I Bacame the Mother of His Child-Chapter 51 - 50: The Best Song Xiaoying

Song Xiaoying believed that her only solution was to kneel and apologize to Political Commissioner Zhao. She trusted that once she knelt, Political Commissioner Zhao would feel embarrassed to pursue the responsibility of her family’s Erya. After all, they were all military personnel, and military personnel were known to be tolerant and magnanimous.

Clearly, Song Xiaoying’s sudden act of kneeling baffled everyone present. Zhao Jian Country furrowed his brows and took a couple of steps back, then regained his composure and approached to help Song Xiaoying up from the ground, "The situation hasn’t been clarified yet, little sister, don’t do this. Let’s talk about it standing up." Zhao Jian Country and Song Yuanhuan had a field sealing exercise today and only hurried over after it ended. On the way, he also roughly understood some of the situation, knowing that it was a matter of children’s play that led to this.

He felt helpless about it, and knowing that his son, Zhao Nan, would likely have scars on his face in the future, as a father, he was sad and blamed himself. However, at this moment, having Song Xiaoying directly kneeling in front of him also gave him a headache.

As a man, he truly could not bring himself to lash out at a timid woman and children.

"Is Deputy Company Commander Wang Hongfei not here?" Zhao Jian Country felt that such matters were best resolved between men who were heads of their households, thus he darkly interrogated Song Xiaoying with a frown.

"He hasn’t arrived yet." Upon hearing this, Song Xiaoying tearfully replied, appearing even more miserable than Zhao Jian Country, a father of an injured child, "Political Commissioner Zhao, I beg you, vent all your anger and dissatisfaction on me, please spare my husband and Erya, can you?"

Song Xiaoying clutched tightly at Zhao Jian Country’s arm, already beginning to kneel again as she finished speaking.

"Little sister, please stand up first," Zhao Jian Country, with a headache, caught Song Xiaoying as she bent down.

As a military man, he inherently was at a loss with women. His wife had passed away several years ago and he had not considered remarrying, partly because he didn’t understand how to handle relationships with women. Moreover, he strongly disagreed with what Song Xiaoying was saying, what did she mean by "can you spare my husband and Erya"? The full extent of the incident hadn’t been clarified yet. He was not someone who could do whatever he wanted. What did these words imply?

"Political Commissioner Zhao, I beg you, Erya didn’t hurt Zhao Nan on purpose. Can you please not pursue her responsibility? If it makes you feel better, you can even slash my face to vent your anger!" Song Xiaoying desperately wanted a verdict from Zhao Jian Country that would not involve pursuing the matter, and her words were somewhat crazy.

Xu Xiuxiu tightly frowned upon seeing this.

Truth be told, she originally had a good impression of Song Xiaoying, and she didn’t dislike the little girl, Erya, a straightforward military child with a clean and unblemished character. But after understanding more throughout the day, Song Xiaoying’s actions greatly changed her view. This woman was truly exasperating, and her behavior was forcing Zhao Jian Country to accept an unreasonable loss. What was the meaning of slashing a face to vent anger? Surely Zhao Jian Country couldn’t actually slash her face, he was, after all, a military man.

"Deputy Company Commander’s wife, please calm down and let go of Political Commissioner Zhao first. We’ll handle the children’s matter later. Let Political Commissioner Zhao see Zhao Nan first!" Xu Xiuxiu stepped forward, handed Song Chengguang, who she was holding, to Song Yuanhuan, and then went to pull Song Xiaoying away.

Song Xiaoying stubbornly clutched at Zhao Jian Country’s sleeve but finally let go reluctantly after Xu Xiuxiu pulled at her, and her tear-filled eyes glared briefly at Xu Xiuxiu, as if blaming Xu Xiuxiu for interfering too much.

For this, Xu Xiuxiu was somewhat speechless.

Zhao Jian Country, finally free from Song Xiaoying’s grasp, couldn’t help but sigh with relief and gratefully glanced at Xu Xiuxiu, then stepped forward to check on his own son.

On the hospital bed, Zhao Nan lay weakly, the unharmed side of his face alarmingly pale. Seeing his usually lively son now languishing there made Zhao Jian Country feel indescribable emotions of guilt and apology welling up in his heart.

"Dad!" When Zhao Nan saw Zhao Jian Country approaching the hospital bed, he immediately called out guiltily, and then slowly lowered his eyelids to block Zhao Jian Country’s view of him.

"Does it hurt?" Zhao Jian Country gently touched Zhao Nan’s uninjured half of the head and asked. fгeewebnovёl.com

"It doesn’t hurt." Zhao Nan answered with a choked voice, his tone firm and somewhat heart-wrenching, showing unusual fortitude for his young age.

"If it hurts, just say so, dad is here!" Zhao Jian Country coaxed his son with a rare gentle temper. Had it been a normal day, he would have been furious by now, but seeing his son lying on the bed barely alive, he couldn’t bear to lose his temper at him.

"Mhm." Zhao Nan nodded aggrievedly, unbandaged eyes welling up with tears.

From the moment Yuanhuan entered the medical room, his gaze had never left Xu Xiuxiu. Now seeing her safe and sound, the anxiety hanging over him finally eased. Having just calmed Song Xiaoying’s emotions, Yuanhuan took his son in his arms and stepped forward, pulling Xu Xiuxiu into his embrace, "It’s good you’re alright." Heaven knows how worried he was about the safety of her and their son on the way here.

"Let go of me," Xu Xiuxiu said, pushing against his chest in embarrassment. This man had no sense of occasion; Song Chengguang was still in his arms! What if he was pressed?

Yuanhuan obediently released Xu Xiuxiu, "You must have been terrified! Do you want to go home and rest first?" As he spoke, Yuanhuan leaned in and kissed her forehead without waiting for an answer.

Xu Xiuxiu’s cheeks immediately flushed with shyness, "It’s fine." Shaking her head, she turned to look at Zhao Nan, pretending that nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Yuanhuan didn’t say anything and stood by with Song Chengguang in his arms.

Soon after, Wang Hongfei arrived, dressed in a green military uniform, and hurried into the medical room. His first action was to salute Yuanhuan and Zhao Jian Country.

"Commissioner, I apologize, I didn’t discipline the children properly. I will bring Erya to apologize to you immediately," Wang Hongfei said, his eyes scanning Song Xiaoying, "Where did Erya go? Where did she run off to?"

"I don’t know, Erya was so scared by the trouble she caused that she ran off," Song Xiaoying answered blankly, "I was busy taking care of Zhao Nan and... and..." Song Xiaoying spoke with a tone full of grievance.

Xu Xiuxiu was speechless again upon hearing this. Taking care of Zhao Nan? From beginning to end, Song Xiaoying hadn’t even spared Zhao Nan a glance, sitting dazed in the medical room. Upon seeing Zhao Jian Country arrive, she immediately started crying and making a fuss. How dare she explain it like this? Wasn’t this just too outrageous?

"What are you good for, spending all day idle and you can’t even keep an eye on a child, Song Xiaoying, what can you actually do?" Wang Hongfei was straightforward and did not treat Song Xiaoying politely, directly rebuking her.

Song Xiaoying’s face turned pale instantly, "Hongfei, don’t be hasty, I’ll go find Erya right away." Saying this, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks, then choked up as she ran out of the medical room.

Wang Hongfei’s attitude relaxed a bit once Song Xiaoying left.
