Qiao Tiancheng should be resting, and has changed into a set of Chinese pajamas with long sleeves.
The embroidered crane pattern and plum blossom buttons on the pajamas make me appear more loving and gentle.
He smiled and asked Qiao Yang, "The third child? Still not going to bed so late?"
"I… "
Qiao Yang was speechless.
The memory of the original owner that gradually disappeared made him feel guilty when he was in trouble twice when facing the Qiao family.
In addition, I am ashamed to accept the sincere concern of Qiao Zhen and Qiao Jin. Momentary emotions surged up, instructing him to come to Qiao Tiancheng to confess his identity.
However, after seeing Qiao Tiancheng, Qiao Yang didn't know how to speak.
He became nervous and hesitantly said: "I'm sorry, I... Did I disturb your rest? I just wanted to... want to tell you something... "
The voices from behind were getting quieter.
Qiao Tiancheng laughed heartily: "Why don't you disturb me. I haven't slept yet."
He let Qiao Yang enter the room and sat face to face with him on the sofa in the corner of the room.
With smiling eyes, he asked Qiao Yang tentatively, "Seeing that you are so nervous, do you want to tell me about you and Xiao Gu?"
Qiao Yang was taken aback: "You, do you know about me and Gu Ye?"
Qiao Tiancheng patted him with a smile: "Your father, I have lived for most of my life, will I not even have this vision?"
"The last time we ate at your house, I saw that he was interested in you. At your elder brother's wedding, I also saw that you were interested in him."
Qiao Yang asked him in a low voice, "...Aren't you objecting?"
Qiao Tiancheng couldn't help patting him on the shoulder, with a slightly reproachful tone: "Are you afraid of being like this, are you worried that I will oppose you?"
"You are grown up now, and you are a lot more sensible. I believe you are not on a whim when it comes to your feelings."
"And I know this kid Xiao Gu. He is a responsible kid. If you two like each other, why would I disagree?"
He calmed Qiao Yang again: "You have someone you like, and it's too late for Dad to be happy for you."
"It's just..."
He sighed: "I think he was going to tell me and your brothers about the two of you today, but... suddenly something like this happened, and everyone didn't eat well."
Qiao Yang clenched his hands on his lap and said softly, "Gu Ye... He won't do anything bad for the Qiao family."
Qiao Tiancheng: "I know, don't worry about this, it's none of Xiao Gu's business."
"Actually... it's because our Qiao family has offended many people over the years."
"After all, Qiao's development to today's scale has hindered the fortunes of many enterprises and companies, and the future of how many people have been eliminated. It is impossible not to attract jealousy and revenge behind the scenes."
"The scourge that should come always comes back, but it's all concentrated in this period of time, making these people feel that they have an opportunity."
He said to Qiao Yang earnestly, "That's why I often ask you three brothers to be cautious and keep a low profile when they are outside."
"I don't worry that you live outside alone because of these. I'm afraid that if you encounter any danger, there will be no one around you."
He gave him another consoling smile: "You also persuade Gu Ye not to let him go too far because of this."
"We all believe in your brother and agree that you are together, but don't let this affect your relationship."
Every sentence was for his sake, and he comforted him to speak for Gu Ye.
Qiao Yang looked at Qiao Tiancheng gratefully, and the feeling of guilt just now filled his heart again.
He called out, "Dad..."
But he didn't dare to look directly at Qiao Tiancheng, his hands were nervously clasped together on his lap.
"I actually..."
Just after saying a few words, Qiao Yang was at a loss for words again.
Qiao Tiancheng is a kind father. From his usual attitude towards Qiao Zhen and Qiao Jin and his three brothers, it can be seen how much he cherishes his children.
If he was told the fact that his third child had long since been gone, it would be a huge blow to a father who was over fifty years old, and it was also a cruel fact.
But not to mention, he was ashamed of their good intentions and deceived their feelings, making his conscience uneasy.
And the disappearing memory will sooner or later make the Qiao family discover the fact that he is not the original owner.
Qiao Tiancheng began to worry when he saw Qiao Yang's hesitant appearance.
He asked softly, "Third, did something happen to you?"
He also encouraged him to say, "Don't be afraid. No matter what it is, just tell Dad. My two brothers and I will help you solve it."
Still in a loving tone.
Words can make people feel safe and can rely on the deep father's love.
But this also made Qiao Yang even more reluctant to hide the truth.
He didn't dare to look at Qiao Tiancheng, lowered his head and stared at the floor of his feet and said slowly: "... Three months ago, I moved out of this house for a reason, and it was also because of me that I gave up Qifeng Terrace. know some things…”
Qiao Yang bit his lower lip and took a deep breath: "I stopped outside the Qiao's courtyard wall with Gu Ye in the evening because... I couldn't find my way home... "
"The third one!"
Qiao Tiancheng was watching him with worry and his eyes suddenly changed. He hurriedly shouted to interrupt what Qiao Yang was about to say.
"...you don't say it."
The tone of voice changed, and even the breathing began to rise and fall.
He stood up from the sofa, took two steps forward, stood with Qiao Yang behind him, his voice was low: "...I know, I know..."
Qiao Yang raised his head in astonishment.
He realized something.
When Gu Ye and the others circled around the Qiao family villa and couldn't find the entrance, Qiao Tiancheng suddenly appeared and showed them the way.
At the dining table, he couldn't remember the fight with someone because of a tree when he was in school in the United States. Qiao Tiancheng helped him out of the siege by saying that he was young and ignorant.
