“No one led anyone astray. I just wanted to do business and make money for myself. When I first came here, you gave me some money. I also hoped that I could find a way to make a living. Now that I have realized my dream of making money, why are you unhappy about it?”
Xiao's mother was speechless.
After a long while, she stammered, "This really needs to be considered carefully. Jiang Tian, I don't care what kind of establishment you open, but I'm making this call for something important for both of you."
Xiao's mother readily changed the subject.
"What important matter?"
"What else could be so important? It's just about men and women. Xiao Chenglin is willing to let you stay there and has accepted you as his wife, so you have to seize the opportunity and get pregnant as soon as possible. The eldest son of the Xiao family doesn't even have a child yet. You don't know what people say about me when I go out to visit."
"You shouldn't be telling me this. You know Xiao Chenglin doesn't like me. We're just living under the same roof. Mother, I can't fulfill your dream."
Xiao's mother was exasperated: "You don't understand men at all. For men, as long as a woman has even one redeeming quality, they'll reach out to her. The fact that Xiao Chenglin is willing to accept you means that you have merits in his eyes. You're not ugly either. As long as you take the initiative, Xiao Chenglin will definitely fall head over heels for you."
"Eldest daughter, as your mother-in-law, I've been good to you. I've done everything you asked for. Please leave some descendants for my son."
“Xiao Chenglin will definitely have other women in the future, let them have children for him.” Jiang Tian’s tone remained calm.
Xiao's mother exploded as if a bomb had been lit: "What nonsense are you spouting? My son must side with his legal wife. No one can have a child before you, even before yours. I have high hopes for you, my dear son, don't let me down!"
As a woman confined to her home, Xiao's mother could only see a small patch of land.
Her greatest shame in life was failing to keep a close eye on her man, allowing him to find a mistress.
At least that mistress didn't get pregnant, so she still has some face left.
If Jiang Tian can't even control her man, Xiao's mother will be furious.
“I cannot fulfill your request. This is not something I can decide alone. You should tell your son and see what he says.”
"Mother-in-law, I have an urgent matter to attend to and can't continue our conversation. If it's convenient for you, I'll hang up now."
Xiao's mother was truly surprised that her daughter-in-law had become so assertive.
She wanted to say a few more words, but Jiang Tian had already hung up the phone.
Xiao's mother was furious and called Xiao Chenglin again.
"Mom, what do you want to see me about?"
Xiao Chenglin is looking at documents.
"What is it you two are trying to drive me crazy? Xiao Chenglin, I don't know how high a rank the warlord is, but I do know that of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring. Your wife has come to you, and you've stayed behind. How long are you two going to keep this up? Husbands and wives shouldn't hold grudges overnight. Quickly resolve your differences and give me a few grandchildren."
Xiao's mother directly said what she most wanted to say.
Xiao Chenglin frowned immediately: "Mom, I've already told you that it's not convenient to talk about those private matters these days. I'm very busy with my daily work, so please don't take up my time."
“Do you know what I’m worried about? I’m afraid you’ll recklessly charge forward and end up leaving nothing behind. If you can get along well with your wife, at least leave me a grandchild, okay? I hope your lineage can continue.”
Xiao's mother inadvertently spoke the truth. She was genuinely afraid that her son might be in danger. She had many children, and while she did care for them, she was also afraid that Xiao Chenglin would leave this world without leaving behind a child of his own, which would be such a pity.
Xiao Chenglin hung up the phone abruptly.
He never expected that his mother valued carrying on the family line even more than he did.
Xiao Chenglin's claim of being busy with official duties is true.
His injuries have just healed, and he's about to go into battle.
Before leaving, Xiao Chenglin told Jiang Tian, "I don't know when I'll be back. Don't cause trouble while you're out there. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it yourself. If I don't come back, you'll be the one who suffers in the end."
He knew his business was doing quite well, but there were also a lot of troublemakers.
If he hadn't sent people to guard the place, her shop really wouldn't have been able to continue operating safely.
But he's going to be away for a while now, and if someone causes trouble, he won't be able to show up in time.
"I'm fine here."
Jiang Tian's expression remained as cold and ruthless as ever.
Xiao Chenglin gave her a deep look but said nothing more.
He left very soon.
Even after he left, news about him would occasionally come in.
Jiang Tian also occasionally receives interview invitations.
She didn't accept any of them.
The battle lasted for two months, and Xiao Chenglin successfully defended the land beneath their feet.
The problem is, he was also injured.
"Mrs. Xiao, the warlord's injuries are very serious. He is currently in the hospital and cannot return. Please go and see him."
Regardless of their marital relationship, their interests were aligned, so the warlord naturally wanted to ask Jiang Tian for help first, rather than anyone else.
Moreover, according to their observations, Jiang Tian is a person with extremely strong life skills.
Miss Qin is a daughter of a wealthy family, and this is not the right time for her.
Hearing the plea from Xiao Chenglin's men, Jiang Tian didn't hesitate at all: "I'll pack my bags now and go with you."
His men's eyes lit up.
Xiao Chenglin's injuries this time were very serious; he almost lost his sight. He needs to take good care of his eyes during this period, which is why he needs professional care.
In addition to the nurses, Jiang Tian also brought a few other people with her.
Xiao Chenglin's position is too important; if anything were to happen to him, many problems would erupt.
In fact, news of his injury was kept secret.
Others only knew that he had returned in triumph, but they were unaware that he was actually in the hospital.
"When will he be able to see again?" Jiang Tian asked.
"Please rest assured, Madam. The warlord is very lucky and has not suffered any irreparable injuries. As long as he rests for a few days and takes his medicine properly, he will be able to see again soon."
The doctor gave an accurate answer.
Jiang Tian nodded.
At this critical juncture, she had to do it herself.
He has sacrificed so much for the country, so it's worth it for Jiang Tian to take care of him.
After losing his sight, Xiao Chenglin underwent a series of examinations, and not long after, he fell into a coma again.
He remained unconscious for three days before waking up.
When he woke up, he was still in a daze for a moment.
The scene of war seems to be right before my eyes.
"You're awake? Can you see me?"
Upon hearing the familiar woman's voice, Xiao Chenglin instinctively looked toward the source of the sound.
