Chapter 1243: You Have the Right to Choose
Qiao Chen knew that Mo Yesi wouldn’t lie to him about this.
He recalled the man he saw that night.
He felt that there was something wrong with the way that man looked at him.
That man looked a lot like him. Even Qiao Chen was shocked when he saw him.
So, they were father and son.
That was why they looked so alike.
“I’m going to the washroom.” Mo Yesi could tell that the siblings had something to say. Qiao Chen might find it inconvenient if he was present.
He found an excuse and left.
Only Qiao Mianmian and Qiao Chen were left in the room.
Qiao Mianmian looked at Qiao Chen and felt a heartache. “Chen Chen, I know you might not be able to accept this for a while. But regardless of whether you’re from the Qiao family or whose blood runs in your veins, in my heart, you’ll always be my most beloved brother.
“Our relationship won’t change because of this.
“Unless you don’t want me as your sister anymore.”
“How could that be?” Qiao Chen immediately said agitatedly. “Sister, you’re my sister for life. I don’t care about the Qiao family or the Mo family, you’re my closest kin.
“Sister, I just feel that it’s too sudden.” Qiao Chen was like a lost child at a crossroad. He looked confused and uneasy. “How did I become the Mo family’s child? My surname is Qiao. I grew up in the Qiao family. Dad also said that I’m his biological son.
“But now…” Qiao Chen clenched his fists. “Sister, is this true? Why do I feel like I’m dreaming?”
“Chen Chen, I know how you feel now.” Qiao Mianmian got up and slowly sat down beside him. She held his trembling hand and shook it forcefully. “I know you can’t accept this reality for a while. Your brother-in-law and I are only telling you the truth now. Whether you want to return to the Mo family, whether you want to acknowledge your biological father, we won’t interfere with your decision. Think about this carefully. No matter what decision you make, Sister will support you.”
“Sister.” Qiao Chen’s eyes were red, and his voice was choked. Fear and uneasiness could be seen in his eyes.
He grabbed Qiao Mianmian’s hand tightly. “No matter what happens in the future, we’ll always be siblings, right? Our relationship won’t change because of anything else, right?”
“Of course, no matter what happens, Chen Chen is my favorite brother.” Qiao Mianmian saw the uneasiness in the young man and comforted him gently. “Chen Chen, don’t feel burdened. Your brother-in-law and I think you should know the truth, but no one will force you to make a choice.
“You have the right to choose.”
The teenager’s clear and dark eyes flickered, filled with confusion and helplessness.
He looked at Qiao Mianmian. “I can choose whatever I want?”
“Mm, you can choose whatever you want.”
“No one will force me?”
“No.”
“Sister, I want to think about it.” Qiao Chen kept quiet for a long time. The confusion in his eyes faded, and he seemed to accept the truth.
He looked at Qiao Mianmian and said softly, “I’ll consider it.”

On the other side.
Qiao Anxin looked at Madam Bai nervously.
