ut and grasped Qin Jingwen's hand, beginning to massage it. 。"Don't press it anymore, it's much better now" 。Touching her slender hand, Qiao Shunchen could feel her swelling, and he couldn't help but...When it came to Bi Guangcheng's sea burial, Bi Xia spoke calmly, but Qiao Yu was deeply troubled by what she heard. 。She couldn't understand why Xia had chosen sea burial after so many years of traditional interment. This confusion couldn't be resolved by asking Bi Xia directly, so she could only call her father. 。Joe Liang's first reaction when he heard the question was nervousness. He didn't know how to answer it, nor did he know Joe Yu's purpose for making this call. 。“I… I don't know what's going on.” 。I didn't go to see Bixia's mother either, and I don't know if they had a sea burial. 。“

Qiao Liang could only conceal the truth this way because he promised Bi Xia's mother not to say anything >>> 。"Have you been in touch with Auntie She asked for your phone number from me that day" Qiao Yu was puzzled. She thought if Bi Xia's mother wanted her phone number, she would definitely call her father, otherwise, she wouldn't ask for it. 。 Qiao Yu's doubts went far beyond this. She wondered if their family and Bi Xia's family were involved too much, always feeling that it wasn't as simple as they saw on the surface. 。We made contact by phone, but we didn't meet. She didn't mention anything about her father's sea burial in the call. 。"Why didn't Bixia say anything" Qiao Liang asked Qiao Yu back, he also wanted to know what Qiao Yu called to ask. 。Bi Xia didn't say anything, just said it was Auntie's meaning. 。"Dad, does Aunt have any opinions about our family or something After so many years together, she shouldn't have cremated Uncle Bi. 。 。"""

Father didn't give any valuable answers, so Qiao Yu couldn't figure out the answer to her doubts.

""" 。At first, the tombstones of Mom and Uncle were not together. Later, they were moved next to each other because of Feng Shui, but it was perplexing when their family suddenly moved them away. 。The more Qiao Yu thought about it, the more confused he became. He was so tangled up that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find a clue. 。But if you don't try to piece together these doubts, there's nothing wrong with it. 。But she's a strange one, always trying to piece together things that don't make sense, and searching for answers to questions that may not even have them. 。"That's you overthinking it. People might think sea burial is environmentally friendly, or maybe Bi Xia's mother just preferred it." 。It's nothing strange, other people's affairs don't concern us. 。" Qiao Liang wanted to hang up the phone, if Qiao Yu's thoughts were a little clearer she would know what was going on. After all, he had talked to Qiao Yu many times about her mother before. " 。"Dad, I didn't know our families were next door to each other before Bi Xia's" Father's perfunctory response was lost on Qiao Yu. Or perhaps she was so lost in her own thoughts that she hadn't heard him at all. 。"Should not know " 。"Joe Yu, we don't need to worry about their family matters" 。Let them do whatever they want, we don't have any plans for a sea burial anyway. 。" Qiao Liang reminded Qiao Yu again, this time he didn't know if Qiao Yu could listen in. " 。"No, Dad, I don't think it's that simple." 。I have a feeling that Aunt is hiding from us. She probably cremated Uncle after knowing Mom and Uncle were buried together. 。Joe stated her own guess, although she herself felt it was a bit absurd, but this guess seemed to make her thoughts clearer. 。"How is that possible, Qiao Yu You're overthinking it." 。"Our two families have no grievances, why would they avoid us" 。"It's a very simple thing, you made it complicated." 。"Bi Xia's relationship with you guys isn't very good, is it You and her mother have even had dinner together. She wasn't nice to you either, was she"

“If there were grudges between us, how could we possibly sit at the same table and eat”

Qiao Liang continued to explain for several sentences, explaining a bit nervously, explaining a bit flustered. 。 Qiao Yu refused to give up her doubts, constantly piecing together all the suspicious things. 。Once she figured it out, the truth became clear as day, and there was no way he could keep it hidden. 。"Yeah, if she had any ideas about us, she wouldn't be so enthusiastic towards us " 。"Could it be that I overthought things"

Joe Yu thought about his father's words and felt they made a lot of sense.

It shouldn't be this kind of possibility, otherwise they wouldn't possibly get along well with Auntie Bi's family either. 。It's just their own thoughts, you're overthinking it. 。" Okay, I have something else to do, I won't chat with you anymore " 。You should also pay attention to your own body, take good care of the child and don't overthink things. 。After Qiao Liang finished speaking, he quickly hung up the phone, and the stone in his heart finally settled a little. 。Just as she was taking a deep breath for this, Qin Lan's voice suddenly appeared, once again making her heart hang in mid-air. 。"Who are you talking to" It was a very ordinary question, but Qin Lan asked it very seriously. 。"Joe Yu, Joe Yu's phone 。" How did you come back Has the rain outside gotten heavier" "Since you're home, I'll go buy medicine for you" 。Joe Liang's nervousness was once again evident as he wasn't sure what Qin Lan had heard. 。It wasn't a heavy rain, it's just that I forgot my money and my phone. 。"Who is Bi Guangcheng you just mentioned What's his relationship with Bi Xia" Qin Lan heard some of it, but she didn't hear what Qiao Yu said on the other side. She wasn't sure what the father and son were arguing about. 。Actually, she shouldn't have listened to Qiao Liang's phone call, but the name Bi Xia caught her attention. 。Bi Xia, if I remember correctly, is the girl Jing Yi mentioned to me a while ago, isn't she The one who was rumored to be dating Qiao Shun Chen 。"Bi Guangcheng was a neighbor of ours over twenty years ago. Bi Xia is Bi Guangcheng's daughter and is now Shunchen's assistant. 。" Qiao Liang's answer was filled with trepidation. If Qin Lan found out about this, things would be even more complicated. " 。"How come the neighbor is both pitiful and troubled again" Qin Lan originally didn't have any special feelings about the matter, he just felt a little worried about that Bi Xia girl. 。But now Qiao Liang's nervousness made her notice. He seemed to be hiding something, something he didn't want her to know, otherwise, he wouldn't answer so cautiously and his tense face would not have changed. 。"That's Qiao Yu overthinking it. I advise Qiao Yu to..." 。

