Xu Meng's father never expected that Qin Chengyan would ask him for custody of the two children. He was stunned and looked at Qin Chengyan in a daze, unable to say a word.
Qin Chengyan sighed and said, "I know it's hard for Mr. Xu to answer me in a short time. You just lost your daughter, so how can you bear to give the custody of your grandchildren to someone else? I'm not in a hurry. Mr. Xu can go back and think about it slowly, or you can discuss it with your relatives and friends. You can give me the result after discussing it. I can only promise Mr. Xu that the two children will receive the best living conditions and education with me. This is an important factor for Mr. Xu to consider. "
Xu Meng's father nodded, but he was still in a daze, as if he still hadn't reacted.
After sending Xu Meng's father off to rest, Lin Ning frowned and looked at Qin Chengyan with a troubled look.
Qin Chengyan sighed softly and pulled her to sit on his lap. "What's wrong? You look like you have something on your mind. You still have a child in your stomach. Don't be like this. It's not good for you or the child. "
"Did you do it on purpose just now?" Lin Ning asked.
Qin Chengyan frowned.
Lin Ning said seriously, "Don't deny it. I could feel it. I wanted to apologize to Uncle Xu and explain to him about Xu Meng's death. But you deliberately interrupted me and didn't let me continue. Did you do it on purpose? "
"Then what are you going to tell him?" Qin Chengyan asked.
Lin Ning broke free from him and stood up straight. "I told him the truth at that time. I told him the truth about Xu Meng's death. I apologized to him and asked for his forgiveness. Xu Meng's family is innocent. If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have suffered this kind of misfortune. Don't her parents even have the right to know the truth? I didn't know about it in the hospital these days, and I just found out about the news about Xu Meng's family's death. The whole incident did not mention me at all, and even the identity of the murderer was very secretive. He only said that he killed for money and didn't hide anything. This is the same as completely excluding me. "
"Then how do you want the newspapers to report it? She said that Lin Shan killed Xu Meng's entire family to take revenge on you. Are you going to tell Xu Meng's parents and Xu Meng's two children this? "
"Can't I tell you?"
"Of course not," Qin Chengyan said righteously, "Ning Ning, I know you're a kind person. Xu Meng's family died because of you. You must feel guilty and sad. You wanted to atone for your sins, so you wanted to raise her two children. He wanted to tell Xu Meng's parents the truth and atone for his sins. But have you ever thought about what would happen if they knew the truth? We are also parents. If Lin Qin was the one who had an accident today, no matter what reason he had, no matter how many difficulties he had, I would never forgive him. "
"Even if they don't forgive me, it's what they should do," Lin Ning said while crying.
"Yes, it's also what they should do. But what about Xu Meng's two children? Do you still want to raise them? If they hold a grudge against you, how can you raise them? If you treat this as an accident, it will only make them sad for a while. But if they know the truth, then you will be their enemy. Do you want them to spend the rest of their lives in hatred? Have you considered the future of the two children? Have you considered Lin Qin's feelings? Ning Ning, sometimes the evil truth is harder to accept than a white lie. Not all truths are good. "
"Do you want me to hide it from them for the rest of my life? Do you want me to carry the guilt for the rest of my life?" Lin Ning couldn't help holding her face and crying after hearing Qin Chengyan's words. She knew that Qin Chengyan was right.
She didn't think it through. Such a truth would be even more difficult for Xu Meng's parents and children to accept!
But thinking about how she killed Xu Meng's family and hid the truth from her parents and children, she felt that she was too shameless, too sinful, and simply unforgivable. She felt that she was too shameless, too sinful, and simply unforgivable.
Qin Chengyan hugged her tightly in his arms and rested his chin on her shoulder. "I know you're sad, I know you can't bear to do it, and I know how guilty you are. But don't worry, a hundred years later on the road to hell, if Xu Meng blames you, I'll bear everything. It's all my fault. Even if the children find out the truth one day, I'll be the one who's guilty. You just don't know anything and have been deceived by me. I'll bear all the sins. If there's a divine punishment, it'll be me being struck by lightning. It has nothing to do with you. "
"Don't say it, Cheng Yan, don't say it," Lin Ning cried.
Qin Chengyan hugged her tightly, closed his eyes, and kissed her cheek.
*****
After Xu Meng's father was sent back to his room to rest, he began to think about Qin Chengyan's words.
He couldn't make up his mind alone, but his wife wasn't by his side.
He only had one daughter, Xu Meng. Now his daughter was gone, his son-in-law was gone, and even his two in-laws were gone. He didn't even have someone to discuss it with, so he didn't know what to do.
In fact, Qin Chengyan's words really moved him. He had to admit that Qin Chengyan was eloquent. Everything he said hit the bottom of his heart. He had the heart to raise his daughter's two children even if he had to risk his life.
But at his age, sometimes it was useless to have the heart. Maybe he would collapse at any time, and then the two children would be so pitiful.
Even if he lingered on with his life to accompany the two children to grow up, the quality of companionship couldn't be compared with that of young people.
After thinking about it again and again, Xu Meng's father had to call his relatives to discuss it. He also asked his sister to tell his wife and ask for her opinion.
The whole family held a conference call. After considering many aspects, they finally made a decision.
They felt that the custody couldn't be transferred to Qin Chengyan. If anything happened, they really wouldn't even have the right to speak.
But they could let the two children recognize Qin Chengyan and Lin Ning as godparents and let them help raise them.
In this way, they could raise the two children well, and they could preserve the bloodline of the Lin family.
Although there was no one left in the Lin family, they couldn't let their son-in-law down. After they died, even a little bloodline had to be given to others.
After thinking about it, Xu Meng's father went to see Qin Chengyan the next day and told him his decision.
Qin Chengyan didn't say anything else after hearing it. He just thanked Xu Meng's father again and again.
In fact, he didn't necessarily want the custody of the two children. He just thought that if they were included in the Qin family's genealogy, it would be beneficial to their lives in the future.
But if they didn't want to give it, he wouldn't force them.
Even if they couldn't be included in the Qin family's genealogy, they wouldn't take advantage of the Qin surname. In other ways, he would also compensate them.
"An 'an is still with the police. She can only be brought back by the immediate family's guardian. And Xiao Wu doesn't know about it yet, and I didn't dare to tell her. Next week, Xu Meng and the others will be buried in peace. We have to let Xiao Wu know about it. So, I hope that you can tell her about it. Maybe she can accept it more. "
