Chapter 223: A Photo from When I Was Twenty
lly proposed to Li Mo, and she is still considering it and hasn't given me a reply. 。If she agrees, then Grandfather should prepare for the wedding. Everything will be up to Grandfather, as long as it...Qin Jingyi's temperament has always been straightforward. She dislikes procrastination and can't stand seeing her sister and child in pain.
"I will, that is, even if you don't say anything, your sister will also be dedicated to the child. After all, that's flesh that fell off her body."
"Jing Yi, how is your sister doing lately"
Jiō Shunchen had always been worried about Qin Jingwen, but he couldn't ask her directly or show his concern.
“Well, if the child isn't heartbroken, she'll be better. She's completely immersed in her work and you can't tell where she's hurt. My sister is strong, no matter what happens, she carries it herself. That's how she's gotten through all these years.”
"Before, I would just bear it because I wasn't here. Now, when something is on my mind, I don't tell my aunt or me. If I can't hold it in, I go to the cemetery and talk to Mom and Dad."
"Don't worry about her, I'll take good care of her from now on. Just go ahead and get married as soon as possible, and cut off the hopes of those two children."
Qin Jingyi still said the same thing, urging Qiao Shunchen to get married as soon as possible. She believed that time could smooth things over, and the child's wounds would heal.
No matter what, it's better than dragging the child's wounds around now.
Qin Jingyi's words reminded Qiao Shunchen of Qin Jingwen at the cemetery parking lot that day. It turned out she had something on her mind and couldn't hold it in, so she sought someone to confide in.
"Jing Yi, take good care of your sister. I will think carefully about what you said."
If Qin Jingwen gets well, his marriage can be more at ease, otherwise she will be his lifelong pain.
As soon as Qiao Shunchen finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, followed by Qiao Yu pushing the door open and entering.
When Qiao Yu saw Qin Jingyi, she was taken aback for a moment before walking to Qiao Shunchen's side.
"Who is this"
Qiao Yu opened her mouth and asked.
She is Wenwen's younger sister, named Qin Jingyi.
Joe Shunchen spoke first, then introduced his sister.
"This is my older sister, her name is Qiao Yu."
Qin Jingyi quickly got up and politely greeted Qiao Yu.
"Hello sister, I am Qin Jingyi."
"Hello hello, please sit down."
Joe spoke gently, surprised by how different Qin Jingyi and Qin Jingwen looked. Though both were beautiful and elegant, they possessed entirely distinct types of beauty. If not for Joe Shunchen's introduction, Joe wouldn't have believed they were sisters.
"Sister, I'm not sitting anymore, I have an appointment with my classmates. Sister and Brother Joe chat slowly, I'll go back first."
Qin Jingyi finished speaking, a serene smile graced her lips before she turned and left.
Just as Qin Jingyi left, Qiao Yu took out her phone and started looking for something.
"What are you looking for"
Qiao Shunchen asked curiously.
"Photos, pictures from when I was younger."
Qiao Yu answered, without stopping the searching motion of her hands.
You are not old now, you are still young.
Joe Shun-chen jokingly said he didn't understand why his sister wanted to look at photos from her youth.
"Shunchen, look at this. This is my picture when I was twenty. Don't I look like it"
Qiao Yu finally found the photo and handed it to Qiao Shunchen.
What's it like
Jo Shunchen asked inexplicably.
"Like Qin Jingyi, you say I should have looked like the current Qin Jingyi when I was twenty"
Qiao Yu explained that the reason she was stunned when she first saw Qin Jingyi was because Qin Jingyi looked just like her.
"You know, the first time I saw Jingyi, I thought she looked just like you. It's not surprising, you two might be just typical faces, so that's why you look alike."
Joe Shunchen had long since gotten used to it and didn't take it seriously at all.
"Don't you feel like it too, when I see her, I feel like I'm back to when I was twenty"
Qiao Yu didn't think she was a common face, if she was, it was the refined kind. Especially after seeing Qin Jingyi, she was even more confident in her own beauty.
However, it is rare for someone to look this much like a real person.
"Sis, are you looking for me"
Qiao Shunchen broke the topic with a single sentence.
"Oh, you didn't ask, and I forgot."
With Qiao Shunchen's question, Qiao Yu also changed the subject.
"Dad has been unhappy these days, I don't know why. He doesn't eat much either. I said to him that he might be sick and I want to take him to the hospital, but he said he's fine. Do you know what's wrong with him"
Qiao Yu couldn't figure out a way at home, so she came to ask Qiao Shunchen.
I'm not going back, how would I know what he's up to You figure out a way to ask. I have another meeting to get to.
When it came to his father, Qiao Shunchen still felt resistant, but he was also restless inside.
Joe Shunchen left the office directly after he finished speaking, leaving Qiao Yu alone.
Qiao Yu pulled her thoughts back to Qin Jingyi.
Qin Jingwen had a younger sister, and she knew her aunt. But she never expected her sister to look so much like herself. Could two people with no blood relation really look this alike
On Sunday, Qin Jingwen needed to work overtime for a day, so she left her two children at home under the care of her aunt and Jingyi.
"Auntie, we want to go to grandpa's house in the suburbs. Can you take us there"
The two children learned from their last mistake and this time they didn't sneak away.
"Aunt's not feeling well, can we go next week instead"
Qin Lan would never see Grandpa Xuan again. Seeing him once had already shattered her body and mind, seeing him again would mean death.
Then I'll call grandpa and have Grandpa Zhou pick me up.
