Chapter 971 - 972 Hidden
Hearing Song Xiaodong’s voice, not just Xiao Yingying, but everyone in the family couldn’t help but burst into tears, pouring out all the worry and anxiety they had been suppressing over these past few days through the phone.
Li Sijie, Shui Qingyue, Lin Su’er, Song Xiaoru, Xiao Yingying, and even Sun Ziyun—all of them took turns expressing their emotions from these days.
At this moment, Song Xiaodong was equally emotional. Being together with them, it had always felt ordinary, as if nothing was particularly noteworthy. But now, he truly understood the meaning of being loved by someone.
That meaning lay in the genuine sense of worry and fear that emerged when something happened, the intense hope and anticipation, and the overwhelming joy upon knowing the other person was safe and sound.
The conversation went on for more than an hour before everyone’s emotions gradually calmed down.
"By the way, how are things at home now?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"The Su Family is fine, and so is the Sun family; there hasn’t been much change. But the other families do seem somewhat restless. They’ve all been in a state of observation, probably waiting for news to confirm if you’re really... and only then deciding what actions to take," someone replied.
Song Xiaodong said, "Then there’s no rush to announce my return. Previously, since I was there, many issues had been suppressed and didn’t come to the surface. This is a good opportunity to let those problems reveal themselves and resolve them all at once."
Song Xiaoru said, "But won’t that be difficult? After all, the news that your plane crashed has attracted immense media attention. Soon a swarm of reporters will be rushing to your ship. When that happens, the fact that you’re alive will certainly become public knowledge immediately."
Song Xiaodong replied, "I’ll handle this matter. I’ll make sure the news of my return won’t be leaked to the media."
