“Nan Nan’s results used to be better than Zijin, it would be good if she could go to The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, she would be able to catch up on her studies.”

Qiao Dongliang laughed coldly.

“No, she had already said that if her results are not satisfactory she wouldn’t go to that high school. We do not have so much money at home!” Ding Jiayi turned green with anger. She did not wish to see that Qiao Nan and Qiao Zijin had the same treatment.

“I have said before, you will take care of Zijin while I am in charge of Nan Nan. I wouldn’t take the money from our house. If she really did badly, I will think of other ways.” Qiao Dongliang looked at Ding Jiayi with a forced smile on his face. “If I do not have the abilities, there would be someone who has the abilities.”

“Mom, I am hungry, shall we make dinner?” Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi were about to break into a fight and the topic made Qiao Zijin uncomfortable. She cut in and tried to stop them.

Her mother had spent all the money at home. If her father wanted to send Qiao Nan to The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, he would have to seek Grandpa Lee’s help to fork out a sum of money.

Her father would definitely have to borrow that money.

Anything borrowed had to be returned.

If their family had external debts and had not enough to feed all of them, given her character, her mother would definitely tighten the purse strings and cut down on her allowances so as to save the money to repay the debts.

All said, the money that was supposed to be spent on her would then be used for Qiao Nan’s enrollment.

Most importantly, when Qiao Dongliang mentioned that he might look for external help, Qiao Zijin was worried that he might seek Elder Lee’s help. He might spill the truth about the secret to her enrollment.

Her mother had gathered that the Qiao family and Lee family had not been in contact with each other for ages.

Since they had not been keeping in touch, Grandpa Lee would help them on the account that it was the last request that the Qiao family had of him.

By then, she would have settled the enrollment problem and her father would not find out the truth. This would be kept a secret forever.

But now that Qiao family and Lee family were in contact with each other, if Grandpa Lee was to tell her father about the truth, Qiao Zijin could not imagine the thunderstorms that would be stirred up in her family.

After pulling Ding Jiayi to the kitchen, Qiao Zijin said, “Mom, stop picking on Nan Nan in front of Dad. We are the ones who would suffer in the end.” In particular her!

“As long as Qiao Nan has agreed to it, it doesn’t matter how Dad thinks about it. But if you continue with your ways and agitate Dad, he might borrow money from Grandpa Lee to get Qiao Nan into The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. By then, not only would we have a lot of external debts, Grandpa Lee might mention my enrollment to Dad. What do you think his reaction will be?”

Even if there was no way for Qiao Nan to quit school and work, her mother should try to cut down on Qiao Nan’s expenses, lest her father spent too much of his hard-earned money on her.

Her mother had always been quarreling with her father. Because of all these quarrels, her father had given the money that was meant for her to Qiao Nan instead!

“If he could seek Uncle Lee’s help for Qiao Nan, he would not dare to raise his voice at me if he finds out that I have been to Grandpa Lee regarding your enrollment. Aren’t they the same?” Ding Jiayi refused to admit defeat, but her tone calmed down. “Forget it, I will not pick on that wretched girl on your account. It would be a waste of my time and energy to pick on her.”

“Mom, it’s good that you can straighten out your thoughts.” Qiao Zijin was relieved that Ding Jiayi was willing to listen to her.
