Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Madam Xiao’s cries didn’t bring Xia Jinyuan back to the private room. The waiter who brought the dishes stood at the side in a dilemma. In the end, the manager helped Madam Xiao up from the chair and asked Du Jiayi to bring Madam Xiao home.

The moment Du Jiayi walked out of the elevator and saw the young man standing outside, her pretty face changed drastically, and panic flashed across her eyes.

Xia Jinyuan glanced at her calmly and walked straight into the elevator. When he moved, Du Jiayi, who was standing in the middle of the elevator, subconsciously took a step back. Realizing what she had done, she bit her lower lip in frustration and held her breath as she walked out quickly.

The elevator door closed behind her. Du Jiayi’s gaze landed on the smooth marble floor. She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned to look at the closed elevator door.

Xia Jinyuan… Why was he here?

Aunt Xiao said that she had something urgent to attend to. Could it be that… the urgent matter Aunt Xiao mentioned was to meet Xia Jinyuan?

It had only been 15 minutes since she received Aunt Xiao’s call saying that she had something urgent to attend to. The last time, Aunt Xiao said that she hadn’t seen Xia Jinyuan for a long time. She didn’t know where he went. If she saw him just now… why did they only talk for ten minutes?

Du Jiayi met up with Madam Xiao. Before she could ask, she was shocked by the haggard look on Madam Xiao’s face and walked over quickly. ”Aunt Xiao, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?

Madam Xiao, who had been dealt a blow, saw that the young girl in front of her was worried about her. She suddenly raised her hand and gently touched Du Jiayi’s face, revealing a smile that was uglier than her crying face. ”Jiayi, why aren’t you my daughter?”

”They’re right. Daughters are their parents’ sweethearts. Even you know how to care about me and worry about me, but…”

Tears flowed out of her eyes. Madam Xiao was crying and laughing at the same time. Du Jiayi was so anxious that she held the hand that was stroking her face. ”Aunt Xiao, stop crying. What happened? Tell me quickly.”

She glanced at the dining table from the corner of her eye. The untouched food confirmed her thoughts. She frowned and swallowed her saliva before daring to ask softly, ”Did you meet him? Did he make you angry again?

”Don’t be angry, Aunt Xiao. He’s not worth your anger.”

Du Jiayi was deeply afraid of Xia Jinyuan. She was so afraid that she didn’t dare to name him. She only dared to refer to him by ’him’.

Madam Xiao cried and smiled. Her elegant demeanor was gone. ”Even you know that I’m angry, but my son doesn’t. He clearly heard me crying, but he was so heartless that he didn’t even turn around to look at me. Why is he so ruthless?

”How good would it be if I had a daughter instead? How good would it be if I had a daughter like you, Jiayi? My daughter would definitely be soft-hearted and forgive me, right?

”How good would it be if he was a daughter? I want a daughter.”

Madam Xiao, who was over 50 years old, cried like a helpless child. Du Jiayi kept coaxing her, but it was useless. In the end, Du Jiayi had no choice but to ask Madam Li to help.

Madam Li rushed over just as Xia Jinyuan was knocking on Major General Yang’s door. At 10:00 pm, the vibrance of the day gradually dissipated. The silence of the night arrived quietly. The military compound was quieter than anywhere else. There weren’t even any night insects. There was only the sound of the north wind.
