"Why me? Why me of all people? I just want to be my parents' daughter. I don't want to be someone else's daughter."
“I have always believed that I was born of my parents, that my flesh and blood were given to me by my parents, and this is a fact I have never doubted.”
"Why do I have to face all this now?"
She so wished she hadn't heard a single word of what Old Mrs. and Old Mr. Qiao had said.
But once it entered her ears and her mind, it could never be shaken off.
All she wanted was to spend her life with her parents and repay their kindness in raising her. Why did she have to bear another destiny?
A feeling of hatred even arose in her heart, not hatred for her biological parents, not hatred for herself, but hatred for her fate.
She had finally escaped from the mire, thinking she could live a peaceful and tranquil life, but little did she know that fate had other plans.
“Ni’er, don’t think like that. Your biological parents are very good people. They have spared no effort for you and have devoted their lives to you. Only your presence by their side can save them and give them some comfort in their remaining years,” Grandma Qiao said earnestly.
She was very gratified. Nier didn't feel any alienation after hearing this. She only wanted to be with them and wanted them as her adoptive parents.
That's enough.
Thinking about the torment her biological parents had endured over the years, and how they were about to lose everything, while she knew nothing about it, Qiao Yunni cried even louder.
"I wish their daughter had never been lost, and I wish I were my parents' biological daughter. Everything was fine before, so why are you torturing me like this?" Qiao Yunni said, crying.
Grandma Qiao's face became solemn: "Ni'er, although you are not our biological child, you are better than our own. From childhood to adulthood, how have we treated you compared to your three older brothers?"
"The most important thing in the world is affection. It's good to be biologically related, but if we're not biologically related, as long as we treat each other as parents and daughters, what does it matter?"
"How many biological children are ungrateful wretches, breaking their parents' hearts, while how many adopted children know how to be filial? This is the difference of affection. Affection is what is truly worth cherishing, not blood ties."
Hearing what Grandma Qiao said, Qiao Yunni finally felt a little better, and her crying gradually subsided.
Yes, even if her biological parents are someone else, her bond with the Qiao family elders will not change, and she will still be their daughter.
Old Man Qiao continued, "Your mother and I discussed it all night. We were thinking of being selfish and keeping it from you, pretending we didn't know anything. In your heart, you will always be our own daughter, just like before. Isn't that wonderful?"
“But Ni’er, if we keep this a secret any longer, the Chu family will really be finished and never recover. Wouldn’t we become sinners then? Besides, this is your background, and you shouldn’t be kept in the dark.”
"And another thing," Old Mrs. Qiao added, "If Lian'er is going to Yuezhou to do business, it would be good to have a place to stay. To put it selfishly, acknowledging this marriage would be good for Lian'er and for the Qiao family. Of course, that's the least important thing; it also depends on your wishes."
Hearing that she could help Lian'er and the Qiao family, Qiao Yunni felt a little brighter.
To be honest, she knew how hard Chu's parents had worked, but having just learned about this, she couldn't immediately feel any affection for them.
Firstly, it fulfills their wishes; secondly, it would be even better if there were any benefits.
Qiao Yunni remained silent for a while, until her sobs stopped, then she nodded gently.
"Father, Mother, you raised me until I'm almost thirty. Besides Lian'er, you are the most important people in my heart."
Grandma Qiao's eyes welled up with tears, and Grandpa Qiao turned his back and secretly pressed a corner of his eye.
Oh my god, Yunni, stop crying, they've started again.
Having made up her mind and adjusted her state of mind, Old Mrs. Qiao went out and called Qiao Lian'er in.
