Qin Jingwen went home from work early and, together with Zhou Shuen, prepared a sumptuous dinner for Uncle Qiao. 。"Uncle, dinner is ready!" Qin Jingwen happily called out to Qiao Liang. 。Okay, let's eat. 。"

Qiaoliang responded, then walked towards the dining hall with Zhou Zhi.

" 。"Uncle, today I made all your favorites." 。Thanks for your hard work today, here's a little something to make up for it. 。Qin Jingwen was setting the table while chatting with Qiao Liang. 。When Uncle Qiao came back, she was especially happy, feeling like a father had returned to her side. 。There's one more thing she's really looking forward to, which is for Qiao Shunchen and Qiao Liang to have a good talk. 。"Thank you, Wenwen. You've worked hard." 。" Qiao Liang said politely, looking at the full table of his favorite dishes, and feeling truly moved from the heart. 。"It would be even better if you could call me Dad." 。" Qiao Liang couldn't help but remind, one is that he truly likes the child Qin Jingwen, and the other is that he thinks that if Qiao Shunchen and Qin Jingwen get married, things will be easier to solve. " 。"It's also good to call him uncle, it doesn't affect anything." 。Qin Jingwen reacted quickly and responded to Qiao Liang's reminder. 。She knew everyone was anxious, even Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou hoped they would get married soon. 。But under the current circumstances, I'm afraid that even if we got married, it wouldn't be peaceful. 。Joe Shun-chen is right, we should resolve everything as soon as possible and then live a peaceful and stable life after the marriage. 。"Okay, nothing affects..." 。" By the way, has Jing Yi not returned yet?" Qiao Liang had been thinking about Qin Jing Yi all day and wanted to see his daughter. 。"Jing Yi has class tonight and will be back later. " 。Uncle, let's eat first and we won't wait for her. 。Qin Jingwen contacted Qin Jinyi, but Qin Jinyi had something to do, she couldn't force her. 。"Jing Yi, has it been tiring learning for you lately? Tell her to take care of herself no matter how tired she gets." 。A healthy body is the foundation for a bright future. 。Just thinking about Qin Jingyi's hard work made Qiao Liang feel heartache. Back then, Qiao Shunchen and Qiao Yu didn't try as hard as Qin Jingyi. 。"Well, I often tell her 。"Uncle, let's eat first. Zhou Shu, please sit down too." 。"Shunchen, why don't you call the children to dinner?" Qin Jingwen greeted everyone while keeping an eye on her two children. 。He called, washed his hands in the room, and came down immediately. 。" Don't hurry, come sit down and have a meal with me. 。" Qiao Shunchen said that and sat down with Zhou Zhi together. 。"Dad, how did the follow-up results go today?" Joe Shunchen had just returned for a while and hadn't had time to ask his father. Sitting at the dinner table, he began to inquire. 。"Pretty good, Xiaosong said the recovery is going well." 。You don't have to worry anymore, your body has fully recovered this time. 。"

Qiao Liang told Qiao Shunchen about his situation. He didn't expect to recover so quickly either. " 。It seems that Gu Yue's recovery is inseparable from Qin Lan's meticulous and careful care. 。"It's good that it's back." 。" Qiao Shunchen had been thinking about it all day, luckily the result was comforting. " 。"Uncle, since your body has recovered, why don't we take the kids to play tennis this weekend?" 。I heard from Shunchen that you play tennis very well. Maybe you and your father can have a friendly match. 。Qin Jingwen put the last dish in place and also gave a suggestion. 。She wanted to seize every opportunity, so that the two of them could chat without any awkwardness. 。"Okay, that's a good idea." 。。Joe readily accepted, and as for how many years he hadn't played tennis, he didn't seem to remember. But he remembered the scene of playing tennis with Joe Shunchen when he was a child. 。The scene was too intimate, causing Qiao Liang to feel a pang of sadness even thinking about it. 。Let's eat, let's eat. After we eat, we'll go to the living room and chat. 。" He greeted everyone. As for playing tennis with his father, he was also looking forward to it, after all, there hadn't been such an opportunity in over 20 years. 。After dinner, the family sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting. 。Qin Jingwen had always been looking forward to a conversation between her father and son about the past, but neither of them wanted to reminisce. Instead, they talked about company business. 。Joe Shun-chen didn't show any interest at all, as if he had never agreed to Qin Jingwen. 。Qin Jingwen thought, wouldn't it be that Qiao Shunchen was afraid the topic would affect the child if there were children. 。Then Qin Jingwen took the two children upstairs, giving Qiao Shunchen and Qiao Liang some private space. 。"Having studied for half a month, we went upstairs to review our homework. 。Qin Jingwen left with her two children, still glancing back at the father and son in the living room. 。I wonder if Qiao Shunchen will make good use of the opportunities I've helped create. I wonder if Qiao Shunchen can have an honest and open conversation with his father. 。At this time, only the father and son were left in the living room. 。"Dad, are you still going to recuperate even though your body has recovered?" 。"Go, I've grown accustomed to being there, it's quite comfortable." 。" Without even thinking, Qiao Liang gave a positive answer. " 。Qin Lan is at the "Sanatorium", how could he possibly not go? 。"Now your relationship with Wenwen has stabilized, and the children are also well taken care of. I feel very at ease outside." 。You've been handling everything at the company very well, and I don't need to help. 。So I want to continue my treatment. 。" Qiao Liang said these words because he truly trusted Qiao Shunchen, trusting that his son could manage both his relationships and his family well even without him. " 。"If you can help us pick up and drop off the kids at home, we'll feel a lot more relaxed." 。I think you're still at home. 。Chiao Shun-chen hoped his father would stay home because he worried that once his father went out, he would go look for that woman. 。"Where's your Uncle Zhou? He can do anything." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! 。"How about next week? I'm still going to be resting next week." 。 Qiao Liang also knew that he could help with some chores at home, making Qin Jing and Qiao Shunchen a little easier. 。But Qin Lan was alone there, he wasn't at ease. At this time, he wanted to spend more time with Qin Lan. 。"I'm not at home, but you also need to take good care of Jingyi, and don't let Wenwen worry too much." 。You are the man of the house, and you need to think things through. 。“As long as Qiao Shunchen takes good care of Qin Jingyi, Qiao Liang will be more at ease.” 。“I will take care of Jing Yi, you don't have to worry.” 。Even without his father's instructions, Qiao Shunchen would take care of Qin Jingyi. After all, they are family. 。"Dad, don't leave. 。I agree with you finding a partner and living a peaceful life together. 。I think Bi Xia's mother is pretty good, she's a nice person. 。"

