Chapter 689: Chapter 690: Hurt the Enemy 1000, Self Damage 800

"Qingqing, Xuanxuan, I know you must be upset, thinking that I used you. As a father, to use his own daughters in such a manner, I’m truly not a qualified or good father."

Miao Qingyuan looked at Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan, then let out a gentle sigh and said, "I admit, I was very selfish, and one could say that at that time, I was blinded by hatred. This hatred I had suppressed for too long, and it was getting more and more out of my control, so I resorted to any means necessary. I do hope you can forgive me for this, I just hope that you won’t hate me too much."

The corners of Miao Qingqing’s and Miao Xuanxuan’s mouths twitched, and they tried to express their stance, but they really didn’t know what to say.

Miao Qingyuan went on to say, "I don’t want to make any excuses for myself. Essentially, I indeed didn’t consider your feelings, and that is my fault!"

Seeing Miao Qingyuan’s sincere attitude, Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan felt a bit better. Miao Qingqing said, "Dad, there’s something I don’t understand, even if you wanted to use us, why didn’t you just use one of us? Why did you insist on using both of us?"

Miao Qingyuan said, "I felt that using just one person, I might not be able to achieve my goal. For example, if Xuanxuan really got together with Dongzi, and then you were arranged by the Su Family, the conflict might not have been as intense, it wouldn’t provoke Dongzi’s hatred, and there would be no strife with the Su Family. Therefore, to ensure success, I decided to involve both of you with Dongzi."

Miao Qingyuan was very straightforward. Miao Qingqing couldn’t help but sigh and said, "Aren’t you afraid that we might end up relying on the wrong person?"

Miao Qingyuan said, "I had been secretly observing Dongzi for a long time and knew that he was a capable man. Although he might seem to be a bit of a playboy, I could tell that he has a great sense of responsibility. With such a man, I am sure that he would never let you suffer."

Song Xiaodong’s mouth twitched as he said, "That doesn’t seem like a compliment to me."

Miao Qingyuan smiled slightly and said, "A strong man doesn’t necessarily have to love only one woman his whole life like me, which is quite hard to do. So being a playboy isn’t necessarily a bad thing; it’s also the transmission of excellent genes."

Miao Qingqing gave a wry smile and said, "Then your fake death was all for the sake of inciting this conflict to erupt."

"Exactly! If I were alive, you both would have had a hard time getting into the Su Family, nor would you have had any contact with them. Without me, where would the conflict come from? That’s why I had to do it."

Miao Xuanxuan pouted and said, "Dad, if you have such an impressive hypnotism Ability, how come we didn’t know about it at all?"

Miao Qingyuan said, "This hypnotism is something I’ve had since childhood, because it’s a bit peculiar, I didn’t dare to show it off, afraid of being taken away to be studied. Sadly, none of you inherited it, heh... Do you have anything else that’s unclear?"

Miao Qingqing gave a bitter smile and said, "No, the rest I can understand in sequence. So about you and mom..."

Miao Qingyuan let out a soft sigh and said, "Your grandfather was angered to death by me. Your mother wants to stay here to mourn. I’ll take her away in a few days."

"Won’t mom hate you?" Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan had no emotional ties to the Su Family, but their mother was a genuine member of the Su Family, Old Master Su’s daughter, and that made things different.

Miao Qingyuan shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "I don’t know. I don’t know what she is thinking. After so many years not being together, I feel there’s a sense of estrangement between us. Sigh... Your grandfather died because of me. I really don’t know now whether she would agree to be with me again, so right now I also don’t know whether what I did was right or wrong."

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan both were taken aback, this issue, was one they had truly not considered.

Putting themselves in her shoes, between a father and a husband, it is undoubtedly the most difficult choice for a woman, especially when the husband is the reason for the father’s death.

"Hehe, let’s not think about this for now, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. If I can be with her, that would be great. If she can’t untie this knot in her heart, then that just means we only had a connection for a few years..."

When Miao Qingyuan said this, his spirits suddenly sagged. He stood up, patted Song Xiaodong on the shoulder and said, "Dongzi, take good care of them. Never let hatred cloud your mind, because it will make you forget the people you truly love, overlook the happiness right beside you, and only bring them more sadness."

Song Xiaodong nodded vigorously and said earnestly, "Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Miao. I’ll definitely be mindful of it."

"Mm, you are more level-headed and decisive than me, and most importantly, you have the ability. I trust you. I won’t bother you all any longer." Having said this, Miao Qingyuan promptly walked out of the room, his figure seemed somewhat hunched.

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan called out in unison, "Dad!"

"Live well with Dongzi. Girls shouldn’t be too proud, learn to be accommodating, learn to be tolerant, and your lives will be happy." Miao Qingyuan finished speaking, then walked out and closed the door behind him.

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan didn’t chase after him; they knew that their father had also suffered a lot this time and needed to consider things quietly by himself, not comfort from his daughters.

"Alas, it’s like inflicting a thousand cuts on the enemy and suffering eight hundred in return." Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but sigh.

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan both leaned weakly into Song Xiaodong’s embrace.

With his arms around their waists, Song Xiaodong said softly, "Qingqing, Xuanxuan, don’t worry, I will always be by your side."

"Mm!" Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan both nodded emphatically, hugging Song Xiaodong’s waist tightly.

Seeing that they were both in low spirits, Song Xiaodong obviously wouldn’t continue with what they were doing before, like some beast, and suggested, "Let’s go out for a walk."

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan both nodded.

The three of them went downstairs and casually strolled around the hotel’s front and back yards, with Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan both clinging to Song Xiaodong’s arm, not caring about the gazes of others. Song Xiaodong said, "The past is over; whether right or wrong, there’s no point in dwelling on it anymore. We have to open our hearts and welcome a new life."

Miao Qingqing sighed lightly, "Yes, the past is gone, and there’s no use in obsessing over it. I just hope that my dad and mom can still come together."

Miao Xuanxuan also sighed, "Yeah, my dad has suffered, my mom has suffered. If they keep suffering like this, I really wouldn’t know what to say."

After walking a while longer, Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan’s moods gradually improved. Miao Xuanxuan turned her head to look at Song Xiaodong and said, "Dongzi, sis, I want to go back. I want to bang with Xiaodong."

Miao Qingqing’s face turned red, she spat out, "Can’t you say it more subtly?"

"I just want to!" Miao Xuanxuan retorted with a firm pout.

"Alright!" Miao Qingqing agreed promptly, her face still flushed.
