“Alright, your mom is still waiting for you at home. She will be worried if you are late.” Qiao Dongliang felt bitter at the words that he said to Qiao Zijin. She was his elder daughter, the daughter that he intended to keep by his side.

Qiao Dongliang had not expected that there would be a day where he would mock his elder daughter. In fact, what he said just now was what Qiao Zijin had once said.

“Fine, I will go back!” She was not willing to stay a minute longer!

“Don’t you want the snacks?” Qiao Zijin turned and was about to leave. Qiao Dongliang sighed and gave her a gentle reminder. “This is your last chance. If you don’t take them, it will be gone.”

“I…”

Qiao Zijin bit on her lips and stared at the two kilograms of snacks on the table, her face flushed red in anger. Finally, she stomped her feet, grabbed the bags, and dashed out of the small quad.

“…”

“…”

Qiao Dongliang and Qiao Nan were lost for words.

In the end, it was Qiao Nan who came out of her shock first. As the saying goes, ‘He who understands the times is a wise man’. This was indeed Qiao Zijin’s style of handling things.

Qiao Dongliang rubbed his temple. Maybe what Nan Nan said was right. He could no longer say that Qiao Zijin was still young and insensible. Her temperament and personality… Was it true that when Ding Jiayi was pregnant with the second child, they had neglected her and hence she bore grudges against him?

If that was the case, she must have harbored grudges against Ding Jiayi as well.

Qiao Dongliang, who could not understand, looked at Qiao Nan. “Nan Nan, you said that your sister harbors grudges against me because we neglected her. Then, why did she treat your mom… Your mom favors sons more than daughters. She was the one who suggested that we should have a second child.”

“My sister is not genuine to mom,” Qiao Nan said coldly. “Back then, Mom used to have the economic authority at home and you respected her opinions. My sister only had to please Mom and she would have the whole family in the palm of her hand. Unless she is capable enough and no longer needs to rely on Mom, she has to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with Mom no matter how she really feels about Mom. If she falls out with Mom, n.o.body in this house will support her and help her get everything that she wants.”

Qiao Dongliang patted his forehead, feeling uncomfortable all of a sudden. “I… I need to take a rest.”

They were one family. He and Ding Jiayi gave the best to the two daughters, particularly Qiao Zijin, the elder daughter. He had doted on her and pampered her. He had not mistreated her in any way. Why would she harbor grudges against her parents?

Could this still be considered a family?

Did Zijin treat them as her parents, or was she bidding for time to take revenge on them?

“Dad, you should have a rest. I will wash these bowls.” She was telling the truth. She would rather her father found out the truth earlier than for him to realize it after he had given Zijin all his money, just like what happened in the previous lifetime.
