But after what happened today, her mother’s words had been echoing in her mind like a curse.

“Mom, you only know to cry and complain, but can your tears bring Dad back to us? Mom, search your conscience. You were the one who asked me to come up with ways to help you reconcile with Dad so that he would go back to sharing a room with you. Mom, you were the one who came to me for ideas. How could you blame me for what happened today? You followed Qiao Nan and found your way to the Zhai family. You were the one who said that Qiao Nan must have stolen or picked up the key from somewhere. Besides, who was the one who mistook someone else for her own daughter? Everyone in the entire quad must be laughing at you for not recognizing your own daughter and lecturing someone else’s daughter instead. Can you blame me for all of these? You cannot blame me for mistaking someone else for Qiao Nan.”

Qiao Zijin was boiling with anger as well.

She pretended to be nice in front of Qiao Dongliang, but she dropped all pretenses with Ding Jiayi.

“Mom, I admit that you are good to me. But you treated Nan Nan badly and that angered Dad. Whose fault is it if Dad wants to settle old scores with you? I did not instruct you to treat Nan Nan badly. Dad moved out with Nan Nan due to the series of things you did in the past. Dad wants to settle the old scores with you!”

With that, Qiao Zijin pushed all the blame onto Ding Jiayi.

Ding Jiayi cried, feeling angry and embarra.s.sed. “Yes, I treated Qiao Nan badly, but that’s because I wanted to save everything good for you.”

“If so, why is that when you were pregnant with Qiao Nan and had the impression that the baby was a boy, you never spared me any good food?” Qiao Zijin asked a burning question that had always been on her mind.

“What are you talking about?” Ding Jiayi frowned, not remembering the incident Qiao Zijin was referring to.

Qiao Zijin sneered. Both she and Qiao Nan were Ding Jiayi’s daughters. Her mother could not remember how badly she treated Qiao Nan and pushed the responsibility of what happened today to her. Of course, her mother would not remember how she had all the good food when she was pregnant with Qiao Nan and how she neglected Qiao Zijin back then.

Generally, people would not have a clear memory of what had happened when they were young, especially when they were about three or four years old.

But Qiao Zijin remembered very clearly what happened when she was a child, particularly the ten months when her mother was pregnant with Qiao Nan.

“Forget it. No matter how much we quarrel, Dad will not come back. Dad has said that he will decide based on our performance. If by pus.h.i.+ng all the blame to me, Dad will change his mind and come back home, I will really have to hand it to you. Otherwise, instead of quarreling with me, it is more practical for you to find a way to let Dad know that you have changed for the better. I am going back to the room!”

Back when she was young, she knew that her mother was not reliable. However, she did not expect that after so many years, her mother, who had doted on her all those years, would remain so unreliable.

If she had known, she would have found an excuse to leave with her father.

Qiao Zijin pulled a long face and went back to her room. She opened the door with force, packed her things, and came out with her schoolbag. “Today is the weekend. I am going back to school. Give me some money for my meals!”
