s at Qin Jingwen, wishing she could swallow her whole, but Qin Jingwen was speechless at this moment. 。Last night, when they were together on impulse, she had imagined a scene like this happening, but...Joe felt the anger in his chest building, threatening to boil over. He had to say what he was thinking, or else he'd erupt like he did with his father over twenty years ago. 。"Qiao Liang, you should understand what I mean" 。I'm not saying Shunchen isn't doing a good job. I'm just trying to find him someone who's a good match, as a way of preparing for the future. Just in case something happens, his father-in-law's family could also offer support. 。" Joe Xiang didn't wait for Qiao Liang to get angry before he flared up himself. " 。He didn't want to hear anything about Qin Jingwen now, not one word. He didn't want to hear anyone trying to give him advice. 。It's not that we can't cope, it's that we're afraid of being shaken. 。"Dad, you're overthinking this" 。Your ideas are outdated, you haven't kept up with the times. 。If Qiao really had an accident, his father-in-law would be the fastest to run away, and he might even kick him from behind with others. 。"Do you know why I say that Because they're all marriages of interest, all people who are only interested in profit." 。As long as he finds the Qiao family going downhill, he will definitely protect himself first. Who do you think can be selfless and protect our Qiao family 。“ Qiao Liang wanted to put his father to sleep as much as possible. He didn't want this scene, this atmosphere to happen again today. He didn't want the child to be pitiful, and he didn't want Qin Jingwen to be wronged.” 。Joe Liang's few words left Joe Chao speechless. He panted heavily, his face flushed with anger as he sat on the sofa, his eyes darting around aimlessly. 。It's possible, as Qiao Liang said, because he is acting in his own interest, and the other party is also acting in their own interest. 。It is just that we cannot give up on the Qiao family's safety for the sake of unknown possibilities. 。Also, you want to find someone who is a good match for you. Your idea itself is a kind of distrust towards Shunchen. 。You don't believe he can manage Qiao well, and you don't believe he can handle it with his own ability when Qiao encounters problems. 。"

Qiao Liang saw that his father was not speaking, and continued to persuade him. 。"You just said you were doing this for the Qiao family's good." 。Dad, from the start you took charge of my marriage, but what about the Qiao family Are their relationships harmonious They all prioritize benefits above everything else. Who would put family ties first Dad, a happy family is the foundation for everything to prosper. 。With such a mess of family affairs, how could the business possibly thrive 。"Even if you were to win, even if the Qiao family stood at the top of the world, but with chaos in your household and hearts scattered, do you think you'd be happy"

Joe Liang questioned his father, one sentence after another. The Qiao family appeared infinitely prosperous in the eyes of outsiders, but who saw the turmoil within the family Who saw the happiness of the Qiao family members"

“Stop pushing Shunchen so hard, don't you want him to become the second me” This was something Qiao Liang had held in for years, wanting to keep it buried inside forever. But if he didn't speak up, his father would never realize how wrong and selfish his actions were. 。As expected, the sentence caused Joe Xiang, who had been silent all along, to lift his deep-set eyes. 。"Are you blaming me for forcing you into marriage" Joe Xiang asked Joe Liang coldly. 。Joe Liang looked at the anger in his father's eyes, hesitant not because he feared him, but because he was afraid his father couldn't accept reality. 。However, since we've come this far, there's no turning back. 。"Yes, I wish you..." 。If you hadn't forced me into this marriage, I wouldn't be alone like this now. 。If you hadn't meddled in my life back then, I wouldn't have been lonely for so many years. 。Since I got married, I have always felt lonely. It's helpless. 。"Finally, Qiao Liang let out the pressure that had been weighing on his heart for nearly forty years." 。He could be said to have lived a bitter life, all because of his father's selfishness. 。"You blame me I've done all this for your own good, for the good of Qiao's." 。"Back then, if you hadn't married into the Qiao family, would their development have been so rapid"

Qiao Dexiang's aged voice slowed down, a wounded look appearing in his eyes

He did all this not for himself, but for the good of everyone in the Qiao family. How is it that everyone is now blaming him 。"You did all this for my own good, but am I really good Do you think I'm good You did all this for the Joe's company, but have you ever thought that if I had a happy family without worries, could I make Joe's company even better" 。I married into Shunchen's family, and what help did I get from them I've always been the one accommodating their family. 。Now that he mentioned things from back then, he had to make his father understand clearly. 。Even if his father still doesn't realize he was wrong, he needs to say everything he couldn't before. 。"Shun Chen's uncle and aunt are both abroad, and they are still alive. " 。Ask them what they have ever done to help me. When I was in trouble, did anyone stand up and help me I solved everything by myself. 。Speaking of these ceiling beams, he's also quite wronged. He is a person who values filial piety very much. If it weren't for his respect for his father, and if he wasn't afraid that his father would know about this and ruin his marriage, he wouldn't hide it. 。Although his marriage wasn't what he desired, after having children, he didn't mind as much for their sake. 。However, he couldn't say that his mother-in-law's family had never helped. If he did, he would get divorced. And if he got divorced, they would find him another wealthy father-in-law. That way, both children would be ruined. 。"They didn't help" Jo De-xiang asked in surprise. As far as he knew, when the Qiao family encountered difficulties, it was Shun Chen's grandfather who helped them. 。But Qiao Liang wasn't a liar, so where did the problem lie Whose fault was it"No, never." 。Everything was solved by my own ability. 。“Dad, since we brought this up today, I'd like to say more. ” 。"

