Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don t Mess Around! - Chapter 2805

2805 Great House
The Xia family’s home was a big mansion. There were trees surrounding it to block the sun and cool it down. It was hot outside, but the inside of the house was extremely cold. Old Madam Xia’s body wasn’t in good shape, so she couldn’t stand the cold. Even if it was just a small fan, she had to cover herself up to prevent herself from getting cold.

Xia Jinyuan didn’t know that Madam Xiao, whom he didn’t want to see the most, was rushing to Beihai. Sitting in the car, she was very anxious. After a while, she urged the chauffeur to drive faster, afraid that she would miss out on her son.

“Hurry up and wipe your sweat. You’re so anxious that you’re sweating.” Madam Li, who was sitting at the back, took a tissue and handed it over. “Ah Yuan is accompanying the old master and the old madam at the old residence now. He won’t be in a hurry to leave. Don’t be anxious. You’ll see him when you reach.

“Moreover, the old madam called you personally. This means that the old madam will keep Ah Yuan and not let you miss him.”

Madam Li persuaded her in a soft voice. She had just done her beauty treatment half a month ago. Now, she didn’t look like an old lady in her early 60s. Even if she said that she was 45 or 46 years old, people would believe her.

When she wore the most elegant cheongsam, she had the composure of a strong woman. Even Madam Xiao, who was a few years younger than her, couldn’t compare to her.

That was true. Madam Li was very proud now. How could Madam Xiao, who abandoned her husband and son back then and returned to the country alone, compare to Madam Li, who had children and grandchildren?

Madam Xiao wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked at her good friend who insisted on accompanying her. “Just send me to the alley later. I’ll go over alone. I feel bad for having troubled you so much upon my return.

“You don’t have to accompany me. I’ll go over myself.”

Madam Li patted the back of her old friend’s hand. “I’m worried about you going over alone. Ah Yuan has a temper and hates you. If he knows that you suddenly came to the old residence to look for him, I’m worried he’ll be furious.

“I wonder what Old Xia told Ah Yuan that made him not want to see his own mother. I’ll accompany you. I want to ask Ah Yuan if he has any manners.”

Manners?

Madam Xiao chuckled softly. “Decades ago, I made a very big mistake. What right do I have to bring up manners? The Xia family…” Madam Xiao looked out of the car window, not letting Madam Li see the flickering light in her eyes. “The Xia family is the most well-behaved family. They’ve been standing tall for a hundred years. Ah Yuan was personally taught by the old master and the old madam. If he has no manners, no one else has manners.”

These words made Madam Li’s expression stiffen a little. Why did it sound like she was accusing her of saying something wrong?

Madam Li looked at Madam Xiao, who had turned her head to look outside. She smiled and continued, “That makes sense. The Xia family is one of the top old families in the Imperial City. Ah Yuan is also considered a third-generation descendant. He’s a soldier. Soldiers are the most well-behaved. So, you don’t have to worry that he won’t see you.”

“I hope so,” Madam Xiao replied absent-mindedly. She didn’t want to say anything else.
Madam Li, who was accompanying her, couldn’t tell what her old friend was thinking. She had always been a reliable person, so she didn’t say anything else. She would take things one step at a time. After all, she could watch a good show today.

The old aristocratic family had been standing tall for a hundred years despite hardships? Hahaha, how could there be a family that could stand tall after a hundred years of hardships? It was just that they hadn’t encountered anything big!
