Chapter Seventy-Three

A second chance.

‘You’re being unfair,’ Du Lei Xin said. ‘Yes, big brother mistreated you in the past. But can’t you see he’s changed?’

‘I can see,’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.

Qiao Tan Yuan admitted Gu Jiao Wu had changed a lot. He didn’t disrespect and underestimate her like he did in the past. He didn’t look at her like he hated her guts, and he wasn’t cold toward her. But she was frustrated he changed for Xiao Bao’s sake. She would rather he looked down on her than cared about her because of Xiao Bao. He wouldn’t want to be with her if Xiao Bao wasn’t in the picture. She didn’t want the empty title of Mrs Gu again. If Gu Jiao Wu didn’t love her, he wouldn’t hesitate to divorce her after he secured custody of Xiao Bao and she would be left with nothing.

Du Lei Xin could neutrally see Gu Jiao Wu’s perspective, and Qiao Tan Yuan’s perspective because he wasn’t in the eye of the storm with them. Perhaps Gu Jiao Wu hadn’t figured out what was in Gu Jiao Wu’s heart. But it would be a better outcome if he didn’t interfere in their love life.

Du Lei Xin parked the car, and Qiao Tan Yuan opened the passenger door.

‘Tan Yuan, if big brother is willing to take the first step, it means in his heart there is you,’ Du Lei Xin said. ‘In the middle of you two is yours and big brother’s daughter. If you still love big brother, give him a second chance. If you don’t love big brother anymore, forget I said anything.’

Qiao Tan Yuan stood where Du Lei Xin’s car parked for a while before she walked into the Qiao Mansion.

‘Tan Yuan, where were you last night?’ Mrs Qiao said. ‘I called and texted your phone. But you didn’t pick up or reply. Even if you’re not worried about me worrying about you, you should think about Xiao Bao.’

‘Mum, how is Xiao Bao?’ Qiao Tan Yuan asked.

‘Last night aunty gave Xiao Bao a bottle of milk, but she didn’t want to drink,’ Mrs Qiao said. ‘Xiao Bao cried herself to sleep.’

‘I’ll go see Xiao Bao now,’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.

Mrs Qiao held Qiao Tan Yuan’s hand to stop Qiao Tan Yuan walking upstairs.

‘Xiao Bao is still sleeping,’ Mrs Qiao said. ‘Explain to me where you were last night.’

‘I…’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.

‘Did Lei Xin drive you home?’ Mrs Qiao asked. ‘Tan Yuan, what are you doing? One minute it’s Shen Cheng, and the next minute it’s Lei Xin. What do you want?’

‘Mum… it’s not what you’re thinking,’ Qiao Tan Yuan said. ‘I’ll go upstairs to see Xiao Bao.’

‘Tan Yuan…’ Mrs Qiao called.

Mrs Qiao sighed. She wasn’t in charge of Qiao Tan Yuan’s heart, and could only support Qiao Tan Yuan’s decision.
