1901: She Wants To Get Involved

She Wants To Get Involved

She knew that she was a selfish person. Abandoning her husband and child was a disgraceful thing back then, but she had never regretted it. It was useless to regret it now. After all, she had chosen her own path.1

The only regret in her life was that she did not expect that when she was old, she would want to talk to her son about life and hear him share with her about his life as well.

It was a pity that her son was just like her. He had given up on her and would not start over the things he had no intention of starting over. As his mother, she had already been forgotten by him. His world no longer needed his mother's concern. This was something she had not expected.

"Shuman, why are you alone? Where's Old Xia?" The closed door of the private room opened. Madam Li pushed the door open and saw Madam Xiao drinking tea alone. She looked calm and peaceful as if she had never cried.

She was lucky. No matter what, someone would stand up for her. This was something that Li Chenglan was lacking in.

However, things were different now. Madam Xiao had a son but it was the same as being childless. On the other hand, she, Li Chenglan, had two sons and two daughters. She had a thriving life. She had responsible sons to protect her family and delicate daughters to share her happiness with. In this aspect, she, Xiao Shuman, could never compare to Madam Li.

"Chenglan, come, let's sit together. Ah Yuan ordered black tea. It suits my taste." Madam Xiao smiled. She raised her hand elegantly and gestured for her friend to sit down with her.

Li Chenglan's gaze shifted slightly as she sat beside her. "Did Old Xia do anything to you just now? Did he agree to let you meet Ah Yuan from now on?

"Even though Old Xia has a bad temper and seems to do whatever he wants, he still understands logic. If you communicate with him properly, he'll definitely agree. If he doesn't agree, you can tell Old Du. We'll go and look for him!

"I'll look for Old Xia outside, while Old Du will look for him in the military headquarters. Let's see if he still dares to avoid you. You're soft-hearted and don't know how to fight for things. If both Old Du and I were here just now, Old Xia would have given him some face."

She lived an exciting life for more than half her life, but she couldn't even see her only son now that she was old. Sigh, what was the use of living an exciting life in the past?

As humans, one would never know who would have the last laugh.

"You're so hot-tempered. You're almost 60 years old now. Why haven't you changed? Have some black tea." Madam Xiao smiled faintly. She made tea for her old friend and brought it to her. "Old Xia didn't stop me from seeing Ah Yuan. The problem is that Ah Yuan doesn't like me. I can't blame anyone but myself.

"Don't worry about me. It's my fault that I didn't raise my child. I'm sorry, Chenglan. I even implicated you and Old Du and got you guys to worry about me. I'll settle this matter myself from now on. I can't trouble you guys anymore."

However, Madam Li was not happy and even pulled a long face. "What are you saying? Why are you being so polite to me? Old Xia isn't stopping you now, and Ah Yuan is already a grown adult. That old man can't take on the role of the villain anymore."

She meant that Commander Xia had stopped Xia Jinyuan from seeing Li Shuman in the past when Xia Jinyuan was still young. Now that Xia Jinyuan had grown up, he believed that his mother didn't want him. Commander Xia had already achieved his goal. It didn't matter if he didn't stop the two from seeing each other anymore.

Li Chenglan was already a grandmother and would never lower herself to get involved in other people's affairs. However, she had to get involved in the Xia family's affairs.

When she was young, she was able to create trouble for the Xia family. Now that she was old, she still had the ability to make the descendants of the Xia family restless.
