Chapter 1900: People Who Understood What They Wanted

Ms. Xiao didn’t think there was anything wrong with her being friends with the Du Family.

She and Li Chenglan met in France, and she even called her “Sister Lan”. Later, when they became closer, they called each other by their name; they had known each other for 40 years.

Their relationship was right, they were very close, so naturally, she wanted to get to know them more.

The majestic Commander-in-Chief’s face became a little dark when he heard that she was going to the Du Family; he reminded her, “You know the relationship between the Xia Family and the Du Family. Although Ah Yuan doesn’t recognize you, you’ve just said that your blood relationship with Ah Yuan cannot be broken.”

“You want to be friends with who, that is your choice, I will not interfere with your freedom, but I hope you don’t do anything to hurt your only blood family. You must only be friends with the Du Family to a certain extent.”

When she heard her ex-husband talk about her friend, Ms. Xiao’s delicate eyebrows frowned. But in the end, she nodded gratefully, “The relationship between the Xia Family and the Du Family has nothing to do with me, but since you mentioned Ah Yuan, then okay, I know what to do.”

“Although I didn’t raise him, he was in me for 10 months when I was pregnant. When he was young, I said something that broke his heart. He remembered it and blamed me. This is God’s retribution to me. He told me not to be too presumptuous. Reincarnation doesn’t spare anyone.”

“I swallowed the bitterness of his words. No matter how Ah Yuan treats me, I accept it humbly because I deserve it. But if anyone wants to harm Ah Yuan, I won’t just ignore it. You can rest assured about this.”

In the end, Ms. Xiao smiled deeply at herself; her red eyes had a little tear.

Although she was over half a hundred years old, the time had treated her kindly after all. She wasn’t worriful, wasn’t anxious, and was good at caring for herself; she looked not more than 40 years old.

Her delicacy when she was young had become calm and graceful, with black hair and gentle eyebrows. Although she lived selfishly, when did she not live for herself?

She had always known what she wanted, always knew not to hurt herself; such a person lived better than anyone else.

It was a pity that they lived too well. Sometimes what they did could hurt others intentionally or unintentionally. They wanted the benefit to themselves, even if they would be hurting others. This kind of person who knew to live for himself/herself was rare.

And his ex-wife Xiao Shuman was this kind of person. She never sacrificed herself to fulfill others’ wishes.

Commander-in-Chief Xia looked at his ex-wife, who was still graceful as usual, and nodded slightly, “As long as you understand, then I won’t say more; I believe you can do it.”

For a person like her, as long as she understood what to do, then he wouldn’t have to be worried.

After all, old sixth was her child. The old her had left her son for her own happiness. Now that she was old, she knew to return to her roots and wanted to repair her relationship with her son. This alone made him believe that Ms. Xiao would not do anything that would cause harm to her son.

Selfish people had one good point; they always knew what was the most important to them.

Commander-in-Chief Xia did not offer to send his ex-wife anymore; he took his coat and slightly nodded towards Ms. Xiao, who was still sitting still, then said “goodbye”. He opened the door and left in a big stride.

Outside the door, Xia Jinyuan ordered the plainclothes guard in a low voice, “Commander-in-Chief, the car is parked outside.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Ms. Xiao, who was still unmoved, heard her ex-husband’s dignified voice. While the door was slowly closed, it also blocked all the sounds outside.

“Alas, it seems that I am old already.” She poured herself hot tea, and slowly drank it while sighing gently. Her eyes that were once shining like autumn water had crow-patterned tails rising at the sides, but her temperament still remained as usual—the 54-year-old Ms. Xiao aged elegantly and calmly.
