Chapter 496: Tormented by the Past

ding right beside him. 。"Aunt, could you possibly come over tomorrow I really miss you." 。“ The little half-moon acts cute and coquettish just so that her grandma can come over sooner. 。Tomo...Qiao Liang's words left Qin Lan speechless.

He had been in constant contact all these years, Qin Lan wanted to believe it but was afraid. 。> For more than twenty years, everything has changed. Can she still believe that Qiao Liang hasn't changed Can she still believe that the love from back then is still there "I don't feel well now and I don't want to argue with you about these things... 。How is everything going for you Have I been causing you any trouble 。Qin Lan avoided the topic just now, but no matter what, their conversations always seemed to be about nothing much, always managing to tie back to over twenty years ago. 。"How could you say I'm causing you trouble, Qin Lan Even if we can't go back to the past, that child is also mine" 。It's my duty to take care of her, it's nothing special or troublesome. 。Qiubang felt helpless about Qin Lan's distant attitude and was also confused by her constant avoidance of the topic. 。"Qin Lan, I still want to recognize Jing Yi as my child" 。I want this child to call me father. 。"This child means something different to me, I want…" "Me too, I want to hear her call me 'Mom' too." 。But are you and I qualified Are we qualified to hear this child call us "mom" and "dad"

Qin Lan interrupted Qiao Liang's words in a low voice, not wanting himself and Qiao Liang to live so selfishly.

"Qiao Liang, I also have the same thoughts as you, and I understand your feelings." 。But you have to think of the child. 。Although she lost her parents, she has happy memories and a joyful childhood from her perspective. 。She has loving parents and a sister who cares for her. 。These are all important to her. 。"We suddenly revealed her background, and it all became meaningless. " 。She would feel that all her past happiness was an illusion, thinking she was a pitiful child who was unwanted. 。"Just stop thinking about it, knowing she's your daughter is enough." 。Never speak the truth for the rest of your life. 。Qin Lan stood in Qin Jingyi's position to think, and stood in Qin Jingwen's position to think. 。Two children are already pitiful enough, she can't let them be hurt any further. 。“I know I'm being selfish thinking this way, but I can’t help the urge.” 。It's agonizing to see a child right in front of me but be unable to recognize them. 。" Qiao Liang knew better than anyone that he wasn't worthy of being Qin Jingyi's father, but the intense desire in his heart was something he couldn't control. " 。> This child is the continuation of their love, a beautiful encounter even after forty years. He is also a testament to and crystallization of their love with Qin Lan. 。When Qiao Liang was alone, he always thought about how to make things perfect and how to avoid hurting everyone. 。He wants a happy family, a wife and children, sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, daughters and sons-in-law, and even more so, two adorable grandchildren. 。Regardless of what he thought, there was not a shred of hope to be found for this perfect ending. 。I know you're suffering, and we're getting old. We can endure this kind of hardship... 。 。Qin Lan understood Qiao Liang's feelings. She herself had also experienced the pain of seeing her daughter but being unable to recognize her. She knew all too well what kind of torment this was. 。But from the very beginning they were wrong, and those who are wrong must accept the consequences and punishment. 。This was all meant to be, they had no other choice. 。

Qiao Liang fell silent, and did not continue.

He could bear the hardship, but he longed more for a happy and reunited family. 。After all, things can't be hidden forever. 。Overseas 。Qin Jingwen sat alone on the sofa in the living room, holding her phone and staring blankly. 。Just now, I talked to Qin Jingyi on the phone and learned that Uncle Qiao went out. 。Qin Jingwen believed Zhou Shu could take good care of Qin Jinyi, but she couldn't help but worry. 。Worried that Jingyi would be lonely alone, she would miss her aunt and them. 。It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet 。Jo Shun-chen's voice pulled Qin Jingwen out of her daze. 。She didn't even know Qiao Shunchen had walked in, but she was clearly worried about Qin Jingyi. 。Just finished a phone call with Jingyi, she's not tired yet. 。"Qin Jingwen spoke softly, then got up from the sofa. 。"Jing Yi must be very happy, too. As her aunt, having such a niece must be a source of pride" 。Joe Shun-chen was still immersed in Joe Zi-xuan's good results. No matter who he talked to at home, he would think of Xuanxuan's excellence. 。If he remembered correctly, he had never been this flustered before. 。He's never been the type of boss who is cold and heartless, but he has always been a serious and domineering leader. 。Since being with Qin Jingwen and the two children, he feels that all his previous rules have disappeared. 。Who is to blame for this change 。But no matter who was at fault, Qiao Shunchen seemed to enjoy it. 。“Well, it’s nice to...” 。Also, Jingyi said that Uncle went to City C to see an old friend and will be back in a few days. 。Qin Jingwen casually mentioned Qiao Liang going out, not knowing if Qiao Shunchen knew. 。“Oh… he does have old friends in City C.” 。"Joe thought for a moment, it seemed like he had been there before, nothing strange about it. " 。But then he realized why Qin Jingwen had been staring blankly when she first came in. 。"Is Jingyi worried about being alone at home" Qiao Shunchen asked, looking at Qin Jingwen's melancholy face and already knowing the answer. 。 "a little worried" 。Qin Jingwen did not deny 。Joe Shunchen faintly raised the corner of his mouth, without continuing to say anything, but directly took out his phone and called Joe Yu. 。The phone rang. 。"Sister, if you don't have anything to do at home, come to my place. Jingyi is alone at home and she's afraid something might happen that she wouldn't feel comfortable telling Zhou Shu." 。"Where's Dad" Qiao Yu asked casually, wondering why there was only Yi at home. 。He went to City C to see his friends, leaving only Jingyi at home. 。"

Qiō Shunchen still couldn't bring himself to call him "Dad". >>> 。Then I'll go in the evening, you guys don't have to worry, just focus on accompanying Xuen Xuen at the competition. 。 Qiao Yu didn't even know her father wasn't home, but she was willing to go back to accompany Qin Jingyi. 。Just as Qiao Shunchen's phone call ended, Qin Jingwen came to his side and snuggled in his arms. 。It's so good to have you. With you, I don't have to worry about anything. 。“ Qin Jing said softly, she had always wanted this feeling. ” 。Don't think about anything, don't worry about anything, everything will be done for you. 。

I'm not going to be a strong woman who shoulders everything alone.

