Father Xiao felt that his mind was blank for a moment.
The color of the sky gradually receded, everything around him became silent, and he could vaguely see figures moving in front of him.
Someone was shouting something with his mouth wide open. Black clothes, white ambulance red blood was overwhelming, but he couldn't distinguish the colors, but several voices of people communicating gradually sounded in his mind.
"... Oh? What a cute little girl. Is she your child?"
"It is true that I brought her, but she is not my child. Mr. Xiao, she is my brother's child. She had a hard life since she was a child. Her parents have passed away... Alas, there are no relatives who want her. I can't stand it, so I took her next to me and raised her.”
"Can't you see that you are so kind?"
"Sir, you are really joking. How can this be called kindness? Isn't this the basic conscience of being a human being? Since she is my niece, she is my responsibility. I don't expect anyone to fall in love with me. If I marry someone, What if they don't let me raise her? As long as I have something to eat, I will raise my niece, and it's good for the two of us to depend on each other."
"Actually, not everyone may mind having a stepmother with a child. After all, you are not biological children."
"Sir...? What do you mean..."
"I am a widower with only one son in my family. Do you want to consider becoming my step-in-law?"
"Ah, you are the head of the Xiao family, but I am just an ordinary person. How can I marry you? Mr. Xiao, please stop joking. I am really, really..."
"The Xiao family no longer needs a well-matched marriage. You have taken care of Ling Chen and are familiar with him when you marry, so why not?"
"But, but, I still have to take care of Qingwan..."
"Then bring her here, and I will make everyone treat her as the daughter of the Xiao family. After all, you are not biological mother and daughter, so it doesn't matter."
"Yes, yes, we are not mother and daughter..."
"Ling Chen is my only heir. I will not have any more children. But since you have never thought about getting married, isn't it good not to have children? And there is nothing wrong with me having one more daughter."
"Mr. Xiao..."
The female voice was a little hesitant at first, but soon she seemed to be trying to understand something, and gradually became shy.
He heard himself laughing, the "Wedding March" was echoing in the church, and someone shyly put on a ring and promised:
"I will never lie to my husband, I will never deceive my husband... I will not have any more children, and I will take care of Ling Chen as my own child... "
Never hide anything.
Never cheat.
Father Xiao listened to the voice echoing in the memory in his mind, his eyes full of confusion. The incident happened suddenly, but he still relied on his strong self-control to let the blankness caused by the shock gradually recede, and his consciousness gradually recovered.
Xiao Qingwan was still crying: "... I'm serious, I don't believe you are testing DNA! I will die of ischemia, right? I don't want to die, I don't want to die! Mom—"
Then the sound was cut off by a hard slap. Mrs. Xiao's face turned livid and she cursed angrily: "Are you out of your mind? You won't die at all. Why are you panicking! How much I love you, you still don't know." ?"
She then wiped away her tears and explained: "Well, we have always been dependent on each other. We are no different from mother and daughter. You call me mom in private. How could I ignore you? Qingwan, calm down, let's go to the hospital... "
Father Xiao suddenly laughed.
