Chapter Twenty-Six: He also had a happy family
After having lunch at Qiao's house, the afternoon sun was good, sprinkled on the flat lawn, and every wisp was full of vitality.
Lin Qian stood outside the glass window, watching the two young maids in the yard playing and playing, and when he heard someone coughing behind him, he turned his head and turned out to be Old Man Qiao coming over on crutches.
He rejected the chair she moved over, and said with a smile: "It's good to be young, I think when I was young, I also loved to laugh and play with my girlfriend, young people are carefree, how can I have endless troubles now." ”
Vexation? Old Man Qiao really still has something sad.
Lin Qian asked with some gossip, "Is Old Man Qiao's girlfriend Qiao Mohan's grandmother?" ”
A hint of strangeness flashed in Old Man Qiao's eyes, he pursed his lips and smiled, but the temperature of his smile decreased a little, "No, Qiao Mohan's grandmother was a noble lady at that time, and my girlfriend was just an ordinary country girl." ”
What does this mean, could it be that Old Man Qiao broke up with an ordinary girlfriend and married the right lady instead?
Lin Qian swallowed, should Old Man Qiao be reminding himself in a roundabout way that her family background is not worthy of Qiao Mohan, and he thought that he did not dislike his background.
"I loved my girlfriend very much at the time, and I would rather run away from home than be with her, and then my family threatened her family to leave me, but there was no way, I was afraid that my family would hurt her, so I gave her a sum of money to let her go abroad, and then married Qiao Mohan's grandmother."
It's really a poignant love story, maybe Mr. Qiao was forced to do so back then.
Just when Lin Qian was sad, Old Man Qiao said unexpectedly: "Many years later, I still fall in love with Qiao Mohan's grandmother, but I don't regret marrying her, because only her family can give me the strength to have a backer to fight for the inheritance with other brothers." ”
Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, and sure enough, she still turned to this problem, and sooner or later she would have to face the Qiao family's inquiry about her family background.
In addition to her short-term sadness, she was also a little lucky, if Old Man Qiao really accepted her family background, then her marriage with Qiao Mohan would be blown up, wouldn't it be something she dreamed of.
Lin Qian pretended to smile helplessly, "Old man Qiao, the situation between me and Mo Han back then was like you and your girlfriend back then, after Mo Han married me, will you regret it?" ”
Old Man Qiao glanced at her and replied unmoved: "It's okay, although I don't regret it, but this matter has always become my heart disease, I also looked for her later, but she went abroad for less than two years, and she fell ill abroad and left." ”
Before Lin Qian could speak, Old Man Qiao patted her shoulder again, as if to comfort her, "Don't worry, I know what you're worried about, but my Qiao family is not short of in-law strength now, Mo Han has been busy for the family for so long, I hope he can marry his true love, and there will be no heart disease in the future." ”
Lin Qian was stunned, he wanted to cry and laugh, Old Man Qiao wanted his grandson to marry true love, I am afraid that he would not expect his grandson to have a contract marriage.
This Qiao family is really elusive.
After Old Man Qiao left, Lin Qian was going to say goodbye and go home, Qiao Mohan didn't know what to do in the study, she couldn't wait for a long time, and the housekeeper asked the driver to take her home.
"No need, I'll send it, after all, it's my future cousin-in-law."
Someone on the sofa suddenly spoke, and Lin Qian looked back to see a young and handsome man standing up and winking at her.
There are so many handsome guys in this Qiao family, the genes are really well inherited, Qiao Mohan is already close to the ceiling of handsome guys, although this one is not as good as him, but it is also quite good.
Pei Nanxin buttoned up his suit and walked over, and said with a smile: "Don't you remember me, we had dinner last time." ”
Yes, yes, Lin Qian nodded violently, when she first came to Qiao's house, there was this man sitting next to her, but she was bent on dealing with Qiao Xiangyue, so she didn't remember that there was such a handsome guy, it was really a sin.
Pei Nanxin made a gesture of please, quite a gentleman, which added a little goodwill to Lin Qian's heart, it was really much more interesting than Qiao Mohan's guy, no wonder Qiao Mohan was a single dog.
Lin Qian got into the car, Pei Nanxin thought that she really couldn't remember herself, and explained: "I am Qiao Mohan's cousin, and Qiao Xiangyue is my mother." ”
Qiao Xiangyue really brought her an incomparable psychological shadow, it turned out to be Qiao Xiangyue's son, which really made her happy in vain.
Pei Nanxin's eyes were very sharp, and he could see her displeasure at once, and said with a smile: "Are you thinking that I will be like my mother, always rambling around you?" ”
She was stunned for a moment, and he continued to explain: "Don't worry, my brother and I are the most annoying to my mother's nagging, both of our childhood lives were spent in her nagging, my brother has no parents, so my mother is equivalent to half a mother." ”
By the way, about Qiao Mohan's family, Lin Qian has always been very strange, what major changes have happened in his family, why are his parents not there.
"You were talking to grandpa just now," Pei Nanxin skillfully turned the steering wheel, "Did grandpa tell you about my uncle and aunt?" ”
Lin Qian said strangely: "That's not true, but Old Man Qiao told me about his former girlfriend?" ”
Pei Nan was a novice and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Old Man Qiao to talk to you about this, but the story of Uncle and Aunt is very similar to that of Grandpa's ex-girlfriend." ”
This is a tragedy, Lin Qian sighed in his heart, could it be that Qiao Mohan's parents' marriage is also a tragedy?
Pei Nanxin's eyes were dark, as if he was calculating something, "Future sister-in-law, don't you know that your uncle and aunt died because of a plane crash, and my brother was only five years old at that time." ”
Did the plane crash and both crash to their deaths?! Lin Qian's eyes widened instantly, she didn't expect Qiao Mohan to be worse than her, she also has a father, she has lived in her adoptive parents' house since she was a child, and her adoptive parents treat her like their own daughter.
Pei Nanxin said helplessly: "When my uncle and aunt were here, my brother was a lively and cute little boy, but after they passed away, my brother's personality changed greatly, and I basically never saw him smile." ”
Lin Qian's eyes slowly dimmed, she rarely saw Qiao Mohan laughing, even if she laughed, it was just ridicule and sneering, hearing Pei Nanxin say this, she also knew what the reason was why Qiao Mohan was so rejecting people thousands of miles away.
It turns out that Qiao Mohan is also a person who has had a happy family.
Pei Nanxin told her that it wasn't enough, and by the way, he added the final blow, "Do you know why I said that it is very similar to the story of Old Man Qiao?" ”
Lin Qian said strangely: "Because they all passed away, is it a tragedy?" ”
He shook his head, a sneer appeared on his lips, "Not only, when my uncle and aunt fell in love, the Qiao family was in a financial crisis, and they needed marriage to rescue the Qiao family, but unfortunately my aunt is a pianist, and the family is engaged in art, so I can't help anything." ”
Lin Qian slowly clenched her fingers, she knew what Pei Nanxin was going to say next.
