”What the f * ck!” ”Old bastard Ye, if you don't drink this glass of wine today, I'm not going to let you finish it!”
Inside Ye Zhanxiong's study in Jinhai City Main Hall, a small old man in his seventies scolded at Ye Zhanxiong in a flustered and exasperated manner.
Ye Zhanxiong was the commander in chief of the eastern military region of the Republic of China. He was a general at the national level, yet this little old man dared to blow his beard, glare and curse at him.
But no one in the study room dared to berate this arrogant little old man, because his identity did not lose to Ye Zhanxiong in the slightest.
”Uncle Zhen, my father's health is not good. The doctor advised him that it would be best if he didn't drink alcohol. You see, we should just take the alcohol away. I've already had someone prepare your favorite Blue Conch Spring!” Ye Lingfeng said with a smile on his face. Obviously, he was afraid of being scolded by the little old man.
Old man Zhen, who was currently furious, did not care that Ye Lingfeng was his junior and still cursed him. Because he was truly furious, who told the Ye Family father and son to bully others like that!
Just now, when he had fought with Ye Zhanxiong and lost completely, Ye Lingfeng had not stood up and said that Ye Zhanxiong could not drink, and when he finally won Ye Zhanxiong's cup, Ye Lingfeng had impatiently jumped out and said that Ye Zhanxiong could not drink, and that it was clear that he was not allowed to bully people.
”You brat, scram for laozi!” Old man Zhen scolded with a red face and a thick neck.
However, if Old Man Zhen scolded him like this, he would not dare to have a single bit of temper, because this Old Man Zhen was not only his father's old comrade, but also the commander in chief of the southwest military region of China. He was also a general of the same level, and his status was not one bit inferior to Ye Zhanxiong.
Seeing that old man Zhen's temper was back, Ye Zhanxiong could only compromise, but he purposely said: ”If I want to drink, I'll drink. At most I'll make an exception. After saying that, he picked up the wine cup on the table and finished it in one gulp.
”Good wine!”
Old Man Zhen was angered by Ye Zhanxiong to the point that he wanted to swallow up. However, he did not know what Ye Zhanxiong had suddenly discovered, and his anger actually vanished in an instant.
”Old ghost Ye, I remember that you were unhappy when there was nothing to drink in the past. Why have you suddenly changed your personality all these years?” Old man Zhen asked slyly.
”I made a bet with my granddaughter. If she loses, I'll keep my promise to never drink again!” Ye Zhanxiong said with a helpless expression.
”Is that girl Qingcheng the one who won against you?”
”Yes sir!” Ye Zhanxiong answered with a face full of pride. Because their Ye Family s had surpassed their generation, and had surpassed their generation in terms of age, so how could he not be proud?
”What's your bet?” Old man Zhen excitedly and curiously asked.
”I'll bet that if she can become the new recruit king of our eastern military region within three years, then I'll stop drinking and not force her to develop in the army!”
”After that, within three years, that girl Qingcheng really became the new recruit king of your Eastern Military Region and lost you a complete mess, right?” Old man Zhen said with a smile on his face.
Of course, Ye Zhanxiong knew that Old Man Zhen was happy that he had lost to his own granddaughter, but he didn't care at all.
What do you mean, a year and a half?” Old man Zhen asked in astonishment, ”Could that girl, Qingcheng, have enlisted for a year and a half before becoming the new recruit king of your military? That's impossible!
”How is that impossible, she's the granddaughter of I, Ye Zhanxiong!” What he wanted was this effect. To people like them who were already half buried in coffins, they would only be able to compare to one's sturdy body, who could watch as one entered the grave first, and whose children would have more achievements.
”Keep bragging!” If that girl Qingcheng had such a peerless talent in the military, how could you bear to have her leave the army? With your character, you will definitely try every means to raise her to be the first female commander of one of the three armies in China! ” Old man Zhen smiled in disdain.
”Of course I can't bear to have her leave the army, but if I am willing to accept the loss, I can't just rely on my seniority to force her to stay in the army, right? I am not as tyrannical and shameless as someone! ” Ye Zhanxiong sarcastically said.
Old man Zhen obviously knew that Ye Zhanxiong was mocking him for forcing his own sons and grandsons to join the army, so he snappily snorted: ”Even if you didn't brag, that girl Qingcheng is still the strongest. ”Stop being so shameless as to put gold on your face. If you don't want to be ashamed, I will blush for you!”
Ye Zhanxiong was not the least bit angry, but he was also smiling, because he had long since thought of a way to point at Old Man Zhen's weak point, ”You don't have such an outstanding child as my family's Qingcheng!”
”Hmph, what's so special about that. No matter how amazing or perfect she is, she's just a little girl! If you continue to put on airs with me, do you believe that I won't tell you that our family is tyrannical enough to trick you two girls back home?! ” Everyone did not know whether to laugh or cry, because everyone knew that he was jealous of Ye Zhanxiong, who had such an excellent and flawless granddaughter.
This was because they were already used to it. As long as they met, it would be strange if they didn't get into a fight, and this was a fight between gods, how could they dare to dissuade them. If something went wrong, they would get into a fire, why not just let them have a good fight.
Just like what Ye Shengxian said, these two old men could not be gay friends in their previous life. Because of love, they became entangled in hatred, and because of that they quarreled as soon as they saw each other, but their relationship was still as good as ever.
