wen " 。"Auntie knows, Auntie will be strong for both of you too." 。" Qin Jingwen felt distressed and didn't know how to comfort anyone. 。"Alright, everyone stop crying, how can Mommy get better if yo...“I……”

Qiao Shunchen didn't know what to say at this moment.

Although I mustered the courage to face them, the moment I saw them, my resentment was still as clear as day. 。

Now, there is no more heartache and sorrow for Qin Lan.

"Shunchen, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." 。"Haven't you had dinner yet We haven't either. We'll eat together when the kids get back." 。Joe Liang was cautious and did not dare to bring up the obstacles in their hearts. 。Joe Xiang sat in the wheelchair, looking at Joe Shunchen, his eyes full of love. 。The day waiting for Qiao Shunchen's return seemed long, most importantly the torment in my heart. 。"You guys keep talking, I'm going to the kitchen" 。Qin Lan felt restless, yet she couldn't help but keep an eye on Qiao Shunchen. 。Seeing Qiao Shunchen remain silent, she thought that her presence made the child uncomfortable. 。"Wait..." Qiao Shunchen stopped Qin Lan, his tone not as cold as expected, but rather filled with guilt. 。This is the bravest thing he's ever done from birth to now, and also the two most cowardly words he's ever spoken. 。Yes, he should be the first to face Qin Lan. 。"I..." My mind is thinking well, but my mouth isn't very obedient. 。To say the words "I'm sorry," one must overcome the obstacles in their heart. 。“I... I'm sorry” 。“ A single apology, after so many years. A single “I’m sorry” represents Qiao Shunchen’s debt. But even though he said it, he didn't dare to look Qin Lan in the eye. 。 “I…” This time it was Qin Lan's turn to not know how to respond. After so many years, the first meeting turned out to be an apology unexpectedly. 。However, Qin Lan felt a pang of heartache when she heard this. It was so painful that all her grievances surged up at once. 。"I... I call you Auntie the same way Wenwen does." 。Joe Shunchen took a deep breath to slow his heart rate, then stepped in front of Qin Lan. 。"Auntie, I was wrong. I'm sorry." 。When there's a start, the apology feels more sincere. 。To everyone's surprise, after saying those words, Qiao Shunchen knelt down on both knees before Qin Lan. 。"Aunt... I..." "Child, get up quickly. Let's talk." 。" Qin Lan panicked, this kneel made her already red eyes even wetter. 。Over two decades of hatred, over two decades of avoidance, exchanged for Qiao Shunchen's kneeling repentance. It was worth it; her grievances were not in vain. 。"Auntie... please let me finish my words..." 。I have hated you for over twenty years, wishing I could push you down the stairs with my own hands. 。For over two decades, you have been an unforgivable enemy in my heart, a person I can never forgive. 。But I was wrong, it wasn't your fault at all. 。"After knowing the truth of the matter, you not only didn't defend yourself, but also offered to continue taking the blame for me." 。And at this point, Qiao Shunchen had choked up, tears streaming down his cheeks. 。He hadn't knelt before many people in his life, besides his deceased mother, Qin Lan was the second. 。Even so, he could not make up for Qin Lan's years of grievances, nor could he express his remorse. 。"Child, I understand you" 。

Of all these years, you've been the most difficult person. You haven't done anything wrong.

