Chapter 362: Chapter 363 Xiao Haiqing’s Proposal

"President Xiao, you don’t have to worry, with Dongzi around, Yingying should be fine."

In the living room of Song Xiaodong’s family home, Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru were sitting with Xiao Haiqing, comforting him.

Xiao Haiqing nodded and said, "I believe Dongzi has the ability; this time we really owe him. If it weren’t for him, my daughter would have..."

Song Xiaoru hurriedly interjected, "The person has been rescued, and Dongzi just happened to be there at the right time."

Xiao Haiqing took a deep breath and then turned to Song Xiaoru, saying, "You are Dongzi’s sister, and I want to talk to you about something. It’s a bit abrupt."

"Please speak, President Xiao!" Song Xiaoru quickly replied politely. In the past, speaking to a president like Xiao Haiqing, she would not even dare to breathe loudly, but after practicing with Miao Qingqing for some time, she had learned to hold her head high without arrogance or subservience, displaying quite the air of confidence.

Xiao Haiqing said, "Here’s the thing, Dongzi saved Yingying’s life, he is her lifesaver. I only have one daughter, and I fear her heart disease may recur. Only if she’s with Dongzi can I feel at ease. Moreover, Yingying is very fond of, and quite attached to Dongzi. So I was thinking, why not let the two of them be together, and in the future, Dongzi could manage my company, ensuring a successor. What do you think?"

Song Xiaoru was suddenly speechless, utterly unprepared for Xiao Haiqing’s marriage proposal at this time, and inadvertently looked towards Miao Qingqing for a reaction.

Miao Qingqing also frowned slightly and took over the conversation, saying, "President Xiao, we understand your feelings, but I’m afraid this matter is really difficult to agree to."

"Oh? Why? Why would President Miao say that?" Xiao Haiqing turned to Miao Qingqing.

Miao Qingqing smiled faintly and said, "President Xiao, as you can see, I am currently living at Dongzi’s house. You should be able to guess the relationship between me and Dongzi."

"Oh?" Xiao Haiqing looked at Song Xiaoru.

Song Xiaoru smiled slightly and said, "I’m sorry, President Xiao, but Dongzi is indeed in a relationship with Qingqing at the moment."

Xiao Haiqing’s expression became somewhat embarrassed, but he quickly said, "Since even President Miao values Dongzi so highly, it further proves Dongzi’s excellence, and all the more reason for Yingying to give it a try. Obviously, you are not married yet, so my daughter still has a chance. I don’t mind letting Yingying compete with President Miao."

Miao Qingqing, still with a smile on her face, said, "I am proud of Dongzi for being so valued by President Xiao, but matters of the heart cannot be forced. Yingying is a very good girl, which I acknowledge, but I would rather not see her get hurt, so I would advise President Xiao not to do this. With your capabilities, finding an excellent son-in-law for your daughter certainly wouldn’t be difficult."

"What, is President Miao afraid she can’t compete with my daughter?" Xiao Haiqing leaned back on the sofa, narrowing his eyes, appearing quite at ease.

Chen Jun was somewhat bewildered on the side. Xiao Yingying was upstairs, still unaware of the situation, and now Xiao Haiqing was arranging marriage for his daughter, directly challenging Miao Qingqing. Wasn’t this boldness a bit too great?

Song Xiaoru was equally dumbfounded, but inside, she felt a strong sense of pride. In the past, she had only hoped that Song Xiaodong would marry someone like Lin Su’er, but now two major company presidents were vying for Song Xiaodong. How could she, as his sister, not feel proud?

Miao Qingqing, still composed, smiled and said, "President Xiao, I’m just considering your daughter’s interests. With your status, if it gets out that your daughter is Dongzi’s mistress, it wouldn’t reflect well on you within our circles."

Xiao Haiqing still spoke calmly, "If you and Dongzi were married, then indeed there would be no issue in saying that. But for now, you are at most Dongzi’s girlfriend, right? How then can there be talk of a mistress?"

Miao Qingqing, annoyed inwardly, but with her smile unchanged, responded, "President Xiao, you are mistaken again. Dongzi and I are married; we just haven’t announced it publicly."

"You’re married?" Xiao Haiqing sat up straight on the couch, looking intently at Miao Qingqing. "That joke is in poor taste. If you really married Dongzi, you would have no reason to hide it."

Miao Qingqing tilted her chin up slightly and said, "We hid it because we got married abroad. At the time, we were afraid my father wouldn’t agree, so we kept it quiet. Now that my father is gone, Dongzi’s and my marriage can naturally be made public."

Xiao Haiqing stared at Miao Qingqing, making her feel somewhat uneasy inside, but she stood her ground and met Xiao Haiqing’s gaze, unyielding at that moment.

"Let’s not discuss the validity of your marriage to Dongzi abroad for now. From the fact that you’ve kept it hidden, it indicates one thing: unless... you look down on Dongzi, why else hide it? Since you look down on him, why keep on dangling him? My daughter, on the other hand, is willing to be with Dongzi, and I fully support it."

Miao Qingqing felt somewhat on the back foot by Xiao Haiqing’s logic. If it were a business negotiation, she might not concede to Xiao Haiqing, but in matters of romance, Miao Qingqing was indeed less experienced.

At this, Song Xiaoru interjected, "President Xiao, this is a matter for Dongzi and them to decide for themselves. You are Yingying’s father, and I am Dongzi’s sister, but we cannot choose who they are with."

Xiao Haiqing immediately smiled at Song Xiaoru and said, "That’s right, one can never predict matters of the heart. Who Dongzi ends up with is for them to decide. I just want to make my stance clear: if Dongzi does end up with Yingying, Xiao Corporation will be his. As soon as they marry, I can sign the share transfer agreement and give them all of my estate."

Miao Qingqing gave a light smile and said, "President Xiao, Dongzi doesn’t lack money, nor does he care for it. And if it really comes down to money, I am not poorer than you; what’s mine is naturally Dongzi’s as well."

Xiao Haiqing laughed, "It’s different with you, you have a sister. You only have half of the family estate, while I have only one daughter, and in the future, it will all be hers."

Miao Qingqing’s face darkened suddenly, as Xiao Haiqing had hit the nail on the head.

"So what? I’ll give all of mine to my sister, and I won’t take a penny. Wouldn’t that make my sister no less impressive than you?"

The voice of Miao Xuanxuan suddenly rang out. When the conversation reached this topic, no one noticed when Miao Xuanxuan had come in. Now Miao Xuanxuan stood with a stern little face, her words resounding with firm decision and conviction.
