Chapter 417: No Right to Complain

ir heart was not with them. 。The phone was by her side, and in her hand she held the pendant that Xue Yao had given her. For some reason, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. 。But just th...Qin Jingwen's unintentional question unexpectedly yielded two answers, which surprised Qin Jingwen.

At this time, Qiao Liang stood up calmly, a faint friendly smile on his face, and spoke in a calm and steady voice. 。"Nice to meet you, I met you last time when I came to pick up the kids." 。" Qiao Liang must correct himself because he saw the panic on Qin Lan's face. " 。"Once I've seen them, I forget all about them." 。Qin Lan answered awkwardly and flustered, she was usually a composed person, but Qiao Liang's sudden appearance caught her off guard, making her forget what composure even meant. 。"Today, let's formally get acquainted, Auntie. This is Xuxu and Ban Yue's grandfather." 。Qin Jingwen continued to introduce, and the doubts she had just now also ended with Qiao Liang's explanation. 。Qin Lan awkwardly introduced himself, afraid that Qin Jing and Qin Jingyi would notice something amiss. 。"Hello, I'm Qin Lan" 。"Hello, I am Qiao Liang" 。Joe's introduction was also very brief. He thought that since the two of them were so familiar, it was just a formality, just to deceive a few children. 。Please sit down first, I'll go to the kitchen to cook. 。Qin Lan didn't beat around the bush, finding an excuse to leave as quickly as possible. 。At this time, Qin Jingwen hurriedly opened her mouth to instruct her aunt. 。"Auntie, Uncle Qiao is having dinner at our house, prepare some extra..." 。" Good... Good " 。Qin Lan was about to collapse. At this time, he couldn't refuse and even less could he drive the person away. 。It seems she has to face Qiao Liang at every meal. She really doesn't know how to swallow her food. 。Uncle is drinking tea 。At that time, Qin Jingyi brought the tea over and placed it in front of Qiao Liang. 。"Jing Yi, you stay and chat with Uncle. I'll go to the kitchen to help Auntie cook." 。After making the arrangements, Qin Jingwen hurried to the kitchen to help. 。Only two children and two adults were left in the living room. 。"Jing Yi, are you having a happy New Year at your relatives' house in City A" Qiao Liang intentionally found a topic to chat with Qin Jing Yi. 。"I'm quite happy, but it's not my home, so I feel a little restrained. " 。Next year, no matter how much Aunt insists, my sister and I won't go out. We will spend the New Year at our own home. 。There's no place like home. 。This is Qin Jingyi's most genuine feeling since the start of this new year. 。No matter where you are, nothing compares to the feeling of being safe and comfortable in your own home. 。Don't go to Uncle's house for the next New Year, no matter where you go. His family is very lively. 。Hearing Qin Jingyi's words, Qiao Liang's heart ached. 。If she were truly his own daughter, would he, with all his guilt, have the face to acknowledge her 。"Thank you, Uncle. As long as Aunt agrees, we'll definitely go." 。My aunt is like the old emperor, no matter what she says, my sister and I have to obey unconditionally. 。" Qin Jingwen joked, actually her aunt never interfered with their freedom, as long as it was within the principles. 。"It's good that you two sisters are obedient. Your aunt is very happy to have the two of you." 。“ Qiao Liang said, looking towards the kitchen direction, it seemed that everyone in this family was not living an easy life. 。"To have an aunt is our happiness, without an aunt my sister and I probably wouldn't have made it. " 。Aunt is the person my sister and I are eternally grateful for, so we've never made her angry. 。" Qin Jingyi's talk unexpectedly became more frequent. These were things she never easily shared with outsiders. Today, she felt that Uncle Qiao was particularly kind and amiable, like a family member, so she spoke a few more words. 。"You and your sister are both well-behaved children, and I should also thank your aunt " 。" Qiao Liang was moved and spoke spontaneously, but left Qin Jingyi completely bewildered. " 。You don't need to thank me. 。Qin Jingyi smiled awkwardly, not understanding why Qiao Liang thanked her aunt. 。"Of course I have to thank you, it was your aunt who helped with half..." Qiao Liang said this, suddenly stopped. 。Realizing I might have said the wrong thing. 。Realizing Qin Jingyi might not know about Ban Yue's identity being revealed yet 。Then he paused for a moment and explained again. 。“Since it was your aunt who took care of Xuanxuan, of course I have to thank her.” 。"Oh, it's nothing. Xuanxuan is our child, and taking care of him is what we should do. You don't have to be so polite." 。Qin Jingyi only then understood what Qiao Liang meant by gratitude. 。"Jingyi, you've had a tough time these past years, haven't you" About Qin Jingyi, Qiao Liang wanted to know more... 。So I couldn't help but continue asking. 。Upon hearing Qiao Liang's question, Qin Jingyi let out a wry smile. 。When I was sick, it was very painful. Thankfully, my sister and aunt took such good care of me. Otherwise, I might still be a patient today. 。After I recovered, I devoted all my energy to studying, hoping that I could succeed and help my sister and aunt out of their difficulties. 。Learning is also a very tiring thing, it's boring and you must be patient to persevere. 。But there's no reason for a family like ours not to persevere, and I put in way more effort than anyone else. 。"Learning although not the only way in life, I feel it is the shortcut to change one's life. 。Compared to other people my age, my life has definitely been more difficult. But my older sister and aunt have had it even harder than me, so I have no right to complain. 。Qin Jingyi spoke in one breath, saying many things she had always kept buried in her heart. She had never said them to her aunt or sister. 。

