Chapter 286 - 287: The person from two years ago is me
Two days later, Song Xiaodong brought Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan back to the country, and then helped with the funeral arrangements.
Miao Qingyuan was a prominent figure in Tiannan City, and now that he had passed away, leaving not even his remains, it inevitably caused many to sigh with regret.
Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru busied themselves with the arrangements, and at last, the funeral was completed.
"Sister! We’re orphans now!" Back at Song Xiaodong’s house, Miao Xuanxuan threw herself into Miao Qingqing’s arms and began to cry once more.
Miao Qingqing hugged Miao Xuanxuan, gently patting her back as she softly said, "It’s okay, you still have me. Dad is gone, but from now on, I’ll take care of you. I’ll protect you just like Dad did, and I absolutely won’t let anyone bully you again. What sister says, sister does!"
Miao Qingqing suddenly matured, despite being twins with Miao Xuanxuan. As the elder sister, she indeed took on the responsibility that her role demanded at that moment.
"Mm!" Miao Xuanxuan hugged Miao Qingqing tightly, feeling more attached to her than ever before, and closer to her than at any other time.
After a few days, Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan’s grief had somewhat subsided, but they would still occasionally space out. Their father’s death was not a sorrow that could be erased in just a day or two.
Even if Miao Qingqing’s heart was in pain, she had no choice but to go to work at the company. With Miao Qingyuan’s death, she had truly taken over his position. Before, she was only the general manager, but now she had to be the chairman. The entire company’s development was completely in her hands.
Moreover, immersing herself in frenetic work allowed Miao Qingqing a temporary escape from the pain of losing her father, and it also enabled her to fulfill his last wishes. She knew clearly that what her father most wanted was to make the company bigger and stronger.
Although Miao Xuanxuan’s sadness had lessened, she still couldn’t muster her spirits and would zone out now and then. Song Xiaodong tried her best to keep her company and talk to her. Naturally, there was no room for intimate acts at such a time; that would be too inhumane.
Over ten days passed in this way before Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan began to slowly emerge from their sorrow.
