Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

After a few polite exchanges, Tang Shi got straight to the point, "Uncle, I've heard about what happened, and our Song family bears responsibility for this!"

"I came here today to give the Li family an explanation."

Standing to the side, Li Zhihua listened to Tang Shi's statement and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, couldn't help but relax.

Tang Shi's presence here at this moment signifies his status as a member of the Song family.

The stance expressed by Tang poetry is also the stance expressed by the Song dynasty.

The series of reactions Tang Shi showed after entering the ward also indicated that the Song family supported the marriage between Li Dong and Song Ci.

As for Li Ying's visit to cause trouble today, the Song family was certainly unaware of it.

As long as Song Chenfeng doesn't take the same stance as Li Ying in this marriage, Li Zhihua is confident in his ability to handle the situation.

Tang Shi hurriedly explained, "Uncle, please don't blame Xiao Dong. Xiao Dong didn't tell me about being hospitalized; Xiao Ci told me."

"The girl was crying and sobbing on the phone, she was terrified, and she said she hadn't handled things well."

"I came here specifically to clarify things for the Song family!"

Mr. Li waved his hand, "Xiao Tang, that's an overstatement."

"There's no need for clarification; it's just a small misunderstanding."

Tang Shi shook her head. "Uncle, this is not as simple as a small misunderstanding."

"This matter concerns the happiness of our two children. On this issue, our Song family cannot be ambiguous in our stance and must take a serious attitude!"

"Therefore, I must make a statement on behalf of the Song family."

At this point, the eldest sister glanced at Li Yao.

Li Yao immediately understood and took the two children out.

After the child left, Tang Shi spoke up, "Uncle, I already explained Xiao Ci's family situation to you during my last visit."

“Xiao Ci’s parents are divorced and went abroad when Xiao Ci was very young.”

“Over the years, Xiao Ci has been raised by my father and me, and has had relatively little contact with my mother’s side of the family.”

"I don't know what Xiaoci's mother's opinion is regarding the marriage between our two families, and I don't care."

"But the Song family has only one stance, and that is support!"

“My father is very satisfied with Xiao Dong as his son-in-law.”

"Even if the Song family has any concerns, they wouldn't express them in this way."

Hearing Tang Shi's statement, Mr. Li's face finally regained some color. "Little Tang, thank you."

"I don't really care, but I feel sorry for the two children."

"We've already gotten together, and we even have Nian Nian. If we're forcibly separated, it will be harmful to both of our families!"

Tang Shi nodded. "That's right, that's what I thought too."

"It wasn't easy for Xiaodong and my sister to get together."

"No matter what, as long as the two of them truly love each other, we as parents should not forcibly stop them."

"Besides, Xiaodong is an excellent child, and I feel very reassured leaving my sister in his care."

"I'm not worried about anything else right now, but I am worried that Xiaoci won't be a good daughter-in-law."

"As for Xiaoci's mother, Uncle Li, please rest assured. The Li family doesn't need to intervene. I, as the eldest sister, will handle the communication."

"No matter how this matter is ultimately resolved, I will definitely give the Li family an explanation!"

"Also, I would like to apologize to Uncle Li for what happened today."

"No matter what, this matter was caused by Xiao Ci, so please forgive me, Uncle."

After saying this, Tang Shi stood up and bowed to Li's father.

Mr. Li quickly waved his hand, "Little Tang, please don't do this!"

"There's no hurdle that can't be overcome. Besides, how can a young couple not experience ups and downs in their life together?"

Once the matter is clarified, the misunderstanding will be resolved.

Because Mr. Li was still hospitalized, the eldest sister did not stay long.

After sitting for a short while, she stood up and said, "Xiao Dong, it's getting late, so I won't disturb Uncle Li's rest any longer."

"I might be heading back to Tianyang tomorrow, so I might not have time to come over."

"Uncle, you must take good care of yourself."

"After I go back this time, I will definitely convey the Li family's attitude to my father, and I will also do my best to facilitate a meeting between both sets of parents."

"I'll come to Tianzhou to see you again when I have the chance!"

Mr. Li's recovery is going quite well, and the hospital doesn't need too many people.

Li Zhihua insisted on staying, allowing Li's mother and Li Yao to take the child back, while Li Dong also sent his elder sister and Song Ci's group home.

When they got downstairs, the older woman said, "Xiao Dong, you don't need to see me off."

"I'm not going back yet, I have some urgent business to take care of. You take Xiaoci and Niannian back first, don't worry about my older sister."

Li Dong didn't press the matter further, but Song Ci knew that her older sister was definitely going to confront Li Ying.

Such a big thing happened today, and it's related to her. It's understandable that my older sister didn't know.

Now that everyone knows, they should definitely go and have a talk with Li Ying.

Seeing this, Song Ci did not stop him.

As Li Zhihua said, she couldn't personally intervene in this matter, since the other party was her mother no matter what.

The slap he received today was already the limit for Song Ci.

If even this method couldn't deter Li Ying, then she didn't know what else to do.

On the way back, Niannian was a little tired and fell asleep soon after.

Song Ci seemed worried the whole way, as if something was weighing on her mind.

Taking advantage of a traffic light, Li Dong asked, "Senior sister, what's wrong?"

Song Ci thought for a moment, "There's something I've been thinking about all the way here."

"Weren't we discussing changing Niannian's name at home yesterday?"

"Actually, according to my sister's and my plan, we originally intended to take care of this matter on Monday."

"But as you know, I don't dare to do this rashly until the matter of Niannian is settled."

Li Dong said directly, "Senior sister, just say what you want to say. There's no need for so many reservations between us."

Song Ci tentatively suggested, "I think we should wait until we've revealed Niannian's true identity to the Li family before dealing with this matter!"

"If the Li family is still willing to acknowledge me as their daughter-in-law and Niannian as their granddaughter, then we will change Niannian's surname back to her original one."

"If the Li family is unwilling to acknowledge me as their daughter-in-law, and also unwilling to acknowledge Niannian as their granddaughter, then..."

Before Song Ci could finish speaking, Li Dong interrupted her, "Senior Sister, what are you saying?"

"You will always be my wife, and Niannian will always be my daughter."

"Whether the Li family acknowledges it or not, I acknowledge it!"

"I've said it before, since I decided to be with you, I've never cared about these things."

"If you want to tell your family about Niannian's background, you can, I won't stop you."

"No matter what my family says, or what people say outside, Niannian is still my daughter, and no one can change that. No one can take her away from me!"
