Mi Xaing 'er walked to the door and peeked through the gap. She couldn't help but be stunned …
She saw Division Commander Liang standing alone on the steps outside the door. He was dressed in his military uniform and there was a small jeep parked behind him. From the looks of it … he drove himself here.
Mi Xaing 'er had no choice but to open the door and greet him politely, "Division Commander Liang, nice to meet you!"
She then asked, "How did you find your way here?"
She didn't stand on ceremony.
There must be a reason for everything!
Division Commander Liang was a busy man. The reason why he chose to come here alone was, of course, because one wouldn't visit a temple without a cause. It must have something to do with Yun Jingting's "snatching" incident yesterday. However, Mi Xaing 'er didn't expect this matter to develop so quickly and for Division Commander Liang to find his way here so quickly.
He squinted his eyes and sized up Mi Xaing 'er. "What's wrong with you? Are you sick? You don't look well! "
He pointed to the courtyard. "Let's talk inside. If we stand outside for too long, it'll be inconvenient if someone sees us! "
After he finished speaking, he walked slowly into the courtyard.
Mi Xaing 'er followed behind him and closed the door. She didn't ask any more questions and waited for him to speak.
When Division Commander Liang saw that she didn't ask any more questions, he became a little impatient and turned to look at her … He thought to himself, This girl is always different from ordinary people. Every time she meets a "leader", she's neither servile nor overbearing. She doesn't have the "enthusiasm" and "flattery" of ordinary people. If I want to talk to her, I have to pay attention to some "strategic policies".
He coughed softly and swept his gaze across the courtyard. He started with a nonchalant opening speech. "The condition of this place is not bad? I heard that … it belongs to one of Tiger's friends? "
Mi Xaing 'er's heart skipped a beat.
This "heard" has a lot of meaning behind it!
Since he "heard" about the house … he probably "heard" about the whole "Tiger snatching" incident yesterday, right?
She stared at his face indifferently. "Division Commander, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush! I'm not in good health and can't stand for too long. Let's talk inside! "
He took the lead and slowly entered the house.
Division Commander Liang had no choice but to follow along. He inexplicably felt that the other party had only opened his mouth to say one sentence, so why was he so passive?
Mi Xaing 'er entered the room and did not stand on ceremony. She sat down on the chair … What she needed to think about now was the child, not the courtesy and consideration in the eyes of the common people.
This action angered Division Commander Liang. He was used to being respected in the army, but every time he interacted with Mi Xaing 'er, he felt that he was being looked down upon. Yet, he had no way to talk back. Just like now, Mi Xaing' er did indeed look very weak, and was not deliberately being disrespectful.
She had no choice but to sit aside awkwardly … She seemed to be trying to find something to talk about. "Tiger isn't here?"
Mi Xaing 'er smiled faintly, but did not answer his question. "Division Commander Liang, I should have invited you for a cup of tea, but this is not my house, and I'm not familiar with the situation here. So, I'm sorry. If you have something to say, just say it. Tiger will be back at noon, I think … you're not looking for him, right?"
Division Commander Liang was also a smart person. From the other party's words, he could tell that Mi Xaing 'er was somewhat conflicted. In other words … she understood the purpose of his visit, so he might as well not beat around the bush and just say it directly. "Then I'll make a long story short! I heard that Tiger asked for leave from the army yesterday. After he came back, he immediately got into big trouble! "
Big trouble?
Sure enough, whatever he was afraid of … would come true!
Mi Xaing 'er asked unhurriedly, "What? It's only been one night … and the provincial X Committee has already made a scene in the military district? "
Division Commander Liang did not expect her to hit the nail on the head. He admired her observation and wit in his heart. "Yes, the X Committee has made a complaint. This time, it's not just a verbal complaint. They sent a formal letter to the Military District Party Committee, accusing Tiger of carrying a dagger, using a gun to hijack and protect an American spy, and obstructing the Revolutionary Committee from handling a case!"
Huh?
Mi Xaing 'er felt a "boom" in her head …
As a soldier, carrying a dagger, using a gun, attempting to hijack, protecting an American spy, and obstructing a case … Any of these crimes alone could ruin a soldier's bright future.
Mi Xaing 'er opened her mouth, but did not explain. She knew that it was useless to explain to Division Commander Liang. Even if she grabbed Division Commander Liang's arm and cried and argued the whole thing, what was the use? The ones who were going to complain now were Gu Qianxing and his gang!
