But the play must go on.
Xu Xingguang also burst into tears, crying more genuinely than Xu Zeqing.
Xu Xingguang pressed her forehead against Xu Zeqing's shoulder, gripping his hair tightly, sobbing, "I don't have a mom anymore, I don't want to lose my dad too. Dad, I've forgiven you, I really have."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zeqing let out a sigh of relief and promised, "From now on, Dad will be your strongest support, and won't allow anyone to hurt you!"
"...Okay."
After a while, Xu Zeqing let go of Xu Xingguang. He wiped his tears awkwardly with his sleeve and said softly while leaning at the foot of the bed, "Your Aunt You is indeed not a forgiving or kind woman, and she can't treat you equally, but she is a good mother and a good wife."
