C265 A Battle of Attrition
Wangqiao and Han Shaojie made their choice. They wanted to continue being together. They thought that their days would be so peaceful. Unexpectedly, Wangqiao received a call from Qiao Lijin's father again.
"Wangqiao, I want to talk to you about the child."
Wangqiao suddenly understood that Qiao Shixun came for the child. He wanted to take away the two children, but even if she died, she would not give up on her own child. "Child, what do you want to talk about?"
"Wangqiao, the child is the flesh and blood of the Qiao family. You cannot deny this. I hope you can let the children acknowledge their ancestors." Qiao Shixun's attitude was very firm. This kind of attitude made Wangqiao very unhappy. She said bluntly, "The child's surname is Han now. It has nothing to do with Qiao family."
"Wangqiao, I hope we can peacefully solve this problem. After all, we are the family of the child. There is no need to make things difficult for us, right?"
"I will accompany you in whatever you want to cause trouble. However, I will not give up on the child. You can do whatever you want. Please don't call me again."
Wangqiao hung up after saying that. Qiao Lijin's father came forward to ask for the child. That meant... Qiao Lijin did not know. He understood the old man's expectations for his children, but she was now Han Shaojie's wife. It had nothing to do with Qiao Lijin. She also didn't want her child to know that Han Shaojie wasn't their biological father. She also didn't want to have any more contact with the Qiaos.
If they were kind, she might soften her heart and let her child recognize them. However, using such an attitude to snatch the child from her, she wouldn't tolerate it.
...
Qiao Lijin had not seen Wangqiao for a few days. He also restrained himself from disturbing her life. So, he did not know that she knew the truth.
But unexpectedly, his father, who was supposed to be in China, appeared in his office in K Country. Ever since he came to K Country, his father hadn't spoken to him. He was really surprised and delighted that his father had suddenly come looking for him.
"Dad, why are you here?" Qiao Lijin looked surprised, and his eyes were filled with longing and concern for his father. He personally poured tea for his father and sat next to him.
Qiao Shixun looked at Qiao Lijin. In a flash, so many years had passed. The little bean that he had held in his arms had grown up. He had become a high-spirited, insufferably arrogant man.
"I've come to see you. I have something to do at the same time."
Qiao Lijin raised his eyebrows. "Then you can stay for a while longer. I'll show you around. "
"Jin, you don't love the country, you love beautiful women. Leave home. His arrival in K had indeed made his father very sad and disappointed. But what makes me even more disappointed is that you actually hid something as big as having a child from me. If one day I suddenly die, will you let me die without knowing that I have a grandson? Even more so, you won't let me meet the children."
Qiao Shixun's words stunned Qiao Lijin. The child's matter could be said to be very confidential. How could it have reached his father's ears? "Who did you hear that was nonsense? There was no such thing."
"You still want to lie to me now?" Qiao Shixun's expression changed, and he was very angry. "I have already done the paternity test. Wangqiao's two children are the bones and blood of the Qiao family. You still want to deny it?"
Qiao Lijin knew that he could not hide it anymore. His father came prepared. He knew better than anyone how important the inheritance of the Qiao family was. His father's purpose of coming here was obvious. "Dad, you are still living happily by Wangqiao's side. You know about the existence of children, and you know that they are living very well. Isn't that enough? "
"You're the only one who would lie to yourself. Children of the Qiao family call others' fathers. The bloodline of the Qiao family, however, was surnamed Han. Perhaps until my death, he wouldn't call me 'grandfather'. In a hundred years, I won't call you father either. Is this enough? "
" Dad! "Qiao Lijin was anxious. He said," Dad, you should know how vicious and terrifying the curse is. Which of the women of Qiao family didn't die for the inheritance of their bloodline? ___ asked. However, Wangqiao survived. When she gave birth to the child, her heart stopped beating for a few minutes. But she came back to life.
She escaped the curse. All of this was because she had married Han Shaojie, because she no longer had anything to do with the Qiao family. Therefore, with the child by her side, she would no longer suffer the fate of being cursed. I don't want my child to live in the shadow of the curse like me."
"Since you can meet someone who can escape the curse. Then how do you know that your child can't meet such a woman? In any case, I won't let the flesh and blood of the Qiao family wander outside. "
Qiao Lijin said firmly," Dad, the child is mine. It's not up to you! "
Qiao Shixun was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes. He held his heart and gasped for breath. "You... You are not filial... You want to anger me to death, you want to anger me to death..."
" Dad, dad! "Qiao Lijin saw his father behaving like that and could not help but become anxious. He helped the old man to feel his heart and at the same time, he picked up the water to feed his father." Don't be angry, don't be angry! "
Qiao Shixun drank a mouthful of water and calmed down. He pointed at him and said, "You, you are too sentimental. If you have the ability, chase Wangqiao back and bring her back with the child."
"Dad, don't joke with me. Can Wangqiao go back with me now? Besides, I don't know what you and aunt look like. Can you accommodate Wangqiao?"
" Why can't I? She was the one who had contributed to the Qiao family's development. You either win the child over, or win the mother and son over together. "
Qiao Lijin felt that there was no way to make sense of his father, so he changed the topic." Dad, dad, it's your first time coming to my company, so I came to visit you. You can give some pointers as well. "
"I'm not going!"
Qiao Shixun's heart was full of grandchildren right now. Why would he have the leisure to tour around? Qiao Lijin forcefully pulled his father up and said, "Let's go, Old Emperor. I'll support you."
It was easy to get his father to the door. Qiao Shixun suddenly said, "I went to look for Wangqiao."
Qiao Lijin stopped in his tracks. He opened his eyes wide and looked at his father. He was anxious. "What did you say? You went to look for Wangqiao? Why did you look for her? "
" I told her that the child is the blood of the Qiao family. "
What?
Qiao Lijin's body stiffened, and his heart stopped beating. Wangqiao had forgotten everything. They had tried their best to hide it from her. Now, she knew everything!
Her father had clearly come to fight for the child. Wangqiao must be very angry. Even if she died, she would not give up on the child. However, since she knew that the child was his, that meant that she also knew about their past relationship and everything else. But... He had never contacted him!
What did that mean?
It meant that Wangqiao did not have any thoughts about him. It meant that she did not love him anymore. She chose to be with Han Shaojie. As for him, he would say goodbye to her along with his memories!
