Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1304 - 857: Divergent Opinions (Part 2)
"What you mean is that no matter how heartless the children act, parents must forgive unconditionally, right?" Chuxia silently looked at her, "How can you say something so selfish with such confidence?"
Grandpa Wan never asked you to abandon everything and be filial to him. All he wanted was the most basic emotional connection. During tough times, you could ignore him, but what about those past moments?
When he could finally return home, he longed for you to visit him, to give him a bit of familial warmth. But how did you all act? You ignored him completely, as if he were a stranger.
When you found out he was helped by old friends and finally became useful, you appeared, straightforwardly making demands without considering whether it was appropriate or not.
Grandpa Wan said many times that if your requests did not harm others, he would do his best to help, even if it meant risking his life.
But in reality? You wanted him to betray those principles. How could such a kind and upright old man possibly accept such unreasonable requests? If it weren’t for sheer desperation, who would willingly sever ties with their family?
Actually, I’ve kept these thoughts inside for a long time. Every time during festivals when Grandpa Wan was with us, he seemed happy, but once alone, he was always so lonely.
If he genuinely didn’t care about you, would he have different expressions in public and private? Honestly, my parents and I are genuinely devoted to Grandpa Wan like he’s our real grandfather. Why does he still feel so disheartened?
He says he’s deeply hurt by you, has lost hope, and has accepted that he’s fated to have no connection with his children in this life. But inside? Do you really think he doesn’t yearn for you to return to him?"
"If it’s as you say, then why did he resolutely reject my mom’s requests?" Qian Yan frowned tightly, "My mom’s earlier demands were a bit unreasonable, but this recent one was just hoping Grandpa could help safeguard my dad’s position and assured the Qian Family wouldn’t get involved again in chaotic alliances in the future.
But Grandpa rejected my mom’s request without even thinking. Do you know how heartbroken my mom was? This time she genuinely wanted to get along well with Grandpa, but unfortunately, Grandpa didn’t give her the chance.
Or maybe what you’ve heard is just what Grandpa wanted to say. What you’ve seen is merely your speculation. Do you really know Grandpa’s true thoughts?
Also, you must admit, living with Grandpa, you surely wanted to bask in his glory. Otherwise, why would Grandpa be chosen among so many lonely old men and women?"
"Yes, there are many lonely old men and women, and if I ever have the capacity, I will surely do my utmost to help them. But, that kind of help and living with Grandpa Wan are two completely different concepts.
Everything has its cause and effect. I’ve said before, my connection to Grandpa Wan started when he was sent to our village. Later, we happened to meet again by chance, and that fortuitous bond led me to recognize Grandpa Wan as a god-grandfather, gradually getting closer until truly living together.
You say I wanted to bask in Grandpa Wan’s glory, heaven and earth as witnesses, from the beginning I never had this thought. It just happened to be that someone targeted me, and Grandpa Wan helped resolve it all.
This brings us back to the issue I mentioned before. Grandpa Wan helped me because I was the victim, the innocent one. If it had been you and your mother facing such events, Grandpa Wan would probably have gone all out to seek justice for you."
"After all this, you still have to admit one thing, you all being with Grandpa, indeed basked in his glory."
"Of course, I admit it..." Chuxia looked at her earnestly, "I am also very grateful for Grandpa Wan’s timely appearance, which helped and saved me."
"Then you still won’t admit you took Grandpa from me?"
Alright, the issue returned again, Chuxia looked at Qian Yan frustrated, not knowing what to say. She most feared dealing with those who are unreasonable, playing solely according to their own ideas.
In her concept, others must treat her well unconditionally, she can betray, yet others must forgive, if something even slightly disappoints her, that means they failed her.
Chuxia curiously glanced at Old Madam Qi; how could someone with Qian Yan’s personality be loved so deeply as a granddaughter by the old lady?
After listening for a while, Old Madam Qi also sorted things out clearly. Speaking objectively, what she heard before were just sayings from the Qian Family mother and daughter, inevitably causing some misunderstanding regarding Old Master Wan.
But, after the debate between the two girls, she managed to understand the truth of things. Fundamentally, it was certainly the fault of the Qian Family mother and daughter, though, for her, the true emotional bond existed with the Qian Family mother and daughter. Regardless of how they treated Old Master Wan, their interactions with her over these years were still good.
Moreover, in the entire compound, only the Qian Family mother and daughter were willing to interact with their sibling pair, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so close to Qian Ying.
Thus, now she felt a bit troubled about how to resolve this matter, to completely sever ties with Qian Yan was something she couldn’t accept. From her heart, she truly treated Qian Yan like a granddaughter.
The older people grow, the more they cherish their children and grandchildren. Like her and her brother, having remained unmarried and childless, inevitably confide their feelings in Qian Ying who grew close to them from a young age.
Honestly, she knew before that at times this child could be a bit unreasonable, but always thought she’d grow up, understand more, and not behave the same way.
Relatively speaking, having had fewer dealings with Wan Yuqiong, perhaps she wouldn’t have thought this way either, and now after hearing about Wan Yuqiong’s actions, she felt deep concerns for Qian Ying’s future...
