ve answer. 。"Well, we've made it very clear. Just friends, just the children's parents." 。For Qin Jingwen, this was already enough. 。Whether or not Qiao Shunchen was sincere, at least they had walk...Qiao Liang brought Qin Lan to the living room and had him sit down. He needed to have a good talk with Qin Lan before he could face his father. 。"Qin Lan, maybe my father's starting point is different from ours." 。His way of handling things is different from ours. 。He put the interests of the Qiao family above all else, and would sacrifice anyone, including me and Shunchen, as long as the Qiao family was well off. 。“ Jo Liang entered a serious and contemplative mode. 。To dissuade Qin Lan from her thoughts, she could only start from the very root. 。She was afraid her father would follow his arrangement, more because she didn't understand her father's intentions. 。Don't be afraid of him, he's not the same as he was twenty years ago. He doesn't control everything anymore; he's just an old man now. 。"You need to have your own thoughts, and believe that things can't be so complicated. " 。The most important thing is that you have to believe in me, and have confidence in me. 。" Qiao Liang's earnest persuasion aimed to get Qin Lan to unconditionally trust him and hand over this matter to her with peace of mind. 。However, Qin Lan had her own thoughts. No matter what happened on Qiao Dexiang's side, she would always be a criminal. 。"I was wrong, and I have to consider your father's advice. " 。Things started because of me, I have no defense. 。"Everything I have done, I cooperated with your father, I am willing to take the consequences, all of this is to atone for myself." 。Only by doing this, only by making your family more comfortable, can my guilt be lessened. 。For over twenty years, Qin Lan has been walking through guilt. Instead of being tormented by such pain, it's better to let the Qiao family have a quick and painless end. 。If there was no love between Qin Jing and Qiao Shunchen, if Jingyi had already grown up, she could stand before Qiao Yu and Qiao Shunchen right now, at their mercy. 。They could beat her, curse at her, or even throw stones and mud at her, but she felt it was a release, a liberation. 。However, Qin Jingyi was not yet fully independent. Yet, Qin Jingwen and Qiao Shunchen unexpectedly developed feelings for each other, and they even had two children. 。All of this made Qin Lan afraid to stand before Qiao Shunchen. 。Qin Lan, you can believe anything I say unconditionally. 。I told you her death has nothing to do with you, it was her own doing. 。"Don't let her death become a chain that binds you, don't carry the weight of responsibility all on your own shoulders. 。Joe Liang was very impatient and didn't know how to say it so that Qin Lan would give up this idea. 。He really wanted to tell everyone the truth about what happened and give Qin Lan a fair chance. 。But if he said it now, Qin Lan would hate him, blame him, and leave him immediately. 。Joe Liang was also having a hard time. He felt sorry for Qin Lan, but he also had to consider the feelings of many people. 。He was tortured to the brink of collapse. 。"You always say that, but what about the facts" 。You said it wasn't because of me, then why would she choose to die 。Why choose to die during that time period, it's not because of me. 。"You said it wasn't my fault, but Qiao Yu and Shunchen have hated me for over twenty years, and I've blamed myself for over twenty years. Who should bear all of this" 。Qin Lan pressed Qiao Liang, saying that kind of thing more than once. 。She also wants to believe that Qiao Shunchen's mother's death wasn't her fault, but what about the evidence What about the facts 。Who could believe a fact that lacks persuasiveness, Qiao Yu or Qiao Shunchen 。If she believed it, if she shirked all responsibility, how would Qiao Yu and Qiao Shunchen view her How would they view Qin Jingwen and Qin Jingyi 。"Don't ask why, there are some things I can't say." 。Just believe in me, and don't blame yourself. 。I will take care of things with Qiao Yu and Shun Chen. 。" Qiao Liang still didn't speak the truth. He couldn't, because too many people were involved. " 。“Don’t ask why Even I don’t know the reason, do I If, as you said, I have no responsibility at all, then I am innocent. Why don't I have the right to know the truth” Qin Lan continued to press him. 。Seeing Qiao Liang's conflicted and helpless expression, she wanted to believe what Qiao Liang said. 。She only needs the truth to believe fully and to confirm that she is not the culprit. 。"You have something you're hiding from me, don't you trust me"At this moment, Qin Lan suddenly remembered Qiao Liang and Qiao Yu's phone call. 。He was clearly deliberately concealing something, and the object of his concealment was her. 。"No, no, it's not like that" 。"Qin Lan, I admit I have something hidden from you, but I can't say what it is." 。All I can tell you is that this has nothing to do with you, you did nothing wrong. 。 Qiao Liang had to admit that otherwise Qin Lan would overthink things, and matters would become more complicated. 。"Qin Lan, let's all calm down and think this through." 。You must stand on the same path with me, only then can we solve this problem. 。"The cover-up of past events is unfair to Qin Lan and a major obstacle to resolving the matter. " 。But Qiao Liang still hoped to cover up the past while also resolving things well. 。Perhaps someday he would tell Qin Lan about the past, but definitely not now. 。"Sigh..." Qin Lan sighed, feeling utterly helpless about everything. 。Although she was very curious about what Qiao Liang had been hiding from her, and who should bear the burden of these twenty years, 。But, looking at Qiao Liang's attitude, it seems like you wouldn't be able to ask anything. 。

"What about your father's side, what should I do if she comes looking for me"

Qin Lan didn't know what to do next, he didn't know if it was right or wrong to trust Qiao Liang unconditionally.

