Chapter 154

Mi Xianger didn't feel surprised when she found out about her parentage. In fact, with her intelligence, she had vaguely guessed the truth a long time ago.

Tang Xiling held her daughter's hand, her eyes filled with sweet memories. "Your father is the most outstanding man I've ever met. I'm also considered proud and arrogant, but ever since I met him at the age of 14, there was no one else in my heart. He graduated from Germany's military academy and held an important position in the army at a young age. He was talented, courageous, and merciless. He was also handsome, and there were many girls who liked him …"

Her face blushed, as if there were still some girlish feelings in her heart at the mention of the past. "At that time, General Duan of Beijing intended to win him over and wanted to marry his daughter to him, but your father refused the marriage for me. That matter was still in an uproar at that time …"

“”

"So, I've always believed that in your father's heart, he still cares about us, mother and daughter. It's only because of the circumstances that our family has been separated for so many years … If one day you two meet again …"

Tang Xiling's eyes were filled with happiness and longing. "Xianger, I'm looking forward to that moment. I'm looking forward to you being able to return to the family and reunite with your daughter …"

She paused for a moment.

She got up and walked to the window, facing the scenery in the courtyard. "As for the hiding place of the gold bars, I'll tell you sooner or later, but now is not the time. Xianger, you know that treasuring a pearl is a crime, right? You're just a little girl. There will definitely be people who will covet such a large sum of money. I have to get rid of all the covetous eyes around you for you, so that I can safely hand over the money to you and not cause you trouble …"

She was also very considerate for her daughter …

She said no more …

She lowered her head, held the old photo in her hand, and looked at it carefully.

After Mi Jianguo left the mansion, he didn't know what Tang Xiling said to him, but he seemed to have changed into a different person.

When Zhao Qiuju came to make trouble again, he actually stood up straight. "What on earth do you want?"

Zhao Qiuju put her hands on her waist. "Where's Yu Hongyan? Get her out here! She ran away with her tail between her legs, thinking that this matter is over! My son hasn't come home until now, what on earth did you do to him? If you don't tell me the truth today, I'll burn down your house!"

She waved her hand at the people she brought with her. "First, destroy the Mi Family!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

Everyone started to fight, creating a foul atmosphere in the courtyard.

Mi Jianguo took a deep breath, picked up the shoulder pole, and waved it vigorously. His voice was also louder, and he spoke with more confidence. He hit everyone he saw. "If any of you dare to move again, don't blame me for not being polite. I'll smash your heads!"

He had always been a yes-man, and it was quite scary for him to suddenly lose his temper.

Everyone involuntarily stopped what they were doing and silently retreated to the side.

Mi Jianguo leaned on the shoulder pole and glared at Zhao Qiuju with a face full of anger. "Don't you know what kind of person your son is? He eats, drinks, gambles, there's nothing he doesn't do! He also has many enemies outside! He's gone missing, and on what basis are you blaming me? Do you have any evidence?"

"I do!"

Mi Jianguo snorted. "You want to pin a crime on me with a pair of broken shoes and an anonymous letter? Bah! That's not going to work at all! If you have the ability, go to the Public Security Bureau and let them investigate. I'll say the ugly words first. When the police arrive, I'll first sue your son for raping my Sun Weiyu! Li Bubai has been harassing my daughter in the village, and I have plenty of witnesses!"

Zhao Qiuju was a little terrified. First of all, she did not have any evidence of Li Bubai's murder. Second, she knew very well that her son had raped Sun Weiyu. Third, Yu Hongyan and Sun Weiyu had both gone into hiding. Even if she killed Mi Jianguo, the silent gourd, there would still be no results.

Although she was worried about Li Bubai, she did not dare to come again. She could only secretly mobilize people to look for her son.

Mi Jianguo started to work in the mansion. He silently chopped firewood and fetched water. After he was done with his work, he did not even take a bite of food. He turned around and left, looking as if he was atoning for his sins. Perhaps he had found his conscience.

Tang Xiling was indifferent and did not take the initiative to talk to him.

The days passed slowly just like that.

In the blink of an eye …

Yun Jingting recuperated in the Mi family for a few days.

His wife served him well and he was in a good mood. Naturally, his injuries recovered quickly. He felt that his legs were no longer hurting as much as before.

Soon, it was August 1st Army Day. That afternoon, an uninvited guest came to the Mi family. It was Division Commander Liang's secretary, Pei Yong.

The moment he entered the door and saw Mi Xianger, he immediately smiled politely. "You must be Comrade Mi Xianger. I have long heard of you. We finally meet today. My surname is Pei, I am Division Commander Liang's secretary."

Long heard of him?

Mi Xianger greeted him graciously.

She was really curious about what he had "heard" about.

It was probably nothing good.

Yun Laohu stood up with the help of his walking stick. "Secretary Pei, why are you here? Is something the matter?"

"Don't move! Laohu, don't move, don't touch the wound!"

