Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Workaholic Dad 6
Because Zhuo Zhuo was exhausting enough, Qin Jin had taken care of the baby for two days without realizing that his baby should have a mother. Only when Qin Xi mentioned it did he remember the information he had seen yesterday.
Zhuozhuo's biological mother is a woman named Wu Jingqiu, who was a nurse four years ago. She secretly took away Qin Jin's sperm while he was in a coma after the car accident, fled abroad, performed artificial insemination, and successfully gave birth to a child.
Wu Jingqiu had originally planned to send her child to the Qin family when he was five or six years old and sensible. Mother and child would work together to continuously solicit money, hoping that with luck, the child could even become the Qin family's young mistress. However, plans can't keep up with changes. While the child was still young, Wu Jingqiu was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer and optimistically estimated she had only a month to live.
Perhaps it was because her maternal love was awakened before her death that Wu Jingqiu sent the child to the Qin family and took the initiative to tell them the whole story, only asking the Qin family to raise the child because of her young age and not to vent their anger on her.
Regardless of how illogical and illegal this was, the facts were already established. Qin Jin accepted Zhuo Zhuo, but he had no intention of forgiving Wu Jingqiu. It was just that this matter was so bizarre, and with its connection to the wealthy and erotic, it was bound to be interpreted maliciously.
Qin Jin didn't care about these things, and was confident that he would not let such news affect the Qin family and the group, but Zhuo Zhuo could not be hurt by these rumors and malicious speculations.
If Qin Jin simply wanted to cover up this matter and punish Wu Jingqiu, he had a hundred ways to do it. But Wu Jingqiu and Zhuozhuo's relationship made many of these methods ineffective. Qin Jin pondered this and suddenly realized that Zhuozhuo had been with him for so long and had never even looked for his mother.
This is not normal.
Qin Jin hung up the phone and picked up Zhuozhuo, who was circling around him with the robotic puppy. To prevent Zhuozhuo from suddenly crying for his mother, he didn't mention Wu Jingqiu directly. Instead, he carefully planned to use a quick question-and-answer format, asking questions in a timely manner to get answers without giving Zhuozhuo time to think or react.
"Who did Zhuozhuo live with before he came to live with his father?"
"With Mom and Dad!"
Qin Jin: “…”
9972: [……]
Zhuozhuo answered very quickly, and 9972 had no time to stop him. It was so nervous that it was about to smoke, and was thinking quickly about how to get around it.
However, before 9972 could come up with anything, Qin Jin made up the story himself and earnestly warned Zhuozhuo, "That's not your father. That man is just your mother's lover. Zhuozhuo, don't call other men dad from now on. Dad will be unhappy."
Zhuozhuo initially missed and worried about his parents, but upon hearing this, he immediately shook his head and retorted, "No, no, it's Dad! Dad is Mom's brain husband! Mom is Dad's brain wife!"
Qin Jin was very concerned. "Even if that man is your mother's husband, he is only your father in name only, temporarily. Zhuozhuo, I am your real father, and I am your only father. Your mother's previous husband and future husband are not your father."
This was too confusing, and Zhuozhuo didn't quite understand it, but she did understand that Qin Jin said her father wasn't her real father. How could this be possible? Zhuozhuo was so anxious that she grabbed Qin Jin's shoulders and shook him, "It's dad, it's dad, it's dad! Qin Jin's dad is temporary, there will be many more Qin Jin dads in the future!"
The two people were talking at cross purposes, but every word they said was a typo.
9972 was about to let out a sharp explosion. [Baby, baby, you can't say that. Stop it.] Why did it explain so much to Zhuozhuo in the first place? She didn't understand. Wouldn't it have just taken her through each world one by one?
But the anxious Zhuozhuo didn't listen to 9972 at all, and repeated the last sentence many times, making Qin Jin's face turn green.
Qin Jin didn't think anything else, just that Wu Jingqiu had dreamed and said nonsense in front of the child, and the child remembered these words. He supported Zhuozhuo's excited body, which was about to fall, and reluctantly gave in. "While I am your father, you will not have another father."
Zhuozhuo still wanted to argue with Qin Jin. No matter whether Qin Jin was her father or not, her father was her father, her biological father!
9972 blurted out the point before Zhuozhuo could speak, "Zhuozhuo, Qin Jin is right. When you're accompanying Qin Jin's father, the father behind you won't show up."
Zhuozhuo felt something was wrong, but Qin Jin didn't want to talk to her about this anymore. "Let's go shopping at the mall today. Zhuozhuo can pick out a gift for Dad, okay?"
"Okay!" Zhuozhuo became excited and kicked her legs to ask Qin Jin to put her down. She grabbed the mechanical puppy's ears and announced in a baby voice, "Wangwang and I will buy a gift for Daddy together!"
"Thank you, little cotton jacket."
Qin Jin leisurely followed the carefree Zhuozhuo and texted Qin Xi "no see you." He had already decided that Zhuozhuo wouldn't learn much from Wu Jingqiu, and Wu Jingqiu wouldn't live long either. Better to cut off their contact now, let their feelings fade, and save Zhuozhuo from heartbreak.
