She realized that Commander Cui had a bad impression of her.

Jiang Xiao had subconsciously grown used to most people’s first impressions of her being positive, so Commander Cui’s unrelenting rebuke caused her gaze to slightly go cold.

Could it be that her visit to Madam Cui made Commander Cui upset?

But initially, she had come with the intention of seeing if she could cure Madam Cui’s heart problem.

If Commander Cui didn’t like it, he could have just told her directly to stop bothering them.

What does this attitude mean now?

Jiang Xiao was not someone who easily swallowed grievances.

Even if the person sitting across from her was Commander Cui, her face turned cold, and her tone became stern as she said, "Because you are an Alliance Official and have been a Supervisor Guard on the battlefield, out of respect for the guards, I saluted you. To my knowledge, the salute was executed correctly. I am unsure how this ’inappropriate and strange’ evaluation came to be?"

Xiao Mu, listening to the side, drew in a sharp breath.

Last time when this young lady conversed with Madam Cui, she was all smiles and very gentle. She really didn’t expect that Jiang Xiao had such a side to her.

Moreover, this was Commander Cui she was confronting. Was she really not afraid?

Should she quickly go and call Madam?

Commander Cui didn’t expect Jiang Xiao to dare to refute him, and his face turned stern.

"Are you a Supervisor Guard?"

"I am not."

"You’re not a guard, so why salute?" Commander Cui asked coldly.

"Because, as a family member, having been around guards frequently, it happened unconsciously. If Commander Cui finds it inappropriate, point it out and I will be mindful in the future. But how is this inappropriate and strange? Does Commander Cui find it disrespectful that I show you such respect? Does Commander Cui feel undeserving of my salute?"

Jiang Xiao immediately countered.

Commander Cui was momentarily speechless.

"You’ve got quite the sharp tongue."

"I dare not," Jiang Xiao said. "I am merely voicing my doubts."

"Merely voicing your doubts," Commander Cui subdued his anger and pointed to the chair opposite. "Sit down."

Jiang Xiao walked over and sat in the chair he indicated.

She suddenly understood.

This time, it wasn’t Madam Cui who called her but Commander Cui through Xiao Mu’s call.

Commander Cui wanted to see her?

Why?

Jiang Xiao was still a bit worried at this point, concerned that something had happened to Madam Cui. But seeing Xiao Mu’s expression, she felt it wasn’t the case.

She looked at Commander Cui and asked, "I wonder where Madam Cui is?"

"I called you here. She’s still resting," Commander Cui said.

Jiang Xiao suddenly realized.

So it was like that.

"Then I wonder why Commander Cui called me over?"

"I hear you’re Meng Xinian’s fiancée?" Commander Cui asked.

Is this because of Tyrant Meng?

Jiang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.

"Yes."

"Well then, did you know about the trouble he caused in Ke Ku Li this time?"

Tyrant Meng caused trouble in Ke Ku Li? What trouble?

Jiang Xiao’s heart suddenly clenched.

No matter what Commander Cui’s attitude towards her was, at this moment, she desperately wanted to know Meng Xinian’s situation in Ke Ku Li.

So she immediately shook her head and said, "I don’t know, wasn’t there no way to contact home from there?"

"Yes, there’s no way to contact home," Commander Cui sneered. "However, Meng Xinian tried to bypass the commander to call back here to question a superior’s order."