She only said one sentence, "If necessary … I can go to the Military District Party Committee to make a statement and testify that Tiger did not do these things!"
Mi Xaing 'er also knew in her heart how weak and untenable her "idea" was.
Sure enough …
Division Commander Liang smiled helplessly. "What's the use of you testifying? The Revolutionary Committee will only reply to you, 'You and Tiger are a couple. Of course, you have to side with him!' How are you going to answer that? Besides, you haven't explained your problem clearly yet! I don't care whether you are an American spy or not. This is not the purpose of my visit today! What I want to say is, as long as you are suspected, as a soldier, Tiger can no longer contact you. He has to make a choice. Will he only have you for the rest of his life? Or will he wear a military uniform? "
Although these words were tactful, Mi Xaing 'er was a smart person. She understood it clearly. To put it simply, Comrade Xiao Mi, if Yun Jingting wants to continue living with you, not only will he have to be investigated, but he will also have to take off his military uniform!
Her heart ached faintly, and even her stomach felt uncomfortable. She gently covered her lower abdomen with her hand and bent her body … She couldn't tell if her heart ached more. Or her stomach?
Division Commander Liang saw that her face was pale and couldn't sit still. He quickly stood up and asked, "What's wrong? Do you want me to send you to the hospital? "
Mi Xaing 'er shook her head, gritted her teeth and forced a smile. "It's okay! I'm fine! "
Division Commander Liang saw the pride in her bones and sighed softly. "Xiao Mi, I'm also a man. Of course, I understand how Tiger feels. When his wife is in trouble, of course he will be worried about her. It's understandable that he took leave to come home! Moreover, he has deep feelings for you! I've also witnessed the whole process of your marriage. Tiger really went all out to marry you! He treats you … so well that there's nothing to say! "
He paused and looked out of the window. "But it's because he treats you well and is willing to protect you and take care of you that you have to return the favor. You have to think about him. This is the way of husband and wife … isn't it? Even if he chooses to give up his most beloved career for you, can you live happily for the rest of your life with a clear conscience? Won't you feel guilty and upset? "
"…"
"Tiger's future in the army is limitless! If he chooses you and retires without knowing why, even if he goes to work elsewhere, he will be investigated and questioned. It won't be easy for him! "
Mi Xaing 'er raised her chin …
Enough!
There's no need to say anymore!
She had already thought about these pros and cons hundreds of times in her mind. Although she never said it out loud, she didn't need others to analyze and remind her!
Now …
She only wanted to know one thing. It was also the last straw to "save everything". "Division Commander Liang, I understand what you mean! I just want to ask you a question. I hope you can answer it honestly! "
Division Commander Liang straightened his shoulders … He had a premonition that the most difficult question to answer was coming.
Everyone was smart, so there was no need to beat around the bush. "Do you want to ask me … if the Commander knows about this?"
Mi Xaing 'er smiled but didn't answer.
Division Commander Liang had already thought of an excuse. "Xiao Mi, the Commander went down to check on the work at the grassroots level! He still doesn't know about this! But, I thought … even if he knows, what can he do? This matter has already reached the Party Committee. Everyone in the organization knows about it. Not only that, even the local government … "
Mi Xaing 'er understood …
The so-called righteous path in the world was filled with vicissitudes!
The Commander decided to give up on her as his daughter-in-law for his son's future. This was probably human nature, right?
She didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking and waved her hand. "Division Commander Liang, I'm not feeling well. I won't keep you any longer!"
Division Commander Liang blinked twice. "You mean …"
"What you mean … is what I mean! Tiger can't sacrifice his future for me! "Mi Xaing 'er stood up solemnly." Division Commander Liang, please take care of Yun Jingting in the future! I know how much he loves the army and the country, and how much he wants to be an outstanding soldier! "
She didn't say anything else and waved her hand elegantly. "I won't see you out! This way! "
Division Commander Liang looked at her petite and slightly childish face. He couldn't believe that she had such courage and wisdom. In the face of a major event in life, she didn't cry, didn't make a fuss, didn't quarrel, and didn't fight … She was completely calm and collected.
He started to admire Mi Xaing 'er's arrogance from the bottom of his heart!
----- Digression —
When faced with such a situation, perhaps everyone's choice would be different …
Wuli Mi Xaing 'er was too arrogant. How should she choose? Should she grab hold of her husband and spend the rest of her life in depression, or should she let him have a bright future?
