you 。Finally, Qiao Shunchen succumbed to Qin Jingwen's stubbornness, or perhaps he simply chose to compromise. 。Qin Jingwen stopped, the tension on her face finally easing, and the worry in her heart...She must be disappointed in me. 。"It took Qiao Shunchen quite a while to finally say this." 。She must have been disappointed. When I brought it up with her, she didn't ask any questions. Not even when we told her what happened, she wouldn't let me say... 。"She only said, 'There must be a reason why you want to hide things.'" 。You don't want to say it, and she doesn't want to know. 。Now that she thinks about it, Koudan can feel Qin Jingwen's disappointment and the pain in her heart from back then. 。This woman is just so strong, she keeps everything to herself. She would rather hurt herself than put Qiao Shunchen in a difficult position. 。 "Sigh..." Qiao Shunchen sighed again, he didn't know how to face Qin Jingwen anymore. 。"Explain things well to her, it's still possible to win her back now. " 。“ That's all the advice Kou Dan can give. That's all she can do.” 。Joe Xiang's body has recovered, the last time was when Qiao Liang wasn't home and Qin Lan talked to him alone. 。This time, taking advantage of Qin Lan's going out to buy groceries, Qiao Dechang wanted to have a private conversation with Qiao Liang. 。In the living room, the father and son sat chatting while drinking tea. 。This time, Qiao Dexiang was no longer arrogant and domineering, only calm and composed. 。Since Qin Lan is not home, we should have a good talk. 。“Well, what are you going to do about it”Joe Liang thought about this matter and felt a headache coming on. But facing his father's question, he had to confront 。"First, tell me, did you make Qin Lan leave" Qiao Liang countered his father, because only after confirming that Qin Lan was not in harm's way could he continue with what came next. 。"It's not her fault, and Shunchen's mother wasn't forced to death by anyone. How could I have the face to ask people to leave" 。"

George Xiang considered this to be the most embarrassing defeat he'd ever experienced, using his harshest tactics against the most innocent person. " 。"You mean..." Qiao Liang, a sixty-year-old man, asked his father in surprise for the first time, but his words were interrupted by Qiao Dexiang before he could finish. The reason was that Qiao Dexiang didn't want to hear what came next. 。"That's exactly what you mean" 。He remained cold and heartless, even after learning the truth of the matter, unable to continue harming 。"Speaking of this, I get angry. Why didn't you say anything back then Shunchen's mother didn't even care about your and the child's feelings. What was the point of defending her dignity" 。" Joe was angry and blamed the book for this. 。"If everything had been said back then, there wouldn't be so many things happening today." 。You're just as responsible for this whole thing as I am. 。Joe Xiang was still angry, but it was a different kind of anger than he'd felt the day he fainted. 。He knew this wasn't a time to shift blame, but these things could have been avoided. Yet, because of Joe Liang's wrong decisions, the pain has dragged on for over twenty years. 。Do you know how much pain Shunchen and Qiao Yu have endured for over twenty years Do you know how innocent Qin Lan has been for over two decades Do you know that Qin Jingwen's surrogacy could have been avoided Do you know that Jingyi should have grown up healthy in Qiao's superior environment 。“ Joe Chiang's tone turned angry, a sharp departure from his calm demeanor at the beginning of their conversation. ” 。What he said might not have been intended to, but now it's become a weapon after another, a tool to hurt everyone. 。Of course, there are my obstacles and strengths here 。If I hadn't unilaterally resolved everything, these consequences wouldn't have happened. 。" Joe Xiang was still courageous about this. He knew very well how hot-tempered he had been in the past, and he also knew that he couldn't accept a woman like Qin Lan, who came from an ordinary family, entering the Qiao family. 。He should take responsibility for most of these mistakes. 。"Back then, I didn't think things would get this bad. After all, even when things were at their worst, Shunchen's mother didn't commit suicide" 。Since the father has already realized his mistake, Qiao Liang did not say much. 。He only admitted to his own mistakes, admitting that his decision had not been well-considered. 。"When Shunchen's mother jumped to her death, Qin Lan had already been hidden by you. I couldn't see him at all." 。We didn't even get a chance to talk to you, let alone have a good conversation. 。At that time, both children were devastated. They resented Qin Lan, and I couldn't tell them everything about their mother's situation because I felt it would hurt them even more. 。"I chose to remain silent to protect the child." 。I know this would hurt Qin Lan, but I didn't expect things to develop this badly. 。Now that Qiao Liang thinks about it, he also feels that what he did was too selfish. After all, things have come to this, and he can only try his best to remedy the situation. 。Don't just talk about it, figure out a way to solve it. 。Either you tell me everything, or…

“We can’t say…

Let me know if you need anything else translated!。Joe Hsiang didn't want to reminisce about the past. He felt everyone in his family was wrong, and the Qin family were the most innocent. 。His current thought is to resolve the matter, but he also knows the difficulty is too great. 。His thought was interrupted by Qiao Liang before he could finish. 。One is that now isn't the best time to say anything, and another reason is that the man's family is also afraid of hurting the children and the elderly. They haven't said anything all these years because of this. 。"If I were to say it now, it would also hurt their family." 。This is where Qiao Liang's dilemma lies. It's no longer just a family matter; he needs to carefully consider and make a meticulous decision. 。

