Chapter 326: Let Us ConfrontAs long as her father had not brought Qiao Nan home, her mother and she had to continue to hide their tails.
Qiao Zijin was not afraid of anything else. She was only afraid that, given Ding Jiayi’s character, she might do something shameful and create trouble for Qiao Nan. In the end, Qiao Nan might not even be embarrassed, but her father would leave for the sake of Qiao Nan nevertheless.
“Why would I?” Ding Jiayi replied, sounding a little guilty. “I think tomorrow is a good day. I’ve thought about it. I’ll take the blanket and mattress pad from Qiao Nan’s room to wash and dry in the sun. At the same time, we can clean away the dust in the room. That wretched girl is so scheming. I’ve not provoked her, but she’s been talking bad about me in front of your dad. If I do anything in particular, she’ll most likely smear my name in front of your dad. I… I’ll not give her the chance!”
Qiao Zijin smiled satisfactorily, but then she knitted her brows. “Mom, it’s good that you can think in this way. However, Mom, don’t tell me what you said earlier are the opposite of your thoughts?”
“It’s almost twelve. I’m so tired after a long day. Zijin, quickly go to sleep. I’m going to sleep too.” Ding Jiayi nearly could not respond to the question.
Ding Jiayi had already thought about what she had just said before but did not wish to do it at all.
She was unhappy that Qiao Nan kept asking Old Qiao to move house. If the latter wanted a dry and warm blanket, she could prepare it herself. When she harmed her, did she think of her as her biological mother? When she needed her, Qiao Nan treated her like a servant. How could she be willing to serve Qiao Nan? Wishful thinking!
Ding Jiayi only had such small thoughts and a little brain. She could not create anything spectacular.
“This is really…” At the sight of Ding Jiayi’s evasive attitude, Qiao Zijin was speechless. After all, her mother was really speaking words that were contrary to her thoughts. She wanted to ignore Qiao Nan and let Qiao Nan tidy up her own room when she was back.
Fortunately, Qiao Zijin poked her nose and asked her mother the question. Otherwise, her mother would have made a mistake again and gave Qiao Nan an excuse to make trouble.
“Old Qiao, you’re back with Qiao Nan. Quickly come into the house. I’ll pour the two of you some tea. I’ve just boiled the water.” On Lunar New Year’s Eve, Qiao Dongliang brought Qiao Nan to the house and arrived at one o’clock in the afternoon. At the sight of Qiao Dongliang, Ding Jiayi was overjoyed and greeted him warmly.
Qiao Nan, who was initially walking beside Qiao Dongliang, was pushed to the side with this action of Ding Jiayi.
Qiao Nan, who was caught off-guard by this action, nearly fell down.
“Nan Nan, are you alright?” Qiao Zijin saw this and quickly reached out to hold Qiao Nan. She then lowered her voice, held on to Qiao Nan, and slowed down the latter by a few steps to prevent Qiao Dongliang from seeing what happened. “Nan Nan, I have something to ask you. Can we chat?”
“I don’t wish to chat with you.” Qiao Zijin shook her hands away. Her parents were far and her father would not be able to see what happened earlier. So, there was no need for Qiao Zijin to do that.
“Nan Nan, listen to me. I’d like to ask you about something serious.” Qiao Zijin felt helpless. “Nan Nan, you’re now like a hedgehog. I’m your biological sister. We’re one family. The usual minor arguments and fuss, bickering and fights, which family does not have them? However, can I harm you? Why do you have to guard against me like I’m a thief? I didn’t do anything that let you down, did I?”
