Chapter 2169: Abuse (1)

Madam Li’s expression turned cold because of her assistant’s rashness, but she did not flare up on the spot.

Her assistant had never been so rash. Other than that time when her eldest son was almost stabbed, her assistant had never been so rash.

Madam Li’s heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened to her son again?

“What happened? Tell me!” she snapped.

The assistant looked at Ye Ying again and said softly, “Chairwoman Li, it’s more convenient to talk at the side.”

Staff Officer Du was also surprised by Ye Jian’s news. Director Ye had divorced his wife?

How was that possible?!

He had even talked about how his wife had not accompanied him to the capital city because of her health the night before. Why did he suddenly get a divorce? He did not know about it, nor did his wife.

Knowing his wife’s temper, he quickly said, “Chenglan, we’re talking about army matters now. It’s not convenient for you to listen in. Go with He Lin to deal with the company’s matters first.”

“Okay.” Madam Li nodded. When her gaze landed on Ye Ying, it was a little cold. “Ye Ying, you’ll return to the team a little later. I have something to ask you.”

Ye Ying, whose chest was heaving, suppressed her panic. She tried her best to appear calm and nodded obediently. “Okay. You should go handle things first. I’ll wait for you.”

She feared that Madam Li would say something else, so she added nervously, “You don’t know this but Ye Jian loved to frame me since she was young. She always pushed me out whenever she did something wrong. If you think about it, what else is there that she doesn’t dare to do?”

In order to make Madam Li believe her, Ye Ying didn’t know that her words had made Commander Xia have a bad impression of her. She was full of nonsense and looked even more immoral. He should have stopped her from joining the army!

Very well! She had put on her military uniform to report to the military today but she would be kicked out of the troops tonight!

Turning his head, Commander-in-Chief Xia whispered instructions to the guard beside him.

“You really don’t know about this matter?” Madam Li asked again with sharp eyes. “Ye Ying, I want to hear the truth.”

Ye Ying shook her head firmly and replied gently as usual, “Madam, I dare not lie to you. I really don’t know anything.” As she spoke, her tears came out again. “You know me. How could I lie to you? I’ll call my mother now. I’ll call her now.”

After staring at her for a long time, Madam Li’s expression finally eased a little. She nodded. “Alright, I’ll believe you for once. Call and ask what’s going on now!”

The senior assistant who was waiting at the side secretly gave Ye Ying a look that seemed to say ‘you’re on your own’ and respectfully followed Madam Li a few meters away.

As soon as Madam Li turned around, the frightened Ye Ying closed her eyes and raised her hand to her chest to calm herself down.

Fortunately, the assistant had appeared in time. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t have known how to answer.

She knew that her luck would not be bad. She was so nervous that she did not know what to do.

After taking a few deep breaths, Ye Ying’s heart finally calmed down.

Du Jiayi, who was ‘shocked’ by the sudden good news, saw that Ye Ying hadn’t made a call. She said coldly, “Ye Ying, why aren’t you calling to ask? Is what your sister said true?”

Ye Ying, whose eyes were still closed, suddenly heard her voice. She opened her eyes in shock and reached into her pocket. She felt around… and remembered that she had handed her phone to the army.
