chen knew Qin Jingyi's intentions, and because he knew them already, he had arranged for Chen Shu to come over. 。Okay 。But where's elder sister Why hasn't she come down for dinner" Qin Jingyi didn't...Qin Jingwen no longer wanted to actively participate in Qiao Shunchen's affairs. She wouldn't make Qiao Shunchen uncomfortable unless Qiao Yu and Uncle Qiao strongly requested it. 。She realized that being too difficult would make people dislike her, become wary of her, and lose trust in her. As a result, whenever something happened, she would be kept in the dark. 。Since she has no ability to change anyone, don't make it hard on yourself or others. 。"Shunchen, how have you been thinking about what I said last time about your father" Qiao Yu continued to ask, every time they met she had to inquire, and every time they met she hoped things would progress a little. 。Now she understands and has let go. 。Although the child awaits her father's so-called truth, she must now accommodate her father and Qin Lan. 。Let bygones be bygones, and forget about her mother's passing. All she wants is for her father to be happy and joyful while he is still alive. 。"Sigh... every time you ask me, I don't know how to answer..." 。" Qiao Shunchen first sighed, and then began the topic. " 。"Last time I went out to play tennis, I had a chat with my dad." 。Dad said that woman has never married all these years and has always been alone. 。I think they should meet in person. 。This is Qiao Shunchen's guess because his father had said at the time that there was news and hadn't admitted to meeting them. 。"Sis, hearing such news still hurts me. I can't accept it for a while." 。They met, and the next step is to rebuild their relationship. That's something I can't handle. 。"I've been trying really hard to figure this out, but I haven't had much luck, so it still needs time " 。" At this moment, Qiao Shunchen was only considering various possibilities, and his heart had already become entangled. 。If their mother knew that she wouldn't even be able to reunite them with her life, how heartbroken she would be. 。The clearer the mother's pain, the deeper his. 。"Shunchen, it's not that I'm urging you, but you should speed things up. 。Mom has been gone for so many years, and Dad hasn't had it easy either. 。Even if they meet, I think it's understandable. 。"Dad has been alone for so many years, clinging to this feeling. He's over sixty years old, don't let him down again." 。"Give up, let the past be in the past." 。The most tiring person in your heart is you. 。Although Qiao Shunchen said that, Qiao Yu still wanted to persuade him. 。 wanting to thoroughly resolve things isn't entirely because of my father, but also for the well-being of everyone in this family. 。“I know, I understand all of this.” 。I also try my best to forget about the past, but every time I want to give up, I remember the look on Mom's face when she died in front of me. 。Sister, I don't want this kind of torture either, but that's how I'm being tortured. 。"Most importantly, Dad said Mom's leaving had nothing to do with that woman, but he wouldn't say the real reason. " 。This makes me even more indignant on behalf of Mom. 。" Qiao Shunchen wanted to let go of the matter, and he also believed that his father would not deceive him. But it's true, he should show the truth and let them shut up, so that he could find peace. " 。"Dad has his own hardships, you have your own difficulties" Let me know if you need anything else translated!。I might be overlooking your feelings, but I hope you'll still make some compromises. After all, Dad is getting older. 。"I have already forgiven my dad, although I feel sorry for mom, I still decided to let go of the past. 。If Dad wants to be with that woman, as long as he's happy and joyful, I definitely won't object. 。Joe Yu knew that these words of hers were cruel to Qiao Shunchen, who was unable to accept them, but she had no other way. 。If we don't push forward step by step and force Qiao Shunchen to make a decision repeatedly, then there will be no chance for his father's happiness and well-being to come true. 。And she also expressed that she wanted Qiao Shunchen to feel less guilty towards his mother, after all, she was the elder sister. Whether it was guilt or letting go, she needed to take the lead. 。 Qiao Shunchen fell silent again, the feeling of being forced was terrible, very infuriating. 。But his sister made a lot of sense and he had no way to refute her. 。He knew his state and inner obstacle had a relationship, knowing he still needed treatment. 。But what he most desired was the truth behind what his father had revealed. 。Every time Qiao Shunchen was in trouble or silent, Qin Jingwen felt very sorry for him and would immediately speak up to help Qiao Shunchen relieve his emotions. 。At this moment, she also felt heartache, but she didn't open her mouth to persuade him, nor did she help Qiao Shunchen relieve his emotions. 。Because everything she said was a momentary impulse, it's impossible to redeem a heart that has hated for over twenty years. 。Moreover, Joe Shunchen's conversation with his father happened several days ago. It was only until Qiao Yu asked that Qin Jingwen heard about it for the first time. 。This shows that Qiao Shunchen doesn't want to tell her about this, and Qiao Shunchen doesn't want her to be involved. 。Because of all these factors, Qin Jingwen chose to stay silent. 。On Monday morning, Qiao Shunchen deliberately placed Bi Xia's work report last. 。 。"Bi Xia, I heard from my sister that Aunt cremated Uncle" Joe Shunchen himself felt the topic started a bit abruptly, but he and Bi Xia weren't the type to beat around the bush. 。“Yes, I cremated him at sea.” 。"Actually, I'm against it. After all, it's been so many years since the burial..." 。But Mom insisted, she liked sea burial. 。As the cemetery expansion is no longer feasible, a policy encouraging sea burial has been implemented. 