"Increasingly complex" 。Joe Xiang was speechless. The current situation was that all the pain was being carried by Qin Lan alone. Just thinking about it, one could know how heavy such a burden was. 。"Dad, things are not as easy to solve as we imagined. There's also the matter of Shunchen's car accident." 。Once Qin Jingwen finds out about the accident, she won't forgive our family. 。There's more than one or two things Qiao Liang needs to consider. 。Now the most important thing is the relationship between Qiao Shunchen and Qin Jingwen. Once their relationship deteriorates because of the car accident, it won't just be them who suffer, both children will also have a hard time and feel pain. 。... “Sigh…” This matter, Joe Chiang had overlooked. He'd ignored the most important thing of all... 。After work, Qiao Shunchen went home on time, but Qin Jingwen didn't come back on time. 。I called Qin Jingwen, she said her work is not finished yet. 。Actually, Qin Jingwen continued to investigate the things she was doubtful about. She kept looking for some of her father's friends from before and asking about what happened back then. 。The harvest was not large, some people didn't know anything, and those who did knew things she had already heard from Uncle Lu. 。With a disheartened mood, Qin Jingwen returned home. It was already nine o'clock in the evening when she got back. 。"Have you had dinner" Joe Shunchen had been waiting for Qin Jingwen to come back in the living room. The first thing he said when he saw her was to ask if she had eaten dinner. 。"Ah... I forgot to eat " 。”

When Qiao Shunchen asked this, Qin Jingwen only then remembered that she hadn't even had time to eat dinner.

Walking over to the sofa, she put down her phone and handbag, then headed towards the kitchen. 。 “I'm going to the kitchen to see what there is to eat” 。" Don't look, I'll take you out to eat. 。Jo Shunchun stopped Qin Jingwen and immediately took back the bag she had just put down. The other hand held Qin Jingwen's car keys. 。I felt sorry for Qin Jingwen for not having dinner, but he also needed a chance to be alone with Qin Jingwen and explain the things he had kept hidden calmly. 。"Come on, I'm a little tired" 。Qin Jingwen refused. It wasn't just fatigue, it was mainly a lack of mood. 。"I'll drive, I'll hold you, we'll go out. You don't have to exert any effort." 。"Let's go have some barbecue. It's been ages since we last had it, and ages since we last ate out alone." 。" Let's go 。" Qiao Shunchen reached out to hug Qin Jingwen as he spoke, but Qin Jingwen stepped back two steps and refused him. 。"You drive, I'll walk myself. " 。Qin Jingwen refused Qiao Shunchen's hug, but she didn't refuse to go out for a meal. 。It's not really about the food or the barbecue. The main reason she wants to do this is to drink some alcohol and relax her tense nerves. 。Two people got in the car together, Qiao Shunchen drove, and Qin Jingwen sat in the passenger seat. 。"How could the car be so messy, what's in the back" Qiao Shunchen discovered it when he got in the car, but only just now remembered to ask. 。The reason for asking was because Qin Jingwen wasn't this messy of a person, and suddenly seeing her car in such disarray made Qiao Shunchen feel strange. 。Qin Jingwen first glanced behind her, then gave an answer. 。“They are all work-related documents. I just messed them up before getting out of the car.” 。Qin Jingwen answered casually, actually these things were just the basic information she had found about those people recently. 。Because she was finding each one and placing it carefully, Qin Jingwen didn't have time to put things away. 。"You've been working too hard lately, there are some things you can completely hand over to Sister Yang to handle" 。You're not feeling well, you shouldn't overwork yourself. 。Joe Shun-chen's understanding is that Qin Jingwen is too tired and doesn't have the energy to tidy up, so it's messy. 。"Well, I'll be careful." 。" Qin Jingwen replied calmly as ever, but she didn't speak again afterwards. 。What really tired her out wasn't the work, but the tangled threads and missing clues. 。However, all of this cannot be entrusted to anyone. She has to bear it herself, no matter how hard or tiring it is. 。Coming to Qin Jingwen's favorite barbecue restaurant, the two of them found a small private room and sat down. 。Qin Jingwen looked at the menu and ordered her favorite dishes, then passed it to Qiao Shunchen. 。After looking at the menu, Qiao Shunchen didn't order immediately. Instead, he asked Qin Jingwen, 。Did you order white wine Or would you like a beer 。Joe Shun-chen said that because he saw that Qin Jingwen's white wine was high proof. 。He doesn't want Qin Jingwen to be harmed by alcohol. 。"Beer makes my stomach feel uncomfortable, but drinking a little white wine isn't a big deal." 。"She insisted on having a shot. She just wanted to feel the burn of alcohol, that was the only way she could relax." 。"Alright, I'll drink with you. We can call a ride back later." 。“

Chiao Shunchen’s persuasion failed, so he could only accompany her with his life.

Although it's still unknown why Qin Jingwen wants to drink high-proof alcohol, at least letting her have some might make things easier. 。The food we ordered came quickly one after another, and the drinks started flowing. 。"It's been ages since we last had a drink together, hasn't it" Qin Jingwen asked, taking a small sip of white wine. 。The alcohol is too strong, she's still a little afraid to drink it. 。n's face changed. His handsome sword eyebrows tightened, and there was obvious tension in his eyes. 。"What are you saying We got into a car accident When Where What kind of car" Joseph's mood suddenly...
