Chapter 459 The Origin of Hostility
As far as she knew, Commander Xie was a lonely man.
Back then, the other party was still Commander Xie, and Lu Chiyu had heard the touching story between him and his lover.
Commander Xie and his lover were a revolutionary couple. They got together before the founding of the Red Country, and both made great contributions to the establishment of the Red Country in the flames of war.
Mrs. Xie lost her ability to be a mother because she was shot in the stomach during a battle and was bedridden. However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Commander Xie, who held a high position, still stayed with her.
The couple had no children throughout their lives, and Commander Xie never remarried after Mrs. Xie passed away 20 years ago.
I heard that when Mrs. Xie passed away, she made a will to scatter her ashes in the waters of Sea C, saying that she would continue to guard the southern border of the motherland and Commander Xie at the same time.
Commander Xie had also long ago made a will that after his death, his ashes should be scattered here in the C Sea, just like Madam Xie's. They would spend their lives together in this sea area after death, and together they would protect the southern border of the motherland.
So how could there be anyone else in Commander Xie's house besides him?
Lu Chiyu was confused and asked, "Isn't Commander Xie the only one in his family? Who is this Si Fen to him?"
It couldn't be what she thought. If that was the case, then Commander Xie's image in her heart would have plummeted to the bottom.
Madam Qin: "This is a long story. To put it simply, Sifen is Commander Xie's cheap daughter-in-law."
Hearing that it was not what she thought, Lu Chiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked curiously: "Cheap daughter-in-law? How cheap?"
"It's like this, Commander Xie doesn't have any children, so his mother has been nagging him to adopt his second brother's youngest son.
But I heard that Commander Xie and the late Mrs. Xie were deeply in love and didn't want to have a nephew who was not a son in their world, so they never agreed.
His mother was unwilling to accept this, so she held an adoption ceremony in her hometown. In front of the clan members and ancestors, she adopted her second brother's youngest son to Commander Xie. This He Sifen became the wife of Commander Xie's adopted son.
Then, Mrs. Qin gave Lu Chiyu a detailed introduction about Commander Xie’s adopted son Xie Jiguang.
Although Commander Xie never acknowledged this adopted nephew and did not make any changes to his household registration, Xie Jiguang always regarded himself as his son.
Later, Xie Jiguang also joined the army, and joined the navy. I heard that he came to our Nandao Military Region, but Commander Xie asked his superiors to transfer him to the Xiabei Military Region on the grounds of avoiding suspicion.
This Xie Jiguang was indeed quite capable. He even married He Sifen, the daughter of a powerful family in the Xiabei Military Region.
Five years ago, Commander Xie was promoted from army commander to commander-in-chief of the upgraded South Island Military Region. Xie Jiguang and the He family made great efforts and finally successfully transferred Xie Jiguang to the South Island Military Region.
Xie Jiguang was promoted to division commander in the Xiabei Military Region. He supported the expanded navy of the Nandao Military Region on the grounds of being familiar with the navy. At that time, there were few high-ranking naval officers in the Nandao Military Region, so his transfer to the Nandao Military Region was very smooth.
When they arrived at the South Island Military Region, everyone with a discerning eye could see that Xie Jiguang had the power of his father-in-law's family and his relationship with Commander Xie. He had always regarded Commander Xie's position as something in his pocket.
However, the discerning people in the South Island Military Region also noticed that as Commander Xie's health deteriorated over the past year, he began to train Gu Yuan as his successor and valued him more and more.
