At the thought of this sentence, Qiao Dongliang pressed his thin lips into a line, sizing Qiao Zijin up. “Zijin, why are you so diligent today? I remember that you hate to do housework.”

“Dad, you’ve thought too highly of me. You are the one who bought the breakfast. All I did is set the table, nothing more. If you make me wash the dishes, I will definitely not do it. Dad, you know I hate getting my hands wet.” Qiao Zijin bit her lips and schooled her expression.

“Is that so?” Qiao Dongliang did not believe her, and neither did Qiao Nan.

Ding Jiayi might not have been treated like a queen in the Qiao family, but Qiao Zijin was definitely the princess in the Qiao family. She not only refused to do household ch.o.r.es but also lazed around whenever she had the chance.

Based on Qiao Zijin’s temper and selfish character, even for a ch.o.r.e as simple as getting a bowl and chopsticks, albeit not tired, she would rather sit and rest, waiting for other people in the family to get the things ready for her. It was impossible for her to help out.

“I merely helped set the table. Dad, Nan Nan, you’re exaggerating. If I knew that you would react in this way, I would not have helped out at all. In the future, don’t expect me to help out again.” Qiao Zijin grunted. “Your reaction seems to say that I never help out with any ch.o.r.es when I am at home. I am the one who set the tableware. Qiao Nan, you can’t use them. Go get yourself a new set of cutlery!”

That miserable wretch! She had already helped set the tableware, yet Qiao Nan was still so suspicious of her.

Being good to Qiao Nan brought her nothing but humiliation to herself!

Besides, it was Qiao Nan who owed her. Hence, Qiao Nan should be good to her, not the other way round.

“Fine, I will take it myself.” Qiao Nan smiled. She would rather take the time to do the ch.o.r.es by herself than being served by Qiao Zijin.

Qiao Nan did not dare to use the tableware set by Qiao Zijin, but she enjoyed the hearty breakfast that Qiao Dongliang bought.

Qiao Zijin, who sat by the side with a book in her hand, could not stand Qiao Nan. What was wrong with Qiao Nan? It was only a simple breakfast, but why did Qiao Nan take her own sweet time to finish them? She made it seem like she was very well-mannered.

To Qiao Zijin, Qiao Nan took a very long time to chew every bite.

“Sister, why are you staring at me? Are you hungry? Would like to have more of the breakfast? Since there are more than enough, you can help yourself.” Qiao Zijin would look at Qiao Nan from time to time, making her very uncomfortable.

“I am not staring at you! Besides, if you did not look at me, how would you know I was watching you? Qiao Nan, why were you peeking at me?!” Qiao Zijin refused to admit that she was staring at Qiao Nan.

“Enough, it’s still early in the morning.” Qiao Dongliang had a headache. “Nan Nan, take your time to eat. Have more of the food. Here’s your water bottle. I have filled it up for you.” Qiao Dongliang knew that Qiao Nan had the habit of bringing a water bottle with her when she went out to read her books.

Therefore, Qiao Dongliang would help Qiao Nan cool the water in advance. Since he was free today, he helped Qiao Nan fill the bottle with water so that Qiao Nan could save some time.

“Thank you, Dad.” After taking the water bottle, Qiao Nan finished the last bite of the deep-fried dough sticks and wiped her mouth.

As soon as Qiao Nan stood up, Qiao Zijin’s eyes lit up instantly. Worried that Qiao Nan and Qiao Dongliang might find her suspicious, Qiao Zijin covered her face with her book.

Qiao Nan looked at Qiao Dongliang and lifted her chin. What was wrong with Qiao Zijin today?

Qiao Dongliang shook his head. He had no idea what was wrong with Qiao Zijin as well. But he paid no attention to her.
