Chapter 519: I feel ashamed 1

Captain Bai looked stern and spoke in a stern voice. Bai Xue did not dare to meet her gaze and stammered, "Nothing happened. It's really nothing. They are just making trouble."

"Making a fuss? What are you making a fuss about?" asked Captain Bai.

Bai Xue looked at the ground and lowered her head, "It's about tomorrow's performance. Aren't there two songs and a dance for me? They were nervous. They said there were so many soldiers in the audience, what if they couldn't perform well under the watchful eyes of everyone? Yesterday they asked me if I was nervous, and I said no, but they didn't believe me. So today what you saw happened."

Captain Bai said coldly: "Bai Xue, you'd better remember your identity. You'd better remember the efforts and expectations your family has put into you. Don't do anything that will disappoint me!"

Two clouds of mist suddenly filled Bai Xue's eyes. She mustered up the courage to look at Captain Bai, "But I want my own life too!"

Captain Bai stared into her eyes and said sternly, "What kind of life do you want? What kind of life do you want? Don't forget your family's arrangements for you! If you feel that my arrangements make you dissatisfied, then I will send you back immediately after this consolation performance and let you fend for yourself! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are pretty! If you didn't have such a face, do you think you could enter the art troupe smoothly, be the lead singer and lead dancer, and appear on the stages of major military regions?"

She patted Bai Xue's face and said, "You know better than anyone what the world is like now. If you hadn't joined the art troupe and attracted several children of revolutionary cadres to pursue you, do you think you could have saved yourself? Listen to me, perform well, behave yourself, and keep a clean record. In the future, choose the most outstanding one among the children of cadres to marry as your principal wife. Then you will enjoy endless wealth and glory, instead of continuing to work hard just because of your beauty."

Bai Xue wanted to say that was not the life she wanted, and she had never thought of marrying the son of a high-ranking official in the capital. She just wanted to find a handsome, capable, strong man who could protect her, not those lads from wealthy families who whistled at the female soldiers in the art troupe. But she didn't dare to say it. She knew that was the life plan her family gave her, and she had to move forward step by step.

Captain Bai is her aunt, Bai Yulan, and her family's arrangements for her were influenced by her.

Bai Xue wanted to lower her head, but her aunt was pinching her cheeks, so she couldn't. She forced herself to look into her aunt's eyes and whispered, "In fact, there are also outstanding generals in the army. They don't necessarily have to marry into high-ranking families."

Captain Bai immediately let go of his hand. "Why, you are telling the truth now, right? You are not satisfied with your family's arrangement, right? Who did you fall in love with at first sight? Who do you think you can marry? In the cafeteria, Yang Fengying sneered at you after hearing the soldiers' discussion. They were discussing Brigade Commander Lu. Was it Brigade Commander Lu?"

Thinking back to the Lu Jiang he had met, he was tall, straight, handsome, yet cold and serious. One could tell at a glance that he was not someone to be trifled with, especially his murderous aura, which only came from someone who had been through hundreds of battles.

Seeing Bai Xue's slightly red cheeks and shy eyes, Captain Bai understood and said angrily, "Bai Xue, I warn you, use your brain. Don't think that just because you like others, others will like you! Brigadier General Lu has a wife and children, and he arrived at the army today. What do you want to do? What do you think you can do?"