。My mother decided on this opportunity and when she told me, it wasn't a discussion, it was her informing me after the decision had already been made. 。Jia Shunchen's topic caught Bixia off guard, but when it came to her father's sea burial, she still felt uneasy. 。Although many years have passed since her father's death, and their relationship wasn't as close as some other father-and-daughter pairs, after his sea burial, it felt like a void had been left in the place her father held in her heart. 。The aunt agrees with the idea of sea burial. Why wasn't Uncle directly buried at sea when he died 。After so many years, Uncle has passed away. Is this really necessary 。Joe Shun-chen still raised yesterday's question, for him, he always felt that this was a matter of cause and effect, not as simple as it seemed. 。And there was something he suspected, why the cemetery's policy wasn't notified to their family. 。This issue seems to need verification. 。"I don't know about that, I haven't actually asked her that question. " 。"
Qiao Shunchen's reminder made Bi Xia also feel that her mother's decision was a bit abrupt. 。According to normal logic, it should have been cremated and scattered at sea like Joe Shun-chen said when he passed away, instead of waiting for over twenty years. 。Could it be that Mother has some ulterior motives or something else going on 。After Bi Xia left, Qiao Shunchen almost immediately contacted the cemetery, but the answer was negative. 。The cemetery has not implemented such a policy and currently has no plans to expand it. 。Then the question arises, is Xia being truthful or is her mother 。Why do people lie, and what does it have to do with their family's cemetery 。About Bi Xia's father's sea burial, Bi Xia also had new questions. 。After work, I did nothing and went straight home. I just wanted my mother to answer the doubts in her heart. 。When Xia Bi came back home so early, her mother was a little surprised as she was just about to start preparing dinner. 。"Didn't you have overtime today You're back so early. I just started preparing dinner." 。“Mom Bi said that because every time Xia Bi came back, her dinner was just ready. Today was an exception.” 。"No overtime, I'll just cook dinner for you" 。"Where are Grandpa and Grandma" I really wanted to ask that question, but Bi Xia was afraid to ask too directly. She didn't want to make her mother uncomfortable. 。Went to the supermarket, will be back in a while. 。Go change your clothes and then cook dinner for me. 。Mom Bi didn't think too much about it, an occasional day off from work is normal. 。Bixia hurried back to her room and changed clothes as quickly as possible. 。
I came to pick vegetables 。"
Bi Xia started picking the vegetables his mother had prepared, while Bi Ma busied herself on the side. > 。"How's work going lately Is everything going smoothly"Bi Ma, rarely having time to chat with her daughter, took this opportunity to inquire about her daughter's work. 。"Smooth sailing, I work so diligently how could things not go smoothly" 。"Mom, aren't you going to ask me personal questions again 。If this question is irrelevant, let's skip it. 。"
Bixia seemed to see through her mother's thoughts, and seeing right through them, she directly refused, lest her ears be slaughtered.
" 。"Do personal matters not matter Why avoid discussing them" 。Instead of talking about personal issues, what should we talk about 。"Mom Bi thinks the most important thing right now is work, and then personal matters. Besides those, she doesn't really care about anything else." 。Before anyone could even ask, Bi Xia had already PASSED. 。It's better to talk about anything else than personal issues. Let's talk about your dad, so I can learn more about him. 。” Then Bi Xia cleverly changed the subject. 。"Your dad doesn't have much to say" 。" Bi Xia wanted to talk about her father, but Bi's mother didn't want to bring him up. " 。Ke Bi Xia had already heard her mother's words but still insisted on this topic, because she was afraid that this yet-to-begin conversation would end just like that, and her doubts wouldn't be answered. 。"Mom, why didn't Dad have a direct sea burial when he passed away Why are you only thinking about it now after twenty years" Bi Xia was afraid her mother would refuse to discuss the topic again, so she decided to be more direct. 。Bi Ma's work paused momentarily, only because Bi Xia had asked this question. 。Bi Xia is still struggling with this issue, it seems there are doubts in her heart. 。"Back then you were little, and I was in so much pain." 。I don't even know how I got through your father's funeral, and even the cemetery was chosen by someone else. 。At that time, I wasn't in the mood to think about any sea burial arrangements. I was completely devastated. 。The afternoon your dad was buried, I left with your grandparents and you. 。Later, I thought about the sea burial. Because you were young and needed to work, we decided to postpone it. 。"
Bi Ma must have thought of an excuse to answer Bi Xia's question, otherwise, Bi Xia would keep bringing up the issue
" 。"That must have been the hardest time for you." 。Mom, you've worked so hard for me all these years. 。Bi Xia was infected by his mother's grief. At this time, the focus seemed to have shifted from his father's sea burial. 。She may not fully understand how much pain and despair her mother went through at the time, but she knows how difficult it has been for her mother all these years because of her father's absence. 。When dad left, mom should have been at the best time of her life, but her prime was spent raising a family and taking care of me as a child. 。 when the house is ready. 。...I will surely keep my promise to you... when things settle down after Jing Yi's trip abroad. 。Qin Lan was speechless. She thought Qiao Dexiang was in a hurry to get rid...
