Chapter 826: The First Time I Took the Initiative

.." Ye Wen privately still wanted to continue defending herself, but at this moment Qiao Shunchen took out his phone and made a call, almost immediately connecting. 。Come in 。" As soon as the voice...Su Qin still wanted to continue arguing, but Jonny interrupted her. She had no choice but to follow Jonny's lead. 。Okay, I'll cook. 。Su Qin didn't continue, but she would find another opportunity to discuss this next time. 。Jonny's company has always been mysterious and something she aspired to. 。If she saw his company, Su Qin would feel more at ease. 。 Qiao Shunchen was looking forward to Qin Jingwen coming back for the Mid-Autumn Festival. He felt that his relationship with his father had eased a bit, and Qin Jingwen might be happier when she returned. 。After dinner, I wanted to talk to my father. 。 Qiao Shunchen found his father in the pavilion in the courtyard. 。He walked up to his father's side, but he didn't know how to start the conversation. 。"Where's the child" 。 “Doing homework in the room” 。" He replied in a low voice, but his mind was still figuring out how to start the topic he didn't want to mention. " 。"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival. Will Wenwen be back" Qiao Liang has been thinking about Qin Jingwen all this time. If she could come back and bring Qin Jingyi with her, this Mid-Autumn Festival would be complete. 。She wasn't sure, now she wouldn't tell me anything. 。" Qiao Shunchen said he was miserable, the harder he tried, the further apart they became. " 。"Still no progress"Joe Liang hadn't inquired about Joe Shunchen and Qin Jingwen for a while, not because he didn't care, but because he believed they could handle things themselves. 。But after all this time, what he got was still disappointment. 。"No, she just won't forgive me" 。But you don't have to worry, I'll spend my whole life chasing her back. 。Joe Shun-chen had this confidence, and he must be full of confidence, otherwise Qin Jingwen would really distance herself from him. 。I'm afraid you'll waste your whole life, I'm afraid you'll be as lonely as me for a lifetime. 。“ Qiao Liang felt deeply, he knew how difficult it was to wait a lifetime, and how lonely it could be. 。So she didn't want Qiao Shunchen to be as lonely as him until the end of his days, and she didn't want Qiao Shunchen to spend his whole life waiting for happiness. 。Before, whenever Qiao Shunchen heard his father say this, hatred would fill his mind. But now, he felt a little understanding of how hard his father had worked for so many years. 。"Have you always...always had her in your heart all these years"Joe Shunchen asked this question, he felt particularly difficult, so difficult that he couldn't even say the woman's name. 。"Who You're talking about Qin Lan, right" Qiao Liang wasn't surprised that Qiao Shunchen had said someone’s name, he just found it particularly unexpected. 。For over twenty years, Qiao Shunchen had never once mentioned Qin Lan. 。Although he didn't say Qin Lan's name today, Qiao Liang was still a little excited. 。“ 對 。"Joe Shunchen answered coldly, this woman he hated, hated to the point of not wanting to remember, hated to the point that he didn't even want to hear her name. " 。"What you feel for Wenwen is what I feel for Qin Lan." 。"There's love, there's guilt. It's just that you're better than me. You have the chance to make amends with Wenwen, but I..."

His words trailed off, followed by a sigh of despair. >>>。You always say you owe her, but she's the third party. You owe it to your mother. 。Joe Shun-chen's heart ached, flipping back and forth. He was trying his best to restrain himself, if not for Qin Jingwen, he would have been furious long ago. 。"I've told you many times, I don't owe your mother anything." 。Let me tell you this one more time, I owe nobody in this life, especially not your mother. 。Joe Shun-chen endured, holding back his anger. But Joe Liang was somewhat agitated. 。He no longer had his previous patience, always fearing that time would run out, and always had an impulse to say what he truly thought. 。But at this moment, he was still wise, knowing that revealing the truth would cause greater harm to Qiao Shunchen and Qiao Yu. 。She died, for you and that third person. 。Even after all these years, why won't you admit that you were wrong 。Chiao Shun-chen didn't understand, and couldn't stand his father's such refusal. 。For so many years, I have been estranged from my father. However, I have always admired his character. 。He is not a man without responsibility, nor a man without a sense of duty. 。But he just couldn't understand why his father still didn't believe he had done anything wrong, even now that his mother was dead. 。"Then I ask you, am I the kind of person who wouldn't admit to being wrong" Joe Liang didn't answer, instead asking Joe Shunchen 。He can't be too direct with his words, he can only let Qiao Shunchen figure it out himself. 。This question stumped Qiao Shunchen, because the honesty in his father's eyes made his heart unexpectedly tighten. 。My father is not the type of person who won't admit his mistakes, so his meaning is that he did nothing wrong in this matter. 。But that's the way it is, of the three people involved, the father did nothing wrong. The blame lies with either the third party or his mother. 。However, what did his mother do wrong "Qin Lan is indeed, in a sense, a third party, after all, legally speaking, your mother and I are husband and wife" 。But I want to tell you that Qin Lan wasn't wrong either, she was deceived by me. 。" Qiao Liang repeated the facts once again, something he had said several times, but Qiao Shunchen never tried to look at the matter from a different angle. 。His deeply ingrained belief was that his mother's death in front of him, Qiao Liang and Qin Lan were at fault. 。"Well... you're not wrong, that woman isn't wrong, the blame lies with my mother..." 。