Chapter 1900: As Long As She Understood

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

‘Madam Xiao did not think that there was anything wrong with her being in contact with the Du family.

She and Li Chenglan got to know each other in France. She affectionately addressed her as ‘Sister Lan’. Later on, when they got closer, the two of them were on a first-name basis. Counting the years, they had known each other for 40 years now.

Their relationship was good and often contacted each other, so they were naturally much closer.

Commander Xia’s expression darkened when he heard that she was going to look for the Du family. He had to remind her, “You know the relationship between the Xia and Du families. Although Ah Yuan doesn’t acknowledge you, you just said so yourself that your bloodline with Ah Yuan can’t be severed.

“I’s your choice to be friends. I won’t interfere, but I hope you won’t do anything to hurt your only family—the Du family. You have to know your limits.”

Upon hearing her ex-husband mention her good friend, Madam Xiao could not help but frown. In the end, she nodded elegantly. “The relationship between the Xia and Du families never had anything to do with me, but since you mentioned Ah Yuan, I’ll heed your advice.

“Although I didn’t raise him, I was still pregnant with him for ten months. When I was young, I said something that hurt his heart. He remembers it till now and blames me. This is God’s retribution. He’s telling me that I shouldn’t be too presumptuous.

“ve swallowed the bitter fruit I planted. No matter how Ah Yuan treats me, I deserve it. However, if anyone wants to harm Ah Yuan, I won’t sit idly by. You can rest assured about this.”

Toward the end, Madam Xiao mocked herself. Her red eyes flickered with tears.

Although she was over 50 years old, time still treated her well. She did not have to worry about anything or ask questions, so she was good at maintaining her looks. She could even pass off as a 40-year-old.

The pampered attitude she had when she was young continued to be maintained for most of her life. She had become calm and elegant with black hair and gentle eyebrows. Although she lived a selfish life, she had lived it well.

She always knew what she wanted and knew not to hurt herself. Such a person lived more clearly than anyone else.

Unfortunately, she lived life too well. What she did could always unintentionally or unintentionally hurt others. She wanted to get what she wanted, even if it was built on the basis of hurting others. Such people who ‘lived well’ were rare.

Commander Xia’s ex-wife, Xiao Shuman, was such a person. She would never sacrifice herself to help others.

Commander Xia looked at his ex-wife and nodded gently. “Since you know, I won’t say anything else. I believe in your words.”

As long as she understood what was going on, he did not have to worry.

Little Six was her child, after all. In the past, she abandoned Little Six because she wanted to be happy. Now that she was old, she wanted to mend their relationship. Based on this, he believed that Madam Xiao would not help outsiders.

A selfish person would always understand what was most important to them.

Commander Xia didn’t ask to see his ex-wife off anymore. He took his coat and nodded at Madam Xiao, who was still sitting. He said goodbye and left the room.

Outside, Xia Jinyuan had already instructed a plain-clothed guard to go over. He said softly to Commander Xia, “Commander in Chief, the car is parked outside.”

“Alright, let’s go.”

Madam Xiao, who had not moved, heard her ex-husband speak in a dignified voice. The door slowly closed, gradually blocking all the sounds outside.

“Sigh, looks like I’m really old now.” She poured herself a cup of hot tea. She slowly took a gentle breath. Although her eyes that were once bright and beautiful like autumn now had wrinkles around them, her temperament still made her look elegant.
