The yard is full of flowers, and the fragrance of flowers at night is stronger than during the day.

Zhan Xinyue and Dongfang Xiaoqing sat under the lantern stand. Zhan Xinyue took the watermelon given by Dong Wushuang, ate a piece and then slowly opened her mouth.

"Can I ask how you knew that you might be in danger?"

Dongfang Xiaoqing sat upright, pursed her lips and said, "Mother and child are connected by heart. If you are in danger, I will sense it."

"Heh." Zhan Xinyue turned her head and rolled her eyes.

If there is a real bond between mother and child, why didn't Dongfang Xiaoqing have a bond between mother and child when she was bitten by a poisonous snake, didn't have enough food and was almost starving to death, and was abused by Chen Juxiang and pressed into the water until she was almost suffocated? !

Why didn't you rescue her?

Zhan Xinyue did not utter these questions.

Because there is no need anymore, she now has a husband she loves and a mother-in-law who cares for her. Zhan Xinyue is no longer the girl who longed for maternal love in despair.

"I don't believe it. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to tell the truth. I didn't come to you to ask you this question." Zhan Xinyue ate another piece of watermelon.

It was really sweet. While eating, she thanked Academician Wu Baozhu in her heart.

Dongfang Xiaoqing was silent for a minute, and decided to speak out, "I know that Ling Feng's lover is Zheng Jie, and I also know that she is your father..."

Before she could even say the word "darling", Zhan Xinyue gave her a stern look and Dongfang Xiaoqing immediately fell silent. She was a little afraid of her own daughter.

After a pause, Dongfang Xiaoqing continued, "I know that Zheng Jie and Ouyang Jie were in love. I have also seen the letters Zheng Jie wrote to Ouyang Jie."

The letter expressed her longing for Ouyang Jie and her complaints about Ling Feng, saying that Ling Feng was a jealous lunatic who killed innocent people indiscriminately.

Zheng Jie mentioned in the letter that Ling Feng already knew what Ouyang Jie looked like, and told him not to go to the capital again. If Ling Feng saw him, he might kill him in a rage.

"Xinyue, except for your eyes, your facial features and face shape are exactly the same as Ouyang Jie when he was young. I'm worried that Lingfeng will make you disappear if he sees you."

Dongfang Xiaoqing was about to cry: "When I found out that you went to Kuaisan, I was really worried that something might happen to you. This is a mother's worry for her daughter."

Zhan Xinyue: "Stop, stop! Dongfang 땢zhi, 놖 asked you to come here just to tell you that 놖 will never recognize you."

Dongfang Xiaoqing was stunned and looked unhappy.

Zhan Xinyue ignored her and continued, "Of course, let's put things aside. Thank you for reminding me about this matter today. I owe you a favor. Whatever you want, as long as it is not illegal or immoral, I will satisfy you.

"Xinyue, I don't want anything except for you to call me mom." Dongfang Xiaoqing burst into tears with a look of deep emotion in her eyes.

"You don't have to act in front of me." Zhan Xinyue pointed out directly: "If you really felt a little bit sorry for me, when Tu Nan was taken away, you wouldn't have jumped out in a hurry to distance yourself from him."

Zhan Xinyue taunted, "When 놖 was in trouble, you ran away. Aunt Xu and 놖 had only known each other for a short time, and she knew to buy time for 놖, so that 놖 could pack her clothes and have a good meal."

"What about you? You were afraid that our relationship would be known to others, so you made your stand clear right away." Zhan Xinyue stood up and said, "So, Dongfang Xiaoqing, please don't bother me anymore in the future, and don't mention the word mother in front of me. You don't deserve it."

Just as Zhan Xinyue finished speaking, she saw a military vehicle parked outside the courtyard gate.

"Your husband is here to pick you up. By the way, he has done a great job today. I guess he will be assigned another position. Brigadier General Li is a good person, capable, and not very old. After what happened today, he will definitely have room for promotion."

Zhan Xinyue turned around and looked at Dongfang Xiaoqing steadily: "If you insist on acknowledging your relationship, you will hinder your husband and lose more than you gain."

"How could that be? These are two different things." Dongfang Xiaoqing was puzzled.

"Think about it carefully." Zhan Xinyue was too lazy to say anything more and went straight into the house.

Dongfang Xiaoqing is not stupid. As soon as Zhan Xinyue left, she thought of Ouyang Jie, who is the descendant of a wealthy capitalist who fled overseas.

If she and Zhan Xinyue acknowledged each other as relatives, others would definitely find out who Zhan Xinyue's biological father was.

It doesn't matter in Huandao, Li Xiangqiang is the boss, even if someone gossips, they only dare to talk about it secretly behind his back, and they definitely don't dare to check, nor do they have the ability to find out who Zhan Xinyue's father is.

But it was different in the capital. Finding Ouyang Jie was not a matter of minutes, but it was also very simple.

Once Ouyang Jie is found, Zhan Xinyue and Dongfang Xiaoqing will be implicated.

"Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you? Why are you mad here alone?" Li Xiangqiang got out of the car and prepared to pick up his wife and children to go home. When passing by the yard, he saw Dongfang Xiaoqing with a frightened look on her face, and walked over to ask.

"Ah?" Dongfang Xiaoqing was shocked. Fortunately, Zhan Xinyue was smart and did not recognize her as his relative, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Lao Li, you're finally here. I was so worried about you." Dongfang Xiaoqing held the man's arm, her almond-shaped eyes full of worry and admiration.

"Oh." Li Xiangqiang responded. Ever since Dongfang Xiaoqing couldn't wait to break up with Sheng Tunan last time, his attitude towards his lover has been much worse than before.

"I thought you saw that Tuanan has a good family background and were going to pester him to recognize him as your relative." Li Xiangqiang said with a hint of sarcasm.

"No, Lao Li, I know I'm wrong." Dongfang Xiaoqing's eyes were blurred with tears. "Last time, it was also for our family. Everyone in the army knows that you are good to Tunan. If you don't stand up and distance yourself from him, if Tunan really gets into trouble again, you will definitely be taken away for questioning as his direct superior. It's okay for you, you can endure hardships, but we still have Guagua."

"Old Li, I had a good talk with Xinyue today. I know that you are not worthy of being her mother, and I will not bother her again. I will never mention the matter of recognizing her as my relative again, and I will not reveal it to outsiders. This matter is our secret. I will not bother Xinyue and Tunan in this life. I will only bless your daughter and son-in-law from afar, and I hope they are safe and happy."

Dongfang Xiaoqing was moved when she spoke. She was an actor in a drama troupe, her expressions were on point, her acting skills were perfect, and she could even control her tears so well that they only flowed without a runny nose. Her eyes could still be wide open.

I have to say, it is indeed beautiful.

Li Xiangqiang sighed and said, "I hope what you said this time is true."

"It's absolutely true." Dongfang Xiaoqing promised, and went back to the house holding Li Xiangqiang's hand.

When they entered the house, Li Xiangqiang saw Sheng Tunan wrapped in gauze. He pulled Dongfang Xiaoqing's hand away, walked over quickly, and asked about his situation with a nervous look.

"Commander, don't take this minor injury seriously." Sheng Tunan said with a smile: "Compared to the past, this time is just a drizzle."

Li Xiangqiang: "You have a family now, so you should pay more attention to your safety."

Sheng Tunan looked at his lover and nodded, "Yes. I will. Thank you for arriving on time this time, Commander."
