Chapter 2800 - 2800 Scary
2800 Scary
“Every word she said sounded very polite, but in fact? She was hinting to all my comrades that I forced myself to save people for the sake of gaining a better reputation. She said that I saved people and used that as an excuse to make my comrades busy themselves around me in the end.
“In the end, I got angry and didn’t give her a good attitude, so she began to hate me for it.
“After that, I heard from Captain Xia that she tried to investigate me but to no avail. This year, I went to the capital city to visit the injured Captain Xia. I met her again because of Ye Zhifan’s daughter.”
Li Jinnian’s eyes turned cold when he heard that. His cousin had been bullied by Du Jiayi twice. He was actually there both times. During the avalanche rescue, he was even standing at the event location!
When Xia Jinyuan was injured, he was there too. However, at that time, he hadn’t reunited with his cousin and missed the chance to help her again.
“Du Jiayi has always been the same since she was young. In the past…” Li Jinnian pursed his lips and said, “In the past, because of my grandfather’s second wife, she had a normal relationship with the Li family. Later, my father’s wife tried to chase me out of the Li family. Du Jiayi even informed me about it twice. At that time, I thought she was different.
He thought that she was different, but in the end, he knew that she was not. She just knew how to hide her true colors.
How old was Du Jiayi at that time?
She seemed to be only eight or nine years old…
The eight-year-old Du Jiayi was terrifyingly scheming.
“Grandma, I don’t like Eldest Cousin. I don’t like Eldest Uncle either. Mom said that Eldest Uncle always makes you angry. Grandpa even left all the good things in the family to Eldest Cousin, causing me to lose everything. I don’t like Eldest Cousin at all.”
He still remembered Du Jiayi’s delicate voice coming from the room where the door was not completely closed. He heard every word clearly.
“Mom told me everything. Grandma, don’t worry about me. I know what I’m doing. Grandpa gave him so many good things. I want to take them back for you.”
As it turned out, this was the truth.
From then on, Li Jinnian never interacted with Du Jiayi again. He didn’t even want to say a word to her. Later on, when he came out to study and joined the military, he almost forgot about Du Jiayi.
As for what his grandpa’s second wife said the last time he came back, he found it funny that she asked him to represent the Li family to attend her birthday party.
Ye Jian was dumbfounded. She knew that Du Jiayi was scheming, but she didn’t know that she knew how to scheme since the age of eight or nine.
No wonder Captain Xia said that when she was in junior high, she secretly harmed her good friend without batting an eyelid. In the end, she even pretended to be anxious for her good friend. At that time, she was already in junior high, so her skills were naturally much deeper than when she was in primary school.
It was unbelievable that an eight or nine-year-old child could be so scheming.
“She’s been like this since she was young. She’s good at lying and scheming. There’s no one who truly has a good relationship with her.” Li Jinnian had no ill intentions toward Du Jiayi. As a man, he wasn’t narrow-minded enough to be calculative with her. After knowing her true colors, he directly distanced himself from her without giving a reason. Du Jiayi still didn’t know that Li Jinnian had heard her words when she was young.
Even if she knew now, she probably wouldn’t be able to remember what she said.
She had said too many bad things about others. How could she remember all of them?
Ye Jian rubbed her eyebrows and sighed softly. “I didn’t expect you to be Du Jiayi’s cousin. When Captain Xia said that just now, I was dumbfounded.”
“She and I have nothing to do with each other. There’s no need to feel burdened.”
