Chapter 2002 Jade-like Beauty, An Aura Like An Orchid
How could she let the commander in chief lose his reputation? How could she let the commander in chief down? How could she let her loved ones down?
She lived for herself, but she also lived for those who cared for her and loved her!
Wasn’t life just about fighting for one’s pride?
In her previous life, she had lost terribly. In this life, she had to fight for her pride.
At the same time, she had to admit that it was because of Captain Xia and Commander Xia that her mother’s matter could be brought up again.
She did not need to be angry just because she had connections with those men. She should cherish it.
Only by knowing how to cherish it would she understand the importance of love!
She didn’t get to where she was today because of her ‘connections’. As Uncle Chen had said, if she didn’t have enough ability and skills, how could she have gotten Captain Xia’s attention?
The reason why the Military Disciplinary Committee attached importance to her mother was also related to her efforts!
But before this, she really did not expect that by making herself outstanding, she could also help her mother clear her name!
There was a smile on Ye Jian’s fair face. It was like a white orchid blooming in the spring rain. The nine petals of the flower were pure white like jade. It was as if every impurity had already been washed away.
It was a smile that only appeared when one’s heart was at ease. Her face was like jade, and her aura was like an orchid.
Seeing this, Principal Chen knew that she had truly understood his intention, so he changed the topic easily. “On the second day of the new year tomorrow, a few soldiers want to go to take a walk around the city. Commander Liu and Commissar Yan called this morning and agreed to have dinner together tomorrow night. We’ll set off tomorrow morning and have fun for the day.”
After knowing that the Military Disciplinary Committee had set up a task force to investigate her mother’s death, Ye Jian felt relieved. She replied, “Sure, I’ll go with you.”
Shopping was not a common thing for Ye Jian. She walked into the largest department store in the Southern Province with a few soldiers who were dressed casually. It was rare for her to buy clothes. Ye Jian secretly counted the allowance she received from the military school for the past few months, as well as the allowance she had received from her missions. She said to the soldier beside her, “I’ll go to the men’s wear area in front for a while. Help me strike up a conversation with the chief instructor so that he doesn’t notice me leaving.”
“It’s not easy to distract the chief instructor. You need to be quick.” The soldier didn’t have the confidence to distract the chief instructor for long. After all, the man was feared by all the instructors in the sniper base. However, since the female soldier had made a request, he had to do it.
Ye Jian smiled and thanked him. When Principal Chen wasn’t paying attention, she quickly walked toward a high-end men’s wear area.
She wanted to buy a wool sweater for Principal Chen. She had enough money on her card.
The mall on the second day of the Lunar New Year was very quiet. The service staff welcomed Ye Jian warmly. Judging from Ye Jian’s clothing and her expected purchasing ability, they recommended a thin woolen sweater that cost more than 800 yuan.
Ye Jian saw a very thick blue woolen sweater that was double the price. She looked at the size and took a larger one. “This will do. Help me get the bill.”
A woolen sweater that cost more than 1,600 yuan was considered expensive. Ye Jian herself didn’t have such an expensive shirt.
All her clothes for the four seasons of the year were provided by the army. There was really no need for her to buy such expensive clothes.
The attendant was very happy. She immediately brought Ye Jian to the cashier to settle the bill.
When she came back, Ye Jian heard a gentle yet aggressive familiar voice.
“I like this one a lot. Since there’s only one of this size, give it to me first and I’ll give you the cash immediately. As for the customer paying the bill now, can’t you say that you found a flaw in the sweater?”
How familiar… It turned out that she had met Ye Ying, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.