Today, though the matters were trivial, they were enough to make her feel a different kind of warmth. 。"You can totally be a housewife at home, you can not worry about anything for your whole life" 。With me, you can enjoy yourself to the fullest. 。 。" Qiao Shunchen complained a little, but still reached out to hug Qin Jingwen. " 。He likes Qin Jingwen relying on him, and he likes the feeling that she depends on him completely. 。"How could I dare to expect a lifetime together What if one day you don't like me anymore and we break up When that happens, if I'm old and faded and try to start over again, there will be no chance." 。"Seize the day for your children, your family, and yourself..." "Don't you trust that I will be with you forever" Qiao Shunchen interrupted Qin Jingwen's words. Unexpectedly, Qin Jingwen was still unable to rest assured being with him. 。Qin Jingwen felt Qiao Shunchen's displeasure. She looked up at Qiao Shunchen and smiled, a faint smile hanging on Qin Jingwen's face, looking comfortable to see. 。I'm not saying I don't trust you, it's just that things change all the time and no one can predict the future. 。When I was a surrogate, I never imagined I'd meet you. 。Of course, no one can guarantee that we'll be together forever. 。This is perfectly normal, don't take my words to heart. 。" Qin Jingwen is telling the truth. When two people get married, they always make promises of eternal love and commitment, but divorce is very common. " 。This is the fact, this is the time and place, what will be said at what time. 。Qin Jingwen thought that she had a heavy burden and couldn't live without a plan. 。She must be prepared in advance on any front, so that she won't be overwhelmed by life when unexpected events happen. 。 "It's not that I thought too much, it's that you thought too much" 。Even if we can't be together forever 。When we break up, I won't let you leave empty-handed. 。Even though Suqin left me and I gave her so much settlement money, how could I bear to mistreat the woman I love 。" Joe Shunchen admitted that things change, but he firmly believed that he and Qin Jingwen could make it to the end. 。Actually, it's Qin Jing Wen Qi being overly worried. She overthinks things and he can only cooperate to make her feel at ease. 。"Then I really have to thank you for not forgetting that I was the woman you loved. Since you said so, I don't have to worry" 。No matter what, money means there's always a way out. 。Qin Jingwen smiled even brighter, but she just didn't know if Qiao Shunchen would have the same attitude on the day they actually broke up. Would she be more important to him back then than Su Qin 。Ye Wen had quite a few things on her mind these two days. Although she decided not to give up after hearing Song Yi En's words, there were many things she couldn't make up her mind about. 。Before she would ask Su Qin to help her analyze things, but ever since she found out that Su Qin had taken advantage of her, she hasn't contacted Su Qin at all. 。He wanted to go about it quietly, as if nothing had happened, and take advantage of Su Qin for his own gain. But he was also afraid that she would ruin his plans, afraid that she would truly become the one who profited from the conflict between others. 。Ye Wen was also troubled whether to help Jonny get Qin Jingwen's affection. She was hesitating, one was afraid that Qin Jingwen wouldn't look down on Jonny at all 。Joe Shun-chen compared to Jonny... seems incomparable. 。How could Qin Jingwen possibly give up on Qiao Shunchen and Jonny being together 。Another possibility is helping someone who doesn't know how to help themselves, and you might end up suffering the consequences. 。When her past is exposed, Qiao Shunchen won't even care about old feelings. 。What can be done, what can be done, who can give her an answer, who can help her think of a way 。Ye Wen was troubled for a while, and finally she decided to call Jonny first to comfort him, lest he go wild. 。I took Jonny's number from the blacklist and called him. 。"You can, even a greeting don't give just leave, you call me you still turn off 。What do you mean, are you testing my patience 。" Jonny's attitude from the start was extremely hostile, he was clearly harboring a lot of resentment. " 。"No..." "No what Ye Wen, I see you clearly now..." 。You are a woman with a cruel heart. 。You don't have to tell me, but you should say goodbye to the child. 。These days she cries every day wanting to find you, did you just cruelly let her cry and be heartbroken like that”Jonny’s emotions were a bit agitated, thinking about how pitiful the child looked, he even wanted to yell at Ye Wen. 。 “No, listen to me explain” 。My mom suddenly got sick and was hospitalized. I rushed back to see her so I didn't say hello to you. 。It wasn't just that I didn't greet you, I didn't even have time to tell my few friends. It happened so suddenly and I was both worried and scared, so I didn't have time to think about anything else. 。" Ye Wen explained that now she could only continue to lie that her mother was sick in order to deceive Jonny. " 。Right now, the most important thing is to calm him down and prevent him from saying anything rash. 。>ue, you're lying" 。Mom would never be unfaithful to Dad. 。You've been single for so many years, lots of uncles have pursued you but none have won your heart. 。You love your father most, and you will...
