Slapping in the Face Violently

Xia Jinyuan was a military man with acute instincts and sharp observation. He must have noticed something before he reached out to stop Ye Jian.

In this case, there's no need for Ye Jian to hide. Speaking out her mind would better diminish his suspicion of her.

"It's normal for people to hold grudges momentarily. But I believe that you are smart enough not to let down Grandpa Gen or Uncle Chen because of someone unimportant," said Xia Jinyuan. He was relieved to see that Ye Jian did not have a gloomy and depressed expression anymore.

He stopped grasping her thin shoulders. With a gentle smile, he said, "Whoever has made mistakes will be punished. Although the punishment might be trivial, it will make everyone realize what kind of a person she is, which is a good thing for you."

Ye Ying wanted to compare with Ye Jian in every aspect, didn't she? In this case, she might as well experience humiliation and what it felt like to be detested by everyone.
