Chapter 195: You Were a Good Father

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As a girl, Qiao Nan might be able to find a rich husband and lead a good life in the future if she was pretty.

However, Qiao Nan was not as pretty as Qiao Zijin. In the future, it would be good enough if she could find someone who would be true to her. Given her looks, it would be impossible for her to find a man who was rich enough to provide her with a good life.

It was amazing what a spouse could do. Ding Jiayi had brainwashed Qiao Dongliang for eighteen years. Qiao Dongliang no longer used his own judgment to decide whether Ding Jiayi’s words were correct or wrong.

Now that Qiao Dongliang calmed down, he could finally make his own judgments.

Being bright at an early age did not necessarily bring success upon growing up. If that was the case, Zijin would not have any big achievements when she grew up.

Impossible…

Yes, Nan Nan might not be as good with words as Zijin, but Nan Nan was the industrious type. What was the use of being good with words? People could tell whether one was capable or not from their performance.

Speaking of looks…

Qiao Dongliang looked at Qiao Nan’s face closely, and his heart became more and more depressed.

Qiao Dongliang used to be a soldier. As he was always out under the sun, his skin complexion was very dark. Naturally, Ding Jiayi looked fairer in comparison. Ding Jiayi often said that Qiao Zijin looked like her, having skin as fair as her. Apparently, Qiao Zijin had the same complexion as Ding Jiayi.

However, although Qiao Dongliang might have a dark complexion, the parts of the body that were not exposed to the sun were fair, a tone lighter than Ding Jiayi’s.

In terms of skin complexion, Qiao Nan was like Qiao Dongliang, fairer than Qiao Zijin.

As the saying goes ‘A fair complexion is good enough to cover one’s faults’. Qiao Nan had an advantage over Qiao Zijin. Besides, Qiao Zijin had facial features like that of Ding Jiayi: a rather square face. Meanwhile, Qiao Nan looked like Qiao Dongliang. She had a defined chin, the most popular face shape in the 21st century.

Others might need to do plastic surgery, but Qiao Nan was born with it.

Qiao Zijin’s face, while round and fleshy, was slightly square. On the other hand, her body shape was exactly the preference of the elders at the end of the 20th century. According to the elders, women with this type of body shape would have children easily.

But Qiao Dongliang was a man. He knew that as compared to how elders judged and decided who the best daughter-in-law was, men judged women based on different sets of standards.

Qiao Dongliang did not know which face shape was popular in the 21st century, but he knew that people with pretty-looking faces could make others happy regardless of what the popular face shape was at that time.

Qiao Nan’s face was a typical example. Her face was the size of the palm. She had a defined chin, dewy jet-black eyes, a little cherry-shaped mouth, and a n.o.ble nose.

The more Qiao Dongliang looked at his own daughter, the more he felt that not only did she have extraordinary features but also beautiful. Her looks could rival those of superstars on TV.

Given all these attributes, Nan Nan had the good looks and the brains. She was nothing like what Ding Jiayi had said—that she would not have a promising future and would be worse than Zijin.

How did Ding Jiayi come to this conclusion? The strangest thing was how did he believe in this kind of nonsense for eighteen years? Why did he not realize his mistakes earlier?
