Chapter 341: Chapter 341: No Need for Others to Figure It Out
When she reached the staircase, Song Song guessed what it was about. She turned slightly to look at Sister-in-law Zhou and asked as calmly as possible, "Is it about the cooperation project?"
Sister-in-law Zhou paused for a moment and said, "Young Madam, don’t be afraid. Although Mr. Xiao can indeed be quite fierce at times, the Young Master is here too! He will help you."
Song Song didn’t expect it was really because of that matter. This probably meant it wasn’t successful; otherwise, they wouldn’t have asked her to come downstairs.
Perhaps because she had mentally prepared herself beforehand, she wasn’t too anxious when she saw the few people sitting in the hall.
Xiao Zhongzhen immediately questioned her angrily, "Song Song, do you know what you did wrong?"
"...I know."
Song Song walked over, intending to sit next to Xiao Jinghuai, but there was no place for her there because Qiao Yu was already sitting there...
So she had to sit on a single sofa and said apologetically, "I accidentally spilled that dish, so Qiao Yu had to make it again. This matter is indeed my fault."
"If possible... I will try my best to make amends. Please be assured, Grandpa Xiao."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiuru, who had been sitting to the side as if detached from the situation, suddenly said nonchalantly, "Dad, it’s just a cooperation project. I believe Jinghuai has the capability to figure out another solution. Why get upset with a junior!"
After saying that, he glanced faintly at Xiao Jinghuai and said in an uncertain tone, "Jinghuai, am I right? You can’t blame your wife for this, can you? It’s just a dish; it’s no big deal."
Qiao Yu frowned, with a look in his eyes wanting to pierce Xiao Jiuru with ten thousand arrows.
Whose side is he really on?
Although she thought this in her heart, she still wore a smile of indifference and advised, "Yeah! Song Song didn’t do it on purpose; it was just an accident."
"This is also my fault. If I had been paying more attention to her, she wouldn’t have made a mistake."
Xiao Zhongzhen suddenly raised his hand and fixed his gaze on Xiao Jinghuai, "You handle this matter. After all, she’s your wife. If she makes a mistake, you are also responsible."
"You are husband and wife, and a couple should be united. Think about how to remedy the situation! I, the old man, don’t have much to say."
Song Song didn’t expect Mr. Xiao’s anger to subside so quickly. She instinctively looked towards Xiao Jinghuai, only to see that he was looking back at her...
In an instant, their eyes met, and his gaze was so deep that she couldn’t discern his thoughts or what he might say next.
Xiao Jinghuai’s eyes shifted slightly, "I know, I will find a way."
"...Grandpa Xiao, the failed cooperation project is my fault, and I will take responsibility for it. There’s no need for others to figure it out. I will have Mr. Di reconsider."
After speaking, Song Song realized how bold she had been, impulsively taking on such a significant responsibility.
First, she didn’t even know who Mr. Di was.
Second, she currently remembered nothing about cooking; she was just a beginner.
Third, this matter was important; it wasn’t a child’s play to be taken lightly.
At this moment, she saw that Xiao Jinghuai’s eyes were burning with anger, growing even fiercer. If she continued to sit here, she might metaphorically die in those flames...
Xiao Zhongzhen’s sharp eyes lingered between the young couple for a moment before saying, "Forget it, do as you like, but if it still doesn’t work out, Song Song, you will have to face the consequences accordingly."
Song Song was so scared she almost choked on her own saliva but still nodded bravely.
Qiao Yu originally thought he could make Mr. Xiao dislike Song Song this time, but unexpectedly, he gave her a second chance—
Suddenly, he felt a bit uneasy, gave a casual remark, and then got up to leave the hall and go upstairs.
Not long after, Xiao Jiuru also followed upstairs.
When only the two of them were left in the hall, Song Song didn’t know where to look and got up intending to leave...
But the man opposite suddenly said, "You stay right there!"
Frightened, she sat back down again.
