Chapter 1480 Two Families Meet, Caught in a Dilemma
Chapter 1480 Two Families Meet, Caught in a Dilemma
The next day, after Xixi was discharged from the hospital.
When Song Chenggong returned home, he told Leng Suhua that he had already spoken with Old Master Li.
"What?!" Leng Suhua wanted to kick him. "How could you make decisions behind our backs?"
“I can’t very well let you and Qingyi go to the Li family to confess first. As the head of the family, I naturally have to go there first to give Old Master Li some peace of mind.”
Song Qingyi walked over. "What did the old man say?"
Song Chenggong said, "From what I heard from the old man, he agrees to your marriage."
Leng Suhua was overjoyed, "That's wonderful!"
Song Qingyi couldn't laugh.
Did Old Master Li agree to his marriage with Li Qinghe?
Leng Suhua said, "There's nothing to think about. We elders always think from the children's perspective. Xixi likes you so much, and Qinghe likes you too. It would be wonderful if you two got married."
Song Qingyi said, "Qinghe's affection for me is the kind of affection she has for an older brother."
Leng Suhua said bluntly, "Qinghe is just shy! When I was her age, I liked your dad, but I was too embarrassed to say it either."
As soon as he finished speaking, both Song Chenggong and Song Qingyi fell silent.
Leng Suhua regretted what she had just said, being so outspoken.
Song Chenggong coughed first, "Alright, enough of the old stories. What are you talking about with the child?"
Song Qingyi was confused. "What are you two doing now? Don't you have no feelings for each other anymore?"
"Who told you that I don't have feelings for your mother?"
"So you two didn't have any feelings for each other, that's why you got divorced?"
"That was an excuse we made up!" Leng Suhua reacted agitatedly.
“In our time, nobody said they would get divorced because they couldn’t get along. Everyone said they couldn’t live together without feelings, that’s why they got divorced! Your dad was always nagging and old-fashioned. You know my personality, I’m straightforward. I was thinking of going to the south to develop my career, but your dad wouldn’t let me go. We argued a lot and got divorced!”
Song Qingyi was speechless for a moment.
Is this the truth?
Leng Suhua said, "I don't regret the divorce at all. Over the years, your mother has started her own firm and is living a very carefree life."
Song Chenggong didn't want to talk about this anymore and changed the subject, "You can't not marry Qinghe because of this. If you don't take responsibility for her, that would really be wrong of you."
Song Qingyi snapped out of her daze. "Oh, so in your eyes, only marriage is considered responsible?"
"if not?"
Song Chenggong and Leng Suhua seemed to be of one mind, both staring intently at Song Qingyi.
Their eyes seemed to say, "Shouldn't we get married? Besides, how do you plan to take responsibility?"
Song Qingyi choked...
"You two said you were incompatible, but I think you two get along quite well on this issue."
"Hey, don't bring up me and your dad. This is about you and Qinghe! You need to get married soon, Xixi is already over three years old."
“Your mother is right. Otherwise, if word gets out, it will only cause more trouble.”
Song Chenggong was also worried about the impact on his family's reputation.
"Let's get married right now."
In this respect, Song Chenggong and Leng Suhua were in complete agreement.
They'll just say that Song Qingyi and Li Qinghe have been dating for a while and that they already have a child who's being raised in another city.
Song Qingyi remained silent.
Leng Suhua comforted him, "Son, I know your troubles! Your father and I didn't have feelings for each other at first, but we gradually developed feelings after we got married. You don't need to worry about that. You sleep in the same bed every day, and naturally you'll have everything you need."
Song Qingyi: "..."
At last.
After a discussion.
Song Qingyi still agreed to go to the Li family.
He went to apologize and admit his mistake. Since Song Chenggong had already gone, he couldn't just cower in fear.
It's set for this Saturday.
The two families agreed to have a good talk. Li Qinghe brought Lu Chunlian back. Lu Chunlian was surprised to learn that Xixi's biological father had been found and that he was a friend of Li Jingchen.
Li Qinghe didn't dare tell Lu Chunlian that Xixi had been in a car accident; she only said that by a twist of fate, they both remembered.
On Saturday, Li Qinghe took Lu Chunlian back home.
Xi Xi didn't go with them, afraid that her grandfather would find out she had been in a car accident. So they left her with Fu Jiang Rose. Jiang Tong was taking care of Li Xi Xi. Xi Xi still had a scar on her head from surgery, and it needed time to heal.
Li Dongzan didn't come; he was taking care of Ning Jian'an.
Ning Jian'an was just discharged from the hospital. Fortunately, she was fine. After resting for a few days following the miscarriage, the baby in her belly is doing well.
Li Qinghe was hoping Li Dongzan wouldn't come, lest Ning Jian'an stay and cause her more trouble.
Thus, the only members of the Li family present were her, her parents, her grandfather, and her older brother, Li Jingchen.
Song Qingyi and his parents also came.
Since Song Chenggong had already apologized, Song Qingyi didn't need to explain the whole story anymore. He just kept apologizing, saying it was all his fault!
"Grandpa, Uncle, there's ten million in this card. It's my way of apologizing..."
Old Master Li refused, saying, "Oh, Qingyi, I know you didn't do it on purpose. You were tricked and drugged."
What? He was drugged?
Song Qingyi turned around and secretly stared at Song Chenggong.
Song Chenggong was very serious and glared at him. Song Qingyi then looked at Leng Suhua and saw his mother cough twice. He immediately understood.
It turns out his mother had already made up a story about him. His father thought he had been drugged. No wonder his father didn't beat him up.
Grandpa Li said, "You two should live a good life with Xixi. This money is for the three of you to spend."
Li Wenhong also spoke up, "Qingyi, it is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Whether your marriage to Qinghe was right or wrong, there is no need to pursue the matter further."
Leng Suhua agreed, "My dear in-law, that's exactly right. There's no point in going into so much detail. It's fate that brought us together. We already have a child, so let's focus on the present and the future."
Lu Chunlian also spoke up, "We're also considering that Xixi is still young. If the two children are willing, then we, as elders, certainly have no objections."
Lu Chunlian also hopes that Li Qinghe will have a happy family.
Otherwise, with a child, she wouldn't have any competitive advantage in the dating market. The people outside aren't as good as the one she knows right now. At least this young man is said to be Jingchen's friend and Jiang Tong's classmate. His parents also seem to be good people with good manners.
Leng Suhua breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Qinghe's parents were so easy to talk to. That was great.
"In-laws, that's wonderful! Let's talk about the wedding arrangements for the two children. Don't worry, we'll make sure there are all the proper procedures and all the necessary gifts."
The elders were discussing the wedding arrangements with great enthusiasm.
Song Qingyi, standing to the side, didn't know what to say.
Now, he's in a bind...