Child, come and talk. Let's sit down and have a good chat. 。Qin Lan was a soft-hearted person, as soon as Qiao Shunchen knelt like that, she had already forgotten all of Qiao Shunchen's mistakes. 。A real man doesn't shed tears easily, a real man kneels before heaven and his parents, but Qiao Shunchen cried for her and knelt down. 。This is enough to prove that he knows he was wrong, and he dares to face it and take responsibility. 。"I'm a bastard, I hurt you, and I hurt Wenwen, and even Jingyi." 。Sister, please punish me. You can beat me or scold me, I am willing to accept the punishment. 。Joe Shunchen didn't stand up. He thought about what he had done, and then he thought about everything Qin Lan had done for their family. It wasn't something that could be compared with just a narrow-minded remark. 。"It's good that you know you were wrong. Your aunt won't hit or scold you, your aunt forgives you." 。Qin Lan's tears streamed down her face, she knew very well that even if Qiao Shunchen had done something wrong, it was in ignorance. 。In other words, he is also a victim, blinded by hatred for over twenty years. Such pain is not something ordinary people can bear. 。"Don't forgive me, I don't deserve to be forgiven" 。Thinking about his own children being raised by their aunt, thinking about how she cared for the elderly without holding grudges, thinking about how she brought him lunch to work, Qiao Shunchen hated himself even more. 。It could be said that Qin Lan devoted her whole heart and soul to the Qiao family. She poured all her energy into them throughout her life, yet she remarkably did not ask for any return. 。Such noble character and lofty aspirations, even men would not be able to achieve this. 。Seeing Qiao Shunchen kneeling on the ground and refusing to get up, seeing him constantly self-blame and repent, Qin Lan couldn't help but feel pity for him. 。She crouched down and opened her arms to gently embrace Qiao Shunchen. 。"Child, don't blame yourself" 。Things have passed, let's not dwell on them. 。The mistake isn't yours, it's your father who didn't handle things well. 。Though his intentions were good, he did not expect that after more than twenty years, the hatred in your hearts would still remain. 。While softly coaxing him, she gently patted Qiao Shunchen's back. 。Qin Lan clearly felt Qiao Shunchen trembling all over because of regret. She hoped this embrace would be the best comfort for Qiao Shunchen. 。They were married, but he never gave her love and protection. Your father always felt indebted to your mother. 。So safeguarding your mother's last dignity is the only thing he can do for her. 。"To keep you from knowing the truth, I wanted her to remain in your hearts as a perfect mother. I didn't want to tarnish the image you have of her." 。Whenever I think of my mother, at least I am happy, rather than unable to hold my head up. 。Qin Lan had to explain for Qiao Liang, otherwise the resentment between father and son would never be resolved. 。When I knew your father's thoughts, I actually supported him, because his starting point was for your own good. 。So I'm willing to continue enduring all of this, and let you continue to hate me. 。"So I wanted to leave with Wenwen and Jingyi, wanting to keep all of this hidden." 。" Now that I think about it, I was wrong to support your father's actions. 。"Qin Lan reflected on herself, if she hadn't been so hesitant all along, things wouldn't have dragged on for so long, and Qiao Shunchen wouldn't have suffered so much. 。"You are not wrong, it is my fault " 。Qin Lan's every word, as delicate as spring rain and as warm as sunshine, completely broke Qiao Shunchen. 。And her warm embrace, filled with the care of a mother's love, made Qiao Shunchen cry out in pain. 。"I was wrong, I did too many things that hurt you. " 。The tears flowing weren't just regret for Qin Lan, but also longing for Qin Jingwen. 。If he had realized his mistake sooner, how much pain Qin Jingwen would have been spared. 。Qin Lan's warm and jade-like disposition, letting bygones be bygones, made Qiao Shunchen feel comforted and at ease. 。" Shunchen, wake up. It's dad's fault. Dad shouldn't have hidden the truth from you." 。" Qiao Liang's eyes were filled with tears, and his heart ached as he watched his son cry. 。"I should have been honest back then, and then none of this would have happened." 。It's my fault, all my fault. 。" Qiao Liang should also apologize, to be precise, he is the one who owes an apology to everyone. " 。Chiao Shun-chen remained unmoved, and did not rise to his feet despite his father's confession. 。Perhaps he hadn't planned on forgiving his father, or maybe Qin Lan's embrace was simply too warm. 。"Shun Chen... wake up..." 。Your aunt has been having back pain these days... Back pain makes it hard to squat. 。Joel's heart ached, tears streaming down his face nonstop. 。But at this moment, he also had to make Qiao Shunchen stand up, not just for Qiao Shunchen but also for Qin Lan's body. 。"I rise, I rise" 。" Qiao Xiang's words worked, and while Qiao Shunchen stood up, he also helped Qin Lan to his feet. 。"No need to cry anymore, it's all over, and your apology is accepted by your aunt." Let me know if you have any other translations you'd like me to do! 。Qin Lan wiped her own tears while picking up a tissue to help Qiao Shunchen wipe his tears. 。This action was just like a mother comforting a child who was wronged outside. 。"Shunchen… Grandpa… I’m sorry too." 。If anyone's to blame, it's me. The culprit is my grandfather. 。Joe Hsiang cannot pretend nothing happened. All the children's pain is because of his tyranny and stubbornness. 。He is the most wrong and outrageous person, he deserves the harshest punishment. 。"I blame no one" 。“No one is to blame. Qiao Shunchen forgave all the mistakes and everyone involved.” 。In the moment Qin Lan embraced him, in the moment Qin Lan forgave him, he realized how small his own world was. 。Qin Lan had suffered far more hardships than him, she could choose a Buddhist approach, forgive everything, what was there for a man like him to hold onto 。As Qin Lan said, things have already happened. Dwelling on the past is a punishment to oneself and irresponsible to everyone. 。"Good, he's a man..."Jo De-xiang was overjoyed and tears welled up in his eyes. All his worries finally lifted. 。 Qiao Shunchen's ability to utter these words represents more than just forgiveness; it signifies the release and peace he has found within himself. 。Only when he lets go of all this, will his future path be easier, and only then can the heart that has been burdened and tired for over twenty years finally find ease and freedom. 。It was late, but Qin Lan couldn't sleep. 。 "Not asleep yet" Joe Liang cared about 。"What happened today came as a complete surprise, and I still can't believe it. " 。"After more than twenty years, I never expected to meet Shunchen like this. " 。Qin Lan sighed, recalling 。It's like a dream, I can't even believe it's real. 。"I never thought that if I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have to hide for so long either." 。How could Qiao Liang not feel awkward But things often happen this way, always coming unexpectedly. 。"Shun Chen is pitiful, a man in his thirties crying like a child. 。"It's all your fault. One wrong decision made the child suffer for over twenty years." 。Qin Lan couldn't help but complain a few words. Although it was a bit late, she wanted to vent for Qiao Shunchen. 。Blame me, indeed blame me 。My thoughts at the time were still too simplistic, I didn't consider the child's deep-seated needs. 。"Oh... I, as a father, am unworthy. I have ruined my child's twenty-plus years..." 。Even if Qin Lan didn't blame him, Qiao Liang already felt very guilty. 。All the blame lies with him. It's his fault for not controlling the situation and not thinking things through. 。He not only hurt the child, but also Qin Lan. Qin Jingwen was even more innocent, making him feel heartache. 。What's reassuring is that things finally came to a conclusion and didn't drag on to the next generation. 。It's good that you know your mistake. In the future, when encountering things, be sure to think more about them. 。“ Complaints are just a word, Qin Lan knew she couldn't be too harsh on Qiao Liang, and couldn't let him get angry and hurt himself. ”

"Listen to you, from now on no matter what happens, I'll listen to you." 。Joe assured that no matter what happened in the future, he would never act arbitrarily or be self-important. 。 to Qin Jingwen's words, he only felt heartache at this moment. 。He knew Qin Jingwen was still angry, furious that he had spoken so carelessly. 。He already knows he was wrong, no matter what happen...
