Chapter 58: Elder Lee Came To Visit

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the past, Qiao Nan was very submissive, and would do whatever ch.o.r.es that Ding Jiayi asked her to do. Even so, Ding Jiayi still disliked her. Now that Qiao Nan had learned to rebut her words, Ding Jiayi disliked her even more.

Qiao Dongliang saw how the younger daughter reb.u.t.ted her mother. Ding Jiayi was flushed red and at a loss for words. Qiao Dongliang frowned and said, “Nan Nan.”

As the saying goes, “Parents always have their good reasons”, no matter what, Old Ding was Nan Nan’s mother, Nan Nan should not speak to her in that way.

To others, the younger daughter’s words might not mean anything. But Qiao Dongliang could tell that she was digging at her mother.

Qiao Nan curled her lips and mocked herself. She knew things would turn out like this.

But it was okay. Like she said, she would pamper herself. Though her father did not favor her, she would not ask for more as long as he was not as biased as Mom and only doted on Qiao Zijin, depriving her of the chance to study.

“Dad, I will return my school bag to the room.”

Without much expression on her face, Qiao Nan returned to her room, never once glancing at her parents. Qiao Dongliang felt uneasy at her att.i.tude.

Waiting for Qiao Nan to close door, Qiao Dongliang chided at Ding Jiayi, “Nan Nan is not someone who is disobedient and insensible. You knew that she is a good child yet you have to pick on her? Look at her att.i.tude now, if you continue with your cold remarks, she may not treat you as her mother in future.”

Qiao Dongliang could feel that Qiao Nan had turned cold and aloof towards Ding Jiayi.

In the past, Qiao Nan would never disobey Ding Jiayi’s orders. At times, whenever she was free, she would take the initiative to do the household ch.o.r.es. Back then, Ding Jiayi did not have to work and was still a full time housewife.

Even if Qiao Nan was not very affectionate and did not always call her Mom, from the way Qiao Nan looked at Ding Jiayi, Qiao Dongliang could sense the longing affection that Qiao Nan had for her mother.

But he could no longer see the longing affection in her eyes now.

The younger daughter’s expression had turned cold and detached. Qiao Dongliang could not help but be worried.

“I gave birth to her. Regardless of whether she treated me as her mother or not, I am still her mother. Even when she is a adult, she still has to obey me.” Ding Jiayi had nothing to fear.

She did not wish to listen to Qiao Dongliang’s lectures anymore. She went off to prepare dinner.

Ding Jiayi walked into the kitchen. It did not occur to her that she was also brought up by her mother.

But when her mother wanted to sell her off, she also did not obey her and married Qiao Dongliang instead.

“Nan Nan?” Since his wife refused to listen, Qiao Dongliang went to look for his daughter, hoping to talk some sense into her.

“Dad.” Qiao Nan was writing. “Dad, I am doing my homework. Is anything the matter?”

Qiao Dongliang was embarra.s.sed when he saw that Qiao Nan was really doing her homework. “Nothing, carry on with your homework. There’s nothing more important than your studies. You carry on with your work, I won’t disturb you.”

With that, Qiao Dongliang closed the door and left without saying anything.

After he left, Qiao Nan sighed in exasperation.

As expected, her father liked to see that his daughters were studying. She knew the reason why her father came looking for her, but she did not want to listen.
