Mi Xaing 'er's passionate confession …
Yun Jingting instantly felt like he was on cloud nine … He was so happy that he didn't even know where he was. He even forgot about the bowl of porridge in one hand and wanted to hug his wife.
Mi Xaing 'er was amused. "Master, watch out. The porridge is spilling on the sheets."
Yun Laohu immediately stood up in a flurry. He took a towel and wiped the sheets vigorously. "I'll change it right away … Okay, I'll wash the sheets now."
Mi Xaing 'er teased him. "If you're not the one washing it, who's going to wash it? You're the one who dirtied it. "
Yun Laohu scratched his forehead and smiled foolishly …
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. He quickly walked out. "Who is it?"
When he opened the door, he saw the guards at the entrance of the military zone standing outside. "Regiment Commander, there's an emergency call for you in the guard room!"
There were no cell phones back then … Looking for someone? Most of the time, they could only call a landline somewhere and get someone to pass the message.
Old Hu frowned. Who would call the entrance of the military zone on New Year's Day? And it was so urgent. "Did he say who it was?"
The young soldier nodded. "Regiment Commander, the other party's surname is Chen. They're from the Chen family …"
He was a little embarrassed. "Chen family …"
Yun Laohu's heart skipped a beat. "Chen Jiaxuan?"
"Yes!"
"Then you go first. I'll let them know and they'll come right away!"
Yun Laohu took his coat from the hanger and put it on as he shouted into the bedroom, "Xiang 'er, I'm going out for a while!"
He didn't dare to tell his wife in detail because he was afraid that she would be anxious … Without waiting for Mi Xaing 'er to reply, he quickly went downstairs. He didn't stop to chat with the people who greeted him on the way and went straight to the guard room.
When he picked up the phone, he secretly took a deep breath and tried to speak calmly. "Hello, it's Yun Jingting."
Unexpectedly …
The person on the other end of the line wasn't Chen Jiaxuan at all. The voice sounded unfamiliar and distant. "Erm, are you Head Of Yun?"
"Yes! Yes! "
"It's like this! I'm a friend of Chen Jiaxuan's. He asked me to … Well, he just wanted to ask, is your family okay? "
This question seemed to come out of nowhere, and Yun Jingting was stunned...
How's your family?
What did he mean?
He answered casually, "What's wrong? Everything is great! If you have something to say, say it. "
Then, he added, "What happened on your side?"
He didn't mention the word "America" either …
He was a vigilant person. Since the other party was not someone he was familiar with, it was not appropriate for him to say much. Moreover, this was the military after all. The matter of his mother-in-law going to the United States was more or less "borderline", so it was best not to publicize it.
The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment and spoke more carefully. "Your mother is doing well. Please don't worry. She's just a little worried about her family! He wanted me to ask about the situation here. Oh! Since you are all well, then there is nothing else! I'm hanging up! Also, I will give you a call every month at this time. That's all. Goodbye! "
Although he didn't say anything else, Yun Jingting already knew in his heart that this was probably his mother-in-law's safe and sound phone call.
After all, Tang Xiling had been smuggled out of the country, so she wouldn't dare to call the military base openly. She could only find someone to ask in her name.
Since the other party didn't specifically say anything, Yun Jingting didn't pay much attention to it. He put down the phone and slowly walked home. The moment he entered the house, Mi Xaing 'er raised her voice in the bedroom. "Tiger, you're here!"
You're here?
Of course!
Even if his wife didn't allow him to come … he would still come.
He took off his coat, casually placed it on the sofa's armrest, and quickly walked into the house … Without waiting for his wife to ask, he immediately told her the truth. "I went out to take a call …"
Mi Xaing 'er was a smart person. "I vaguely heard you say … that the person who called was Chen Jiaxuan? How is that possible! His Mandarin is limited. How could he call the military base? "
Yun Laohu sat next to his wife and tapped her forehead with his finger. "You brat, you're so quick-witted and quick-witted. I can't hide anything from you! Yes, the call was made in Chen Jiaxuan's name. However, it was a stranger on the other end. Chen Jiaxuan probably felt that it would be bad for him to make an international call to the military base, so he found someone in China … to pass the message on his behalf! "
Mi Xaing 'er raised the corner of her eye slightly. "What did the other party say?"
