When Bi Xia spoke about Bi Guangcheng's sea burial, she remained calm, but Qiao Yu became agitated upon hearing it. 。She didn't understand why he had suddenly chosen to be cremated after so many years of burial. She couldn't ask Bixia about this, as she wouldn't understand, so she could only call her father. 。When Qiao Liang heard the question, his first reaction was to feel nervous. He didn't know how to answer it and had no idea what Qiao Yu's purpose was in making this call. 。“I… I don’t know what happened. ” 。I didn't go to see Bi Xia's mother either, and I don't know if they had a sea burial. 。Qiao Liang could only cover up the truth this way because he promised Bixia's mother not to say anything. 。"Have you been in contact with your aunt? She asked for your number from me that day?"Joe Yu was puzzled. She thought if Bi Xia's mother wanted her phone number, she would have called her father directly; otherwise, there was no reason to ask for it. 。qiao Yu's doubts went far beyond this. She wondered if their family and Bi Xia's family were involved in something too much, always feeling that it wasn't as simple as they saw on the surface. 。"They called, but we didn't meet. She didn't mention anything about her father's sea burial on the phone." 。" Why didn't Bixia say the reason? 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, do you think Aunt has an opinion about our family or something? We've been together for so many years, she shouldn't have cremated Uncle Bi like that. " 。Uncle Zhou didn't say that location had good feng shui, did he? It shouldn't be like this. 。"""

Father didn't give any valuable answers, so Qiao Yu couldn't figure out her doubts. >>>。At first, the tombstones of Mother and Uncle were not together. Later, because of feng shui concerns, they were moved to be beside each other. However, their sudden removal by the family is puzzling. 。The more Qiao Yuyue thought about it, the more confused she became. Her thoughts were jumbled up like a ball of yarn, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find a clue. 。But if you don't piece together these doubts, there's nothing inherently wrong with it. 。

But she's a strange one too, insisting on piecing together those things, on exploring questions that have no answers.

。"That's reading too much into it. People might think sea burial is environmentally friendly, or maybe Xia's mother just preferred it." 。。" 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 about her mother many times before. " 。"Dad, before this summer, did you not know that our two families were next door to each other?"Father's perfunctory response didn't reach Qiao Yu's ears. Or perhaps she was lost in her own thoughts and hadn't heard what her father had said at all. 。 “Should not know” 。" Qiao Yu, we don't need to worry about their family affairs. " 。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 Auntie is hiding from us. She probably scattered Uncle's ashes at sea after she knew Mom and Uncle were buried together. 。" Qiao Yu voiced her own speculation, although she found it somewhat absurd. However, this conjecture seemed to make her thoughts clearer. 。"How is that possible, Qiao Yu? You're overthinking it." 。"There's no bad blood between our two families, why would they be avoiding us?" 。"It's a very simple thing, you made it complicated." 。"Bi Xia's relationship with you guys isn't good, is it? You even had dinner together with her mother. She wasn't nice to you guys, was she?" "If there were grudges, how could you possibly sit at the same table and eat together?" 。Joe kept explaining for several sentences, his explanation a bit evasive, a bit flustered. 。Joe Yu refused to give up on her suspicions, constantly piecing together the various suspicious incidents. 。Once she figured it out, the truth became clear as day. There was no way he could hide it anymore. 。"Yeah, if she had any ideas about us, she wouldn't be so enthusiastic towards us at all. " 。"Could I really be overthinking this?"

Qiao Yu thought about her father's words and felt they made a lot of sense. 。It shouldn't be this kind of possibility, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get along well with Auntie Bi's family either. 。That's just their own thoughts, you're overthinking it. 。"Okay, I have other things to do here, let's chat later." 。And you should also pay attention to your own body, take good care of the children and don't overthink things. 。Joe finished speaking and quickly hung up the phone, a slight sense of relief washing over him. 。Just as she took a deep breath for this, Qin Lan's voice suddenly appeared, once again hanging her heart in mid-air. 。It was a very ordinary question, but Qin Lan asked it with great seriousness. 。"Joe Yu, Joe Yu's phone " 。" How did you come back, the rain outside is getting heavier, isn't it? " "You're at home, I'll go buy medicine for you..." 。" Qiao Liang's tension was evident once again, as he wasn't sure what Qin Lan had heard. " 。It wasn't a heavy rain, I just forgot to bring money and my phone. 。Qin Lan heard some of it, but not what Qiao Yu said on her 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. 。< >Bitsummer, if I remember correctly, is the girl Jingyi mentioned to me a while back. She's the one who was rumored to be dating Qiao Shunchen.< >。"Biwangcheng was our neighbor over twenty years ago. Bi Xia is Biwangcheng's daughter and now she is Shunchen's assistant. " 。“ Qiao Liang's answer was trembling with fear. If Qin Lan found out, things would be even worse.

