Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Qiao Yun Couldn’t Imagine Such a Situation Arising Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Qiao Yun Couldn’t Imagine Such a Situation Arising She had never seen Qiaoqiao with this idea before, so why did she suddenly start thinking this way?

Qiao Yun, on the other hand, wondered, “Isn’t forming a family about being with someone you like?”

The more Su Mian thought about it, the more she felt something was amiss, and she tentatively asked, “Does Qiaoqiao have someone she wants to start a family with now?”

Qiao Yun thought for a few seconds before denying, “Not yet.”

Her feelings for Li Hanzhou were not yet strong enough to want to start a family with him, and Qiao Yun could not imagine such a scenario happening, so she denied it.

Su Mian let out a sigh of relief, thinking that no feelings meant no one she liked, which was good, very good…

She really couldn’t imagine anyone in the world who could be worthy of her daughter.

With that thought, two people involuntarily flashed through her mind.

It’s not that there wasn’t anyone. Li Hanzhou and Pei Yao were both quite suitable, be it in terms of family background or excellence; they were appropriate in every aspect.

But Li Hanzhou had the look of someone doomed to a solitary life.

As for Pei Yao, considering Qiaoqiao treated him like a nanny, it was unlikely that such feelings would ever develop.

Wait… was Qiaoqiao going to be single for life?

Su Mian was baffled.

As soon as Jingzhi came over, he saw his mother in a daze and asked, “Mom, where’s my sister?”

Su Mian came back to her senses, “She’s in the kitchen.”

Jingzhi curled his lips, his voice filled with pleasure, “It seems I’ve come at just the right time to enjoy the delicacies made by my little sister’s own hands.”

Seeing his mother looking somewhat down, Jingzhi asked again, “Who has made you unhappy?”

Su Mian waved her hand, “It’s nothing. How would you understand a mother’s heart?”

If Qiaoqiao couldn’t find a man to her liking in the future, wouldn’t she end up lonely and without support?

Su Mian felt having a smart and capable daughter was both a sweet and troubling matter.

The more capable the person, the harder it is to find someone who truly cares for her.

But it didn’t matter; she was there. She would always be with Qiaoqiao, until her precious daughter no longer needed her.

The old man just happened to come back from the garden leisurely and upon seeing Jingzhi, he suddenly said something inexplicable, “Jingzhi, don’t escape just because you’re afraid of disappointment.”

Jingzhi: “?? Grandfather, what are you talking about?”

The old man’s mood turned solemn, “Otherwise, you will end up like me, unable to make amends. Alas, there are no pills for regret in this world.”

Jingzhi was stunned for a moment before he belatedly realized that grandfather was telling him not to avoid his sister because of her identity.

He said with a bitter smile, “I’m not.”

The old man shook his head, “Don’t be stubborn, you know very well whether you are or not.”

Jingzhi’s throat felt constricted, he didn’t continue to argue and let out an almost imperceptible sigh.

He did.

He knew.

As his sister’s true identity was being revealed layer by layer, he felt increasingly embarrassed about what he had done in the past and increasingly doubted whether he still deserved his sister’s forgiveness.

Jingzhi had never been so tormented before, and this question had troubled him for a long time.

And his sister had done so much for the family, constantly proving his previous perceptions of her wrong, which made it even harder for him to open up and have a face-to-face conversation with her.

Perhaps only if his sister told him in person, “I forgive you,” would he be able to let go of his worries.

Jingzhi had been in quite a good mood due to the Qin Family matters; now, his grandfather’s words had totally brought him down.

Lu Shiran and Lu Zhanxing had come back from a fight just in time for dinner.

Everyone at the dining table had different thoughts on their minds.

Su Mian’s mind uncontrollably drifted towards her daughter’s future happiness.

Jingzhi was still troubled by his grandfather’s words.

The old master sighed regretfully, wishing he could kill Old Man Qin.

Lu Shiran was so exhausted he could barely stand, lacking even the strength to speak.

Lu Zhanxing joyfully ate two large bowls of rice. His sister rarely cooked; this was a precious opportunity he had to cherish.

Qiao Yun was completely clueless about what was happening.

“Grandpa,” Lu Shiran suddenly spoke up, waiting for the old master to look at him before he pursed his lips and said, “I want to go see them.”

The old master was stunned for a moment before he realized who Lu Shiran meant by ‘them’ and without much hesitation, nodded, “Alright, let’s go tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Once Lu Shiran made up his mind, he could finally eat properly.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen it before; he went every year, and the last visit was during Qingming Festival.

But this time, it meant something different.

…

The next day.

Lu Shiran went to pay respects to his biological parents, accompanied by Lu Xian and Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun was worried about Lu Shiran. Even though Lu Shiran was her elder brother, Qiao Yun always had the illusion that she was the elder one.

The two tombstones were next to each other.

Lu Shiran looked down at the smiling photos of a man and a woman on the tombstones.

One with handsome looks and the other beautiful, he had visited so many times before and only felt a sense of familiarity. Now knowing they were his biological parents, Lu Shiran felt slightly dazed.

He remembered as a child being curious why he looked so much like his uncle.

His dad had told him it might be genetics skipping a generation.

Who would have thought the truth would be so harsh.

Qiao Yun watched Lu Shiran’s slender figure.

Was he sad?

Qiao Yun lowered her eyes, her thoughts wandering to her own grandfather unexpectedly.

She had felt very upset at the time, a feeling of distress she had never experienced before. She didn’t know why then, but now she understood.

It was because she had been mourning.

Lu Shiran moved his lips, instinctively glancing at Lu Xian, who hadn’t said a word beside him.

Lu Xian simply nodded at him.

Immediately, Lu Shiran’s heart filled with courage, his voice slightly rough as he began, “Dad, Mom, I’ve come to see you.”

As soon as he spoke these words, his nose tingled sharply, and his eyes reddened.

A wave of sorrow surged up, spreading an odd discomfort in his chest, and he felt a slight constriction in his throat…

Lu Shiran took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, it was much smoother, “According to the timing, if you had been reincarnated, you’d be about my age now… Sigh, it’s a pity that even if I met you, I wouldn’t recognize you. But even if I did, I couldn’t call someone my age Mom and Dad. Otherwise, let’s be brothers instead. If you’re willing to be brothers, just give me a sign…”

Lu Xian: “…” It seemed his worries were unnecessary.

Lu Shiran rambled on with many words.

Qiao Yun kept watching him, yet she felt a certain heaviness in her heart, not understanding why.

Was it empathy, perhaps?

Another new experience for her, they say some humans are very empathetic. So this is what it feels like.

Qiao Yun twisted her eyebrows, not particularly fond of this feeling.

When it was time to leave, Lu Xian patted Lu Shiran’s shoulder, telling him, “They would be very happy knowing how outstanding you are now.”

Lu Shiran nodded, perking up and patting Lu Xian’s shoulder in return, “Eh Dad, you can rest assured, even though I’m not your biological son. I am your son for life, and you will always be my dad, after all, so much affection over the years. You don’t need to worry I won’t take care of you in old age.”

Lu Shiran clicked his tongue, “Honestly, I do wish I could be brothers with my real dad, and let him take the blame whenever I mess up. Who ever said that kids’ debts should be paid by their parents?”

Lu Xian: “…” His fist itched a bit.