Since the old neighbor has passed away, Qiao Yu doesn't need to think about it anymore.

The more Qiao Liang explained, the less sense it made. He didn't even know what he was saying anymore. 。Joe Liang, why are you so nervous I feel like there's something you're hiding from me. It feels like you're lying to me right now. 。Qin Lan said this with a smirk, she wanted to test the waters, but was afraid that such words would hurt their feelings. 。Only able to mask their emotions and express them in a lighthearted way. 。"No, how could I possibly lie to you" 。It's just a phone call from Qiao Yu. 。" Joe Liang vehemently denied it, some evasive, some apologetic. 。But there was no way, he had to cover up such a lie. 。"Don't deceive me, it's best. If you have anything to hide from me, and if you lie to me again, I really won't be able to forgive you. " 。Qin Lan's words were still said as a joke, but she was using this joke to remind Qiao Liang that she could be deceived countless times, but she wouldn't forgive countless times. 。She is also flesh and blood, unable to withstand repeated injuries. She was raised by her parents and cherished as a precious child. It wasn't that she was born under the deception and harm of Qiao Liang. 。"No, how could that be" 。Why do you think like Qiao Yu, it's so complicated 。Qi Liang was still hiding it, but this time he was afraid, afraid that Qin Lan would leave him again once she knew the truth. 。"I'm going to buy medicine, I'll be back in a while." 。"Qin Lan turned and left. The moment she turned her back to Qiao Liang, the curve of her lips disappeared. " 。She's already convinced that Qiao Liang is hiding something from her, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken so uncertainly. 。What was he hiding from her What was he deceiving her about She even doubted if her persistence for over twenty years had been wrong. 。Is it that Qiao Liang's love for her is also fake 。What should she do If Qiao Liang is really deceiving her, what should she do Is it best to leave with Jing Yi 。After Qin Lan went downstairs, looking at the drizzle, her heart was even more chaotic. After buying medicine, she had no intention of going home, but sat down in the pavilion downstairs. 。Make an effort to calm your heart, make an effort to forget Qiao Liang's panicked expression just now. 。 Qiao Liang told her a lot. She thought that this time they could work things out together, and after that the whole family could be happy together. 。Qin Lan really faced this yearning with Qiao Liang, but today Qiao Liang's performance made her lose confidence in her own aspirations. 。Without confidence, everything would fall apart. She would have to reconsider her current situation and find a new way to make a living for herself and her family. 。Actually, if you think about it carefully, she and Qiao Liang were a mistake from the start. Since it was a wrong thing, it shouldn't be persisted in. 。She and Qiao Liang are also the key to the whole thing. If they weren't together, there wouldn't be so many problems. 。She took Jingyi abroad to study. Wenwen and Qiao Shunchen didn't have to be affected by their relationship because of their affairs, and the two children could also have a warm home. 。She makes a small sacrifice, and everyone is happy. This kind of ending is more stable and easier to accept. 。It seems that Qin Lan had already found an escape route, so he got up and prepared to go home. 。Just as she had gotten to her feet, her phone rang in her pocket. 。She took out her phone and glanced at the number. It was a number she didn't recognize. 。I was planning not to answer, but the phone kept ringing and eventually I picked it up. 。"Hello, I am..." "Are you Qin Lan" 。Before Qin Lan could finish her words, the other party gave her name. 。However, the other party's voice left her mind blank. 。Although this voice hasn't been heard in over twenty years, and though it sounds aged, she could still recognize the owner of the voice was Qiao Dexiang. 。"You..." "Yes, I am Qiao Dexiang" 。Jo Xiang is very domineering, his voice is rough with a hint of fierceness. 。To be honest, Qin Lan was a little afraid of that voice. Hearing it brought back memories of the threats, intimidation, and humiliation he'd subjected her to over twenty years ago. 。For over twenty years, with the appearance of this sound, scenes from the past came back to me one by one. 。She was hurt more by Qiao Dexiang than by Qiao Liang. 。He hurt her pride, he ruined her job, he pushed her to the brink of despair, almost drove her to suicide. 。Such a person in Qin Lan's eyes at the time was a devil, a demon that people would be terrified of just by hearing his name. 。 future" Qin Jingyi grasped every second, afraid that someone might come and force this conversation to end. 。No, we can't 。Joe Shunchen gave a very direct answer, but the way he said it made my hear...
