Chapter 1896: Can’t Run A DictatorshipChapter 1896 Can’t Run A Dictatorship
That’s what she said, so what else could Chief of Staff Du say? He spoke: “Alright, Chen Lan and I will be having our dinner first; if you wrap up earlier, then it wouldn’t be too late for you to join us.” He then turned towards Supreme Commander Xia: “Old Xia, you two have a good chat; how big of a deal is it? It happens that Lil’ Xia is also here; why don’t the three of you sit down and have a nice chat? There’s nothing that can’t be settled.”
“In our work, we have to be conscientious and meticulous, but there’s no need to be like that towards our family; we’ll have to suitably give way and can’t run a dictatorship.” He said a lot of cushioning words, but the true point was his final sentence, ‘can’t run a dictatorship.’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXia Jinyuan was neither humble nor pushy; he smiled elegantly: “Much thanks to Chief of Staff Du for the reminder, actually, we can’t run a dictatorship no matter at home or outside, and we also can’t favour certain people.”
Who knew if he meant something else with what he said? Chief of Staff Du only smiled and walked away with his wife in tow.
Mrs. Xiao, who had wiped her tears clean, saw that no outsiders were present; she broke the silence: “Where’s the private dining room? It’s been a long time since we sat down and chatted; Ah, Yuan, come and chat a bit with your mother; I won’t take too much of your time.”
“Perfect, I also have some things I wanted to tell Mrs. Xiao, Dad, please escort Mrs. Xiao back to our dining room; I’ll ask the waiters to steep a pot of tea for us.” Xia Jinyuan did not have any intention of reminiscing their mother-son relationship; after he spoke with aloofness, his long legs strode out as he went to order tea.
When the tea was served, the trio who hadn’t sat together for who knows how many years sat in a triangle; the distance between each other was pulled far. Mrs. Xiao glanced at her son, who wasn’t willing to sit with her, who didn’t even want to give her a look; all she could feel was bitterness in her mouth.
Then taking a look at her ex-husband sitting across her, although he had grown older, he had more of a presence when they were younger, after staying in the military for so long, he had become the Supreme Commander of today, and the aura between his brows made her scared to take more than a couple looks.
Old, so old, they were both so old, recollecting the absurdness of their younger times, she only felt that life was a dream; she had made one mistake after the other and didn’t even have a chance to correct her mistakes.
She didn’t say anything, and Supreme Commander Xia could also hold his silence; he sipped on the just-steeped, hot tea while he allowed his ex-wife to measure him up and down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOld Six always says that his standards were terrible when he was younger and brought a girl who couldn’t face pressure home; in reality, his standards were quite good.
When they were younger, Mrs. Xiao was a famous and talented woman; However, her background was incomparable to the Xia family; she was still a descendant of a family of scholars in the South, that’s why there’s a scholarly temperament around her where normal girls didn’t have.
Beautiful facial features, pale skin, adept in all Four Arts, during the end of the 1950s, a girl like that was normally every guy’s crush.
He too wasn’t an exception, in a group of ashen students, he spotted his ex-wife immediately, talented and beautiful, she also had a gentle personality, and also spoke fluent french, english, in that day and age, his ex-wife was extremely popular, and his standards were still quite high.
However, he had forgotten they weren’t suited to make a family together; she was used to the company of family, while he was destined to come home at uncertain times, there’s no right or wrong; it’s just that they weren’t suited for each other.
One wanted to escape the family without her husband’s presence; the other had lost his will to make amends, a divorce was certain.
However, what he didn’t understand was why Old Six disliked his ex-wife, it was because all those years ago when his ex-wife proposed a divorce was when she had just given birth to Old SIx, and he had begged afterward, begged that it wasn’t too late to divorce after Old Six had grown up.
When he was three years old, his ex-wife’s patience had run out, Du Guoqiang’s wife, Li Chenglan brought back an adonis, darn bastard! That adonis wasn’t anyone else, and it was precisely his ex-wife’s neighbor when she had stayed in France between twelve and fifteen years old.
