Chapter 181: A Life of Her Own“Dad, if I can, I am sure you can do it too. It is only a matter of whether you will be happier being together with Mom or by yourself. Dad, Sis and I can’t always live on behalf of Mom and you, and the same goes for both Mom and you. We have grown up. Just like birds, one day, we will fly out of this nest and have another home of our own. Life is short. In the premise of being responsible, you definitely have a choice to choose a way of life that you are more comfortable with.”
She was neither willing to restrict her parents nor was she willing to be restricted by them.
In this lifetime, she wanted to live for herself, and her father should also make the same choice.
“I will think about it. Let me think about it carefully.” The calmer and objective Qiao Nan was in her words, carrying no personal emotions, the more confused Qiao Dongliang felt. All of a sudden, he could not figure out clearly what he wanted to do.
“Dad, you can’t rush your decision in this matter. It is similar to getting married. You have to think about it properly.” Qiao Nan nodded.
When Qiao Dongliang talked about divorce, Qiao Nan would not express her enthusiasm and support. Now that Qiao Dongliang had wavered, Qiao Nan also would not express any disappointment.
After all, it was also because she had resolved the matter regarding her father’s surgery in the hospital that day too easily.
She was someone who had died once. Only such a person understood what utter despair was.
Her father harbored the idea of divorce because he was too furious with her mother’s recent behavior and doings.
The more Qiao Dongliang behaved in this way, the more Qiao Nan felt assured with the words she just said.
“Dad, rest more, I’m going back to my room.” Without bothering further about whether Qiao Dongliang wanted to divorce Ding Jiayi, Qiao Nan was now more concerned about the money she had on hand.
It was most probably because she was used to keeping all her important stuff in the Zhai’s residence. As there was a lot of money in her pocket, Qiao Nan felt extremely insecure. She felt that she must put the money away in the Zhai’s residence before she could feel at ease.
However, it was already so late. It would be difficult for her to explain if she went out at this hour.
It would be troublesome too if she continued bringing it wherever she went. She would also have to waste her breath explaining if she was discovered.
“Sure, go ahead.” Qiao Dongliang forced a smile. “During this vacation, it has been hard on you because of Dad. Now that Dad is back, you don’t need to be so busy anymore. Read more if you want to, but pay attention to having a balance between study and leisure. Many children of the workers in my factory already have myopia.”
“I will.” Qiao Nan returned to her own bedroom after acknowledging Qiao Dongliang’s concern for her.
When she left Qiao Dongliang’s room, Qiao Nan actually saw Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin cleaning up the house. Her eyes flashed with surprise. Her mother and Qiao Zijin were usually not such down-to-earth chaps. Could it be that her father’s decision to sleep alone in a separate room had scared her mother to the point that she had to restrain herself for two days?
She had no choice, being Ding Jiayi’s daughter for two lifetimes. Qiao Nan kept feeling that today’s Ding Jiayi was a little odd.
Even if Ding Jiayi was scared because of Qiao Dongliang, Ding Jiayi would pretend to be obedient and honest in front of Qiao Dongliang at most. She would then vent all her frustration on Qiao Nan.
