After she had cleared all her doubts, Qiao Zijin was at ease now. She swung her barely wet hands and was about to leave.

Qiao Zijin turned around and saw Qiao Nan standing by the kitchen doorway with a cup in her hand. She was staring directly at her. Qiao Zijin shrieked in alarm, her heart in her throat. “Nan… Nan Nan, wh-why are you here?”

Had Nan Nan overheard the conversation that she had with Ding Jiayi? How much of the conversation did she overhear?

Ding Jiayi was also shocked at the sudden appearance of Qiao Nan, not to mention Qiao Zijin.

Ding Jiayi might be capable of ruthless and shameless acts, but she could not bring herself to say it or admit it in front of Qiao Nan, especially when she had been caught unawares by her.

“I want to pour myself a drink.” Qiao Nan waved at the cup in her hands and shot an aloof look at Qiao Zijin, “Can’t I?”

“Of course.” Qiao Zijin smiled awkwardly. This was not her concern at all. “Nan Nan, let me pour you a drink?”

Qiao Zijin just found out the truth from Ding Jiayi behind her father’s att.i.tude towards she and Qiao Nan. She had a guilty conscience when she saw Qiao Nan and felt sorry for her.

“No need, I am okay.” Qiao Nan was not the least bit happy at Qiao Zijin’s efforts to please her. In fact she had gooseb.u.mps all over her.

Her experience from the two lifetimes told her that whenever Qiao Zijin treated her with a slightly better att.i.tude, there must be something that she wanted from her.

She would rather be treated with arrogance and coldness, than to face Qiao Zijin’s smiling countenance.

After Qiao Nan poured herself a drink and left the kitchen, Qiao Zijin asked Ding Jiayi, “Mom, do you think Qiao Nan overheard our conversation or not?”

“I don’t think she has overheard our conversation. She would not have had this kind of reaction.” Ding Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief as well.

“Luckily she didn’t.” Qiao Zijin patted her chest, she had the shock of her life at seeing Qiao Nan.

Ding Jiayi might have nothing to fear regarding Qiao Nan, but it was not the same for Qiao Zijin. She was not ready to lose this younger sister totally.

“Alright, you should go and do your schoolwork. I will finish up the ch.o.r.es. Even if that wretched girl did overhear our conversation, it was nothing but the truth. Besides it was all your father’s doing. It has nothing to do with us. Good girl, go back to your room.” Ding Jiayi patted Qiao Zijin on the shoulder. She was no longer preoccupied with Qiao Nan’s att.i.tude.

Ding Jiayi had never been affected by Qiao Nan’s att.i.tude.

“Okay.” Qiao Zijin returned to her room in high spirits. Even if her results were not as good as Qiao Nan’s, she was the most important person in the house. There was no way that Qiao Nan could compete with her.

It turned out that her father was also biased towards her. Though compared to her mother, he might be slightly fairer.

At the thought of this, Qiao Zijin felt cool and refreshed, as if she had a gla.s.s of spring water in the hot summer.

While Qiao Zijin rolled around in happiness on her bed, Qiao Nan as usual was poring over her books, studying conscientiously.

The weekend flew past, Qiao Zijin went back to The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, while Qiao Nan stuck to her usual routine – going to school, the Zhai’s house and Qiao’s house.

This day, someone from the reception office informed Qiao Nan that someone had left her a parcel, notifying her to collect it.

Qiao Nan was confused. Someone sent her a parcel? Who would that be?

That was impossible.
