as though she had been electrocuted when she made contact with Ye Jian’s hand, allowing Mrs. Qin to see it clearly.

“I’m sorry, my hands are sweaty…” After Du Jiayi shook her hands. She knew that she had made a mistake and immediately apologized to Ye Jian. To prove that her hands were really sweaty, she quickly took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Ye Jian. “I walked too quickly just now and was in a hurry. I got my sweat on your hand, right? Hurry up and wipe it.”

Ye Jian did not take the tissue. She smiled at Du Jiayi, who was trying to salvage the situation, and said, “You can use it. I’m fine.”

Mrs. Qin paid attention to her future daughter-in-law’s every move. Her expression softened. She smiled at Ye Jian and said gently, “Hello, Ye Jian. I’m Qin Xiu’s mother. We met once in the hospital. Do you still remember me?”

Ye Jian’s impression of her was too deep. She wouldn’t be able to forget about her, but she couldn’t say that out loud.

Shaking her head, she said, “I’m sorry, I don’t remember.”

“It’s alright. That day, I didn’t manage to chat with you. Ye Jian, don’t be nervous. I have no other intentions. I happened to meet you today and know that you have a good relationship with Qin Xiu. Can you tell me how Qin Xiu is doing recently?”

The older, the wiser. Although Mrs. Qin looked down on Ye Jian’s background, she didn’t show it. Her facial expressions were very gentle.
