Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1231-1240

Chapter 1231 Too Many Instances of Crying Wolf
The father and daughter had not managed to have a proper conversation and Nan Nan had to return to the capital. They might only be able to meet one year later.Nan Nan was unlike Zijin. She was a kind and softhearted girl.
He no longer cared and was unable to do anything about the kind of person that Zijin was or how she would turn out to be in the future.

He was the least bit worried about his life after retirement. He knew that Nan Nan would take care of him.

Once he was certain that he would be taken care of in his old age and did not need to worry about anything else, he would wash his hands off Ding Jiayi. He would not care if she did herself in. He would not be concerned about the Qiao Zijin’s cold-hearted nature either.

He would wash his hands off both of them. He had become a grandfather. It was considered good enough that he could lead a simple and smooth life.

Qiao Zijin made use of her mother and harbored ill intentions toward her. She had no idea that her father who was the bystander could tell what was on her mind. Her father who came around and decided to stand on her side once again had made up his mind to give up on her this time.

Qiao Zijin also did not know that Qiao Dongliang gave a call to Qiao Nan that afternoon. He knew that Qiao Nan must have reached the Zhai family’s residence at the capital. “Nan Nan, there is something that I have to tell you. But given how smart you are, you must already have this in mind. In the future, if anyone from the Qiao family looks for you, regardless of the reasons that she gives you, you can ignore her and refuse her requests.”

Qiao Dongliang’s purpose in making the phone call was not to tell Qiao Nan what she should do if she received a call from Qiao Zijin and how she should react to her requests. Instead, he was telling her indirectly about his change in attitude toward Qiao Zijin.

Previously, Qiao Dongliang wanted to look after Qiao Zijin and hoped that she would find her happiness. He wanted to help his daughter based on his own efforts.

Now, he had decided to wash his hands off her, and he would not allow Qiao Zijin to take advantage of Qiao Nan.

Since Qiao Zijin dared to make use of her mother and harbored ill intentions toward her, Qiao Dongliang wondered if there would be a day where she used it on him.

It was better to spell things out so that they would not have any misunderstanding or cause any irreversible harm. This was also better for both parties.

Qiao Nan, who was holding San Bao in her arms, was quite surprised at Qiao Dongliang’s words.

However, Qiao Nan did not feel or display any signs of happiness.

There had been too many instances where Qiao Dongliang cried wolf. Even though he sounded very determined today, Qiao Nan would not really believe his words or get emotional over his decision.

She had no idea when her father would change his mind again. He might feel that Qiao Zijin was a good daughter and that he had to help her. “Alright, Dad. I understand. Don’t worry. I know what I should do.”

Qiao Nan sounded very calm on the phone. It was as if they were discussing whether it would rain tomorrow. “Dad, I am holding San Bao in my arms. San Bao still couldn’t greet us. But she will make sounds. Listen to her…” Qiao Nan made use of San Bao to change the topic. She no longer wanted to talk about Qiao Zijin who would spoil her mood.

“Ah… Woo…” The little girl looked with curiosity as her mama spoke to the phone. She thought that her mama was talking to her. San Bao, who was cheeky, smiled a sunny smile, and her eyes turned into crescents. She opened and closed her mouth, as if answering her mama.
