no crossing the line

Jian Qin hurriedly finished the rest of her breakfast, and after confirming that Wang Juan had woken up with a text message, she couldn't wait to call her.

"Xiaoqin, how are you? Is your cold better?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Jian Qin heard Wang Juan's amiable voice.

"I'm much better, thank you auntie for your concern. That..."

"That's good, that's good. Alas, the weather has been repeated recently. You should take good care of your body."

"I will, that Aunt Wang..."

"By the way, how are you getting along with Jing Lian? Did she take good care of you? She must have been negligent this time? I'll talk about her later."

"Ah, no, Erica took good care of me, I was too careless." Jian Qin wanted to mention it several times but was interrupted by Wang Juan, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "Aunt Wang, I added too much to Erica." How troublesome, I want to ask you..."

"Did Jing Lian ask you to call her Erica? Why is this child so out of touch? It's better to be called sister or Jing Lian."

Jian Qin nodded, and was interrupted several times by Wang Juan, who was gentle but timely, and her courage was about to be lost.

"Auntie, please listen to me, I can't bother Erica anymore... Well, I hope to move out as soon as possible, if you can't find a suitable house, I can find it myself... I don't choose!"

She finally expressed her wishes in one go, but the other end of the phone fell silent.

Jian Qin's heart was beating a little fast, and she felt that the short few seconds were so long, her throat itched untimely, which made her cough a few times.

"Oh, Xiaoqin, I didn't want to talk to you about this," Wang Juan sighed slightly, her voice sounded a little heavy, "but now it seems that it is necessary for you to understand the stakes."

Jian Qin felt her heart was lifted: "What are your interests?"

"Do you know why I must let Jing Lian take care of you?"

"Because you trust Erica so much..."

"This is only one aspect, and there is another, more important aspect..." Wang Juan paused, "Xiaoqin, Auntie only has two children, Jing Lian and Jing Xi. Now that Jing Xi is gone, I don't know my health When it can be healthy and healthy, this child will most likely be taken care of by Jing Lian, an aunt... Do you understand?"

Jian Qin only felt his brain buzzing, and his tongue seemed to be knotted.

"You, what are you... what do you mean?"

Only at this moment did she realize how ill-considered she was. After the child was born, she would hand it over to the Ji family, but what about after that?

She believed that the Ji family's family background would not make the child suffer, but she really hadn't thought about who would take care of the child.Or rather, she hasn't thought about anything other than giving birth to a child.

"Aunt Wang, you are still so young... In terms of life, you should, should be able to hire someone to take care of you..."

Wang Juan's promise hit all her weaknesses that day, and she was finally persuaded to accept the arrangement.But from the beginning to the end, she started from her own point of view and never considered for the child.No, it can't be said that she didn't think about the child. In her superficial knowledge, she also vaguely had the idea that the child would be well taken care of at Ji's house.

After all, Wang Juan looks very kind, and the Ji family is so rich.

However, she never thought about a healthy family or the care of her parents. She didn't realize until now that she had never considered the future of her child from an emotional point of view.

Since the unexpected accident, Jian Qin has realized her selfishness again and again.

"The point is not here...Xiaoqin, I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts. The child lost his father before he was born, so I hope he can at least have a mother's love. I understand my daughter's temperament best. She is not hard-hearted She is a human being, but she will not flood her sympathy at will. I hope that through this period of getting along, she will deepen her feelings for you, which is good for both the child and you. There is no guarantee that you will never want to see her in the future child?"

It is impossible for a person who has not thought about anything to be a person who has thought about it. Jian Qin was already in a daze when Wang Juan said that the child would be taken care of by Ji Jinglian in the future.

Jian Qin couldn't imagine a future in which she would take care of her children alone, so she was easily persuaded when Wang Juan was willing to take over the responsibility.After all, Wang Juan is the child's grandmother. Isn't it normal for the child to live with the grandmother?

But if Ji Jinglian took care of the child, the nature would be completely different.

On the one hand, Ji Jinglian did not look forward to the arrival of this child at least at the beginning, she kept saying that she did not want to trouble Ji Jinglian, but the fact was that she and the child were destined to trouble each other.

On the other hand, this probably means that she will completely lose her identity as a mother—she cannot afford the responsibility of being a mother now, but to be honest, she has not made up her mind to completely abandon her child, she just walks while giving herself a way out Just look at it step by step.

Afterwards, Wang Juan said a lot to her, but Jian Qin couldn't remember anything anymore. She only remembered the last words Wang Juan said to her when she hung up the phone.

"Xiaoqin, Auntie knows that it is not easy for you, and I am deeply grateful to you. I hope you believe that I made these arrangements for the good of you and the child."

After hanging up the phone, Jian Qin sat at the dining table blankly, feeling a little flustered for some reason.

"Cough cough cough..."

She covered her heart and coughed lightly, tears gradually oozing from the corners of her eyes.

"Drink some," Jian Qin put a bottle of medicine on the table in front of her when she was in a daze, "I asked the doctor, this has no side effects. Swallow it slowly with a tablespoon , your throat will feel better."

Ji Jinglian turned back to the dining room at some point, holding a document bag in the other hand.

"Ugh cough cough..."

Jian Qin raised his head to look at Ji Jinglian's face, wanted to say something but coughed harder, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes.

Ji Jinglian's slender fingers curled up slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, she gently stroked her back.

"Let's talk after coughing, no one will talk to you."

Different from her blunt and cold tone, the force of patting Jian Qin's back was very gentle.Jian Qin looked at Ji Jinglian with teary eyes, Wang Juan's words couldn't help appearing in his mind.

"Erica..."

Ji Jinglian really intends to take this responsibility for her dead brother. Although she has only known her for less than a month, and the impression is not even good, Jian Qin has already begun to believe in her.

"how?"

If Ji Jinglian is willing to take care of the child, he must be as considerate as taking care of her, right?

But, is that really good?
