Chapter 491 Qiao Changdong's Merging of Two Lifetimes' Memories

In the third life, those who can see Qiao Qiao glowing, those with bubbles on their heads, and those who can see Xiao Yuan are all people who received her kindness in the first life and who genuinely love her.

After listening to the giant tortoise's story, Qiao Qiao remained silent for a long time.

These things were somewhat beyond her comprehension.

However, in any case...

This world has changed its previous bad world rules, which is undoubtedly a good thing for her, the Qiao family, and even this small world.

After all, such a world law that blurs right and wrong would be a disaster for everyone.

As for why the world's laws were suddenly replaced, it's because Bi Yatong and Shen Qingrong died.

The phone call Shen Qingyan just received was from Kyoto.

It was a friend Shen Qingyan had asked to tell him before leaving Kyoto.

Shen Qingrong and Bi Yatong have already been executed by firing squad. I made this call specifically to inform him of their deaths.

Now Qiao Qiao was even more certain that the laws of this world had indeed been changed.

When Qiao Qiao was carried by Shen Qingyan to Qiao Changdong's ward, she couldn't wait to share the good news with him.

But before she could even speak, Qiao Changdong pulled her into a tight embrace.

Qiao Changdong held the little body tightly in his arms, his hands trembling, his eyes filled with an overwhelming love and pain.

"Dad?" Qiao Qiao found Qiao Changdong's reaction a bit strange and looked up at him with a puzzled expression.

"My darling, you seem to have shrunk a little more." That's all Qiao Changdong said, his eyes reddening and glistening with tears.

When he closed his eyes, tears welled up in his eyes.

"My sweet baby, it's so good that you're back by Daddy's side. I'm sorry, it's because Daddy is not capable enough to protect you."

With his last words, Qiao Changdong buried his head in Qiao Qiao's small shoulder, his voice filled with guilt and heartache, and warm tears soaked the clothes on her shoulder.

"dad?"

Qiao Qiao found everything Qiao Changdong said today to be very strange.

She shifted, trying to observe his expression, but as soon as she raised her head, Qiao Changdong covered her eyes with one hand.

He didn't seem to want her to see him like this.

While Qiao Qiao was completely confused, Qiao Changdong suddenly asked her from above.

"Sweetie, do you remember how clingy you were to your dad when you were about one year old?"

Qiao Qiao thought for a moment and shook her head.

Even with her memories from her previous life included, she still didn't remember anything before she was one and a half years old.

Hearing Qiao Changdong ask this question, Shen Qingyan, who was standing next to him, also looked over curiously.

Qiao Changdong is undoubtedly a good father.

Before he started driving trucks, the Qiao family was not well-off. Children from ordinary families might not have their photos taken even once from birth to adulthood.

However, Qiao Changdong insisted that Qiao Qiao take two photos every month.

Two photos are not many, but they are enough to record all of her growth trajectory.

A photo costs one dollar.

From birth to the present, excluding the six months since she reunited with Yan Liti and Shen Qingyan, Qiao Qiao has taken nearly eighty photos in the other three and a half years.

Those photos, along with the negatives, are now all carefully preserved by Qiao Changdong in a photo album.

The photo album was also something Qiao Changdong bought at a high price when he was driving a truck in a big city.

These days, few people buy a photo album after taking pictures.

In places like Hongfeng Town, most families arrange the photos neatly on a table, and then place a transparent glass plate on top of the table.

This makes the photos easy to view and manage.

The photo that Qiao Qiao was exposed was the one Chen Yulian stole. After Chen's mother and Chen Xiu'e had their accident, Qiao Changdong went to the Chen family and searched for the photo, taking it away.

“When your dad first went out driving a car, you were about this size now. It took your grandma, your aunt, and your third aunt three of them to pull you off me.”

As Qiao Changdong spoke, he lowered his head and kissed the little girl's fluffy head.

What he didn't say was that Qiao Qiao was actually crying in her grandmother's arms, while he was crying in the car, his vision blurred from crying.

Another time, he was away on a long-distance trip for two whole months.

When they returned to the Qiao family, Qiao Qiao was already one and a half years old.

A one-and-a-half-year-old child has limited memory; how could he possibly remember that his father had been gone for two months?

She was nestled in Grandma Qiao's arms when he excitedly reached out to hug her after returning home. However, she resisted and pried at him with her little hands, looking at him with unfamiliar eyes.

Even now, when Qiao Changdong thinks about it, his heart aches.

After that incident, he stopped running such long distances unless absolutely necessary. Even if he did run, he would always rest for ten days or half a month and stay at home to let his children get used to him again.

certainly.

What pained Qiao Changdong even more was that Qiao Qiao was eight and a half years old at the time.

Shen Qingrong suddenly appeared.

Armed with a paternity test report, he claimed Qiao Qiao was his child and forcibly took the child away from him.

The day Qiao Qiao was taken away, she cried in the car, and he chased after her.

He didn't remember how far he had run, only that when he stopped, his legs were almost completely useless and his eyes were swollen like walnuts.

My heart ached as if it had been shattered into a million pieces.

Qiao Qiao was taken away for a year.

He did try to look for it.

Especially in the first three months after she was taken away, there was not a single phone call or letter.

His daughter seemed to have vanished from the world.

It's as if he was dreaming for the first eight years of his life and didn't have a daughter at all.

Longing kept Qiao Changdong awake night after night.

But Kyoto is so big, and he is so insignificant, he can't find it, he really can't find it.

He spent all his savings but still couldn't find her.

He even once wandered around Kyoto's most bustling area like a stray dog ​​or a beggar. The most precious things he had were the few photos of his daughter that he carried in his arms.

He went door to door asking, and posted portraits and missing person notices all over the streets, but he still couldn't find his child.

Later, Meng Zhengcheng and Qiao Xiaoyun, who couldn't stand his dejected appearance, came over and forcibly tied him up and took him back.

Meng Zhengcheng told him that he had asked his friends in Kyoto and found out that the people who took Qiao Qiao away were a very wealthy family in Kyoto.

If he really wants to see his daughter again in the future, he should work hard to earn money. Only by earning enough money can he stand on the same level as the person who took his daughter away.

Qiao Changdong actually knew that his brother-in-law Meng Zhengcheng didn't have such great ability to find out about things in the elite circles of Kyoto.

But he still took those words to heart.
