Speaking of this, Qiao's mother couldn't help but sigh, then carefully explained to them: "The matter back then was very complicated. I think it wasn't just Tianrui who was scolded, you two were also often affected. Ziheng, you even feel very guilty about it."
"But ultimately, this matter isn't your fault at all. After all, Tianrui's personality is just like that. It's hard to tell when he pretends to be indifferent in front of you."
"No." Zhou Ziheng shook his head decisively and refuted seriously: "We...actually, we noticed something, but since we didn't get anything out of him, we didn't take it seriously."
"We were too careless. If we had been more careful, perhaps... perhaps we wouldn't have ended up like this."
Zhou Ziheng has always been a very persistent and stubborn person. Once he has made up his mind about something, it is difficult for him to change his mind, and his opinions are naturally the same.
Although Qiao Tianrui had personally told him before that his death had nothing to do with him and that he didn't need to feel guilty about it, and he even felt sorry for dragging him down, Zhou Ziheng still couldn't let it go.
Because it was a human life, a real human life, the life of a friend who was as close to him as a brother! How could he just let it go?
Actually, it’s not a big deal, but people will always feel uneasy about the things they have not been able to achieve.
Although Yin Jingshuo didn't say anything, he actually agreed to some extent in his heart. They all felt guilty about Qiao Tianrui's death and hated themselves for not being more careful at the time.
After hearing these stubborn words, Father Qiao couldn't help but frown deeply. Then he raised his hand and patted their shoulders one by one, and said softly, "Don't have such thoughts again. It's wrong for you to think like this."
"No one is obligated to help others, even friends. Helping is a favor, not helping is a duty. What's more, you have always been willing to help him."
"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame him for not wanting to talk about it. He wants to handle everything on his own. Others want to help him, but he's unwilling to open his heart and accept help. This is his problem, and it has nothing to do with you, so stop dwelling on it."
Qiao Tianrui nodded seriously, and solemnly supported his father beside him, saying, "Yes! My father is right! It's all my fault. It's all my fault for not telling you!"
"So my good brothers, stop making things difficult for yourselves! I'm already dead, there's no way I'll ever come back to life. There's no point in dwelling on this issue. It's time for you to move on!"
Wen Wan also nodded and agreed, "Yes! Let the past be the past. The past is the past because it cannot be changed! Compared to the unchangeable past, isn't the future that can be controlled more important?"
"I think if Brother Tianrui knew about this, he wouldn't blame you. He would only blame himself for not being honest back then. The person involved has already let it go, so why are you still dwelling on it?"
"Ah, yes, yes! Wen Xiaowan is right!" Qiao Tianrui shouted with a smile.
Even Qiao Tianxin couldn't stand it anymore and joined in to persuade them, "Mom and Dad are right! This matter is our brother's fault for not being honest, not our brothers! So please let it go!"
Zhou Ziheng and the other man remained silent, as if lost in thought, after a long pause before nodding seriously and answering in unison, "We understand."
Father Qiao smiled warmly and nodded, saying, "That's a good boy!"
After completely untying their knot, Mother Qiao continued to explain, "You two are both good children, but that's precisely why we acted so coldly back then."
"Because we have always been as close as a family, we know that after Tianrui is gone, you will definitely take the initiative to take responsibility for taking care of us. However, you are already very tired from work, and we can't add any more trouble to you."
"So... you used that attitude towards us just to make us think you don't want to see us, so that we won't go back?"
Mother Qiao nodded, confirming his thoughts. "Yes, your uncle and I felt at the time that although we had lost Tianrui, we were not yet that old. We still had the ability to survive, so we didn't want to cause you any more trouble."
"Later... after much deliberation, we decided to move. Although we felt we were in the right place at the time, no one else felt the same way. When you become the target of public criticism, there's no point in saying anything!"
When Wen Wan thought about the misunderstanding and harm suffered by the Qiao family, she couldn't help but get angry, and she really wanted to act like a shrew and scold the street on the spot!
She forced herself to calm down and think carefully, and finally told the Qiao family about the clues left by Qiao Tianrui, but she hid the matter of the soul by the way.
After hearing the news, Qiao's parents couldn't calm down for a long time. Finally, Qiao's mother asked with trembling lips, "You...is this true? You're not just saying this to fool us, are you?"
"Of course it's true." Wen Wan nodded seriously.
He then explained carefully, "Because this matter involves so many people, the police are worried that the evil forces will bear a grudge against Brother Tianrui and retaliate against you and Tianxin, so they concealed this matter from everyone."
"Brother Tianrui wanted to save more people, so he was desperate and jumped off the building to commit suicide. It was never because of any so-called psychological reasons!"
Qiao's father and mother felt mixed emotions, and finally couldn't help but shed tears again.
Wen Wan pulled a packet of tissues from her pocket and handed it to them, then continued, "No matter how Fang Cheng treated him, he never thought of giving up or admitting defeat. If he hadn't had no other choice, I don't think he would have come to this point today."
