Chapter 434 - 435: A Father’s Love is Like a Mountain
Miao Xuanxuan, Song Xiaoru, along with Xiao Yingying were all somewhat baffled, their gazes turned toward Song Xiaodong, who could only give a dry laugh and said, "Please, take a seat."
Everyone sat down, and Xiao Haiqing didn’t beat around the bush, saying directly, "Qingqing, Yingying has been quite a disturbance here recently, and I know it has caused you a great deal of trouble. Here, as Yingying’s father, I am deeply sorry."
Miao Qingqing smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Xiao, you are being too polite. Yingying is quite well-behaved, and additionally, she is not in good health; it’s only right that Dongzi takes care of her here."
Xiao Haiqing gave a slight smile and said, "Then I won’t beat around the bush. Previously, I indeed had high hopes. But now, I’ve come to terms with it. As long as Yingying is happy, whatever she wants to do, I’ll support her. She likes Dongzi, and I really would like her to be with Dongzi. But the relationship between you and Dongzi, and Yingying coming between that, is also not possible, so..."
Everyone was looking at Xiao Haiqing; even Xiao Yingying herself was somewhat nervous. Thankfully, Song Xiaodong held her hand, calming her nervous heart and preventing her heart from getting further stimulated.
"So, if you and Dongzi are together in the future, I will sincerely bless you. I only hope that you can provide Yingying a place in this family in the future. Considering her poor health, be a bit more tolerant toward her. I, Xiao Haiqing, would be immensely grateful."
As he spoke, Xiao Haiqing stood up, unexpectedly intending to give Miao Qingqing a deep bow.
"That won’t do! That won’t do!" Miao Qingqing quickly stopped Xiao Haiqing, saying urgently, "Uncle Xiao, you really shouldn’t do this; I absolutely cannot accept such a grand gesture from you."
Xiao Haiqing said, "Because this is an unreasonable request, it’s truly imposing on you. I know this is extremely difficult for you; if it were me, I wouldn’t agree either."
"Uncle Xiao, ah, please don’t press me," Miao Qingqing gave a bitter smile and said, "Alright, I agree to this. I definitely won’t mistreat Yingying in the future; we’ll be like good sisters."