Joe Shun-chen’s voice turned cold again, his father was just passing the buck, actually still had the nerve to say he was not wrong 。"Shunchen, listen carefully to me one more time," 。I was not wrong about what happened between me and your mother. I was wrong about what happened between me and Qin Lan. 。I am not sorry to your mother, the person I am sorry to is Qin Lan. 。Joe Liang's repression really wanted to be released all at once, he really wanted Qiao Shunchen to open his ears and listen to the truth. 。But thinking of his deceased wife, he buried all his impulses. 。"You've confused me. You three are the same thing, so why are you acting like this has nothing to do with my mom" 。" Qiao Shunchen still didn't understand, anger simmering just on the edge of bursting. " 。"To be precise, this is two things because your mother doesn't care at all that I'm looking for women outside." 。 Qiao Liang's answer shocked Qiao Shunchen. He stared at Qiao Liang with wide, incredulous eyes and glared furiously. 。You said she didn't care, how could he jump from the upstairs if he didn't care 。" Joe Shun-chen finally couldn't help but get angry. He had never imagined that his father would push responsibility away in such a way." 。Even though his mother has passed away, he is still blaming her for everything. It's disrespectful and unfair to her memory. 。"I can only tell you, it's not because of me, nor is it because of Qin Lan" 。" Shunchen, let me say this again 。The only victim in what happened between me and Qin Lan is Qin Lan. Your mother's death has nothing to do with me. 。Joe Liang was also excited, but he could still control the last line and keep his secret. 。"You…" Qiao Shunchen was so angry at his father's "passing the buck" that his hands were shaking, but instead of saying anything more harsh, he chose to turn and leave. 。He didn't utter more vicious words not because his reason still held, but because he couldn't bear to hurt his father. 。Even when he was furious and glaring, the wrinkles on his face couldn't be smoothed out. 。The occasional panting and coughs that could be heard during their conversation. 。All of this is stating one fact, that he is old, and he can't withstand the ravages of time, growing old little by little. 。After returning to his room, Qiao Shunchen was still angrily panting. 。I didn't know who to vent to, so I just called Qiao Yu. 。"I had an argument with him..." The phone rang, and Qiao Shunchen couldn't wait to tell her everything that just happened. 。Until he had said it all, the anger dissipated somewhat. 。"Sun Chen, Dad told me these same things a few days ago." 。I lost control of my attitude and had an argument with him. 。After listening to Qiao Shunchen's anger, Qiao Yu then calmly opened her mouth. 。I understand why Qiao Shunchen is angry, but I don't know why his father would say those things. 。"None of us understand why Dad is shirking responsibility, and we don't know..."Just as Qiao Yu continued speaking, a voice came from beside her, it was Jiang Kai. 。"Dad isn't the kind of person who shirks responsibility, it's you guys who jumped to conclusions and thought it was Dad's fault. " 。Isn't it too cruel to let Dad bear the consequences alone for this whole thing 。Mom is gone, you guys are all putting the blame on Dad. If it was Dad who jumped, would you also hate Mom for life 。"Jiang Kai's voice was loud and laced with emotion. " 。He heard everything that Qiao Shunchen and Qiao Yu just said. As he listened, he couldn't help but feel indignant inside. 。No wonder Qin Jingwen doesn't care about their business. They are fixated on this one thing, and Qin Jingwen knows it would be difficult to change their mind. 。"What do you mean by that" Qiao Yu was speaking. Qiao Yu was not pleased with Jiang Kai's emotions. 。" Qiao Yu, Shun Chen I know you heard what I said " 。I don't ask for anything else, just please don't look down on Dad like that. 。Try looking at it from a different angle, maybe things won't be the same. 。"Don't just blame Dad for not taking responsibility. Think about why he doesn't take it. " 。He is your father, you know better than I whether he has been responsible in his dealings with people. 。Jiang Kai's attitude had mellowed, but he was by no means changed his mind. He was simply afraid of Qiao Yu's emotional outburst. 。After Jiang Kai finished speaking, Qiao Yu and Qiao Shunchen both fell silent. 。They weren't thinking about anything else, only that an outsider would believe their father. Why should they doubt him 。Just because the mother left, is that a sign of weakness What if it was the father who left, would all the blame then fall on Qin Lan "Shunchen, no matter what, don't argue with Dad these days..." 。Dad has not been feeling well since he last had a cold. He always coughs. 。I told him to go to the hospital, but he refused, saying he was fine. 。So, for now, don't bring it up. Let him get better first and then we can talk to him together. 。After a period of silence, Qiao Yu gave such words: 。To be honest, Jiang Kai's words left her speechless. Even though their father was to blame for everything, it had been so many years; she should have let it go. 。That's what I thought, but it's really difficult to do. 。 Qiao Shunchen couldn't accept just hearing about what happened that year. If he knew his father was going to find Qin Lan, he would probably collapse. 。 Qiao Yu's reminder made Qiao Shunchen recall his father occasionally coughing during their conversations. He suddenly felt a pang of regret for his impulsiveness. 。"I understand, sis. Let's talk about this another time." 。After Qiao Shunchen hung up the phone, Qiao Yu sat there sighing non-stop. 。At this time, Jiang Kai began to play a role again. 。"Qiao Yu, the key to this matter is in you" 。First, figure out how you're going to do it. Wenwen on Shunchen's side will find a way. 。“n, Grandpa." 。"Half-Moon tried to please her grandfather, hoping she could win some opportunities for her mother. " 。“Alright, let Grandpa sit.” 。" Joe Xiang smiled and sat down. He had never...
