Ding Jiayi knocked on the door for a long time but she could not get Qiao Dongliang to open it for her. Instead, she woke Qiao Zijin who was sleeping. “Mom, what are you doing in the middle of the night. You’re not letting people sleep!”

As there were not enough tuition fees and living expenses, her mood was already bad enough. Her mother had to make so much noise in the wee hours of the night. What did she mean by that?

“Zijin, go and sleep. I, I have to talk to your dad. You better sleep soon. If not, Mom will knock softly and you can cover your head.” Ding Jiayi was tiring out herself in the middle of the night. Wasn’t it all for the sake of Qiao Zijin?

Although she saw that Qiao Zijin was not understanding was furious with her, the bad-tempered Ding Jiayi was not her usual self. Despite Qiao Zijin’s complaint, she was not angry. She still coaxed Qiao Zijin nicely and a.s.sured her that she would lower her volume. What an att.i.tude.

“Fine, then lower your volume,” Qiao Zijin replied sullenly and continued to sleep with her head in the covers.

As to why Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang had to talk to each other outside of their bedroom, Qiao Zijin was not concerned at all.

Qiao Zijin was not concerned, Ding Jiayi did not mind. She stayed outside the study room and continued to knock on the door stubbornly.

Qiao Dongliang’s body was covered with a thick layer of blanket but Ding Jiayi only had her coat on.

Within a few minutes, Ding Jiayi could no longer endure the cold weather. She turned pale and her teeth chattered.

Ding Jiayi had no choice but to return to her bedroom. She wore a thicker layer of clothing and continued to squat outside the door of the study room, knocking at the door from time to time.

On the morning of the second day, Qiao Dongliang opened the door of the study room. He was prepared to wash up, have breakfast and go to work. He discovered that Ding Jiayi, who was wearing a thick layer of clothing, had been squatting and leaning against the door and she slept through the night.

When Qiao Dongliang opened the door, Ding Jiayi, who was leaning against it, fell straight into the room.

At the sight of Ding Jiayi, Qiao Dongliang was both angry and amused.

No matter what, they had been a couple for decades. Facing this sight of Ding Jiayi, Qiao Dongliang certainly did not feel good.

However, when he thought of how Ding Jiayi led Qiao Zijin to squander away all the money, he forced himself to be hard-hearted and decided not to interfere in this matter.

They were not a wealthy and prosperous family. All the family savings were gone. If they do not reduce expenses, how were they going to survive?

It was not easy. He waited so long and his two daughters were becoming successful soon, he must think of a way to allow both of them to continue with their studies.

Whatever it takes, he must correct Old Ding’s corrupted thoughts!

Otherwise, with Old Ding’s foolishness, at least one of the two daughters’ futures would be negatively affected.

Qiao Dongliang gritted his teeth. He did not bother about Ding Jiayi, neither did he call her. As per his usual routine, he washed up, had his breakfast and went straight to work.

“Mom, why are you sleeping here?” Qiao Zijin, who woke up only at eight o’clock, was all dressed up and ready to leave the house when she saw Ding Jiayi lying on the floor and sleeping at the entrance of the study room.

“Aiyoh.” Ding Jiayi screamed pitifully when she was awakened. With that sleeping posture overnight, Ding Jiayi’s entire body felt numb and stiff. “Where is your Dad?”
