Chapter 1901: She Wanted To Get Involved

She knew that she was a selfish person; abandoning her husband and son back then was a wild thing to do, but she had never regretted it. She would never regret it in the future as well; after all, it was her own decision.

Her only regret was that she didn’t think that she would want to listen to his son talk about his life when she grew older.

It was a pity that her son was like her; he would never pick up the things that he had let go of. She had let him down as a mother, and his world no longer needed the care of a mother. This was something she didn’t expect.

“Shu Man, why are you sitting alone? Where’s Old Xia?” The closed-door was opened again; Madam Li walked in and saw Ms. Xiao slowly drinking tea by herself. It was a peaceful scene nonetheless. She looked demure as if she had never cried just now.

She was a lucky woman; someone would always stand up to support her; this is the only difference between her and Li Chenglan.

But now, things were very different. Ms. Xiao had a child who didn’t recognize her, but she had two sons and two daughters. Li Chenglan had a thriving family, an older child to protect the family and a charming daughter. This was one thing that Xiao Shuman could never be better than her.

“Cheng Lan, come and sit here with me. Ah, Yuan ordered black tea. It is quite to my liking.” Ms. Xiao smiled; she motioned her friend to sit down with her with her hand and have a cup of tea with her.

Li Chenglan’s eyes moved slightly, and she sat next to her, “Old Xia didn’t do anything to you just now, did he? Did he agree to let you see Ah Yuan?”

“Although Old Xia has a bad temper, and he wants to have the last say in everything, he still understands the truth. You can definitely make him agree to you if you communicate with him well. If he disagrees, you can tell me, Old Du, and I will go talk to him!”

“Let me handle things with Old Xia outside; Old Du can look for him in the military department. See if he dares to avoid you. I’ll say you are soft-tempered and don’t know how to fight. If Old Du and I were around just now, Old Xia will definitely treat you better for the sake of his face in front of Old Du.”

She had lived a wonderful life for most of her life, but she couldn’t see her only son when she was old. Alas, what was the point of living such a wonderful life before then?

This person should look far ahead.

“You have a bad temper, you are almost 60, but you’re still the same. Here, have a cup of black tea.” Ms. Xiao smiled faintly and poured tea for her old friend, “Old Xia didn’t stop me from seeing Ah Yuan. But now that child doesn’t really like me. I cannot blame others; I only blame myself.

“Don’t worry, it’s my fault to abandon him. I’m sorry, Cheng Lan, I have even caused you and Old Du to worry about me. I will solve this matter by myself next time. I can’t trouble you anymore.”

Madam Li was unhappy now; her face pulled down as she said angrily, “What are you talking about? Since when do you have to be so polite to me? Old Xia doesn’t have to stop you now. Ah, Yuan is big already; why should he be the villain and stop you from seeing your son?”

What she meant was that Commander-in-Chief Xia used to stop Ms. Xiao because Xia Jinyuan was still young, but now that Xia Jinyuan was big, he had decided that the fact was his mother did not want him. Commander-in-Chief Xia’s goal had been achieved, so it didn’t matter if he didn’t stop her now.

Li Chenglan was already a grandmother, so she would never get involved in other people’s affairs, but this was the Xia Family’s affairs; she wanted to get involved.

When she was young, she could disturb the Xia Family whenever she liked, but now that she was old, she still wanted to make the younger generations of the Xia Family suffer.
