It wasn't that she insisted her daughter risk going out of her way to give herself away; it was just that Old Deng was having difficulties.
Old Master Xiao is a man who cannot tolerate any nonsense. If it were a factual accusation against Deng, he would have let it go, but back then, he didn't have a choice.
If he doesn't heed the hints from the chairman of the committee, then Lao Deng will be the next one to be targeted! Not to mention he could never get promoted!
There was no other way, so Deng had to obey. In fact, he made the right choice. After the betrayal, Deng was promoted one rank.
But who could have imagined that the Xiao family would rise again?
Moreover, Mr. Xiao is now a shoo-in for the next top leader.
Old Deng has been sidelined ever since Old Master Xiao returned to the military headquarters. A few days ago, he was even found out about a mistake and sent back to his original position. He had finally climbed up and tasted the power, so how could he bear to go back to his original position?
That leaves us with no choice but to see if we can make a move on our children's marriages!
The couple weren't speaking without reason; Xiao's parents were indeed very satisfied with Deng Jiao at the time.
What she found out was that Bai Yajing was just a country bumpkin.
After a while, Deng Jiao opened the door and came out with red eyes.
She felt extremely frustrated at that moment, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She yelled in a low voice, "Mom! Am I some kind of despicable person? People are pointing their fingers at me and calling me a mistress or concubine!"
Before today, she was full of confidence, believing that based on her past relationship with Xiao Che, the attitude of Xiao's parents, and the fact that Bai Yajing was a country bumpkin, she felt superior and thought she had won completely.
But today's brief encounter has shattered all her confidence and pride!
She's lived to be twenty years old, and this is the first time she's ever been so humiliated!
Deng's mother hugged her tightly, feeling sorry for her.
"Xiao Jiao, for your father's sake, for the sake of our family, please listen to us just this once, okay?"
That woman's words were barbed. I know you're not feeling well, but... but your father isn't having an easy time in the military either. Those people are all sycophants and bullies. He's not well-liked now. If there's really no way to improve his relationship with the Xiao family, he'll never be able to advance any further in his life!
"Then you won't have an easy time either, will you?"
Deng Jiao was being held by her mother, but where her mother couldn't see, her eyes were filled with conflict and dissatisfaction.
She was furious and resentful that her father was incompetent and that his career required sacrificing his daughter's reputation to succeed.
If he were truly capable, why would he need to be so subservient and trembling with fear?
Although she also liked Xiao Che, she didn't want to demean herself to the dust!
But she also knew that they were all in the same boat, and if they couldn't repair their relationship with the Xiao family, her father might not even be able to keep his current position...
"I understand, let me think about it..."
Deng Jiao's words put her mother at ease. It was good that her daughter agreed; as long as her daughter was willing to cooperate, they would have a way to turn the situation around.
"My dear daughter, once you become the granddaughter-in-law of the Xiao family, with the abilities of Old Master Xiao and Xiao Che, what won't you have in the future?"
When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will, strain their muscles and bones, starve their body, leave them destitute, and thwart their endeavors, so as to strengthen their resolve, temper their character, and increase their abilities!
To rise above others, you have to endure! Xiao Che is the best person you can ever get close to in this lifetime!
Although the couple was a bit selfish, at least they had considered their daughter's well-being.
Gradually, as Deng's mother described the bright future, Deng Jiao's eyes changed and became more determined.
