In high school, Qin Jiahui was the school's recognized aloof school grass, an untouchable flower on a high peak.
Chapter 308 His First Child
Before hanging up the phone, Cheng Yiyi, still with that malicious and boastful face, said condescendingly, "Let me tell you, Chu Yao, although we are both flesh and blood of our mother, I will always be the one favored because I am smart, cute, and sweet-talking. As long as I admit my mistake to her, she will definitely take me in and live happily ever after!"
Chu Yao was also very much looking forward to her being able to trick Song Huiping back, and encouraged her: "Contact her quickly, go!"
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yao turned and left the prison.
Chu Yao no longer cared about anything else Cheng Yiyi said.
But when she mentioned the pen, she really felt sorry for her grandma.
She did very well in the high school entrance exam that year and was admitted to Fengpu No. 1 Middle School with a score among the top ten in the city.
But she never asked for any reward from her parents.
Because the grandparents and grandson lived in financial difficulty, they bought cheap school supplies that were usable.
Apart from school supplies, nothing else is needed.
Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes the next day after the high school entrance examination results came out, I saw a satin pen case on my pillow.
When I opened it, there was that beautiful blue pen inside.
Grandma also said that she bought it with the money she won playing mahjong.
But later Aunt Wang and others told her that her grandmother made the money by making mung bean soup and selling it at a stall in the square every day in the middle of summer before her high school entrance exam, at 30 cents a bowl.
Later, it was stepped on and broken by Cheng Yiyi, but Song Huiping did not blame Cheng Yiyi.
She blamed her grandmother and the pen: "Fountain pens are easy to break, and so is your grandmother. Why buy a fountain pen for a child? I'll buy you a box of ballpoint pens."
Everything Cheng Yiyi said was still this version of hurt.
All the grievances of being deliberately ignored and asked to endure came to an abrupt end when she was only 17 years old.
In previous versions, until she was 27 years old, Song Huiping had always shown infinite favoritism towards Cheng Yiyi countless times.
Now Song Huiping talks about guilt, making amends, and redemption... But in fact, every time she says it, those words are like barbed hooks, scratching the wounds in her memory that have long been scabbed and torn open with blood.
The heavy iron prison door slammed shut behind him.
Isolated from the world inside and outside.
The sunlight outside was so bright that Chu Yao felt dizzy and her stomach was churning.
However, this seems to be more than just a psychological reason. She has been suffering from the aftereffects of lack of oxygen when she fell into the water. It usually doesn't affect her life much, but it only happens occasionally.
She squatted down to catch her breath.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Qin Jiahuai's voice suddenly came from above his head.
Chu Yao was about to explain when he picked her up steadily with one hand the next second and held her in his arms as he strode towards the black car parked on the side of the road.
The car door opened, Qin Jiahuai carefully placed her in the back seat, and then he got in.
He closed the car door, blocking out the huge shadow cast by the prison.
"Going well?" he asked.
Chu Yao nodded: "It went smoothly. I know Cheng Yiyi too well. She will take the bait if provoked. Now she will probably do anything to see her mother, even if it means breaking her arms and legs."
Qin Jiahuai nodded.
There was a brief silence in the car.
Qin Jiahuai suddenly asked: "Are you unhappy?"
Chu Yao smiled and said, "I'm happy, I'm so happy. I'm just waiting for Cheng Yiyi to trick my mother back. There's no airport in Yuncheng, so my mother will definitely get off the plane in Fengpu. Once we get to the airport, you can find a chance to control her."
After Chu Yao finished speaking, she didn't hear Qin Jiahuai's response for a long time.
She looked up at him.
His cold, dark eyes stared at her, as if he could see through her.
Chu Yao didn't know why, but Qin Jiahuai was only two months older than her, but he seemed to have a calmness and insight far beyond her.
Although they are of the same age, he has always been indulgent and doting on her because of his age.
She felt guilty and looked away.
She was indeed unhappy.
But she has never dared to express negative emotions.
She is afraid that those who love her will be sad, and that those who don’t love her will say she is ignorant.
He suddenly leaned closer, running his fingers through her hair and cupping the back of her neck, forcing her to look up slightly and meet his gaze.
He asked seriously, "Tell me, okay?"
Chu Yao couldn't help but feel a little sour in her throat. All the grievances she had suffered as a child came rushing up to her head, but she didn't know how to say it.
After a long pause, she spoke with a heavy nasal voice, "Song Huiping is such a failure as a mother. I absolutely don't want to be a biased mother in the future."
Qin Jiahuai guessed this would happen, and he gently held her in his arms.
In fact, he noticed when he was a child that Chu Yao liked to pretend to be optimistic.
At the parent-teacher meeting, he had a letter that was confiscated by his mother, and in the end he didn't have the courage to show it to Chu Yao.
My mother laughed at that letter for three days and three nights.
Besides what she read at the parents' meeting, there are many more...
He still remembers quite a bit.
for example:
My time, my patience, everything I have is yours.
You can be willful, you can be fragile, you don't have to be so strong.
In my eyes, you are always number one, with the highest privileges and the only preference...]
At 27, I can’t say these words anymore. They’re too pretentious.
But there are some things I still want her to know.
He spoke solemnly, with the certainty of a declaration.
"Chu Yao, you are the only one in Qin Jiahuai's life who has absolute privileges."
The dull pain in Chu Yao's heart miraculously subsided and was replaced by a hot heartbeat.
She also reached out and hugged him tightly.
Qin Jiahuai gently rubbed the back of her head: "After all, you are the first child I raised. You have called me dad since I was 17 years old. I will definitely be responsible for you for the rest of my life."
"...No, buddy, you were having a good time being sentimental, and now you're doing this again!" Chu Yao pushed him away. "I'm so annoyed. Let's go."
Qin Jiahuai looked at her expression and knew that she was really fine now, so he moved to the front seat and Chu Yao also moved to the passenger seat.
The two were about to leave when Qin Jiahuai suddenly received a call.
After listening for a while, he frowned and said, "No, I'm already married."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Chu Yao asked: "What's the matter?"
Qin Jiahuai: "It's family open house this afternoon, and the advertising manager insisted on introducing someone to me for a blind date."
Chu Yao knew it was Wei You as soon as she heard it.
Last time she talked to Xiao Qin and asked Xiao Qin to go to the hospital to find out why Gu Ke abused Wei Wan.
But Xiao Qin has been taking final exams recently and has no time.
He will probably finish his exams tomorrow, so I can go and observe secretly.
Then I can also contact Wei You from here to see if there are any new discoveries.
Chu Yao suddenly asked, "What are we doing on Family Day?"
Qin Jiahuai: "Visiting, experiencing, popularizing knowledge, and networking. We visited retired passenger aircraft, experienced simulated flights and emergency escapes in various situations, and learned about aviation."
He didn't mention the social gathering, but Chu Yao knew it was to introduce singles to potential partners and to introduce married people with children to playmates for their children.
Chu Yao said: "I want to go, and I want to take my grandma with me."
Qin Jiahuai gave her a deep look and said, "You can't go. Only family members can go."
Chu Yao also remembered that they hadn't obtained a marriage certificate yet, so she immediately said, "Then why don't we just get married?"
Qin Jiahuai replied lightly with "hmm", looked straight ahead, and drove back.
He didn't say anything, but the curve of his lips couldn't be suppressed at all.
This was the first time she took the initiative to propose to him.
happy!