Qiao Liang continued 。"My marriage was a mistake, but it wasn't wrong to meet Qin Lan." 。Qi Liang finally mentioned Qin Lan to his father. The reason he brought up Qin Lan was because she was an indispensable factor in the upcoming topic. 。"Dad, after twenty-one years, this is the first time I've brought up Qin Lan in front of you." 。If there was blame to be apportioned between her and me, it would fall on me. But you drove her away and placed all the blame on her. 。"You've placed so much burden on a fragile woman, haven't you ever considered her feelings" Remembering Qin Lan Qiao Liang's emotions inevitably stirred excitement, remembering Qin Lan he even felt an urge to cry out in pain. 。A woman's youth, is something that can't be bought with all the wealth of the Qiao family. 。Yet to be ruthlessly extinguished by his own father, just thinking about it is terrifying. What's the difference between his father and an executioner 。We're talking about the Qiao family, why are you bringing Qin Lan into this 。"Joe Chiang didn't feel he was wrong about Qin Lan. He hadn't regretted kicking Qin Lan out until now. 。If Shunchen's mother hadn't chosen suicide, Qiao Liang would still have been a complete family. 。She has to be drawn in. If she isn't driven away by you, I wouldn't have lived so miserably for the past twenty years. 。Joe replied to his father, and it was clear that his father showed no remorse. 。Back then, my mother and Shun Chen's mother had already discussed a divorce. She also wanted to separate from me. 。I want to get married to Qin Lan if we split up. She can take care of the family, and I can devote myself wholeheartedly to Qiao Shi. 。But you interfered in this matter and ruined my entire plan. 。"Qin Lan went into a life-or-death situation, how could I be in the mood to continue managing Qiao Shi" 。If I hadn't abandoned the Qiao family back then, would the Qiao family have experienced those years of stagnation Would it have allowed Qiao Bin to mess things up so badly Without those years of stagnation, not to mention being the number one in the country, there wouldn't be any company in the world that could surpass the Qiao family. 。"This is the result of a match made in heaven, this is the consequence of your arranged marriage." 。"Could it be that you, too, like forcing me, will drive Shunchen away and leave the Qiao family in ruin"

Qiao Liang was furious, furious at his father's cruelty, furious at his father's selfishness, furious at his father's domineering nature, and even more furious that his father would seek to control marital freedom in this open society. " 。Joe Xiang's icy eyes locked onto Qiao Liang, his anger causing him to pant heavily, yet he couldn't utter a single word. 。> What Qiao Liang was saying was that he didn't want to admit the scars that couldn't be erased. If Qiao Liang hadn't let go of the Qiao family back then, there wouldn't have been that period when Qiao Bin was in charge. 。There will be no stagnation or even regression. 。Today, the Qiao family is flourishing and prosperous beyond compare. It's not an exaggeration to say they are richer than a nation. 。However, all of this was indeed because of Qin Lan's departure. It was truly the destruction of Qiao Liang's all hope that made him hopeless about everything, and he resolutely abandoned the Qiao family. 。The study fell silent for a while. Joe Chiang pondered Joe Liang's words over and over, but there was one thing he couldn't figure out. 。I ask you, you said that you made an agreement with Shunchen's mother to separate. Since you already made an agreement, why did she choose to commit suicide 。"After falling silent, Jo Xiang calmed down and no longer harbored that anger. He then spoke, asking the question." 。However, Qiao Liang couldn't say anything. He wanted to show the deceased the utmost respect. 。"Dad, I can't answer that question. " 。But I assure you it's not because of my relationship with Qin Lan. 。 Qiao Shunchen's mother's death, Qiao Liang and Qin Lan didn't tell anyone, let alone their own father. 。He said it would probably cause trouble for a lot of people, and that this was the only thing he could do to protect his wife. 。Joe's emotions also stabilized. He was tired from standing and talking. 。So, he walked over and sat down on the sofa. 。"Dad, I have no feelings for Shunchen's mother. Even though we had two children, we never really got together." 。This you should be able to see. 。"I met Qin Lan when I was forty years old. A man who doesn't know what love is until he is forty, do you know how sad that is " 。“ Qiao Liang smiled wryly, recalling these things, his heart ached. 。But he wanted to tell his father one last time, to clear Qin Lan's name. 。"I told you back then, the fault wasn't Qin Lan's. It was mine for concealing the fact that I was married. She was deceived by me." 。But you insist that it was Qin Lan who seduced me, blaming her for everything and putting all the fault on her shoulders. You made her, made her family, suffer something they didn't deserve. 。Let her family suffer the bitter consequences. 。"Dad, do you know At the time, Qin Lan was already pregnant. It was my child... " Qiao Liang stopped himself when he got to the emotional part. If he said it now, it would be a blow to Qin Jingyi too, and he was afraid it would affect her studies. 。“Qin Lan is pregnant” Joe De-Xiang heard this for the first time. He didn't know that Qin Lan had a child from the Qiao family at all. If he knew, he might not have been so ruthless. 。"Yes, she had my child." 。But they didn't use the child to blackmail me, or to break up my family. 。She would rather abort the child and run away from home than make me choose between her and you. 。"a different way, would our ending be different" 。Standing under the streetlamp, looking up at the even dim light that was still dazzling. 。Qin Jingwen suddenly wanted to open up their interaction pat...
