章節 32: ~Restless~
"So tell Uncle, what really happened? Who do you want to marry? What about the lover you always tell your uncle and mother? What's his name? Min?"
"No, Uncle. I will not marry him," Qiao Xin replied. Qiao Xin seemed to lower her head, and then she smiled bitterly. Guilt began to creep into her heart. After having a relationship with Jia Min, how could it not be what Qiao Xin did was to continue to boast of the man? Every time she returned to her hometown, every time she told about the man. But in the end, Qiao Xin had to swallow a bitter pill. Qiao Xin had to admit that she had made a mistake. What she was proud of wasn't that good. Or rather, the figure that Qiao Xin was proud of was a terrifying one. The worst man Qiao Xin had ever known, and she didn't want to remember anymore. Shame, that was the first thing Qiao Xin felt at this time. How not, Qiao Xin will be laughed at by many people, especially her neighbours around the house. Qiao Xin knows her mother continues to boast of her lover in front of many people as a dashing man. Responsible and loves Qiao Xin with all her heart, even though Qiao Xin's mother herself had not met Jia Min. But in the end, what could Qiao Xin do? Qiao Xin Giving the harsh reality to her family that she had cut ties with that bastard man. "I broke up with that man some time ago," continued Qiao Xin. She flashed a faint smile, then lowered her face again.
Uncle Qiao Xin, who saw that his nephew looked sad, couldn't help but take a deep breath, his hand tightly gripping his nephew's hand affectionately. After all, in Uncle Qiao Xin's eyes, Qiao Xin was already considered his son. Either because Uncle Qiao Xin had no children or because Uncle Qiao Xin's love for her was great.
"Uncle will never ask, and will never judge anything about your past, Qiao. Whatever it is and with whomever it is, even the reason behind your breakup with your ex-boyfriend. If it's hard, don't tell me, because after all you have the right to have privacy that you won't tell anyone, even your own family, including Uncle."
"No, Uncle. It's really not a big problem for me. It's just that when I wanted to tell the story, I felt really, really embarrassed. I feel as if I have disappointed you. Disappointed Mother, disappointed Uncle. I didn't think that I had made the wrong choice, chose the wrong man to be my life partner even though it had been happening for years. Don't you think I've wasted a lot of time because of that bastard?"
Qiao Xin's uncle smiled again, and he took a deep breath while looking at his nephew's gloomy face.
"There's nothing wrong with love, nothing wrong with spending time with the wrong man. It will actually make you more mature, because the pain and disappointment will teach you many things so that you can learn and not fall into the same hole. However, this marriage matter, how could it happen? Have you known this man for a long time? And, what about his personality? Uncle doesn't want you to make the wrong choice again, and you'll end up getting hurt again. After all, this is a wedding. It's a big decision that needs to be carefully considered."
Qiao Xin lowered her face again. Marriage? Yes, she has to do this wedding. However, this marriage must take place smoothly. However, she became doubtful whether it was right for her to tell her uncle the truth about everything? About a contract marriage that he will do this? Qiao Xin was sure that her uncle would be furious and would do many things to thwart this marriage. However, Qiao Xin didn't want her to lie to her entire family. One of her family must know that she will not feel alone if later something happens and even a divorce happens. At least Qiao Xin still had a place to complain, and Qiao Xin had a place to pour out her worries. Because Qiao Xin had no one else, she could call a friend.
"I met the man who will marry me, not yet a month, Uncle. And maybe our marriage is considered a sudden marriage, no romantic dates, no words to know each other further. You could say I didn't recognize him at all. I don't know his favorite color, I don't know his favorite food, I don't know his favorite drink, what he likes and doesn't like, or even I don't know his hobbies. On the other hand, he doesn't know anything about me either, Uncle. We are bound in a complicated bond, not a bond of mutual liking, attraction or even love. We are two people who hate each other, we are two people who can never love each other forever."
"If that's the case, why did you marry him, Qiao? Stop the stupid thing you're about to do. Don't do anything unreasonable. Stop hurting yourself. Don't let you cry just by the strange decisions you made, Qiao."
"The man's grandfather is very sick, Uncle. The old man didn't have much time left to live in this world. Grandpa's last wish was to see his grandson marry me. Because according to Grandpa, I am a woman who is suitable to be side by side with his grandson. At first I refused, his grandson refused. Because we don't love each other, and of course what we have is hate. However, when I saw Grandpa was critical, and dying in the ICU, I couldn't do anything. My heart is broken, and I'm so scared of losing that Grandpa, Uncle. The image of Dad's last moments and how I couldn't grant Dad's wish was etched in my mind. Until I finally chose to accept Grandpa's request."
"Qiao, don't be stupid. Do you know the Grandpa and his family? How are they? How can you risk your life to a family that you don't even know them at all. Stop doing this, Qiao. Uncle will-"
"Uncle, I'm not completely at a disadvantage in this,"
"What you mean?"
"I got a very large amount of money, and I can use that money to redeem the land certificate, and pay off all the debts Mom owes here. It can even be used for An Xin's school fees until she graduates from college. I also profited from the marriage, Uncle."