As long as you believe in me, as long as you hand over everything to me and let me handle it, I will take care of things on your father's side. 。What Qiao Liang needs now is Qin Lan's affirmation, he needs her to give him a firm belief. 。Qin Lan pondered for a moment, then... 。Okay, I believe you 。From now on, no matter what happens, I'll share it with you and we'll solve it together. 。No matter how you choose to resolve past issues, I will cooperate and never leave without authorization. 。Qin Lan finally made up her mind and finally chose to believe Qiao Liang unconditionally. 。But this doesn't mean her guilt has disappeared, nor that she isn't worried about it. 。"Whew…" Qiao Liang finally let out a breath, once again embracing Qin Lan 。With Qin Lan's support and cooperation, he wouldn't have any worries and would be able to resolve this matter properly. 。This time Qiao Shunchen's trip abroad was much better than the last. Although he didn't say goodbye to Qin Jingwen when he left, he took the initiative to contact her once he got there. 。At this very moment, Qin Jingwen is in her room talking on the phone with Qiao Shunchen. 。Instead of a two-way conversation, it was more like Qiao Shunchen speaking and Qin Jingwen listening. 。Qin Jingwen had already gotten used to Qiao Shunchen disappearing whenever he went abroad. This time, when he called her, she didn't know what to say. 。"Nuan Nuan, how is it over there Is everything settled" Joe Shunchen briefly explained the situation on his end and then began to inquire about Qin Jingwen's side. 。"No, working on it." 。"This is the longest sentence Qin Jingwen has spoken since she started the phone call. " 。Everything before this was just a lukewarm response, with no interest in hearing what Joe Shunchen had to say. 。 “I'll go back to help you, I can be back tomorrow.” 。Joe Shun-chen volunteered, but Qin Jingwen might not appreciate it. 。"No, I'll do it myself." 。 。Qin Jingwen refused, she didn't need Qiao Shunchen's help. 。Even though Ye Wen's company only has Qiao Shunchen here as a shortcut, she still said she chose to do it herself. 。Things are a bit complicated, and Qiao Bin is involved. Since Qin Jingwen can't get involved with Qiao Shunchen's experience, it becomes even more difficult. 。They two are doing well like this, each doing their own thing without interfering with the other, and they can still give the children a complete family. 。"My business and yours don't conflict, I…" "No need really, if I encounter something difficult to solve, I'll ask you for help." 。Qin Jingwen interrupted Qiao Shunchen's words, using words she had said countless times before to placate him. 。From the beginning to now, she has countless times wanted to ask Qiao Shunchen for help, countless times wanted to tell Qiao Shunchen about her family affairs. 。However, it's a tragedy. Either the opportunity wasn't right, or Qiao Shunchen simply forgot about it. 。It's not that she didn't want to say it, but Qiao Shunchen didn't need to know. 。Since she had missed it so many times and forgotten, she no longer had the idea of saying it out loud. 。"Okay, if you run into trouble, be sure to let me know." 。Joe Shun-chen didn't force Qin Jingwen, knowing she still had complaints about him. 。Besides, I want to have all the bodyguards around me and Jing Yi withdrawn. I feel uncomfortable, like being followed all the time. 。Qin Jingwen had wanted to tell Qiao Shunchen this for a long time, and she had also talked to Qin Jingyi about it. 。They are not used to having someone protecting them all the time. 。The danger hasn't been lifted yet, let's persevere for a while longer. 。Joe Shun-chen was still very cautious, after all, the investigation into Song Wei's death had not yet been cleared up. 。“No need, it’s not dangerous” 。Or just withdraw the bodyguard. 。“ Qin Jingwen also insisted, but her attitude was indifferent and overly polite. 。There is no longer the mood of acting cute and coquettish like with Joe Shunchen before. 。Since you insist, I'll follow your lead. 。I will tell Sun Xu to make arrangements in a bit. 。Joe Shunchen always couldn't refuse Qin Jingwen's requests, no matter what aspect he was in, his attitude wasn't as persistent as Qin Jingwen's. 。"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I still have work to finish today." 。Qin Jingwen said everything she wanted to say, and even listened to things she didn't want to hear. There seemed to be nothing left to talk about, so she found an excuse to hang up the phone. 。The phone was casually tossed aside, and he threw himself onto the bed. 。She thought about her current relationship with Qiao Shunchen, it was quite ironic and helpless. 。It's even more liberating to not be as much as a third party. 。If she were the third party in a relationship, she would be a selfless one, an obedient and well-behaved one, who would never make unreasonable demands. 。If a man wants to come, he comes, and if he wants to leave, he leaves. That way, she'll be more at ease. 。Now, the girlfriend title seems kind of awkward. And no one acknowledges the wife title either. 。At most, they are just roommates. 。The identity of a mistress seems more tragic than that of a homewrecker. 。The more I thought about it, the worse things seemed to get, and my status kept declining. 。How could the love she longed for be like this Why is it so different from everyone else's It's tens of thousands of miles away from what she imagined. 。After Qiao Liang and Qin Lan discussed, he called Qiao Dexiang and didn't say anything, just asked him to come over. 。"Sun Shen doesn't have a private plane, I contacted Sun Xu, he will arrange for you and Liu Guanjia to come over. " 。"How about tomorrow morning Come over tomorrow morning." 。" Qiao Liang had arranged everything, the reason he let his father come over here was to prevent Qin Lan from being exposed so quickly. 。 just thinking about it. My head is full of confusion." 。I don't know how to handle this situation, and I don't know how to let go of it. 。"Let's stop talking, okay" 。" Qiao Shunchen was already confu...
