1897: Self-righteous Thoughts

Self-righteous Thoughts

When the childhood sweethearts met again, she no longer cared about him and insisted on getting a divorce.2

When he returned from the army and saw Little Six, who was the size of a radish, he couldn't bear it and wanted to pursue Shu Man again. However, when his ex-wife found out about it, she was so startled that she flew to France to avoid him.

Little Six had met her three times after his parents' divorce. The first time was when he was ten, the second time was when he was 16, and the third time was when he was admitted to the military academy.

They had only met three times, so why did he dislike his ex-wife so much?

Commander Xia was puzzled about this.

The room was silent. No one seemed to want to talk to her. Madam Xiao, who was over 50 years old, lit a cigarette for herself and slowly took a puff. She let out a smoke ring and smiled bitterly. "You father and son can think of me as being unreasonable, but Xia Xinhui, I'm Ah Yuan's mother. This is an indisputable fact and it can't be changed. Even if you don't want Ah Yuan to acknowledge me, my blood relationship with Ah Yuan can't be changed.

"It's my fault for disturbing the old madam at the old residence today. But Old Xia, how many years has it been since I last saw my son? From when he was 16 till now when he's 26, it's been ten years! I tried contacting you but you avoided me. I wanted to introduce my friend's daughter to Ah Yuan, but you didn't mention it to him at all.

"Since you didn't want Ah Yuan to meet me, I could only go to the old residence to look for the old madam and beg her to let me meet Ah Yuan."

Xia Jinyuan wanted to stay out of this when he saw that they were discussing him. However, he had to say a few words. His voice was calm and indifferent. "Sorry for interrupting."

Madam Xiao, who was smoking, saw that Xia Jinyuan was talking to her. She immediately revealed a happy expression, but she froze soon after.

Xia Jinyuan said calmly, "I have to speak up for my old man. Madam Xiao, all your thoughts are just self-righteous.

"First of all, my old man has never stopped me from meeting you. On the contrary, you abandoned your husband and son for the sake of happiness and love back then. My old man often said that he let you down and couldn't blame you for leaving. He even often reminds me to look through the photos of you hugging me when I was a child whenever I'm free. He always tells me that you actually love me a lot.

"But I'm sorry to say that I didn't do it. In my memory, you often told me that if it weren't for me, you would've left this prison of a marriage long ago."

When Madam Xiao, who was holding a cigarette between her fingers, heard this, her face turned pale. The cigarette in her fingers had already fallen to the table in shock. She widened her eyes and looked at her son in disbelief.

"No… You… You… It's impossible…"

"Secondly, when the old man knew that you were back, he called me and told me to visit you. I met you once when I was ten years old and I met you again when I was 16. Both times, it was the old man who forced me to go. If it weren't for the old man, Madam Xiao, I wouldn't have looked at you even if you were kneeling in front of me."

At this moment, Madam Xiao's face was pale. Even her lips had lost their color.

"Also, why do you think you're qualified to find me a girlfriend? Back then, you abandoned your husband and son. You ignored me and Old Xia.

"You weren't around when I needed you. Now that I don't need you, you decided to appear again and even want to help me get a girlfriend. Madam Xiao, why do you have to force me? My dad didn't make things difficult for you back then, right? Otherwise, did you think you could really divorce him just because you wanted to?"
