Chapter 1463 - 1482: Gossip
Can’t keep up with the thinking of young folks?
He’s encountered plenty who trick young maidens into eloping, but this is the first time seeing someone deceive for marriage.
"Maybe... maybe it’s because the sister-in-law is too pretty and way too young," Ning Di racked his brain to come up with an excuse.
"That bastard." Xi Liqun cursed under his breath, "Alright, there’s no way I can help him now, not after you’ve confirmed these matters as facts. I can’t go against my conscience. I’ll support Jiang Nanfei in filing her divorce application."
He finished speaking and slammed a fist on the table, "Originally, as long as the boy could return safely from Kannaya, he’d at least be looking at a service medal, possibly second-class. And with his capabilities, he could accomplish the military department’s missions—give it a little effort, and even a first-class medal wouldn’t be out of the question. I was counting on him to take over my position someday! But now, look at how it turned out. He’s back, not to take on responsibilities, but to guard the gate or join the kitchen crew carrying pots."
A perfectly good successor, just wasted like that.
Xi Liqun finished speaking, and the otherwise quiet staff officer standing nearby couldn’t hold back his laughter and said, "Commander! Don’t stress yourself out over this. You don’t know the guy like I do—I’ve heard quite a lot about his antics in the Southeast Military Region. He’s been up and down the ranks countless times; you’ll get used to it eventually."
"Really?"
Ning Di’s face turned slightly red as he started talking about his own major general’s history in the Southeast Military Region. Under Xi Liqun’s expectant gaze, he pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
"The Major General has indeed guarded the gate before, and he’s also been demoted to the kitchen crew."
"Oh! So this time I might need to come up with something novel for him?" Even Xi Liqun couldn’t help but chuckle before waving Ning Di off helplessly, "Alright! Go get busy!"
