Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Divorce Not Agreed
Song Xueqin’s expression instantly froze on her face. She folded her arms and stepped aside, opening the doorway, "Then come in!"
"I just knew that kid named Xiao wouldn’t agree easily and that there would be more to follow... Didn’t expect I’d be right, haha!"
Xing Quan was actually quite nervous because this time he was facing not an ordinary person, but the mother-in-law of his President Xiao!
He thought he truly was a 24-filial assistant who must handle everything and deserves a fifty percent raise this year for his contributions.
Although Song Xueqin wasn’t happy, she still made a cup of hot tea for Xing Quan and let him sit down to talk.
Even so, Xing Quan was still extremely nervous, with his back slowly turning cold...
All these years, following President Xiao, he’d seen many storms, but it’s really the first time he’s encountered such a tricky situation. Pressing too hard is not good, but not showing enough momentum won’t achieve the desired effect—
It’s really hard, extremely hard for him.
Song Xueqin’s eyes shone with a sharp light, her posture elegant, her delicate face carrying a bit of coldness, "Assistant Xing, just say what you have to say!"
Xing Quan’s body stiffened slightly. He tried his best to keep his voice steady and began, "President Xiao said Ms. Song can make any request, and he will try his best to satisfy it—"
"But regarding the matter of divorce, he will not agree."
"..."
Song Xueqin didn’t show much surprise, "Oh, is that so! But as Song Song’s mother, shouldn’t I have the right to choose a son-in-law?"
"If your President Xiao were truly sincere, he wouldn’t have sent you here today, but come himself. Assistant Xing, don’t you think?"
Xing Quan smiled lightly, "Ms. Song, please don’t doubt President Xiao’s sincerity. It’s just that he was afraid seeing him would exacerbate the conflict, so he sent me first to see where you stand. You can make any request, and he will try to fulfill it—"
"Assistant Xing, you better go back. My request is something your President Xiao will never be able to meet, so let’s not waste each other’s time here. I still have to take Song Song to the Civil Affairs Bureau, you can take back the message that unless he comes... we won’t leave."
After saying that, Song Xueqin got up to knock on the small room’s door—
Actually, Huo Huohuo was already awake, listening at the door. When she heard the knocking, she immediately scampered back to bed, grabbed a bear pillow, and pretended she hadn’t woken up yet.
In this situation, keeping a low profile is the right move.
Song Xueqin knocked on the door for a long time without any answer, feeling something was wrong, she directly turned the door handle, walked to the bed, and only saw Huo Huohuo sleeping soundly—
Her anger flared, and she pulled the quilt off with one hand and asked, "Where is Song Song?"
Huo Huohuo was actually scared to death, but she still climbed out of bed with first-rate acting skills, looking innocent and clueless, "...Mom, what time is it? Why are you up so early?"
"Are you coming to call us for breakfast?"
"..."
Song Xueqin pointed at the bed with one hand, "Huohuo, I’m asking you, where is Song Song?"
"Se-Second Sister! She was just beside me—"
"Huh! Where is she? Where did she go? Maybe in the bathroom?"
"..."
Song Xueqin squinted her eyes. She’s not stupid; if she really were in the bathroom, she’d have come out at the sound of her voice.
The only reason she could think of was... she ran away last night.
Huo Huohuo was very guilty, extremely guilty, but still tried hard to act like she knew nothing—
Song Xueqin folded her arms, walked out of the room angrily, but was surprised to see Xing Quan still sitting there, making her even more displeased, "Aren’t you leaving? Do you want me to chase you out with a broom?"
Xing Quan awkwardly smiled and said, "Ms. Song, President Xiao also asked me to tell you that since the Madam is his wife, they should live together, so he took the Madam away last night..."
"If Ms. Song misses the Madam, you can contact President Xiao, he will let you—"
"Ahhh!!"
Song Xueqin suddenly screamed, scaring Xing Quan into immediately shutting his mouth, standing there not daring to move.
"Ms. Song, please calm down—"
Calm was the least thing on Song Xueqin’s mind right now, she suddenly said loudly:
"Huohuo, call your dad, tell him I want to see him now, immediately, right away!"
