Qin Jingwen was stunned, unable to speak because of Qiao Shunchen's threat. 。As she watched Qiao Shunchen's receding figure, her tears abruptly stopped. 。What else is there? What else has she done to make Qiao Shunchen treat her like this? 。Can't you just say it directly? Will saying it directly kill you? 。 Qiao Shunchen's threats terrified Qin Jingwen. 。She wasn't afraid of being tortured herself, but she was afraid that her aunt and Jingyi would be dragged into it. 。She was not even afraid of death, but she feared losing her children. 。If you are afraid, then you must submit, you must obey his rule and continue to be tortured. 。Qin Jingwen stayed home alone for two days, not going out. Two days later, in the evening, she was called back by her aunt. 。Fortunately, her face has gone down, her eyes and throat are better, and the only thing left on her upper lip is a faint mark that's hard to notice. 。Qin Jingwen returned home, Qin Jingyi and her aunt were there, and dinner was also ready. 。The three people didn't say anything, finishing their dinner in silence. 。Both of you come to the living room, there's no need to clean up the kitchen. 。Qin Lan called Qin Jingyi and Qin Jingwen to the living room, obviously wanting to say something. 。"Aunt, is something the matter?"Qin Jingwen knew she was asking knowingly, but Qin Jingyi remained silent. She could only speak first. 。"Jing Yi, I've noticed you haven't been yourself lately. Perhaps you should take a break from school?" 。Qin Lan didn't beat around the bush, but instead spoke directly to Qin Jingyi. 。"Yeah, take a leave of absence to relax for a while, and come back to studying. " 。Qin Jingyi didn't answer, only Qin Jingwen supplemented on the side. 。After our leave of absence, the two of us will leave first. Your sister will stay here and investigate about your parents again. 。After the investigation ended, she left as well. From now on, our family will never come back here again. 。Qin Lan continued speaking, his attitude essentially forceful, self-willed. 。"Decided to reopen the investigation?"Hearing about what happened to mom and dad, Qin Jingyi finally spoke. 。" In two days, we'll be able to file a case and then enter the investigation phase " 。“You and your aunt go first, I’ll take care of Mom and Dad.” 。" It was Qin Jingwen who answered, speaking as she observed Qin Jingyi. 。"Aunt, please go first. I've already applied for graduate school and can't take a leave of absence right now." 。And I'm also going to be involved in my parents' matters and cooperate with the investigation. 。Auntie, please go first. Find a place to settle down, and I and my sister will come later. 。Qin Jingyi gave her own thoughts. 。Although she had promised her aunt and sister that she would leave, she thought it wasn't the right time, and she couldn't just hand over everything to her sister. 。"Aunt, sister, I know you've both been worried about me, afraid my illness will relapse..." 。I'm sorry that I let you down and worried you, but please rest assured that I can get through this. 。"If this thing were to knock me down, I'd be letting down all those years of studying." 。My affairs are something I need to face myself. Evading them is not a solution and won't solve the root problem. 。"Don't worry about me, give me some time and I'll accept reality. " 。Qin Jingyi said a lot in one breath, probably everything she had said in the past month. 。She just didn't want her aunt and sister to worry, didn't want to be a burden on them again. 。If you all don't leave, I won't either. 。Just wait, wait until everything is settled and then we'll leave together. 。Qin Lan couldn't leave either. If only she left by herself, that would be running away, shirking responsibility onto the two children. 。Qin Jingwen's investigation into her parents' affairs would inevitably lead to the exposure of Qiao Shunchen. Once his involvement in the events over twenty years ago is revealed, what secrets could possibly remain hidden? 。As Qiao Liang said, things will eventually be resolved. No matter what happens after that, at least it will feel more solid. 。Then I'll do it as soon as possible, and you, Jing Yi, should also adjust your mood over there. 。There is no insurmountable obstacle, things will get better. 。Also, be careful during this time. 。If we reopen the investigation, it means Mom and Dad were murdered. And if they know we're reopening it, they might put our safety at risk. 。""" “Jing Yi, I can handle my parents' matter myself. 。If you have everything planned out and your homework is done, it's best to leave with your aunt as soon as possible. That way, you'll be safer. 。"Qin Jingwen also shared her thoughts, she still hoped that Qin Jingyi and her aunt would leave first, so that she wouldn't have any worries. " 。"Sister, this makes me even more unable to leave." 。Parents are both of our responsibility, I can't let you bear the risk alone. 。We are a family, we die together and live together. 。"That's decided then, I'll start doing my research first." 。"Qin Jingyi stated that this is her own persistence and her own determination. 。Although she is still worried because of her own problems, she has to take responsibility for what she has done and cannot leave everything to her sister. 。After Qin Jingyi finished speaking, she went upstairs. The living room was left with only Qin Jingwen and her aunt. 。"Auntie, why don't you leave first?" 。You see, Jingyi is so insistent now, she definitely won't leave. 。。“Please, Aunt,” Qin Jingwen urged. 。"Am I going to abandon you two here and leave myself? How am I supposed to explain this to your parents when I see them?" 。Qin Lan was even more stubborn and wouldn't possibly leave the two children alone. 。"Don't worry about me, I have my own things to deal with. " 。Qin Lan hinted, and also began to prepare for the day when the truth would be revealed. 。