Joe Shunchen didn't give Qiao Liang a chance to react and directly named all the candidates

" 。He said this in a roundabout way, telling his father that he did not accept Qin Lan. 。To be honest, Qiao Liang was a little taken aback by what Qiao Shunchen said. 。Then came complex psychological changes. 。If Qiao Shunchen recovered his memory, if Qiao Shunchen knew what happened before, he might even feel that his words were a sarcastic joke. 。"Shunchen, for over twenty years I haven't found a lover. You should know what I'm waiting for." 。My mother's choice of a partner is not someone I approve of, and I cannot be with her. 。Qiao Liang refused, he knew Qiao Shunchen was doing this because he still hated Qin Lan. 。 "You can't give up, can you?" Qiao Shunchen’s so-called giving up, both father and son knew exactly what it meant. 。But the father and son were unlikely to agree on this issue, at least not now. 。“I owe her, she has destroyed her entire life because of me, how can I give up” 。Shunchen, you must have a deep understanding now. You personally experienced the difficulties of being with Wenwen, so you should understand my feelings. 。" Qiao Liang responded to Qiao Shunchen with a grave expression. " 。No matter how good a woman is, none can compare to Qin Lan in his heart. His feelings for Qin Lan have remained unchanged for over twenty years and he couldn't possibly give up on her because of Qiao Shunchen's words. 。Gio Shun-chen sighed, lowering his head to stare at the teacup on the table without a word. 。He did understand his father in a certain specific environment, and he also knew that his behavior was selfish. He also knew that love doesn't easily transfer. 。But, he still couldn't accept Qin Lan for now. 。"Junchen, she isn't as terrible as you think, nor as hateful." 。Twenty years ago's matters have nothing to do with her, she was also deceived by me and a victim. 。 Qiao Liang had said these things to Qiao Shunchen before, but at that time, Qiao Shunchen probably couldn't hear a word. 。That's why he repeated it again. Qiao Liang thought that Qiao Shunchen's attitude had changed a little, and maybe this time he would put his heart into understanding it. 。She is a victim, but she is still alive. My mother, she is gone. 。"

Joe Shunchen also gave the same answer, and that's something he can't get over his whole life.

" 。However, this time his emotions were much better than before. There was no anger, no rage, just a quiet and composed expression of his thoughts as he lowered his head. 。"To be alive is worse than to be dead" 。Joe Liang thought so, at least Qiao Shunchen's mother and loved ones were together. She must be happy. 。

As for Qin Lan, although she is alive, the pain of enduring these past twenty years is something Qiao Shunchen can never truly understand.

。“She, like Wenwen, was ostracized by your grandfather and warned by him.” 。Back then, your grandfather's attitude was much worse than it is now. If you think about Wenwen, you can imagine how much she suffered. 。" Qiao Liang's so-called life worse than death refers to Qin Lan's painful life over the past twenty years. " Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。She was also suffering from psychological torture, burdened by guilt and remorse. 。Such pain lasted for more than twenty years and has never been understood by anyone to this day. 。On the other hand, one who made a mistake and pushed all the responsibility onto others had fulfilled all of her wishes. 。"You found her?" Joe Shunchen suddenly asked. 。His father's words reminded him of Qin Jingwen's experience. It was very possible that his grandfather would ruin any woman who stood in the way of the Qiao family's development. 。But there was another truth hidden in his father's words, that is, his father had already found that woman. 。 Qiao Liang was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment. 。Fortunately, Qiao Shunchen had been bowing his head all along, otherwise he would have had to tell the truth today. 。"We've heard from her. She's been single all these years and hasn't had any steady work." 。Qiao Liang couldn't reveal everything, but he also couldn't deny Qiao Shunchen's guess. 。Let it seep in a little, so Joe Shunchen can mentally prepare himself. 。"Dad, I can't accept her " 。Thinking about Mom dying like that, I can't just pretend nothing happened. 。“ Qiao Shunchen seemed to be afraid, afraid that his father's next step was to bring this woman back. 。Because of fear, they did not ask for clarification and directly denied the situation. 。Upon hearing Qiao Shunchen's words, he immediately got up and left. He couldn't continue this topic, for if he did, he feared he would soften his heart. 。Just because that woman and Wenwen were ruthlessly ostracized by Grandpa. 。