Pei Yong rushed over and reached out to hold Yun Laohu's arm. "I specially came to fetch you! There will be a commendation ceremony in the entire military district on August 1st. You are the war hero this time, so you have to attend! Look, the division commander specially sent a car to fetch you. Should we pack up and leave immediately?"

Leave immediately?

This was probably a soldier's habit …

Yun Jingting muttered to himself. He was a soldier and was used to obeying his superiors' arrangements. Even though he was injured, he still had to leave immediately.

Even though he couldn't bear to part with his wife, he still had to turn around and bid farewell. "Hey, can you help me pack up?"

Pack up!

Pei Yong smiled. "Don't rush, I haven't finished speaking. The division commander specially instructed that Laohu's injury needs someone to take care of him. He hopes that Comrade Mi Xianger will follow along …"

Ah!

This meant that Mi Xianger's status had been acknowledged!

Yun Laohu immediately said excitedly, "Secretary Pei, from what you're saying, the organization has officially approved my marriage with Mi Xianger?"

"You can say that. Anyway, no one is gossiping about it now, and the limelight has slowly passed. The division commander has instructed that, for the sake of caution, the announcement of the marriage should not be made public. However, he will strive to arrange for Comrade Mi Xianger to follow the army as soon as possible …"

Division Commander Liang was still protecting Yun Laohu …

The limelight had passed!

How could Mi Xianger not be happy when she heard this?

Pei Yong had been the Bureau Chief's secretary for many years, so of course he had a discerning eye. "I'll wait for you guys outside. I'll smoke a cigarette while I'm at it …"

He quickly walked out the door.

When Mi Xianger saw that there was no one in the room, she quickly turned around and hugged Tiger Yun's neck. She pulled his head towards her and kissed him hard on the lips. Feeling that one kiss wasn't enough, she kissed him a few more times and pinched his thigh with her little hand. She was a little too excited …

Yun Jingting laughed. "You crazy girl …"

Mi Xianger didn't say anything. She happily bent over and adjusted the corner of Tiger Yun's shirt and collar. She felt really proud in her heart … It was a military commendation ceremony. This meant that her husband was deservedly the most outstanding.

Yun Jingting carefully gazed at his wife's face. "Xianger, are you coming back to the city with me?"

Mi Xianger was a little hesitant.

She wanted to go!

She really wanted to go!

Firstly, she couldn't bear to part with her husband. Secondly, she wanted to share his most glorious moment.

However, "What about my mom? I'm still a little worried about leaving her alone at home …"

Tiger Yun made a quick decision. "Then we'll bring her along!"

He didn't even take a taxi. "I've thought about it a lot these two days. You can't be divided into two halves. You have to make a choice eventually. Mom needs you here, and I don't want to leave you either. Why don't we move in together? We won't be separated anywhere!"

He loved the house and its crow. Since he loved his wife, he had to love his mother-in-law as well!

Mi Xianger still had some concerns. "The military hasn't agreed for me to follow them. Can I just bring my mom to the city?"

Tiger Yun said faintly, "There's nothing wrong with that. Not following the military means that you don't have a place to stay for the time being. This problem can be solved easily. If you want to stay outside, we can stay in the guest house first. If you want to stay at my dad's place, I don't have a problem either. Of course, this isn't a long-term solution. I'll report to the organization as soon as possible and ask them to settle the family matters."

This man's thoughts were meticulous and he was always devising strategies. Almost nothing could stump him. It seemed like he had already planned for the whole family to enter the city.

Mi Xianger thought for a moment. "I don't have any objections. It doesn't matter where I stay as long as I can be with you. However, I don't know what my mom thinks. I'll go and ask her …"

She hurriedly ran to the main room and did not beat around the bush when she saw Tang Xiling. "That's the matter. Will you enter the city with me? After all, I can't stop worrying about Yun Jingting if you stay here alone. It won't be good for his recovery if he stays in the village all the time."

Tang Xiling was silent for a moment …

She actually nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll follow you to the city. As for where to stay, I'll listen to your arrangements."

Oh my!

So straightforward!

Did she have any 'tricks' up her sleeves again?

Mi Xianger did not have time to delve into it. "Then you and Fu Bowen pack up and we'll leave as soon as possible. The car is still waiting outside!"

Tang Xiling was also agile. She turned and went into the bedroom. In less than two minutes, she came out with a small cloth bag. "Alright, don't worry about me. Go and do what you need to do. I'll inform Fu Bowen …"

Fate was really mysterious.

Everything changed in an instant.

The four of them got into the car and were about to enter the provincial city.

Fu Bowen was the most excited. His face was pressed against the car window along the way. Everything he saw was novel. "Hey, Sis, look here. Mom, look there …"

Tang Xiling was extremely quiet, as though she had something on her mind. She did not speak at all.

Tiger Yun was secretly holding Mi Xianger's hand. His large palm was warm and strong, wrapping around her, making her feel at ease.

Pei Yong turned his head from behind the steering wheel. "Yun Tuan, where are we going first?"

Yun Jingting hesitated for a moment. He turned his head and looked at Mi Xianger. "What do you think?"

"Let's go to the hospital first. It's time to change the dressing on your leg."

