Over the years, he often wondered if he had not lost his temper that day.
If only he hadn't objected to that marriage back then.
Or, things could be completely different.
Or, Yu Rou would not die, and this child would not have to be displaced and suffer hardships.
The death of his second daughter is an eternal pain in Qiao Haoting's heart.
"sorry!"
The old man slowly bent towards her.
"Grandpa!" Chu Xiaochen hurriedly stepped forward and held the old man's arm, "You... don't blame yourself anymore, I... I don't blame you. As long as you don't dislike it, I will always be your granddaughter.
.”
Because she had been scolded as a scoundrel since she was a child, she could also understand Qiao Haoting's internal conflicting feelings, but she had no resentment towards him in her heart.
These days, with Luo Jun, Chu Xiaochen has regained his confidence.
Break out of the cycle of guilt and self-blame. The past is in the past. Looking forward is the most correct choice.
My parents are dead, so what's the point of pursuing them now?
She was lucky to be able to know all this while Qiao Haoting was still alive. It gave her at least a chance to further her filial piety and let the elderly enjoy the happiness of a family.
Qiao Haoting, who has been in the shopping mall for many years, was already in tears at this time.
"Good boy, good boy!"
"Grandpa!"
With a soft call, Chu Xiaochen threw herself into the old man's arms and burst into tears.
After so many years of living under the shelter of others, all the feelings of isolation and grievance came out.
Qiao Haoting was also in tears, "Hey!"
Yang Lin stood in the distance, silent.
Luo Jun stood on the steps, looked at the old man and the young man hugging each other, and sighed softly.
He can give her the most love in the world, but there are some things he can't give her.
For example, blood is thicker than water.
Luo Jun knew that these were what Chu Xiaochen had always longed for deep in his heart.
only……
Thinking of Qiao Yujun and his daughter, Luo Jun narrowed his dark eyes.
Looking at the two of them, he finally walked over and gently patted Chu Xiaochen on the shoulder.
"Stop crying, you should be happy today."
"Well." Chu Xiaochen also raised his face, wiped his eyes that were a little red from crying, and smiled with tears in his eyes, "That's right, grandpa, didn't you say you prepared a gift for me? Where is it?
?”
"Come in with me." Qiao Haoting led her into the living room, and then pushed a box on the table towards her.
Chu Xiaochen found the box and found a set of top-notch brushes inside.
"And this!" Qiao Haoting opened the drawer and took a delicate small wooden box and gave it to her, "This is the key to your mother's room. It contains her things from childhood to adulthood. I originally planned to tell you later,
However, since you already know, go and take a look now, the first one on the left on the second floor."
Chu Xiaochen took the key and his eyes fell on Luo Jun.
"Go." Luo Jun smiled encouragingly at her, "I'll wait for you downstairs."
Chu Xiaochen went upstairs with the key in hand. The two men listened to her footsteps disappearing on the stairs and looked away at the same time.
"Luo Jun, take a seat." Qiao Haoting raised his hand and motioned for him to take a seat.
The two of them sat on yellow pear wood chairs respectively. Qiao Haoting took a deep breath and said, "This child has suffered a lot, treat her well."
Luo Jun tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair twice and said calmly, "I won't let you down, and I hope you won't let me down."
