Chapter 259: A Delayed Apology

ve-year-old child should have to carry."Mommy, my brother is so pitiful. His family has much better conditions than ours. Both his father and mother are there, but I feel he's not as happy as me."Ban...Although Qiao Liang had never been to Qin Jingwen's home, he knew they lived on that floor. 。Arriving at Qin Jingwen's doorstep, Qiao Liang pressed the doorbell. 。As soon as Qin Jingyi left, Qin Lan didn't even think and assumed it was Qin Jingwen who had forgotten something and come back to get it. So she directly opened the door. 。"You..." Just about to open his mouth to scold him, he realized that Qiao Liang was standing outside the door. 。"How did you get here" Qin Lan asked in surprise. 。"There are some things I need to tell you. " 。“ Qiao Liang spoke calmly, his face grave. 。At the sight of Qin Lan, he felt incredibly guilty and wanted to compensate her as much as possible. 。"That's the last time I'm saying it, you control your son, and I'll take care of my own children." 。"After Qin Lan finished speaking, he was about to close the door, but Qiao Liang stopped him. 。"I didn't finish speaking, and you didn't finish listening." 。Over all these years, we've both gotten older. I don't want this thing to continue weighing on your mind. 。"Let me in, it's not good if the neighbors see." 。" Qiao Liang insisted, saying that today he had finally mustered the courage to meet Qin Lan. Today was a rare opportunity for them to be alone together, and he had to tell her what he wanted to say. 。Qin Lan had no choice but to let Qiao Liang come in. 。After Qiao Liang came in, he found a place to sit down, while Qin Lan looked very unwilling. 。Whatever it is, just say it. 。Qin Lan spoke in a fierce voice. 。Seeing Qiao Liang would bring back everything that happened years ago, making him feel like a sinner. 。She had been tortured by this feeling for over twenty years, and it had pained her for over twenty years. 。Okay, I'm almost done. 。Qin Lan, before I say anything else, I still want to apologize to you. 。" Qiao Liang opened his mouth, his expression grave. 。"You don't owe me an apology, and you don't need to apologize to me." 。" Qin Lan, let me finish my words. 。"Back then, it was wrong of me not to tell you that I was married. But I absolutely didn't mean to deceive or mock you." 。”

Qiao Liang talked about something that happened over twenty years ago. At his age, it's indeed embarrassing to talk about love affairs now, but he had to say, all the mistakes were his fault. It had nothing to do with Qin Lan or Qiao Shunchen’s mother. >>> 。Back then, when I was in charge of the Qiao family, I had no right to choose my own marriage. Marrying Shunchen's mother was purely out of business interests. 。I don't have feelings for her, and she doesn't have feelings for me either. 。To be honest, after so many years of marriage, I don't really know what love is. 。Since I met you, I finally understand that love is a happy thing, and love is such a beautiful thing. 。So I selfishly didn't want to give you up, so I didn't tell you I was married. 。" Qiao Liang lowered his head after saying these frustrating words. These words had been hidden in his heart for over twenty years, tormenting him for more than twenty years. It was his selfishness that caused Qin Lan to lose her favorite job and give up her beloved family to move far away." 。He is the one who let a woman's best years be wasted on unrequited love, he loved but couldn't bear the responsibility. 。"You didn't tell me the truth, and I did hate you. " 。That was back then, now I don't hate it anymore. 。Since things have passed for so many years, there's no need to say or not say anything about it. 。I also can't shirk responsibility for this. If it weren't for me, your beloved wouldn't have...Qin Lan couldn't continue. Thinking about how their so-called love had led to the death of a young and vibrant life, she realized that all her grievances and justifications were insignificant. 。"No, I have to say these things." 。The death of my loved one has nothing to do with you. 。It was my wrong decision that made you blame yourself for life and plunged her into a painful marriage. 。"Qin Lan, her death really has nothing to do with you. It was her own doing." 。As for why I can't say, after all she's gone, I just don't have feelings for her, and I should respect her. 。Jo Liang’s face was full of sincerity, his words sounded like they came from the heart and there wasn't a single lie. 。It doesn't matter whose fault it is. We're all at an age where we've borne the consequences. Even if it had nothing to do with me, I was still a third party in this family and caused harm to the two children. 。Qin Lan didn't believe that Qiao Shunchen's mother's death had nothing to do with her. Until now, she still clearly remembered the two children coming to her crying sadly, and remembering the resentment in their eyes towards her. 。These images have affected her for over twenty years, how could they not be the truth 。She didn't refute Qiao Liang's words, she just didn't want the conversation to last longer. She just wanted Qiao Shunchen to say everything he wanted to say, and then never appear in front of her again. 。She was old, and she no longer had the experience to talk about things over twenty years ago with Qiao Liang. She just wanted to live a peaceful life for the rest of her days, wanting to live quietly and without making a sound with a heart full of atonement. 。 "The child didn't know anything back then, so they blamed everything on you. " 。The child is too young and naive, and there are some things I wouldn't tell them. 。Speaking of this, Qiao Liang stopped and spoke again, his voice even lower. 。"Speaking of this, I also want to apologize to you. It was my hiding that made the child hate you for so many years." 。The truth about their mother's death I have been concealing to this day, if I could I would rather let them hate me for a lifetime than tell them 。Then you'll have to bear that for the rest of your life. out and when she walked towards him, a smile appeared on his face that he hadn't shown in days. 。"Jìngyí, did this affect your studies" Qin Jìngyí hadn't even reached his side when he eagerly asked....
