Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s-Chapter 1325: Becoming More and More Selfish

"How am I failing as an elder?" Li Junping glared at Qin Ru Hai, speaking with a heart full of fury, "If it wasn’t for them, Qin Fen would never have ended up in prison. Three whole months he’s been sitting there, I just visited him last month, and the person I saw had lost three circles of weight."

After finishing, she turned to Qin Jian, "How can your heart be so cruel? No matter what, he’s still your brother, even though you don’t share the same mother, I’ve raised you for thirty years! For all these years, you’ve been eating from the same bowl!"

"You can’t blame Qin Jian for this. You can’t blame An Hao either," Qin Ru Hai huffed, "Think about it yourself, what did your son do? Not only did he leak the An Family’s client information, but he also beat An Ping so badly with a stick that he was seriously injured. It was pure luck that An Ping’s life was spared, nothing serious happened. If... if An Ping hadn’t survived, how would you explain it to others?"

"I..." Li Junping was left speechless and, in her anger, turned to leave, "Fine, I can’t win against you all! I’m wrong and you are right. Am I allowed to go now?"

"Mom!" Qin Jian’s forehead creased with concern, and just as he was about to explain a couple of things, Qin Ru Hai gestured with his hand.

"Don’t bother with her! Let her go, she’s becoming more and more unreasonable." Qin Ru Hai sighed, inviting Qin Jian and An Hao into the house, "Come in and have a seat."

An Hao had been silent, watching the entire exchange from beginning to end.

They say you’d rather quarrel with someone who understands you than argue with someone who is clueless.

Li Junping’s mind was muddled, she simply couldn’t grasp Qin Jian’s good intentions.

This time, Qin Fen had caused a significant disaster, and Qin Jian’s refusal to help him was to teach him a lesson.

If he was conditionally forgiven time and again, it would only lead to more significant trouble in the future.

Once inside, Qin Ru Hai poured tea for both of them, and as he sat down, he started with a sigh.

"Don’t take your mother’s remarks to heart. She has become increasingly selfish over the past two years. She only considers her own feelings, completely ignoring your difficulties."

Although Qin Jian was their adopted son, he was also the An Family’s son-in-law.

Having caused such a great deal of trouble for the An Family, if Qin Jian had sided with Qin Fen without making amends, how could the An Family feel at ease?

"Dad, that’s all in the past, let’s not talk about it anymore." There was no point in further discussion, and Qin Jian had come today for this very reason.

"We have something we’d like to discuss with you," An Hao picked up where Qin Jian left off, continuing the conversation.

"What is it? Just tell me," said Qin Ru Hai.

"You have seen what happened to my family. Now everything is gone, these past few years have been for nothing," An Hao spoke calmly.

"I know! I know! If there’s anything you need my help with, as long as it’s within my power, I will help!"

"Thank you, Uncle Qin. But right now, I desperately need money..."

An Hao had not finished speaking when Qin Ru Hai stood up, opened a cabinet, and fetched the only remaining bankbook, "It’s not much, but it’s a token of my sincerity."

An Hao quickly gestured her refusal, "That’s not what I mean, let me be frank with you, I want to sell the bracelet."

Qin Ru Hai was taken aback, "Is that bracelet really that valuable?"

"It’s very valuable," An Hao told him without exaggeration, "I’ve had it appraised, and it is indeed very valuable. But since this bracelet has been passed down through the Qin Family, I specifically came to discuss it with you."
