She sighed again and said, “Your matters are my matters. We’ve known each other for more than 40 years, and you don’t have any siblings either. You’ve also lost contact with the people in your hometown. Seeing you alone makes my heart ache. Why don’t I help you?

“Old Xia is a stubborn donkey. Old Du and I have experienced it. We have to talk about this together. You can’t do it by yourself, Old Xia is no longer a small regimental commander. He’s the commander in chief now. If he has the will, you won’t be able to defeat him.”

It was one thing to hear too many of these things. If one was young, these words might have had a small effect. If one was older, it would be difficult to be swayed by such things.

Madam Xiao, who was listening quietly, did not interrupt Madam Li. She sat there gracefully with a gentle smile on her lips.

After her friend finished speaking, she smiled and said, “Old Xia has never been a bad person. You’re still biased against him. Alright, let’s not talk about the father and son. Has Jiayi arrived? I miss her too much.”

She calmly changed the topic. After Madam Li’s gaze darkened, she smiled and said, “She’s here. When she didn’t see you, she started making a fuss. She pushed me out to look for you.

“Then, why are the two of us still sitting here? Let’s go. We can’t let her wait for too long.” Madam Xiao stood up happily and sighed with emotion. “A daughter is still the best. A daughter is a mother’s sweetheart. Chenglan, you’re blessed.”

There was no one who didn’t like their children being praised. Madam Li’s greatest sense of accomplishment was having two children by her side. As her smile crept up her face, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened. “I’m not like you. You’re someone who chases after what you want and lets go

‘once you want to.”

The two of them walked out of the room while talking and laughing, Suddenly, Madam Xiao sighed. “I was even thinking of getting Du Jiayi and Ah Yuan together. What a pity.”

However, what was there to pity? Madam Xiao didn’t mention everything, and Li Chenglan smiled but didn’t say anything either. Unfortunately, the Xia and Du families had different political views and were destined not to be in-laws.

After they returned home and Madam Li was done talking about the matter, Staff Officer Du had a grave expression on his face. After thinking for a long time, he said, “Xiao Shuman suddenly asked the two of us not to interfere. Does she know something?”

“What does she know? Old Du, Shuman is not stupid. She knows what she’s doing the best.” Madam Li, who was lying in the massage chair and relaxing her muscles, said calmly, “I’ve known her for 40 years. I know her, and she knows me. She has seen what I’ve done, and she never exposes me because

those things have nothing to do with her.

“Shuman would never worry about things that have nothing to do with her.”

Staff Officer Du did not understand what his wife said. In his eyes, Xiao Shuman was a person who did not have a deep mind. People would do everything for her and she did not have any opinions.

“You said that she lives her life well, but I think she’s just a fool. I don’t understand what’s going on between you two women, and I’m too lazy to figure it out either. As long as Xia Xinhui doesn’t have a chance to rise again in the next two years, I’ll feel at ease.”

Women schemed at home while men schemed for power outside. What Staff Officer Du needed was power and influence.

“Tl do what I have to do, and you’ll do what you have to do. We’re already grandparents, so it’s perfectly fine to be a little vague sometimes.” Madam Li didn’t say what she was going to do next. She closed her eyes as if she was sleeping.

It was tiring to worry over things when one was older. However, it was impossible not to worry..
