Chapter 829 Qin Mo's Suspicion
After saying his closing remarks, Qin Jiangye left with Lin Tan.
After getting in the car, Qin Jiangye noticed that Lin Tan was still holding the bag and showed no sign of opening it. He gestured with his eyes, "Don't you want to open it and see what's inside?"
"I'll look at it when I get back." Lin Tan was used to unpacking things only when she was in her own place.
Qin Jiangye did not force him.
Thinking about what had happened that day, Lin Tan took the initiative to say, "Thank you for today."
Qin Jiangye: "Hmm?"
Lin Tan: "Thank you for helping me turn down Miss Chi's invitation."
If Qin Jiangye hadn't spoken up, Miss Chi would probably have repeated it several more times.
For an ordinary person like her to refuse an invitation from a wealthy heiress is truly ungrateful.
"What do you think of her?" Qin Jiangye asked, his tone still unreliable.
"Quite lively," Lin Tan said, picking out her strengths. "She's poised and confident."
Qin Jiangye chuckled softly.
Lin Tan was puzzled.
“It’s just us here, no need to be so cautious with your words.” Although Qin Jiangye said this, he ultimately said the rest himself, “She’s not a kind person. If you’re going to deal with the Xie family in the future, try to have as little contact with her as possible.”
"Okay," Lin Tan replied.
Qin Jiangye: "Aren't you going to ask why?"
Lin Tan: "Ultimately, it's for my own good."
In fact, she could tell that Chi Jing was wary of her and even looked down on her.
She also knew that her interactions with Xie Yi and Madam Jun were deliberately staged for her benefit.
Although she didn't know why she was doing it for her.
"My cousin doesn't get along with her either, but she's always too lazy to bother with her," Qin Jiangye chatted casually, remembering the past events clearly. "You have no status or background, so you're easy to be targeted."
Lin Tanyi agreed to all of them.
Seeing that she was more silent than usual, Qin Jiangye couldn't help but think of what she had said there: "Oh, right."
Lin Tan glanced sideways.
"Why haven't I heard you mention before that you were adopted by your parents?" Qin Jiangye recalled this.
“It wasn’t adoption, I was picked up from next to a trash can,” Lin Tan explained. She accepted the situation calmly. “My sister suspected I wasn’t Dad’s biological child, so she got a paternity test done, and it turned out I wasn’t.”
Qin Jiangye raised an eyebrow slightly: "Where are your biological parents?"
Lin Tan: "I don't know."
Lin Tan: "They said they found me next to a trash can in Jinhuai Town. If I'm not mistaken, my biological parents are probably in that area too."
Qin Jiangye: "Not going to look for it?"
Lin Tan: "Not for now. I'm not sure whether I was abducted or abandoned."
Even though I said that, I felt in my heart that the possibility of abandonment was greater.
If someone is being trafficked, it's unlikely they'd be near a trash can.
Qin Jiangye didn't say anything more, but he told Qin Mo about it.
When Qin Mo saw the news, he was at Yu Peiyun's house discussing the fact that Qin Muchuan's second trial upheld the original verdict.
Qin Jiangye: [Could you help Lin Tan find her biological parents? If she was abducted, tell her; if she was abandoned, pretend you never looked for them.]
Qin Mo: "?"
Qin Mo: [Biological parents?]
Qin Jiangye explained the situation to him.
Qin Mo replied with "I understand".
"I told you he's heartless, and you still defend him." Seeing that Qin Mo still had the mind to reply to messages on his phone, Yu Peiyun accused Qin Luofeng, "Your father is like this and he's still unmoved."
“Brother…” Qin Luofeng rarely stood on Yu Peiyun’s side.
Putting aside other things.
Now that the verdict has just been handed down, they, as the children, should take care of their mother's emotions.
But ever since I left the courthouse, my brother has been in a rather cold mood.
They didn't even show the most basic concern.
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now." Qin Mo stood up, unaffected, his face still as frosty as ever. "As long as Dad reforms himself properly, there's a chance his sentence can be reduced."
"Look at this!" Yu Peiyun exclaimed angrily, "This is your good brother!"
Qin Mo did not respond and walked away.
Qin Luofeng chased after him.
Just as Qin Mo got into the car, Qin Luofeng called out to him, "Brother."
Qin Mo stopped.
Qin Luofeng walked over with a complicated expression. Looking at his face, which showed no emotion, she felt a little dissatisfied: "Mom and Dad have lived together for so many years and have never been separated. Now that Dad is in trouble and in jail, she needs comfort right now."
"Hmm," Qin Mo replied calmly.
“She actually really wants your attention,” Qin Luofeng added, “but she’s just too stubborn to say it.”
Qin Mo: "You're overthinking it."
Qin Luofeng: "Try saying a few words if you don't believe me."
"What should I say? Tell her not to be sad and that we'll stay by her side? Or tell her that we'll help Dad get out soon?" Qin Mo's face remained as indifferent as ever, his emotions unwavering.
"Anything is fine," Qin Luofeng said. "As long as it's out of concern."
“I’m not you. She doesn’t care about me that much or have that much of a bias.” Qin Mo knew very well how Yu Peiyun treated him, so he never said much. “If I really said anything, she would just say it was my fault and that I was being fake.”
Qin Luofeng paused.
Thinking about his mother's temperament.
It is indeed possible that he said those things.
"She's fine with you taking care of her." Qin Mo had no intention of getting involved. "I can help you if things get too busy at the company, but I can't do anything else."
"Don't you want to develop a relationship with her?" Qin Luofeng asked. "Mom's mood probably won't be very good for the next year or even two or three years. Can you bear to leave her alone?"
“We’ll only argue,” Qin Mo said.
Qin Luofeng blurted out, "Just give in to her a little, she's still our mother after all."
This was followed by a long silence.
The wind blew past my ears, and the leaves of the trees beside me rustled.
The two people standing opposite each other remained silent.
After a while.
Qin Mo spoke up: "If I hadn't given in, I should have remembered the slap she gave me and the things she said outside the courthouse for the rest of my life, instead of pretending it never happened and continuing to deal with things as if nothing had happened."
Qin Luofeng was taken aback.
“Your parents have always been good to you since you were little, and they always think of you. I understand that you want to speak up for them.” Qin Mo doesn’t have much affection for his parents, only a basic sense of responsibility. “But I’m not you, and I’ve never received that kind of care and attention.”
After saying this, Qin Mo got into the car and left.
All he could do was try his best to solve their problems.
As for emotional and psychological aspects.
They are mutually exclusive.
There's no need to force them together.
As the car drove away, Qin Mo leaned back in his seat for a few seconds, thinking about what Qin Jiangye had said. He couldn't help but think of Aunt Jun's daughter who had died young.
In a short time.
A suspicion began to form in his mind.
"Is Grandpa still staying with Jiang Ruan?" Qin Mo asked the driver, Xiao Xu.
"I went to Mr. Chi's house today," Xiao Xu replied. He occasionally delivered things to Mr. Qin, so he knew his whereabouts best. "He should be back tonight."
Qin Mo: "Let's go to the Chi family's old residence."
Lin Tan was originally convinced that she was her parents' biological child, but now things have taken a turn for the better.
What about Aunt Jun and her husband's daughter who died young?
Could there be something fishy going on?