。"How come the neighbor is looking so distressed again?"Qin Lan hadn't felt anything special about the situation, only a bit of concern for that girl named Bi Xia. 。But now Qiao Liang's tension 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 face wouldn't have changed so nervously. 。"It's Qiao Yu thinking too much, I advise Qiao Yu..." 。The old neighbor has passed away, so Qiao Yu doesn't need to think about it anymore. 。Joe Liang explained more and more, but he couldn't make sense of it himself. He didn't even know what he was saying anymore. 。"Qiao 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." 。" Qin Lan said this with a smirk. She wanted to test the waters, but she was also afraid that such words would hurt their feelings. 。。"No, how could I possibly lie to you? " 。It's just a phone call from Qiao Yu. 。He vehemently denied it, with some embarrassment and apology. 。But there was no other way, he had to cover up such a lie. 。"Better not deceive me, if you have anything to hide from me, and if you lie to me again, I really can't forgive you. 。“ Qin Lan’s words were still a joke, but she was using this joke to remind Qiao Liang that she could be deceived countless times, but she would not forgive him countless times. ” 。She is also flesh and blood, she can't stand repeated harm. She was also raised by her parents, pampered since childhood. She wasn't born to be deceived and hurt by Qiao Liang. 。"No, that's impossible." 。How do you think like Qiao Yu, so complicated? 。 Qiao Liang was still hiding it, but this time he was afraid, afraid that Qin Lan would distance himself from him again once he knew the truth. 。I went to buy medicine, I'll be back in a bit. 。Qin Lan turned and walked away. The moment she turned her back to Qiao Liang, the curve of her lips disappeared. 。She has already determined that Qiao Liang is hiding something from her, otherwise he wouldn't speak so uncertainly. 。What is he hiding from her? What is he deceiving her about? She even doubted if her persistence for over twenty years was 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? Should she leave with Jing Yi to find the best ending? 。After Qin Lan went downstairs, looking at the drizzle, her heart became even more confused. After buying medicine, she didn't intend to go home, but sat down in the pavilion downstairs. 。Try to calm your heart down, try to make yourself forget Qiao Liang's panicked expression just now. 。 Qiao Liang told her a lot, she thought that this time they could solve things together, and after solving them, the whole family could be happy together. 。Qin Lan really was facing this with such longing and Qiao Liang together, but today Qiao Liang's performance made her lose confidence in her own aspirations. 。

If she loses her confidence, everything will fall apart. She'll have to reconsider her current situation and find a new way to make a living for herself and her family.

。If you think about it carefully, their relationship with Qiao Liang was a mistake from the beginning. Since it's a mistake, there's no need to persist in it. 。She and Qiao Liang are 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 let their affairs affect their relationship either, and the two children could also have a warm home. 。She makes some sacrifices, and everyone is happy with the outcome. This kind of ending is more stable and easier to accept. 。Having seemingly found himself an escape route, Qin Lan 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. She didn't recognize it. 。I was going to ignore it, but the phone kept ringing. I finally picked up. 。“Hello, I am…” “You are Qin Lan” 。" Qin Lan hadn't even finished speaking when the other party gave her name. " 。However, the other person's voice left her brain blank. 。Although she hadn't heard this voice in over twenty years, although it sounded aged, she could still recognize the owner of the voice was Qiao Dexiang. 。"You..." "Yes, I am Qiao Dexiang" 。Joe Chiang is very domineering, and his voice is hoarse with a hint of anger. 。To be honest, Qin Lan was a little scared of this voice. Hearing it brought back the memories of all the threats, intimidation, and humiliation he had inflicted on her over twenty years ago. 。For more than twenty years, with the appearance of this sound, one scene after another became clear. 。She was hurt more by Joe Xiang's actions than Joe Liang's. 。He hurt her pride, he destroyed her job, he pushed her to the brink of despair, and almost drove her to suicide. 。Such people seemed like devils to Qin Lan at the time, demons that struck fear into anyone who heard their name. 。
