1814: A Big Background

A Big Background

The smile in her eyes did not shock Ye Jian but made Liu Yuan clench her fists.2

She did not know if it was because she was a little emotional but her chest felt so stuffy that she could not relax even after taking a few deep breaths.

From the time Du Jiayi apologized to the time she left, Ye Jian remained calm. Even her aura did not change. Hence, the higher-up did not notice anything amiss when he walked over.

Du Jiayi was not the only one who knew how to destroy a person. Ye Jian, who had lived two lifetimes, also knew how to do it.

One second, she sounded fierce. The moment the higher-up walked over, she smiled. It was precisely because Du Jiayi saw the familiar change in Ye Jian's expression that she apologized again.

This was because she knew that she had encountered a tough character. A tough character who could see through her intentions with a glance!

Just as Ye Jian had said, Du Jiayi was a very smart female soldier. She was many times smarter than the ignorant Ye Ying. When she interacted with such people, she could either give in to them or warn them not to go overboard.

Ye Jian was not a soft-hearted person. She had lived a good life in her previous life. In this life, she wanted to do whatever she wanted.

Of course, as a soldier, she could not do things 'in vain'. Being 'willful ' could be one's personality while doing things 'in vain' meant cutting off her own future. She would not do something stupid like cutting off her own future.

She, who had a smile in her eyes, watched as the leader left. She turned her head and saw Liu Yuan staring at Du Jiayi's back with a dark gaze. They had their own conflicts previously, and even she could tell… How could the leader not tell?

"I'll go with you to see your comrade. The road is cut off now. A small cold can cause problems." The voice that carried traces of a smile pulled Liu Yuan's attention back. Ye Jian looked at the female soldier who had a complicated expression on her face. She pretended not to notice anything and looked at Wei Jiayue. She said in a low voice, "There seems to be something wrong."

Liu Yuan wanted to talk to Ye Jian but when she heard this, she ran over to Wei Jiayue. She saw that the latter was sleeping with Ma Min.

Wei Jiayue, who was sleeping with an oxygen mask on, did not have a fever. However, she looked very tired. Fortunately, the soldiers had already set up the tent that was originally meant for the sentinels. They told the soldiers to sleep here.

After waking the two who were asleep, they helped one of them to the tent.

"Go to the tent to sleep. Watch your feet." Ye Jian reminded Wei Jiayue, who was so tired that she was staggering. She placed Wei Jiayue's body weight on her shoulders to make her feel more comfortable.

"Du Jiayi is the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital. She's 24 years old this year and has an elder brother who's nine years older than her. He has influence in the Southern Guang Military Region. We belong to the Southern Guang Military Region's cultural troupe, so everyone has to give in to her a little. Fortunately, you're not from the Southern Guang Military Region.

"Her sister is seven years older than her, and her younger brother is one year younger than her. He's quite capable too. After graduating from university last year, he joined the provincial government. Du Jiayi is sweet-tongued and knows how to coax others, so she's quite favored at home.

"You can check which official in the capital has the surname Du. They have two sons and two daughters. You can find out her origin that way. Also, her mother, Madam Li, is a very powerful person. She'll never let those who bully her daughter off.

"However, this family loves their reputation. They'll be friendly on the surface. Just like how Du Jiayi was able to swallow her pride and apologize to you just now despite her anger."
