He seized the opportunity and said, “There must be something wrong with your thinking. If you have the ability, then you should use it to serve the people. You should reflect on yourself here. You can leave when you realize your mistakes.”
Xiao Ying sneered and said, “Major General Chen, oh, wait, you’re not a major general anymore, right? Why are you still standing here?”
Major General Chen’s face twisted.
Commander Yang tried to smooth things over. “Major General Chen has contributed a lot to our country, so we decided that we should not rid him of his position just because of a joking bet.”
Major General Chen looked smug.
Xiao Ying laughed mockingly, “This joke-like bet was raised by Major General Chen himself. Moreover, you were also present, right? Now the bet doesn’t count? That’s the biggest joke.”
“You guys can leave. I don’t want to talk to you.” Xiao Ying directly closed her eyes, looking like she was chasing them away.
Commander Yang’s expression darkened as he flicked his sleeve and left.
Major General Chen sneered, “How ridiculous.”
He left as well.
This time, Xiao Ying was really a little panicked. She didn’t know how long they were going to lock her up for.
She did not have any communication tools with her, so she could not even ask for help.
Two days had already passed. Xiao Ying, who was resting with her eyes closed, suddenly heard the door open.
Commander Yang’s expression was a little ugly. “Miss Xiao Ying, one of our officers is injured and requires you to perform an operation.”
Xiao Ying did not move, as if she had not heard anything.
Commander Yang shouted again.
Xiao Ying said indifferently, “I was invited by Qin Yue. It has nothing to do with you, right?”
They had said it themselves.
Commander Yang frowned and wiped the anxiety off his face. He sat down and asked, “What do you want?”
Xiao Ying said, “Let me go.”
Commander Yang: “That won’t do. Pick a different request.”
Xiao Ying opened her eyes and looked straight at him. “Then get Major General Chen to fulfill his promise.”
Commander Yang paused for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Ying did not expect him to agree so readily. She only knew that the patient was Commander Yang’s son when she reached the ward. He was also a major general now.
After the surgery, Xiao Ying was asked to return to her previous room. On the way, she saw Major General Chen’s angry expression and Qin Yue’s worried and guilty gaze.
Xiao Ying calmly returned to her room. She had been observing the situation here just now, but it was impossible for her to run. Putting aside the people watching her, she could not even get out of this military district’s door.
As time passed, Xiao Ying became more and more anxious. There was nothing in the room. Staying there for a long time would easily cause psychological problems.
Commander Yang sent people over repeatedly to convey one message: As long as Xiao Ying joins the military hospital, she can leave and even enjoy the best treatment.
Xiao Ying had no feelings for this place. She rejected him firmly every time.
Another day, Xiao Ying leaned against the wall with her eyes closed. This was the most common thing she had done in the past few days.
The door suddenly opened. Without opening her eyes, she said, “You guys don’t have to ask anymore. I won’t agree.”
The person who entered looked at Xiao Ying, who was curled up into a ball and squatting in a corner. His gaze was filled with heartache.
Realizing that something was wrong, Xiao Ying slowly raised her head and looked at the person at the door.
The grievance in her heart suddenly surged. She, who had not cried in all the days here, suddenly felt her eyes turn red.
Her dry lips parted as she called out, “Brother.”
Cheng Yang walked up to her.
Xiao Ying came in contact with his warmth and confirmed that it was real.
She plunged into his arms and cried bitterly.
Just like how she had been chased out of the Xiao family when she was young, she could only release her grievances to Cheng Yang.
Cheng Yang hugged Xiao Ying. His actions were extremely gentle, but his eyes were deep.