"Nothing much. He just asked about the situation at home and asked if … everyone was okay?"
"Why would he ask this for no reason?"
That's right!
Although Yun Jingting also had his doubts, his wife's health wasn't good now. He didn't want her to worry, so he could only comfort her in an evasive manner. "I think … your mother probably misses you. Isn't it the New Year? Last year during the New Year, she kept talking about you! "
Mi Xaing 'er still felt that something was amiss. She anxiously wanted to get to the bottom of it. "I keep feeling that … there must be something wrong here. Tell me more in detail. What else did that person say? Don't leave out a single word! "
Yun Laohu laughed. "What that person said isn't important! He's just a messenger. He definitely doesn't know the real situation with your mother, so I didn't ask much. It would have been a waste of time anyway. In short, your mother just wants to know how the family is doing now. She seems to be a little worried about something. She also said … that she would call us every month in the future. "
Mi Xaing 'er lowered her head. Her hands unconsciously gripped the corner of the blanket. She looked a little dejected.
They had a good relationship as husband and wife. How could they not understand each other's feelings?
Yun Jingting pinched her shoulder and comforted her. "What's the matter? Are you worried about your mother? She'll be fine! Since she can send someone to call us, it means that she's safe. What else are you worried about? Tell me, I'll help you analyze it. "
Although Mi Xaing 'er was shrewd and sophisticated, she was not "sophisticated" like her husband. If she had something to say, she would say it directly. The couple did not hide anything.
She sighed softly. "Tiger, to be honest with you, I'm really a little worried. I'm not worried about her safety, but about her situation!"
"What's wrong with her situation? Isn't your father quite capable over there? "
"That's exactly why I'm worried! Think about it, if my father was just a commoner with no money and no power, I would be at ease to let them reunite. But because my father has property and is a millionaire, in the middle of this … "
She stopped talking.
Mi Xaing 'er had lived in the background of a top millionaire in her previous life. She had seen the ugliness of human nature. She knew that although "high society" looked glamorous, behind the scenes, there were people who would do anything in order to fight for family property. Just like the royal family in ancient times, they could even disregard their relatives and turn it into a vendetta.
There was an old saying that went, "Humans die for wealth, and birds die for food." Perhaps the greedy nature of human nature would unconsciously show itself in various forms when faced with the test of money.
Although Yun Jingting lived in the 1970s and was a soldier, his character was relatively simple and simple, and he didn't have much of a concept of money, he understood human nature. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I understand what you mean, but forgive me for being blunt … Your mother is not easy to deal with. Ordinary people may not be able to manipulate her as they wish!"
That's right!
Tang Xiling did have its own way of thinking and methods. Being able to survive in the shelters of that era, of course, she had some skills.
But …
Mi Xaing 'er continued, "If my mother was in China, then I wouldn't be worried. At least she could handle a lot of things on her own or with our help. But she's alone in America. First of all, there's a language barrier. Second, she's unfamiliar with the environment. She doesn't know the laws and all the relevant provisions over there. Moreover, she doesn't have a legal identity. It's not easy to deal with the immigration and police …"
Mi Xaing 'er said so much in one breath. Yun Jingting widened his eyes in surprise. "What's wrong with your little brain? Why are you thinking of so many problems? "
Mi Xaing 'er did not say anything … It was not like she had never been abroad before. What did she not know?
Her gaze was so deep that it was a little empty. "Tiger, my mother is outside. Even if she's capable, as the saying goes … a strong dragon can't suppress a local snake! What kind of person is Chen Jiaxuan? I'm still more at ease. If he wanted to harm my mother, he could have done so when he was illegally here. There's no need to bring her to America. "
"…"
"So, I thought he was basically on our side! But who else is on my father's side? He's going to leave behind such a large fortune. Won't anyone covet it? I don't believe it! "
"…"
"How could the people who have been waiting by his side for this inheritance watch such a large sum of money fall into my mother's hands? That's not realistic, is it? Even I wouldn't believe it if he told me that everything would go smoothly! "
Yun Laohu admired his wife's analytical skills. "So?"
Mi Xaing 'er lowered her voice. "So, I think something big must have happened over there!"
