Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Why Would He Like Her_1

“If anyone dares to harm Hai Xiaotang, they are making an enemy of the entire Dongfang Empire….”

“If anything happens to my wife, I, Dongfang Yu, will retaliate to the fullest extent!”

Upon witnessing the powerful and resolute pledges made by Dongfang Yu, Hai Xiaotang was deeply shaken!

She had never dreamed that he would make such a proclamation for her…

…

After a simple meal, Hai Xiaotang parted ways with Qiao Ning.

She did not dare to linger outside for too long, fearing any accidents might cause more trouble for Dongfang Yu.

Returning home, Hai Xiaotang felt dazed.

The pledges Dongfang Yu made seemed to have unsettled her emotions.

As Hai Xiaotang was trying to sort out her emotions, a servant suddenly announced: “Miss, the lady of the house is here!”

Hai Xiaotang looked up sharply, “Who?”

Then she saw He Meilian, who had just walked in.

Upon seeing her, Hai Xiaotang rose instinctively, somewhat reserved, “Madam…”

He Meilian gave a slight smile: “Xiaotang, it’s been a while.”

“Madam, it’s been a long time!” Hai Xiaotang hastily returned the greeting.

He Meilian caught her nervousness and said with a smile, “Don’t be nervous, I’m just here for a casual chat. Shall we go to the garden? The weather outside is quite pleasant.”

“Okay!” Hai Xiaotang nodded without objection.

Then the two of them went to the summerhouse in the backyard.

Hai Xiaotang even served the tea herself and then sat across from Meilian, rather uncomfortably.

For some reason, she felt uncomfortable whenever she saw Dongfang Yu’s mother.

After taking a sip of tea, He Meilian suddenly said guiltily, “Xiaotang, honestly, we owe your grandfather a lot. If we had trusted him more in the past, perhaps we wouldn’t have harmed him or you.”

Hai Xiaotang didn’t expect her to say this. She was taken aback, then said lightly, “It’s not entirely your fault. My grandfather chose to bear it all…”

“But anyhow, we were also at fault. So this time, we’ll do everything we can to help him.”

Hai Xiaotang was deeply touched, “Thank you, madam!”

Looking at her kindly, He Meilian smiled and said, “Xiaotang, you really are a wonderful girl. I’ve always liked you. Do you know why I like you?”

Hai Xiaotang shook her head, puzzled. She didn’t know.

And she was curious as to why Meilian would like her.

Her past character was quite flawed…

“It’s because you like Yuyu very much!” He Meilian suddenly revealed the answer with a smile.

Hai Xiaotang was stunned. How could this be a reason?

He Meilian continued, “I only have one son. He and his father are everything to me. You have no idea how worried I was when Yuyu was born. I feared that he wouldn’t find a wife who would love him deeply.

I worried that his wife wouldn’t be able to give him all the love he deserves, wouldn’t love him the way I do.

You may laugh, but in my eyes, my son is the best. If his wife didn’t love him enough, I would feel so sorry for my son.”

So when I found out how much you like him, I felt happy. That’s why I like you.”

This revelation did surprise Hai Xiaotang, but she understood it.

All mothers in the world probably have the same thoughts…

However, why was she abruptly sharing this? Hai Xiaotang’s eyes flickered as if she was beginning to understand something.

“Xiaotang!” Suddenly, He Meilian looked at her seriously and directly asked, “Do you still love Yuyu? Do you still love him as much as before?”
