After a while, the old master came, and behind him were several juniors in their forties and fifties, all of them very noble.
The old master walked in step by step, leaning on a cane.
"Hello everyone, I'm here to see Xiao Xin'er."
Everyone hurriedly moved away, leaving a path for the old man.
The old master looked at the unconscious Xue Xin distressedly and asked: "What did the doctor say?"
Xue Ling replied: "It's a slight concussion. It doesn't matter. I'll be fine after just two days of rest."
The old master sighed softly when he heard this, his voice was majestic but not without warmth.
"Xiao Xin'er is my good student, and I watched her grow up.
In my heart, she is just like my other grandchildren.
This time Siyuan caused her injury, and I felt very guilty.
I'm sorry, it was our lax tutoring that caused trouble for Xiaoxin and your driver, we are deeply sorry."
Xue Ling smiled slightly and said: "The child is young and energetic, so it is inevitable that he will be a little impulsive when doing things.
Don't feel bad, old man. Fortunately, it didn't cause a big disaster. Big things have been turned into nothing, and small things have been turned into nothing."
The old master gently stroked Xiaoxin's hair and then said warmly: "Let the child rest, we won't disturb him anymore."
Xue Ling and Zheng Duoduo sent them out of the ward.
At this moment, an aristocratic woman in her fifties came over.
"Mrs. Cheng, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
"The third child!"
The old master turned away his face, glared at the noble woman coldly, and said solemnly: "Siyuan did something wrong, and we can only apologize.
What else do you want to say?"
The noble woman's eyes turned slightly red, and she swallowed: "Dad, you...can't you see that Siyuan is infatuated and has a deep love for Xiaoxin, so you can spare him this time?"
Maybe...maybe he and Xiaoxin might figure it out."
The old master's eyes were cold and he said: "He made a mistake and must accept punishment.
This time Mrs. Cheng is willing to keep things private and not hold him accountable, which is an open policy and gives us great face.
What else do you want to do?
If you are greedy, the snake swallows the elephant!"
"No!"
The noble woman shook her head: "Siyuan was too impulsive this time and made a huge mistake, but he has already regretted it.
Dad, I just feel sorry for Siyuan’s child and see if there is any hope for them.”
Xue Ling and Zheng Duoduo looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces and had no choice but to pretend they didn't hear anything.
The noble woman took Xue Ling's hand and introduced herself: "Hello, Mrs. Cheng.
I am Siyuan’s mother, I am the third eldest child in our family, and people outside call me ‘Sister Qi’.”
"Hello."
Xue Ling shook hands with her and smiled slightly: "I have heard about this famous name for a long time, but seeing it once is better than hearing it a hundred times.
I never expected that it would be in such an embarrassing situation...it's a bit of a pity, but I'm still honored."
Third Sister Qi sighed softly and then smiled.
"Mrs. Cheng, although you and I have not had the chance to meet, we are quite familiar with your cousin Xue Cong.
The Xue family is an old aristocrat in the imperial capital. However, they are in different industries and have less opportunities to interact with each other. However, your name is also resounding in the business circles of the imperial capital.
This meeting is indeed very abrupt, but I still hope you can listen to me."
Xue Ling nodded: "You say."
Third Sister Qi looked into the ward and said warmly: "Actually, many people in our family have known Xiaoxin since she was a little girl.
Xiaoxin is a child who is smart and well-organized. Not only is my father very popular, he made an exception to accept her as his student, but she is also very popular with all our brothers and sisters.
In the past, Siyuan often went to the old house to accompany my father, so he and Xiaoxin were very familiar with each other. It would not be an exaggeration to call them "childhood sweethearts".
Later, as the child grew up year by year, he began to fall in love unconsciously and fell in love with Xiaoxin, a little childhood sweetheart.
Unfortunately... Xiaoxin already has a boyfriend, which made him quietly sad for a long time."
Xue Ling smiled and whispered: "Although Xiaoxin is a bit weak and has no ideas, in terms of emotions, she is so precocious that we are surprised.
She chooses the person herself, and we, as parents, are the last to know.
We parents are quite open-minded, so if she wants to fall in love, let her do whatever she wants."
"Is the other party really as determined as Xiaoxin?"
Third Sister Qi couldn't help frowning and lowered her voice: "To be honest, my family are all people who believe in death. Once they are determined, they may not be able to untie it for the rest of their lives.
Xiaoxin is still young and ignorant at that age. Is it possible that Cheng Cheng has really decided on the other person?
Is there any hope for her and Siyuan?
The child was so pessimistic and sad that he impulsively did something like this today."
Xue Ling was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer this question.
Chen Xinzhi and Xiaoxin have not been in love for a long time, but their relationship is indeed very good, and it is not the ordinary good kind.
But there are no absolutes in the world, so how could she be sure?
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "Sister Qi, your words... really put me in a difficult position.
Xiaoxin is indeed still young, and she is not yet at the age where she can truly fall in love. Things in the world are unpredictable, and the future is full of uncertainty, and no one can say for sure.
I don't have much ability, and I'm not strict enough in disciplining my children, so I give them a high degree of freedom.
Xiaoxin's boyfriend was her own choice, and we as parents will not interfere or stop it, we will let it develop and let nature take its course."
Everyone in the Qi family is a human spirit, and Third Sister Qi is no exception.
At first glance, she guessed Xue Ling's attitude.
This is her daughter's business. As a mother, it's not easy for her to answer it, and it's not easy for her to answer it for her daughter.
Third Sister Qi sighed softly, turned her face away and looked at the old master in embarrassment.
"My dad...he has always loved Xiaoxin very much.
When he heard that Xiaoxin was injured, he was so angry that he punished Siyuan severely and even sent Siyuan abroad to a training center.
That child's body has never been strong, how could he withstand the harsh training!"
Xue Ling understood it and had no choice but to give face to the other party.
So, she walked forward and bowed slightly to the old master.
"Master, in the final analysis, this matter was just caused by the emotions of two ignorant little brats.
Young people are easy to be impulsive and do things to extremes.
As elders, we can only treat it as a minor problem and should not make it serious, otherwise it may be counterproductive.
If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. Give young people more opportunities to correct them and grow up slowly. They should not deal with them in a drastic way.
Master, Xiaoxin is a very soft-hearted and kind-hearted child. If you punish your grandson severely, Xiaoxin will definitely feel guilty.
You always love her, why not sell her some thin noodles and don't make it too difficult for her."
The old master's eyes were deep, he glared at his daughter coldly, and then gave Xue Ling an apologetic smile.
"Mrs. Cheng, I made you laugh.
My daughter is good at everything, the only shortcoming is that she dotes on Siyuan too much.
Ignore her, I have my own arrangements."
After saying this, he walked away on crutches.
Third Sister Qi frowned in embarrassment, said "I'm sorry" in a low voice, and hurried after her old father.
