Chapter 1279: Interconnected Events >
returned here. It was also the first time she dared to face it. 。"Sister, our home hasn't changed at all. It would be so great if Mom and Dad were still alive." 。”He mustered the courage to speak of..."Auntie, work is too busy, not all of it is quiet and relaxing things"
"Don't worry about me, work being busy is temporary. Once we leave this place completely I'll be able to relax." 。"Qin Jingwen comforted her aunt in return, shouldering the burden alone." 。Although it has gone through unimaginable difficulties over the years, it should be more immune than anyone else. 。But recently, one after another troubles plagued Qin Jingwen. Even though she tried to control them, she still felt exhausted and overwhelmed. She felt as if these things were going to torture her to death. 。The worst part is that I can't tell anyone, and definitely not let Joe Shunchen see the joke. 。Hang in there, hold on until you explode and blow her to smithereens. At that point, you won't have to care about anyone's feelings or be afraid of being laughed at by anyone. 。"Wenwen, how long will it take you to finish your business We... what time can we leave"Qin Lan tentatively asked, although he didn't know how much business Qin Jingwen had to handle, he wanted to know how determined Qin Jingwen was to leave. 。Qin Jingwen fell silent, her hand picking up vegetables also stopped. 。If all these things are solved after walking, it might take several years. 。But let go of everything, and you can leave tomorrow. 。Then Qin Jingwen began to ask herself, should she give up on those things "Aunt, it's hard to say" 。"I want to investigate the car accident my parents were in again. If I leave, it will be hard to investigate. Unless I give up." 。From beginning to end, Qin Jingwen never told her aunt the details of this matter. But at this moment, Qin Jingwen couldn't make up her mind and didn't know whether she should continue telling about it. 。"Accident Shouldn't it be as simple as finding the person responsible and having them pay compensation" "We've been trying to do that, but without the person showing up, there's nothing we can do." 。I don't think this matter will affect our departure, and moving to another city won't affect the compensation either. 。Qin Lan's speech sped up a little, and his expression became slightly panicked. 。Qin Lan knew about the car accident and that Qiao Shunchen was the one who received compensation, so she said those words. 。"Auntie, car accidents aren't that simple. I suspect now it wasn't just an accident, it was intentional." 。Qin Jingwen still decided to tell her aunt and ask her aunt to help make a decision, whether this matter should continue 。"Artificial What do you mean Do you think it was Joe... Do you think the other party's car deliberately hit ours" Qin Lan panicked, so panicked that he almost blurted out Qiao Shunchen's name. 。She didn't expect Qin Jingwen to suspect the nature of the car accident, and she didn't expect the unexpected to become man-made. 。"It's not the other car's fault, the other car is also a victim." 。I suspect my dad's car was tampered with, which led to the accident. 。"
"Quietly…"
Qin Jingwen looked at her aunt's flustered expression and quickly explained to her aunt..." 。She told her aunt everything she knew about the accident, and what Jingyi remembered. 。"Could this be true Were your parents framed"Qin Lan's mind went blank, she didn't know how to react, as if what she heard was the truth. 。"Aunt, I want to investigate this matter, but it's going to be difficult and take a lot of time. " 。If I continue the investigation, I won't be able to leave for a while. 。"If I don't investigate, it feels like my parents died unjustly. And if I investigate and clear things up, the compensation shouldn't be ours to pay." 。"That means even if it cost 80 million, we wouldn't have to compensate. We just settle one thing and everything else will become clear. " 。"What should I do" Qin Lan's brain was still muddled, incapable of offering any advice. 。And with the car accident being reinvestigated, Joe Shun-chen and the others are definitely going to be implicated. 。But even without an investigation, Qin Lan felt that her brother and sister-in-law's deaths were unjust. 。"Wen Wen, who could have possibly harmed your parents" Qin Lan asked a question with no answer. 。"I don't know, I was studying abroad at the time and didn't know anything about what was going on at home." 。I also want to ask you if you know. 。Even if Qin Jingwen had even a little bit of a clue, she would have reopened the case. Why wait until now, why go through this helpless agony 。"I don't know either, I wasn't home at the time." 。Qin Lan couldn't think of it for a moment, but at that time she was missing, and she didn't know anything about what was happening at home. 。"Aunt, should we continue to investigate this" Qin Jingwen clearly sought her aunt's opinion. 。"First, have a meal. Let me think about this properly." 。Qin Lan couldn't give an answer for a moment, and she was also struggling with how to deal with this matter. 。After dinner, Qin Jingwen returned to her room to continue the work she hadn't finished today. Qin Lan, on the other hand, washed dishes while thinking about what Qin Jingwen had said. 。If there's a need to re-investigate, it would involve Joe Shunchen, and that means the matter from over twenty years ago couldn't be kept hidden any longer. 。If it's not investigated, neither Qin Jingwen nor Qin Jingyi, nor herself, will be willing to accept it. 。It seems like I can't leave for now. As Joe said, everything is interconnected and we can't just walk away from it all. We can't pretend nothing happened. 。There's a car accident involved, and the connection between Qin Jing and Qiao Shunchen can't be severed cleanly. How long can they possibly hide their past twenty-plus years of entanglement 。Qin Jingwen returned to her bedroom to work, but soon received a message from Qiao Shunchen. 。"Half-moon came back to see the child " 。"Seeing this information, Qin Jingwen immediately panicked. Work certainly couldn't continue. " 。So he packed up his things, told his aunt goodbye, and left. 。Arriving at the house near the elementary school, Qin Jingwen felt a tinge of emotion. 。The correct way to say it is that this is no longer her home, but Qiao Shunchen's. 。And her appearance, neither guest nor hostess, as for how to position herself, she could only be said to be the child's mother. 。Qin Jing gently pushed the door open and as she changed her shoes, she heard a conversation between Qiao Shunchen and Ban Yue. 。In the living room, Qiao Shunchen sat on the sofa, holding the sick Ban Yue in his arms. The father and daughter were chatting. 。"Daddy, are you and Mommy really going to separate this time" Half-moon had been worrying about this for ages, but today she finally couldn't help asking. 。"Don't overthink it, it's fine." 。Joe Shunchen's answer was vague. For now, he and Qin Jingwen might not be separated, but there would come a day when they had to declare their identities and stand on opposite sides. 。Once everything is revealed, whether it's together or apart, both children will eventually face this issue. 。
Right now, only because the child is sick, Qiao Shunchen can't bear to give the child an accurate answer.
