Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

At the elevator entrance, fate again conspired to make Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan run into Madam Li and her daughter Du Jiayi. When the four met, the atmosphere immediately froze.

Upon seeing Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan so close and chatty, and recalling Qin Xiu’s attitude towards her the night before, Du Jiayi was even more furious, her eyes filled with jealousy and dissatisfaction.

She couldn’t understand why Qin Xiu still didn’t believe Ye Jian was a sleazy woman? Being intimate with him last night, and yet today she’s chatting and laughing with another man. Could it be that they all failed to see through her true face?

Madam Li was even more surprised. Yesterday, she saw this wicked girl getting along closely with Qin Xiu and the Old Madam from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, how could she be seen entering and leaving with Little Six from the Xia family the very next day? Her tactics were truly remarkable. Indeed, she had these outstanding juniors wrapped around her finger.

Madam Li, looking at Ye Jian, said, ”Ah, Miss Ye, why aren’t you accompanying the Old Madam and Qin Xiu today? You were so attentive late into last night, maybe spending a little more time, the Old Madam might just let you marry into the family.”

Madam Li’s words were replete with sarcasm and mockery, clearly intended to humiliate Ye Jian in front of Xia Jinyuan.

After mocking Ye Jian, Madam Li turned to Xia Jinyuan, ”Little Six, you might not know, but just last night Miss Ye kept Qin Xiu and the Old Madam company. People who didn’t know better might have thought she was their granddaughter-in-law. And today, she’s here with you. This girl is truly impressive.”

Madam Li adopted a worried tone and said, ”Jinyuan, as your mother’s friend, I can’t bear to see you being deceived by this girl. You don’t meet many girls in the military and might not see people clearly. I know many good girls, and I can introduce you to them. There are so many good girls out there.”

Xia Jinyuan glanced coldly at Madam Li, ”Thanks for your concern and kindness, Madam Li, but I don’t need it. Perhaps keep them for your son. After all, a virtuous wife means fewer troubles for the husband.”

Xia Jinyuan didn’t simply reject Madam Li, he severely slammed her face.

A virtuous wife means fewer troubles? Was he implying that she wasn’t virtuous?

That Xia kid was truly disagreeable, his words were as sharp as a knife, cutting straight to the heart and causing bleeding.

Maintaining a calm face while inwardly seething, Madam Li continued, ”I’m not trying to meddle, but your mother is truly concerned about you. She has been inquiring about your recent circumstances. Ah, what grudge could there be between a mother and her son? It was your mother’s fault in the past, but as a son, shouldn’t you stop blaming her? Don’t you think? Besides, your mother has not had it easy these years, she has truly had a tough time for your sake.”

”Hear me out, have a good talk with your mother. Don’t let her suffer constantly. It pains me to see it, and you, being her son, how can you be so indifferent?”

Madam Li seems very concerned about other people’s affairs, but as a junior, I would advise Madam Li that instead of meddling in other people’s affairs, she should better manage her own family matters first,” Xia Jinyuan said, standing tall with his hands in his pockets and a sharp gaze directed at Madam Li, ”With your own household in such disarray, and yet you find the capacity to meddle in others’? What would your husband think if he knew?”
