"Yingying, be obedient." Xu Mengying didn't speak as the other person's voice gradually softened, followed by a slow sigh, "Grandpa isn't being inconsiderate of you, it's just that Grandpa has no other options left! Can you help Grandpa out, for all the affection I've shown you since you were little, please?"
The Xu patriarch knew all too well that his granddaughter always responded better to a gentle approach rather than a hard one; thus, he had to soften up, or else he would face an even stronger resistance.
As expected.
"I understand, I will ask the deputy captain for leave, and I'll be back tomorrow." Her voice carried a desolation, along with a sense of helplessness.
Being part of a large family, couldn't she really have her own freedom? Her future, it seems, was still inescapably subject to their arrangements and designs. Haha... how sad.