She just wants Qin Jingyi to come out of this soon, otherwise they can't be honest about what's going on. 。"Auntie, what do you need to solve? A personal matter or a public one?"Qin Jingwen asked curiously, never knowing that her aunt had anything else that needed solving. 。Qin Lan glanced at Qin Jingwen and didn't immediately give an answer. 。Qin Jingwen, however, anxiously speculated on her own. 。Let me guess, it must be something private. 。"Isn't it your boyfriend who found you again?" This was Qin Jingwen's only guess, and also the thing she hoped would happen deep in her heart 。She truly hopes that her aunt finds a lover to spend the rest of her life happily with, rather than working tirelessly for her and Jingyi for life. 。“Looking for someone is out of the question, I'm getting up there in years, I'm quite happy on my own” 。Qin Lan didn't directly deny it. At this moment, he also had a surge of impulse in his heart, wanting to tell Qin Jingwen... 。But her impulse was suppressed by herself, and she couldn't tell the truth. 。"Auntie, you can't always be alone, and you can't put all your energy on me and Jingyi." 。You should have your own happiness, and enjoy the joy of love. 。"Find a good man to marry, both Jingyi and I support you." 。As long as you're happy, Jing Yi and I are happy. 。“ Qin Jingwen's persuasion was somewhat sad. She knew that love was painful, but she still persuaded her aunt and still believed in love 。Because she knew that the worst and most painful love in the world had already been taken by her, other people's love must be good. 。"If there were any good people out there, my aunt wouldn't be stuck at home like this." 。"Don't worry about my affairs, focus on figuring out what happened to your parents." 。"Qin Lan refused to discuss this topic. She didn't believe that love was happiness and joy. She had already been tormented by love to the point of death, so where did she have the courage to believe in love? " 。"I'm going to clean up the kitchen, you can sit here by yourself." 。Qin Lan also found an opportunity to leave and completely end their conversation. 。Joe Xiang has finished dinner and there's nothing much going on here. 。A person came to the study and just as they entered, remembered to call Qiao Bin over too. 。"Dad, is something the matter?" Qiao Bin's question was habitual 。From small to large, there's nothing that his father wouldn't call him. 。"How are you considering my suggestion about going abroad?"After much deliberation, Joe Xiang realized this matter needed to be pushed forward, so he called Joe Bin over to inquire. 。"Dad, are you serious?"When his father spoke of this matter, Qiao Bin's anger took hold of his entire heart without a moment's hesitation. 。He thought that his father didn't bring it up these days, it was over. 。Who knows what he has forgotten, but his father remembers. 。"Yes, I'm serious. " 。Joe Chiang's attitude was very firm. 。But he did this not only for Qiao's sake, but also for Qiao Bin's future. 。If Qiao Liang and Qin Lan's relationship were to be made public, then Qiao Shunchen's car accident would have to be revealed to the world. This would mean that some of Qiao Bin's secrets would also come to light. 。He knew he was condoning his son's actions, and that this was wrong to the Qin family. 。But he also knew that he was still selfish, and still didn't want his son to get into trouble. 。So he had to leave, he had to go abroad. 。"Dad, I'm getting older, it's hard to leave my hometown. " 。You want me to go out now, how can I live? 。"I do care about Shunhao's things a bit too much sometimes, but I don't have any other thoughts. " 。When I left, I promised Shunchen that I wouldn't fight for power anymore. I will definitely do it. 。"Why do you insist on me leaving?" 。Joe Bin suppressed the anger in his heart and argued with his father. 。At this point, there's no way he'll leave. He won't give up on something so close to success. 。"You know I'm doing this for your own good..." 。Leave as soon as possible. The faster, the better. 。Joe Xiang didn't say the reason, he was afraid that if he said it, Qiao Bin might unintentionally tell Wang Yun. 。Once Wang Yun knew, the whole world would know, and then things would be even harder to handle. 。"Dad...""Get out, do as I said, the sooner the better. " 。Joe Xiang had no patience to continue, nor did he want to give his son a chance. 。Joe Bin didn't speak, just glared angrily at his father before leaving. 。Joe Bin's lungs were deflated by his father. He rushed back to his room, eager to vent. 。It's all your fault. You don't know how to speak appropriately, you don't know right from wrong. 。If you please Dad and don't make him worry, he won't kick us out. 。"Joe pushed the blame onto Wang Yun, even though he knew his words were just angry outbursts. But he didn't deny that Wang Yun was an unpleasant person and she had to bear some responsibility. 。“You blame me? What am I to the Qiao family? You really think highly of me” 。" Wang Yun responded dismissively, she couldn't afford to wear the high hat Qiao Bin had put on her >>>。Your dad is just biased, he wants to drive us out so he can give this old house to your older brothers. 。He's also worried that you staying here will put you in competition with Joe Shun-chen for the position of chairman. 。"You know it well, yet you pushed it onto me." 。" Wang Yun retorted Qiao Bin defiantly. Like Qiao Bin, she didn't want to leave no matter how you looked at it. " 。You know how big this old house is and how much it's worth. 。Even if you offered ten villas in exchange for this old house, your father wouldn't agree. Why are you making us leave? Why are you only giving your eldest brother and his family... 。Regardless of the position of chairman, Wang Yun could only see the old house in front of her. 。She was unwilling to accept the reality she had imagined, and she couldn't bear that everything had been given to Qiao Liang's family. 。 |
