Since she had said so, what else could Staff Officer Du say? He could only say, ‘Okay, I’ll eat with Chenglan first. If your talk ends earlier, you can join us for a meal.” Then, he said to Commander Xia, ‘Old Xia, you two have a good chat. What’s the big deal, anyway? Since Little Xia is here, the three of you can

sit down and talk. There’s nothing you cantt solve.

“We have to be good at our jobs, but we can’t do this to our own family. We have to make concessions and can’t manage our families like a dictator.” After saying so much, the main point was still the last sentence, ‘We can’t manage our families like a dictator.

Xia Jinyuan was neither humble nor overbearing, He smiled elegantly and said, “Thank you for your reminder, Staff Officer Du. Actually, no matter whether it’s at home or outside, we can’t adopt a dictators.h.i.+p approach.”

Staff Officer Du smiled and left with his wife.

Madam Xiao wiped her tears and said, “Where’s the private room? I haven’t sat down for a long time. Ah Yuan, talk to me, okay? I won’t take up too much of your time.”

“Madam Xiao, coincidentally, I have something to say to you too. Dad, please guide Madam Xiao back to the private room. I’ll get the waiter to prepare a pot of tea.” Xia Jinyuan didn’t have the mood to talk about their mother and son relations.h.i.+p. After speaking calmly, he walked over to order some tea.

The tea was brewed. The three of them, who had not sat together for many years, sat ina triangle. The distance between them widened. Madam Xiao looked at her son, who did not even want to sit with her. He did not even want to look at her. She felt bitter.

She looked at her ex-husband, who was sitting opposite her. Although he was old, he had more charisma than when he was young. He had been in the army all this while, but now, he had become the commander in chief. She didn’t dare to look at him anymore.

They were old. Thinking back to their youth, she felt as though it was a dream. After making a mistake, she didn’t even have the chance to correct it.

She didn’t say anything. Commander Xia was able to keep his composure. He sipped his freshly brewed hot tea and allowed his ex-wife to size him up.

Little Six often said that he didn’t have good taste when he was young as he found a woman who couldn’t take the pressure. Actually, he had good taste when he was young.

He was no exception. He met his ex-wife in a group of students from all over the country. She was talented, good-looking, gentle, and could speak fluent French and English. His ex-wife was quite popular back then, and he had good taste.

However, he forgot that the two of them were not suitable to form a family together. She was used to having her family by her side, and he was destined to return home only occasionally. There was no right or wrong. It was just that they were not suitable.

One wanted to escape from a family without a husband, while the other did not have the intention of saving the marriage. Divorce was inevitable.

However, what he did not expect was Little Six disliking his ex-wife so much, Back then, his ex-wife had asked for a divorce after she just gave birth to Little Six. He was the one who begged her to wait until Little Six grew older before getting a divorce.

‘When Little Six was three years old, his ex-wife’s patience reached its limit. That was when Du Guogiang’s wife, Li Chenglan, brought back a good-looking man! He was none other than his ex-wife’s neighbor who moved to France when he was 12 years old until he was 15..
