Chapter 396: One Man’s Meat Was Another’s Poison

“They’re the extremely stubborn type that is impervious to advice. Before Wang Yang makes her suffer, it will be a waste of my breath to persuade her. When she suffers a setback due to Wang Yang, I may not even be able to make her understand. A person will not learn how to walk properly without first having a fall. Your sister was too sheltered by your mom and me. It’s time to let her learn a lesson. It may not be a good thing if one’s life is too smooth-sailing.”

When Qiao Dongliang brought up Qiao Zijin’s matter again, his tone was much calmer than before. He also seemed calmer. “Nan Nan, you’re right. You’re just your sister’s sibling. You don’t owe her anything. There’s no need to make your life suffer because of her. However, I’m different. I’m her father. Even if the whole world deserts her, ignores her, I can’t do that. Your sister’s current thinking is too ambitious and wild, and I can’t control that. As her father, what I can do is… One day, when your sister fails and everyone leaves her, I will then help her as much as I can.”

“Dad, as long as you’re happy.” Qiao Nan pursed her lips. She did not wish to argue with Qiao Dongliang.

She had never suspected the good intention of her father. However, she did not have confidence in Qiao Zijin.

An eternal life of staying by one’s side was easier said than done. Her father’s heart and mind might not be as determined as he thought himself to be.

“Dad, Uncle Yang’s son is getting married and they’ll definitely hold a banquet. Should you help them out then?” Qiao Nan did not voice out her thoughts. It was enough that she knew it herself. “When we moved house last time, Uncle Yang helped us quite a lot.”

“It goes without saying. Today, your Uncle Yang asked for my help. There’s no reason for me to decline. It’s just that, coincidentally, you won’t be around on the day of the marriage. Otherwise, I can bring you along to the banquet.” Qiao Dongliang’s face was full of regrets.

Qiao Nan was amused. “It doesn’t matter. You could wish the couple a long lasting and blissful marriage on my behalf. Dad, I heard that there are many things to prepare for marriage. This time, it’ll be tough on you. Since they’re getting married, have they decided on the banquet menu, where to buy, and how much to buy? Have all of these been settled?”

“Nan Nan, you know quite a lot,” Qiao Dongliang said in astonishment. “There are so many complicated things. I’m not too sure too. Last time, your mom and I had a very simple banquet. We only had two tables of guests. There wasn’t so much trouble. If Old Yang didn’t mention it to me today, I wouldn’t know that there’s so much involved in preparing a banquet. Nan Nan, how did you know so much? It was as if you have done it before.”

As a father, he did not know more than his daughter. Qiao Dongliang felt that he truly needed to reflect on himself.

Logically, Nan Nan studied at school every day. She would revise her studies and do her homework when she was home. She would not come into contact with more people than him. He only just got to know what Nan Nan already knew. Had he been out of touch with the society?

There was a flash of guilt in Qiao Nan’s eyes. Her laughter also sounded weak. “Dad, did you forget that my results are so good? I’ve read so many books and there are all kinds of contents in them. There’re even mathematics questions for matters such as wedding banquets.”

How could she not know?

When Qiao Zijin was getting married, she was the one who prepared everything. Her mother only sat on the stool, opened her mouth, and pointed her fingers left and right. Her father tried to help. However, just like now, her father was of no help at all as he had no experience with it.