Huanhuan and Ban Yue had already made plans, they absolutely had to see Grandpa today because they couldn't wait any longer.
Joe hung up the phone after he finished speaking, afraid that his great-aunt would object.
"Grandpa, Half-Moon and I miss you. Can Grandpa Zhou come pick us up"
Xuanxuan's voice caught Qin Lan's attention, but it was too late to stop him.
"Okay, Grandpa Zhou goes downstairs to make a phone call and my sister and I will go down."
According to Qiao Zixuan, he must have made arrangements with his grandfather.
Qin Lan didn't say anything, she just wouldn't let her see Qiao Liang. She wouldn't stop the child from seeing her grandfather.
After about half an hour, Qiao Zixuan's phone rang. Qin Lan didn't feel comfortable letting the two children go down alone, so she asked her studious daughter Qin Jingyi to take them down.
"Auntie, I can go for a walk too if you want."
Qin Jingyi discussed with Qin Lan.
Just don't go, don't cause trouble for others anymore. You have a lot of homework to do, so just study at home.
If it were before, Qin Lan would definitely not object, but now she can't. After knowing that Qiao Liang was Xuan Xuan's grandfather, Qin Lan couldn't let the relationship between the two families get too close.
"Alright, I hear you."
Qin Jingyi was a little disappointed, but she felt what her aunt said made sense, so she decided to study at home in the end.
Zhou Zhi drove two children straight to the suburbs, Qiao Liang also stood in the yard waiting.
The car drove smoothly into the courtyard, and the two children ran to Qiao Liang as soon as they saw him.
"Grandpa... Grandpa..."
Unable to hold back her tears of grievance any longer after half a month, she burst into sobs as she ran.
"Grandpa... Grandpa..."
Joe stared, feeling both heartbroken and confused. He didn't know what was going on, but the child's tearful plea made him feel flustered.
"Don't cry for half a month, what's wrong"
Joe embraced Half Moon.
"Grandpa, Daddy is getting married. Daddy has a girlfriend, and he doesn't want me and my brother anymore."
For so many days, she had endured the heartache of crying like this. Ever since she began waiting anxiously for her father's message, she had been holding back her tears. If her father gave her a perfect answer, she would take these tears back.
But after waiting so many days, even with Granny helping, there was still no result. Half-Moon collapsed the moment she saw Grandpa.
"Grandpa, please help us. We don't want Dad to get married. We don't want to be unwanted children."
Xuan Xuan also walked to Qiao Liang's side, without giving herself a chance to breathe, she directly expressed her thoughts.
"Grandpa, we've always been different from other children. Even though Mom and Dad are both here now, we still can't have a complete family. All Half-Moon and I ask is for five years. In five years, Dad can get married, and Mommy can too. By then, I'll be older and able to take care of Half-Moon."
Huaxuan repeated his thoughts, he simply wanted a complete home.
For other children, it's a simple and natural thing, but for him, it's so difficult.
If Daddy gets married this time and has his own baby, I'm afraid he and Half-Moon will probably never experience what it's like to have a home and parents in their lifetime.
"Xue-Xue, is this why you came to find grandpa"
Qiao Liang's heart was churning with the words of his two children, as if it were being burned by fire.
"Yeah, Moon and I are out of options. It's going to take five years before Dad even considers it. I'll have to go to Grandpa."
Joe Xu looked at Joe Liang with boundless anticipation, tears welling up in his eyes, but he was holding them back.
"Grandpa, you won't be watching me and my brother become orphans. Talk to Dad, if you really hate us and my brother, then we'll just leave."
Half Moon was so wronged, she couldn't stop sniffling and crying as she spoke.
"I ran away from home with my sister. I'll beg for money even if I have to, just to raise her."
Qiao Zixuan also began to threaten them, saying that if they didn't say it like this, they wouldn't be able to attract the attention of the adults.
"Xuan Xuan, don't say things like that. Grandpa won't let you become orphans. Even if your parents abandon you, you still have Grandpa. He won't let you go begging."
Qiao Liang's heart was broken, because of the grievances of two children, because of the pitifulness of two children.
They're right, I never had a complete family growing up. Now that there's a chance, it's being taken away. Any other child wouldn't accept this.
Although Qiao Liang had thought the child would object, he hadn't expected such strong resistance. It seemed that Qin Lan had mentioned this to him that day.
"Grandpa, I want to live with Daddy and Mommy. I want my own home."
Half Moon was crying more and more heartbrokenly, her sobs so intense that it made breathing difficult.
"Don't cry, Half Moon. Grandpa will help you. Grandpa will definitely help you."
If Qiao Liang says anything, the children will plead with him like this. He can't just ignore them and do his work, can he
Such a sad and heartbreaking scene happened to be seen by Qiao Shunchen.
He and Qiao Yu had just entered the hospital when they saw this scene. Looking at the pitiful appearance of the two children, his heart completely collapsed.
He strode over to the child and picked him up.
"Daddy…"
Huxin was a little surprised, and Half Moon didn't expect Dad to appear at this time.
"Daddy..."
Ban Yue trembled, calling out to Qiao Shunchen.
"Don't cry anymore, Daddy wants to have a good talk with you all."
Qiao Shunchen persuaded the two children and then led them into the house.ou gave me is in the bag, and so is the diary. 。Please help me stick this note to my diary and write down everything that happened today. 。"Qin Jingwen turned her head to look at Qiao Shunchen, he wa...
