Chapter 82: Would Not Compromise

“How could that be?” Qiao Dongliang denied adamantly. He was not as muddleheaded as Old Ding. “But Nan Nan, you must understand, if there’s peace at home everything will prosper! You should know your Mom’s temper, you can’t possibly ask her to apologize to you?”

They were one family, they could not possibly stay at loggerheads with each other forever?

“Even if Mom is wrong, I would still need to obey, listen to her and please her?” Her father did not seem happy when she did that in her previous life.

“I am not asking you to obey your Mom… ” Qiao Dongliang had a terrible headache. If Nan Nan was to obey Old Ding in whatever she asked, the house might be even more chaotic.

“What does Dad want me to do? When Mom reprimanded me for being lazy and that I should have let sister copy my essay, I did not even say a word. Dad, am I not submissive enough? Which areas should I improve on? You can tell me and I will change.” Qiao Nan spoke in an exceptionally calm voice, in a composed manner that was beyond people her age.

The more Qiao Nan appeared to be calm and composed, the more Qiao Dongliang felt guilty.

Qiao Dongliang used to think that as children, they were obligated to obey their parents. Since Old Ding was muddleheaded, Qiao Nan would just have to suffer in silence.

It might sound irresponsible, but it was Nan Nan’s fault to have such a mother.

But when he looked into Qiao Nan’s dark eyes, her calm and still expression halted him in his tracks. It was as if his mouth had been glued. No words came out of his mouth.

If Qiao Nan threw tantrums and cried in anguish, Qiao Dongliang could chide her for being disobedient and insensible. But Qiao Nan stayed silent all the while, Qiao Dongliang didn’t know what to say.

He tried multiple times to persuade Qiao Nan, but he could not make any sound.

Given Ding Jiayi’s personality, there was no way that Qiao Dongliang could persuade Qiao Nan. He had reached a dead end.

If Qiao Nan was to give in to Ding Jiayi, there would not be any chance that she could continue with her studies. She would be responsible for writing essays for Qiao Zijin to copy.

But this was against Qiao Dongliang’s world views. In that case, how could he tell his daughter to obey his wife? And what exactly should she do to obey her?

Qiao Dongliang had no answers to his own questions, he was lost in thoughts.

After a while, an upset Qiao Dongliang said in disgruntlement, “All of you have such a bad temper.”

With that he returned to his room.

His wife would not listen to him, and his daughter had her own views, she would no longer listen to her parents.

He could no longer take his wife and daughter in hand.

Qiao Nan could hear the censure from Qiao Dongliang’s words, she twitched her lips in self mockery. No matter what, she would no longer give in to her mother and Qiao Zijin. That was impossible!

If her parents knew that she had done the essay incident on purpose, she wondered how her parents would react.

But Qiao Nan was not foolish. She would not admit it out of her own accord and invite trouble for herself.

She returned to her room right after Qiao Dongliang left.
