Chapter 2016: Expressing Concern
However, Ye Xueli’s eyes were glued to Lu Xingzhi when she walked into the room. Giving him a few seconds of attention was as superficial as sending him away.
Ye Xueli had too many thoughts, and she did not know how to hide them.
She lived alone, so she was not afraid to have many tricks up her sleeves, but she did not know how to conceal them. People could see through her at a glance.
The chief sighed. Colonel Ye’s family had three children, none of whom were talented.
When Ye Xueli broke off her engagement, it greatly impacted her reputation. However, she still did not cherish whatever reputation she had left. When Jiang Yao was kidnapped, Ye Xueli was worried about repercussions when Ye Jianguo told everyone that she liked Lu Xingzhi. It seemed like everyone had something to say about that matter. Ye Xueli’s attempt at an explanation was pretty weak.
Colonel Ye no longer had any hope for his eldest daughter, Ye Xueli. Colonel Ye’s second son, that chubby one, was doted on by Colonel Ye’s wife. He was even worse than Ye Xueli.
If they had to praise one of Colonel Ye’s children, the chief thought there was only Ye Jianguo, who was passionate and straightforward. He was very kind too.
A woman could be kind in a place like an army base, but what good would a kind man serve?
When he learned that Jiang Yao was pregnant, the chief looked forward to seeing what Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao’s child would be like in the future. Lu Xingzhi was an outstanding man, and Jiang Yao was a gifted student and an excellent doctor. Their child would be extraordinary.
Many were the same as the chief; they anticipated the arrival of Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao’s baby. However, they did not expect to hear anyone insulting the child.
Lu Xingzhi did not even bother to answer Ye Xueli’s greetings. He looked coldly at the calm and composed Ye Xueli.
Since the chief was there, Lu Xingzhi would have to hold himself back, even if he wanted to throw Ye Xueli down the stairs and kill her. He had to respect the chief. He had brought the matter to the man, so he should let him handle it. He would step forward if he were unsatisfied with the results.
“Ye Xueli, don’t worry about Colonel Lu. His wife is a doctor, so she’ll take care of him. This has nothing to do with you,” the chief spoke bluntly. He looked down at her.
Ye Xueli felt awkwvard due to the chief’s words. “I’m his neighbor, so I’m just expressmg my concerns.”
The chief sighed. The girl had many ideas, but she was not very smart. For example, a smart lady like Jiang Yao would not continue speaking once the chief had reprimanded her. Ye Xueli’s shameless explanations would not sit well with most people anyvvay.
“I just need to confirm something with you.” The chief tapped his fingers on the table.. “You were the one who spread the rumors about Colonel Lu’s wife in the past few days, right? Where did you hear that? Did you witness Jiang Yao’s kidnapping and assault with your own eyes? How did you know Jiang Yao’s baby is not Colonel Lu’s child? You did a paternity test?”...
