Chapter 208

That night …

Mi Xianger and Xu Jingya were lying on two separate single beds …

Mi Xianger turned her body sideways and rested her head on her arm. She looked at Xu Jingya quietly under the moonlight. "Mom, I used to think that you were a gentle and quiet lady from a wealthy family. Now that I've seen you today, you're actually quite heroic! Especially when you patted your chest and said, 'Leave this matter to me. I guarantee that I'll settle the dispute in five days!' Mom, are you really that confident? Do you really know that Yu Jingguo? "

Xu Jingya smiled faintly. The moonlight enveloped her face and obscured the vicissitudes at the corners of her eyes, leaving only her elegant features. "Silly girl, don't listen to Mo Dongyang's nonsense. How many people did my grandfather have under him at that time? Can I remember that many? Besides, it's been so many years. Even if I've met those people before, I can't remember many of them! "

"…"

"The reason why I guaranteed that I would settle the dispute wasn't because I knew the factory manager. It was because I wanted to make up for the cost of the bricks … This is the simplest and most direct method. At the same time, it's also the fastest to see results!"

Mi Xianger arched her body on the bed. "You want to make up for the cost of the bricks? Don't you think you're losing out? Besides, if it's really as Mo Dongyang said, isn't it the same as paying double the cost? It's not worth it! "

Xu Jingya waved her hand gently. "You're still young! Some things are hard to accept! In the past, my grandfather always said … don't force people, win them over with virtue. If you suffer a loss now, you'll enjoy a lifetime of happiness! It's useless to be competitive. Take a step back, and you'll see the world! "

Mi Xianger gave her a thumbs up. "You're right! However, it's easier said than done! Not everyone is as broad-minded as you are! "

Xu Jingya pursed her lips and half-joked, "What broad-minded? You little brat, you've learned how to flatter me? I don't think I'm broad-minded. It's just that I've been through a lot, and I've gotten over it! Sometimes, if you do someone a small favor, they'll remember it for a lifetime and return it sooner or later! Even if they don't remember it, we'll still be able to live up to our conscience. Wherever we go, we'll be able to straighten our backs and talk tough! "

Hugging the blanket, she half-sat on the bed. "For example, Mo Dongyang's father was a fruit seller when he was young. He didn't even have a stall. Later on, he was almost beaten to death by a gang of hooligans. My grandfather saved him and gave him some money to start a small business. At that time, he didn't think of returning the favor. In the end, a few years later, he was ambushed by his enemies and almost lost his life. It was Mo Dong who risked his life to protect my grandfather in a hail of bullets …"

Mi Xianger also sat up on the bed. The two of them looked at each other in the darkness. Their faces were filled with excitement. "There's such a thing? Why do I feel like … I can write a book about it? "

Xu Jingya sighed softly. "At that time … Shanghai itself was a legendary place. Good people and bad people mixed together, and all kinds of forces restrained each other. It wasn't easy to survive and stand out in that environment!"

The atmosphere was just right, but Mi Xianger couldn't help but ask, "Then … Mom, do you mind if I ask, how did you and … Commander Yun get together?"

Xu Jingya was silent for a while. Her gaze was fixed on the night sky. Looking at the new moon, she said with a sigh, "It's a long story. How many years has it been …"

She seemed to have returned to her younger days. Her cheeks were flushed, and she spoke slowly, as if she was savoring every little detail of the past. "At that time, my father owned a textile factory. Yun Mo City was working in the factory. In reality, that identity was just a cover. He had always been working underground … We met by chance a few times. I felt that he was more courageous and knowledgeable than others. I was the one who took the initiative to pursue him!"

A rich young lady pursuing an employee of a textile factory?

There was no one else like that.

Mi Xianger thought that she would continue, but Xu Jingya suddenly stopped and waved her hand. "Let's not talk about him anymore! That person has nothing to do with me now! "

There was a tinge of pain in her tone.

It was no wonder!

She had stayed in the country for the sake of her husband and child. When the turmoil came, she was implicated and cut off all ties with her family. In the end, her husband married someone else … Perhaps any woman would feel some resentment if this happened to her?

Xu Jingya lay back on the bed with her back facing Mi Xianger. Her voice sounded a little erratic. "Actually, I really didn't blame Yun Mo City in the past. I understood his difficulties. He's a man, and he's in such a position. He definitely needs a woman to take care of the family! He married someone else, which only means that … his love for me isn't enough … "

She laughed self-deprecatingly. "Forget it! Let's not talk about it anymore! At my age, it's time to let go of relationships! But this time, he didn't stand up to protect you and Tiger. I feel a little uncomfortable … I'll remember this score. When I see him in the future, I'll settle it with him! "

She turned her head and looked at Mi Xianger with the help of the moonlight. "So, girl, you're luckier than me. Tiger is different from his father. He's the kind of man who will not turn back once he loves you. Believe me, if you withdraw for him, you'll only be rewarded with double his love. In this life, no woman can replace your position in his heart!"

Speaking of which, how would Tiger's mother settle the score with Commander Yun in the future?