But Mommy has been gone for days, and she hasn't come back. 。"Isn't this a breakup then"
"Dad, can we please not break up My brother and I don't want to choose between you and Mom." 。"
Ban Yue has her own thoughts, and her mother has already made it clear, so her father's answer cannot put her mind at ease. " 。Half a month, Dad asked you a question 。"If your mom and dad had to separate, who would you choose" Joe Shunchen asked Ban Yue, although he knew this question was cruel for a child, he needed to know Ban Yue's thoughts, so he could mentally prepare himself. 。"I... I..." Ban Yue was in a difficult position. She wanted to choose to be with her parents, but there wasn't that option among the choices her father had given her. 。 "Daddy, I'm afraid to be with you, I'm afraid of being abused by stepmother." 。This was the most sensible answer that Ban Yue could come up with, although it meant not choosing her father. She thought this way her father would feel better. 。"Aren't you afraid of being abused by your stepfather if you're with your mom"Joe Shunchen understood the child's answer, after all, Song Yien had abused Qiao Zixuan was a real thing. 。"Mom won't, Mom will never marry for the rest of her life for us." 。Even if she gets married, she will still put us at the center and won't let us suffer any injustice. 。“ This is what she meant when she said it directly. She believes deeply that her mother can do it.” 。"Dad can too, for you two, Dad can stay single his whole life, just to watch over the both of you" 。"So would you choose Dad"
Joe Shunchen also put his words into action. He could do anything Qin Jingwen could do.
As long as the child is happy, as long as the child stays with him, he can sacrifice a lifetime of happiness. 。Just as Half Moon was once again struggling, Qiao Zixuan walked over with medicine. 。"Daddy, this is also cold medicine " 。I've taken the fever reducer for a while, can I also take this cold medicine 。Joe Hsueh said and just handed the medicine to his father, asking him to take a look. 。He heard what his father and Ban Yue said, and he came over to interrupt them so quickly because he didn't want Ban Yue to have a choice. 。Mom never married, he believed she could do it, but his father's duty was too heavy, even though he promised to remain unmarried for life, it was impossible. 。So, no matter what Dad says, Qiao Zixuan's choice is Mom, and she has to take her sister with her. 。“Let me take a look at how much you eat” 。Joe Shunchen took the medicine Qiao Zixuan handed him and looked seriously at the instructions. 。At this time, Qin Jingwen, who had been standing at the doorway, also walked over. 。"How are you doing, Ban Yue" Qin Jingwen asked with concern. 。 "Mommy 。Hearing her mother's voice and seeing her mother, Ban Yue felt so wronged that she almost cried. 。"Mom, look, is your fever still there" Qin Jingwen used her hand to gently touch Ban Yue's forehead to roughly test her temperature. 。"Well, I don't think I have a fever now." 。Qin Jingwen felt a little relieved. 。Compared to feeling reassured about Qin Jingwen's half-month, what brought her greater comfort was Qiao Shunchen saying that he would remain unmarried for the sake of the child. 。Qin Jingwen could see that Qiao Shunchen was sincere in his care for the children, and she could tell he truly loved them. 。With his words, Qin Jingwen felt that it was safe to leave alone. 。"I had a fever reducer and it brought down my fever temporarily, but I don't know how long it will last." 。" Qiao Shunchen explained the situation, and his tone was still normal. " 。This is also the warmest sentence Qin Jingwen has heard from Qiao Shunchen since his sudden change. 。Maybe the child is right here. Jo Shunchen should give her some face for the sake of the child. 。"Let me take care of her. If she's still feverish later, I'll take her to the hospital." 。Qin Jingwen didn't want to cause trouble for Qiao Shunchen, and she also hoped that the two of them could leave the living room. Otherwise, this kind of interaction made her very uncomfortable. 。"Take this medicine first, see how much you take, and I'll get some water." 。Qiao Shunchen said, putting down the half-moon and then getting up to find water. 。"Half-month, is there anything else uncomfortable"Qin Jingwen asked carefully while sitting down at the same time. 。"It's just dizziness, nothing else." 。"Mom, have you been busy these days Why haven't you come back to see us" 。"e not even think about how Qin Jingyi has managed to last until now. 。He couldn't accept such injustice, no wonder Qin Lan's emotions collapsed, no wonder he said he didn't deserve to be Qin Jingyi's...