Zhuozhuo didn't miss her mother or anyone else, which meant Wu Jingqiu didn't spend much time with her. The people who cared for Zhuozhuo changed frequently, so they couldn't develop a deep bond. If that were the case, Qin Jin wouldn't bring it up. Children have short memories; they might forget they even had a mother after a while.
If 9972 knew what Qin Jin was thinking, she could probably tell him why Zhuozhuo missed his mother. Because Zhuozhuo was often hospitalized in the ICU, during which time his family couldn't accompany him, Zhuozhuo had become accustomed to being separated from his parents at regular intervals and was a very independent baby.
Moreover, now that Qin Jin is by her side and she is in good health, Zhuozhuo lives a fulfilling life. Even if she occasionally feels like missing him, 9972 will distract her in time and she won't have time to express it. No wonder Qin Jin would misunderstand her.
Qin Xi called again, "Next week is Mom's birthday. Will you come? Mom misses you very much."
Qin Jin smiled, but his voice was cold and distant: "I can go, Qin Xi, it's you who don't want me to go."
"Brother! Mom and I didn't mean to stop you from coming. It was your previous attitude that was the problem. You weren't here to celebrate or be with Mom; it was like you were being forced into a business gathering! You treated our family dinner like a work-related social event! I didn't want Mom to be sad, and I didn't want to force you, so I suggested you not come!"
Qin Xi was a little emotional, but she tried to remain calm and said, "Brother, although Mom missed your childhood, her love for you has not diminished at all, and her guilt has only deepened over the years. You didn't believe it before, but now that you have a child, you should be able to understand Mom's feelings."
"I'm sorry, but I can't because I never do anything I'll regret."
"Brother! Can you please stop being so stubborn? Just because Zhuozhuo is your child, you've gone against your norm and made exceptions for her multiple times. Once blood ties and parentage are confirmed, the impact on a person is so strong. Besides, Mom and you have been together for thirty years. Mom truly loves you, and you've been hurting Mom's heart all this time."
"Qin Xi, your call was too urgent."
Qin Jin was a little amused. "I take care of Zhuozhuo because I like her, but it has nothing to do with blood. I don't think my mother doesn't love me, it's just that this love was not expressed when I needed it. Now even if this love is overflowing, I no longer need it, so I am too lazy to respond."
On the other end of the line, Qin Xi was stunned by these coldly rational words. After a moment, she said, "Qin Jin, you have no heart."
"You could think of it that way."
Qin Jin hung up the phone, took two quick steps, and picked up Zhuozhuo, who had almost bumped into someone, with one hand, and simply let her sit on his arm. "Zhuozhuo, what do you want to buy for Daddy?"
Zhuo Zhuo's vision suddenly rose, and she saw more things, a dazzling array of things. She looked for a while, hugged Qin Jin's neck, and said softly: "I don't know what to buy for Dad. What does Dad need? What does Dad like?"
The little guy is quite good at asking questions.
Qin Jin teased her with a smile, "Dad has everything he needs now, and the one he likes is Zhuozhuo. Will Zhuozhuo give himself to me?"
"Zhuozhuo is Qin Jin's father's treasure." Zhuozhuo said seriously, and suddenly had a good idea, "How about I give Dad something I like?"
"Okay, Zhuozhuo is so smart." Qin Jin acted as a human vehicle. He went wherever Zhuozhuo pointed, with a smile on his face, gentle eyes and a doting expression. Anyone who saw him would think that he was a good father with a harmonious family and loved his children.
In reality, there wasn't any particular grudge or conflict between Qin Jin and his family. It was just that Zhao Xian was ambitious in his youth, and he and Qin's father had expanded their business empire. Once they achieved success, the couple turned their attention to their son, only to discover he had grown into an emotionally apathetic child.
They felt guilty and regretful. They tried to make up for Qin Jin's missed childhood, but they could never melt the ice. So the couple decided to have another child to accompany their son and comfort their hearts that were hurt by their son.
Sadly, Qin Xi's father passed away unexpectedly before he was even a year old. Raising a child is no easy task, and Zhao Xian had to manage the turbulent company while caring for a baby, leaving her with no energy to care for her son.
So, the guilt was always guilt, and it was only guilt. It was not until Qin Jin went to college and started an internship at the company that Zhao Xian suddenly realized that she and her son had become strangers.
Zhao Xiant initially thought Qin Jin resented her, so she explained their dreams, the cruelty of reality, and her helplessness, hoping he would understand and let go of his grudges. But Qin Jin told her that he had no grudges or grudges, he just didn't need them.
Qin Jin was a prodigy when he was little. He also had a period of longing for family affection, but his precocious wisdom quickly made him realize that work was more important to his parents than him. Little Qin Jin was not sad, and he comforted himself in his own way.
Everyone can choose the most important thing. His parents chose his career over his career, and he can also choose Sudoku over his parents.