fearing I might cause them unnecessary trouble

"Good child, this is a good child" 。Your aunt and sister have always been proud of you, and you are sure to have a bright future. 。Joe Liang’s heartache was beginning to show in his eyes. The more he heard, the more he felt that he had let down the Qin family, Qin Lan, and especially Qin Jingyi. 。If he had been able to break free from his father's constraints back then and properly handle this love triangle, perhaps everything that happened to the Qin family would have been avoided. 。"If I don't work hard, my aunt and sister will have even less hope. 。I'm just doing my best to help them, the hardest part is still them. 。Without them, I might have been reunited with my parents now. 。" Qin Jingyi felt a little sad, Qiao Liang quickly comforted her. 。"Well, I'm in a good mood today, so let's not talk about parents." 。When you are capable, then you can properly filial piety to your aunt. 。" Qiao Liang quickly ended the sad conversation, afraid that Qin Jingyi would break down emotionally if she continued talking, and afraid that Qin Lan would blame him. 。After chatting randomly for a while, dinner began. 。Jiao Liang and Qin Lan sat face to face, which made Qin Lan very uncomfortable. 。And Qin Jingyi sat beside Qiao Liang, and the two faces that were very similar made Qin Lan's heart uncomfortable. 。"Uncle, please don't be polite. Let's begin." 。Qin Jing greeted warmly, and then Qiao Liang began to eat without being polite. 。The moment the first bite reached his mouth, he couldn't stop feeling a deep sense of sadness. 。Still that taste, a taste not tasted in twenty years, a taste I have longed for all these twenty years. 。When he was with Qin Lan, they never went out to eat. Qin Lan always cooked for him. 。But he never expected that he hadn't eaten it in twenty years. 。"Delicious, your aunt is very good at cooking." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! 。" Qiao Liang couldn't help but praise, at this moment he felt like he was back many years ago, feeling the happiness that came from the taste. 。"How did Uncle know it was Auntie who made it It could have been Sister, too." 。“

Qin Jingyi was puzzled again

"Oh…" Qiao Liang was suddenly stunned by Qin Jingyi's question, and then explained 。"I've eaten your sister's cooking before, it's not the same taste as today." 。I think this kind of delicious and aromatic dish can only be made by a master chef. 。" Qiao Liang was joking, trying to ease his own awkwardness and prevent Qin Lan's emotions from becoming more tense. 。"Uncle, you're such a talker! You have such good taste!" 。These are indeed made by my aunt. 。Qin Jingyi's doubts were once again dispelled. Although she felt that Uncle Qiao was not as calm and composed as usual today, it was understandable that he might be a little restrained when meeting her aunt for the first time. This is human nature after all. 。This meal, to exaggerate a little bit, might be the most flavorful and memorable meal Qiao De Xiang has had in all these years. 。Although Qin Lan could be seen to be constantly nervous and cautious, he still felt a different kind of happiness. 。After Qiao Liang left, Qin Jingwen sent the two children back to their rooms to review their homework. She and her aunt, Jingyi, chatted about Ban Yue in the living room. 。"Do you mean Qiao Ge's grandfather wants to take back custody of both children" Before she could even finish speaking, Qin Jingyi was no longer calm. 。 。"It's not a matter of wanting to, but that the child is no longer allowed back here." 。What you are seeing now is what Uncle Joe worked hard to achieve. 。He disregarded Qiao Shunchen's grandfather's objections and insisted on taking the child out every day. He would send him back every evening, and during the day when I was at work, he would take him away. 。Qin Jingwen explained the current situation, which was also the reason she had always been grateful to Qiao Liang. 。"Uncle Qiao's grandfather is too domineering, he's over ninety years old, how can he even control his great-grandson" 。We really can't afford to hurt people like that. 。Qin Jingyi immediately disliked Qiao Shunchen's grandfather, thinking that someone so old shouldn't act like a tyrant making unilateral decisions. 。"No way, being dominant for a lifetime also comes with the ability to be arbitrary." 。If something doesn't go his way, he would rather destroy it than let it succeed. 。Qin Jingwen considered herself to have a good understanding of Qiao Dexiang. It wasn't that she had done any investigation, nor was it from personal experience. 。He has been in control of the Qiao family for so many years, and Qiao Shunchen's obedience to him shows that he has a strong commanding ability. 。"It's too scary, sis, you better stay away from Brother Qiao. Don't risk your life with them." 。"

Qin Jingyi just listening felt too scary, such people are really not suitable for their commoners >>> 。It's incredible that the joys, sorrows, and anger of a whole family are controlled by someone out of touch with society. It's best to stay away from such situations. 。However, for everything about the Qiao family, for Qiao Dexiang's domineering and autocratic rule, Qin Lan had long understood. He just didn't expect Qin Jingwen to be involved with the Qiao family either. 。"I'd love to cut ties with them, but I have two kids and how clean can it really be" 。" Qin Jingwen looked helpless, sighed and continued. 。If time could go back, I wouldn't have chosen Qiao Shunchen to be a surrogate. If I had known things would develop into this situation where it's impossible to extricate myself, I shouldn't have come back at all. 。But all these are just words, who can go back in time 。"Fate has it that you must bear these, no matter how hard you try to avoid them." 。If we hadn't gone through surrogacy, we wouldn't have been able to afford your mother's hospital bills, and Jing Yi's illness wouldn't have received timely treatment. 。If he doesn't come back, how will you meet XuanXuan How can you save XuanXuan from suffering 。If you don't come back, little Xuen will be tortured to death. 。 ", said he would be back before work." 。While helping to prepare lunch, Zhou Zhiyi answered . 。"To a convalescent home, so urgently"Joe Shunchen was a bit puzzled. How could his father go out during t...
