Qiao Youliang patted Wen Zhongxuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't compare yourself to Jiang Qiao. How many people can be like Jiang Qiao?"

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. Learn from foreigners: once they've raised their children to eighteen, they've fulfilled their responsibilities as parents. The rest is up to the children to make their own way in the world.

The methods we used to use to educate children are no longer applicable. You have to let go. You can't stop letting go if you don't, because children simply won't listen to you.

What's done is done, what can we do? You should settle things for you and your son first, then we can talk about other things.

"If the child isn't doing well, we can always get a divorce. The Wen family can easily support a daughter, so don't worry about it."

Wen Zhongxuan waved his hand, "Forget about the kid. I'm going back to stay with Jiang Qiao tonight. Didn't my older brother say he had something to give us? I'll go take care of it. We'll set off together tomorrow."

Qiao Youliang nodded. "Okay, you should go back and take a look. I don't know what the boss wrote. You guys come over again tomorrow."

After Jiang Qiao and the others returned, they introduced their uncle and cousin to the veterans and then took the two men to unpack their boxes.

Cao Mingyuan came over at this time. "Hehe, girl, how are you? We're leaving tomorrow. Start preparing early and pack whatever you need to bring."

Jiang Qiao pointed to the three packages on the cabinet. "These are gifts for you, Lao Zhang, and Lao Liu. My uncle brought them back. There aren't many, so we'll share them among the family. You take Lao Liu's package back and give it to him when they come back."

Clearly, Cao Mingyuan hadn't expected Jiang Qiao to share gifts with them. "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? They brought these all the way here for you, how can we accept them?"

"Don't mention it. It's for you, so please accept it. I don't give it to others, and it's nothing valuable."

Jiang Qiao has always been generous, and after spending a lot of time with her, Cao Mingyuan and the others no longer treat her like an outsider.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. This time, let's see what things from abroad are like."

After Cao Mingyuan sat down, he told Jiang Qiao about something important.

"What? They met as a family?"

"It's understandable that Cobra wanted to see his daughter; it might be the last time they saw each other. Besides, the special envoy had also made a request, so we arranged for the family to meet. However, the scene was not very pleasant."

Jiang Qiao sighed, "That's to be expected. Dou Yanhua's life was originally quite peaceful, but these two people have ruined it. They've made a scene time and time again, and now her child is in this state."

Besides, that woman must have begged Dou Yanhua to save her child. I can't speak for others, but Dou Yanhua herself? Asking for a kidney? She'd be lucky to get away with it; she'd be lucky not to turn on her. Recognize parents? I've never seen parents like that.”

"That's exactly what we did, right? The family had a pretty unpleasant argument, but we've done everything we could."

Jiang Qiao remarked, "You guys are really humane, considering the feelings of these two people. However, it's clear that Dou Yanhua didn't make things easy for them."

Cao Mingyuan nodded in agreement. "That's right. So, I wonder what these two old guys are thinking after meeting them."

By the way, Ning Hao and your father are all fine for now, so don't worry. Although Haozi is young, he's experienced and has a lot of life experience. Perhaps, his presence there would be a great help.

Speaking of her father and husband, Jiang Qiao sighed, "I want to go now, but my boss won't allow it. I have no choice. I hope Lao Liu can help me out there."

If there are any enemy spies we missed, it'll be a perfect opportunity for this half-baked father to prove himself.

Cao Mingyuan pointed at Jiang Qiao and said, "You know, you really know how to say 'Dad' so smoothly. No wonder Old Liu got such a lucky break, having a daughter like you. He should be secretly happy. If I'd known, I would have taught you too. I regret it now—"

Jiang Qiao smiled with her lips pursed, "Who knew so many things would happen in the future? Back then, I just thought that helping out was enough, and that we should do our best. Sigh, those guys kept pestering me, and they ruined me."

After exchanging a few words, Cao Mingyuan left with his things. He would accompany them tomorrow; he needed to go back and prepare.

Jiang Qiao pondered for a while, then went out and made a phone call to her hometown. Jiang Xiuqi answered the phone and immediately smiled when he heard Jiang Qiao's voice.

"Girl, you're able to show your face now? You can make phone calls, which means the matter has been resolved, right?"

Hearing Jiang Qiao's laughter, Jiang Xiuqi couldn't help but feel happy too.

"Uncle, you're really smart, you even guessed that, haha. Now, I can contact you. My uncles and the others have arrived, so I can't go back yet."

Tell my grandpa and the others not to worry, I'm doing well here. Haozi has a mission, so he won't be going back for now. Tell my grandpa and the others to stay home and not worry. I'll go back as soon as I've finished dealing with things here.

"Okay, then come back soon. Your grandpa and the others are worried about you. Take good care of yourself, girl."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qiao called Chu Lin again, contacting her through someone in the team.

Hearing Jiang Qiao's voice, the old lady got excited. Her eldest grandson had gone to find a wife, but she didn't know what the situation was like with her. Haozi hadn't said anything either.

Hearing Jiang Qiao's voice, the old lady felt relieved. She thought to herself, "That girl is capable. How could she just die like that?"

Even if he was dead, they didn't see the body at home, so the old lady really didn't believe the rumors circulating outside.

Upon hearing Jiang Qiao's voice, Chu Lin's emotions immediately surged: "Girl, is everything alright? Is everything resolved?"

Jiang Qiao responded on the other end, and Chu Lin pressed on, "Girl, how's the baby? I heard from Haozi that you went to the hospital while pregnant. Is the baby alright now?"

"Grandma, the baby is fine. I'm still waiting for you to help me with my postpartum care. Also, I sent you some money and some things. You should receive them in a few days. Haozi has some things to do here and can't come to see you for the time being. Don't worry about that, we'll be back soon."

The old lady patted her chest and said, "It's good that you're all alright. Come back soon, Grandma is waiting to take care of my great-grandson."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qiao quickly walked out of the post office. When she returned, she saw that her uncle and cousin both had red eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Wen Zhongxuan gave a bitter smile. "Your eldest uncle wrote me a letter. Seeing this letter made me feel bad. He said that his biggest regret now is not forcibly taking me away back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't have suffered so much. Your eldest uncle feels guilty towards me whenever he thinks about it."

Actually, this isn't your eldest uncle's fault at all. Your maternal grandfather asked for my opinion, but I refused.