It seems inadvertent, but now I think about it carefully: Qiao Tiancheng, he may have known it long ago.
Qiao Yang looked at Qiao Tiancheng's back in shock, his heart was raised high, and the nerves all over his body were instantly tense.
And Qiao Tiancheng.
The stalwart and tall father just now stood a little stooped, and his shoulders and chest were shaking slightly.
He was holding back his intense emotions.
It took a long time for him to speak: "... A child who has been raised for more than 20 years has suddenly changed his personality. As a father, how could he... not be able to find out."
His voice was trembling, and there was sadness and heavy sadness in his tone.
Qiao Tiancheng had already discovered it!
It has long been known that he is no longer the old third of the Qiao family.
Qiao Yang's eye circles instantly turned red: "I'm sorry, I, I'm not..."
"You listen to me."
Qiao Tiancheng interrupted Qiao Yang again, but still stood with his back to Qiao Yang.
Qiao Yang couldn't see his expression, but he could imagine the sadness and sadness of a father when he learned that his son was not his own.
But why is Qiao Tiancheng still being so kind to himself
He didn't understand, so he could only wait quietly for Qiao Tiancheng's explanation and judgment on him.
He thought that no matter what Qiao Tiancheng said to him or what he asked him to do, since he possessed the body of the original owner, he would fulfill his obligations as the Qiao family.
Qiao Tiancheng slowed down for a long time before exhaling a long breath.
Then he stood up straight again, and told Qiao Yang something in a calm voice: "The Qiao family started business from my grandfather's generation and entered the business world. And day by day, the family business has been expanded."
"But when I was a child, a fortune teller predicted to him that if the Qiao family continued to do business, the family would only be prosperous for three generations. And I am the third generation."
"I'm not convinced, so I have been running the Qiao family conscientiously over the years, and I don't dare to relax at all."
"Until three months ago, I had a dream..."
Qiao Tiancheng spoke slowly, as if telling a story:
"I dreamed of something in the future. I dreamed that the Qiao family was completely defeated and embarrassed. The Qiao family, which enjoyed a century-old reputation, was ridiculed and ridiculed by the world. It was obviously a dream, but it was an unforgettable reality."
"I also dreamed that the third child said sorry to me and said goodbye..."
Having said this, Qiao Tiancheng choked up: "...I saw the third child standing on the Qiao's building...jumping down. I can't catch him..."
Qiao Tiancheng was still standing with his back to Qiao Yang. Qiao Yang couldn't see his expression, only his slightly trembling shoulders, and two drops of tears falling on the floor under his feet.
The man over fifty years old is trying his best to hold back the sadness in his heart, and he doesn't want anyone to see it.
Qiao Yang didn't know how this man felt when he first discovered that he was not the third child.
It should be unspeakably sad.
Maybe he had been sad and sad in hiding in the room when no one was there.
The emotions that filled Qiao Yang's heart turned into hot tears at this moment, which flowed out uncontrollably.
After a long time in the quiet room, Qiao Tiancheng made a sound again.
"After waking up from that dream, my third child has changed."
His tone suddenly became light:
"The third child no longer stumbles upon the two brothers in the family, no longer thinks about inheriting all the Qiao family's business, and even voluntarily gives up the Qiao family's shares..."
"He found the conspiracy behind the Qiao family, solved the Qiao family's crisis, and his relationship with his two brothers is getting better and better."
"At the beginning, I thought, did the third child have the same dream as me, so that he would become sensible and humble..."
Qiao Yang was already sobbing: "No, no..."
He knew it was cruel to say that. But Qiao Tiancheng knew everything, and Qiao Yang didn't want him to deceive himself.
"Boy, I know, I know."
Qiao Tiancheng finally turned around.
His eyes were red, but there was a smile in his eyes when he looked at Qiao Yang: "When your mother was alive, we all believed that the arrival of each of your children was a kind of fate for us."
"A kind of fate destined by God, so that you should be our children, and we should be your parents."
He looked at Qiao Yang deeply, his tone was slow and deep: "Child, you too."
"...You are also my child by some chance, it's a kind of destiny. Isn't it?"
He asked softly, looking at Qiao Yang's eyes with anticipation, and even some cautious nervousness.
Qiao Yang looked at him and understood the meaning and expectation in his eyes.
I also understood why Qiao Tiancheng hid the truth and did everything to himself during this time.
Maybe it was really some chance that he came to this world and became Qiao Yang, who looks the same and has the same name and surname.
Just as he and Qiao Sheng were brothers in the original world, Qiao Zhen from the Qiao family has the same face as Qiao Sheng.
He has no impression of his parents in the original world. As far as he can remember, he was fostered with Qiao Sheng in a relative's house.
But if there is a father, maybe... it should be like Qiao Tiancheng.
In order not to let himself cry, he bit his lip and couldn't make a sound.
After brewing for a long time, I swallowed the obstacle like a ball of cotton in my throat, and after a long time I shouted: "...Dad."
Hot tears flowed out unsatisfactorily.
Tears flashed in Qiao Tiancheng's eyes, and he agreed: "...Child, don't cry."
He walked over and hugged Qiao Yang, who was sobbing. He patted his back with a generous and powerful palm, and shouted, "... the third child."
Then he took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions to make what he said more relaxed and natural:
"Your elder brother told you about the business exchange meeting next week? You will come with me then."
After Qiao Tiancheng finished speaking, he let go of him and patted Qiao Yang's shoulder with one hand, his eyes were red but he said with a proud smile:
"When the time comes, let them all see how good the third child of my Qiao family is."