Tiger Yun nodded immediately. "Alright, let's go to the hospital first!"

Pei Yong laughed in the rearview mirror. He had known Yun Jingting for seven to eight years, but he had never seen this' tiger 'agree to anything. He was so' willing to listen to other people's opinions'.

The Jeep drove straight into the military hospital. The moment Yun Jingting went upstairs, a nurse had already informed the attending doctor. The doctor quickly walked into the ward and changed the dressing while sternly 'criticizing' him. "Yun Tuan, you're too daring. You dared to leave without applying for leave from the hospital. Moreover, you're gone for a few days. If your injury worsens, who's going to bear the consequences?"

Yun Jingting knew that he was in the wrong. He smiled good-naturedly and lifted his injured leg gently. "Doctor, don't you see that I'm fine? How can I not know my own leg? Isn't it the same wherever I recuperate?"

The doctor was indignant. "Your injury is very serious. It's not as light as you said. Also, you're a war hero. If something happens to you, how can our hospital explain it to the military? This kind of act of leaving without permission is simply …"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Xiaofeng arrived.

The deputy director personally arrived. The attending doctor, of course, had to shut up and quickly moved aside.

Shen Xiaofeng's enthusiasm seemed to be a little too much. "Tiger, you're finally back. The commander has been anxious these two days."

Oh …

It turned out that the commander was anxious …

As the daughter-in-law and the director, of course, she had to be 'anxious' for the chief.

Yun Jingting calmly sat on the hospital bed with a completely unenthusiastic expression.

Shen Xiaofeng awkwardly turned her head and looked at Tang Xiling and Fu Bowen. "These two are …"

Before Mi Xianger could introduce them, Yun Jingting spoke first. "This is my mother-in-law and brother-in-law. They're preparing to move into the city to take care of me …"

Ah!

Shen Xiaofeng carefully looked at the two of them. She saw that Tang Xi and Lin Lin looked to be in their early forties. They were beautiful, had fair skin, and had a slender figure. Their actions revealed the demeanor of a young lady. She then looked at Fu Bowen. His two eyes were darting around. One look and she could tell that he was a smart child.

Mi Xianger spoke. "Mom, this is Yun Jingting … He's Commander Yun's lover. His surname is Shen, Director Shen. This is my mom, her surname is Tang. That's my brother, his name is Xiao Liuzi …"

Mi Xianger did not intend to explain Fu Bowen's background in detail, so she only briefly introduced him.

Shen Xiaofeng took the initiative to shake hands with Tang Xiling. She acted like they were very familiar with each other. "Then should I call you in-law?"

Tang Xiling elegantly moved the corner of her mouth. "Anything is fine …"

She was a very observant person. From these simple words, she could already tell that Yun Jingting did not really like this stepmother. She absolutely cared about her son-in-law's preferences, so she was not very warm to Shen Xiaofeng.

Director Shen did not seem to mind. She turned to Mi Xianger. "Mi Xianger, since you and in-law are in the city, have you found a place to stay? I think you should stop looking. Just move to our place … We have a lot of space and more manpower. It's more convenient to take care of the tiger …"

Without waiting for Mi Xianger's reply, she continued, "What's more, Old Yun specially instructed me to bring the tiger home as soon as he comes back … That's settled! I'll arrange it right away!"

With that, she turned and left.

Mi Xianger shifted her gaze to Yun Laohu. "Mm … What do you think?"

Yun Jingting shrugged indifferently. "It's still the same … You decide …"

Mi Xianger made up her mind. She would settle down first. If it did not work, she would find an excuse to move out. It was better than directly rejecting his request.

Director Shen arranged things quickly. By the time Yun Laohu was done changing his medication, the military's car had already arrived. Along with two or three orderlies to help move the things. Their hands and feet were nimble and fast. In the blink of an eye, everything was packed up.

Yun Laohu sat calmly at the side and watched. There was no expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.

Mi Xianger walked over and softly confirmed, "Then it's settled …"

"Mm …" Yun Laohu looked up at her, his tone firm. "It's still the same … I'll listen to you …"

Since things had come to this …

Then let's move.

Fu Bowen held Tang Xiling's hand and raised his little face. "Mom, we're going to have a new home!"

Tang Xiling shook her head slightly. "That's your sister's home. We'll find another place to stay soon …"

Mi Xianger heard this and turned to look at her …

Find another place to stay?

It seemed like her mother really had some ideas.

She couldn't ask further in front of Yun Laohu …

The few of them walked out of the hospital. Just as they stood on the steps, they saw a shiny and imposing car with a red flag slowly stop in front of them. Looking at the plate number, it was Local Number One. The car door opened and someone slowly walked out, greeting in a low voice. "What a coincidence, you're all here …"

Mi Xianger looked up. "Doctor Xiao, why are you …"

Xiao Qingshan stood in front of everyone calmly.

He first looked at Yun Jingting's injury. "Yun Tuan, are you alright?"

He then greeted Tang Xiling politely. "Your whole family has entered the city?"
