Chapter 391: Chapter 391: So You Can Insult Someone Like This

Luo Qiao laughed, "Big Brother definitely won’t criticize me, don’t forget, I just offended Song Huanhuan to drive away the person he didn’t want to see."

Yuan Jianing rolled her eyes at Luo Qiao, "I really can’t argue with you."

When the car stopped at the military base, quite a few people got off; it seemed they all came for the afternoon performance.

Everyone registered at the main entrance, where the soldiers at the gate called to notify the relevant personnel and then waited for their escorts.

The girl who had laughed on the bus came over, "Hello, my name is Zhou Xiaomin, I was sitting not far behind you."

Yuan Jianing nodded, "Hello, I’m Yuan Jianing. This is my cousin, Luo Qiao. You were the one who laughed and got scolded?"

Zhou Xiaomin smiled, "Yes, your conversation was too funny. You scolded without a single swear word, and they couldn’t even figure out why."

Yuan Jianing asked, "Scolding? When did we scold anyone?"

Zhou Xiaomin laughed, "Wasn’t it during the exchange with that girl?"

Luo Qiao said, "I said she was too nosy, and you said her skin was thick enough."

Yuan Jianing felt a bit dazed, wondering when they had said that. Zhou Xiaomin and Luo Qiao looked at each other and burst into laughter. It was then that Luo Qiao remembered Yuan Jianing had previously mentioned his grandfather’s old home was at the foot of the Great Wall.

The previous reply wasn’t on purpose; it was a fluke.

Luo Qiao said, "It’s okay, Zhou Xiaomin is just joking with you."

Now Yuan Jianing understood; those two sentences had a different implication. She suddenly linked arms with Luo Qiao, "Are you going to explain or not?"

Luo Qiao explained, "I was asking her if her family lives by the sea, meaning she’s too meddlesome. As for your reply that her family lives at the foot of the Great Wall, you were simply stating a fact. But there’s a saying that thick skin can compete with the Great Wall’s corners, so putting them together might lead to misunderstanding."

After hearing the explanation, Yuan Jianing also laughed, "So that’s how it was. Ah, so you can scold people like that?"

Luo Qiao glanced at the people around them and looked at Yuan Jianing with amusement, "Enough already, you don’t want to be laughed at."

Just then, personnel from inside started coming out one by one to escort people in. Yuan Weihan personally came out to meet Luo Qiao and Yuan Jianing after receiving a call.

Seeing him, the soldiers who had come out earlier all saluted, "Good day, Commander."

Yuan Weihan returned the salute and, smiling and nodding at everyone, hurried over, "Qiaoqiao, Ningning, I’m here to pick you up."

The sentinel at the gate saluted, "Good day, Commander."

Yuan Weihan returned the salute, nodded, and then stepped out of the gate.

Yuan Jianing smiled, "Uncle, why did you come out to meet us personally?"

Yuan Weihan said, "I happen to have time now, and besides, Qiaoqiao is visiting the base for the first time. Didn’t I say I would show you guys around?"

Luo Qiao saw Yuan Weihan looking over and said with a smile, "Dad, if you’re busy, it’s okay for someone else to take us around."

The sentinels nearby were wide-eyed upon hearing this girl call Commander Yuan "Dad," wondering when the Commander had gotten a daughter and what was going on.

Yuan Weihan said, "It’s fine, let’s go."

He had been so busy at noon that he hadn’t gone to the canteen for lunch. His aide had to bring food back to the office for him, all so he could squeeze in time to accompany them around the base.

Luo Qiao wanted to say goodbye to Zhou Xiaomin, but when she turned around, Zhou was nowhere to be seen.

Someone who had come with Luo Qiao and the others asked a soldier in a low voice, "Who is that commander?"

A soldier who had come to receive guests replied, "That’s our Commander Yuan."

The woman said, "Oh, I came over on the bus with those two girls."

Yuan Weihan led the two of them inside, and many people greeted him along the way. He would introduce them, mentioning that they were his niece and goddaughter.

Some who heard would ask further questions, and he would pull the girls over to introduce them. Those too shy to ask would think to themselves: Since when did the Commander have a goddaughter?

Once he had shown them around all accessible areas, it was almost time, and they prepared to head back to his office for a drink of water before the performance.

Yuan Jianing asked, "Uncle, is Aunt coming today?"

Yuan Weihan glanced at his watch while walking, "That’s unlikely; their bank has been busy these past few days. She said yesterday she would come if she wasn’t too busy and could get leave."
