Chapter 563 - Qiao Dongliang’s Anger (2/2)
She would not take the initiative to push her father toward Qiao Zijin, but if her father wanted to stand on her side, she would not do anything about it. However, once he made his decision, she would not be as close to him as before.
For Qiao Zijin and her, they were not destined to be sisters. If they could not be father and daughter, she would not be able to do anything about it as well.
“It’s good that you are not angry. Take a rest. Let me check if the water is boiled. I will bring the water to the bathroom.” Qiao Dongliang breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the kitchen.
Qiao Nan, who finally had some peace to herself, brought her luggage back into her room. She folded her clothes and placed them into her wardrobe.
“Dad, what did Nan Nan say?” As soon as Qiao Dongliang entered the kitchen, Qiao Zijin pretended to ask about her sister casually.
“What do you mean?” Qiao Dongliang pretended not to understand.
“Dad, you understand what I mean!” Qiao Zijin pouted while stomping her feet. “It’s been so long. I have told you that I have realized my mistake. Nan Nan is my one and only sister. I was muddleheaded in the past. That’s why I lost my temper at her. I have figured it out now. I want to ask Nan Nan for forgiveness. Dad, are you really not going to help me?”
“I won’t help!” Qiao Dongliang said firmly and sternly. “Zijin, I can help you with anything but this. Not only will I not help you, but I will not help your mom as well. Look at what you did in the past. You have hurt Nan Nan. n.o.body’s heart is made of stones, but both of you were too hard-hearted and only knew to protect your own interests, completely ignoring Nan Nan’s well-being. Isn’t Nan Nan your family? Your mom gave birth to her as well. In these past few months, whenever I thought about what both of you did, I couldn’t help but doubt whether both of you were heartless!”
Qiao Dongliang expected better from his daughter. He had no idea why she turned out to be like this.
She framed her sister, was full of lies, cheated in the exams, and copied her sister’s essay to…
As a student, Zijin had done everything that a student was not supposed to do.
She had such behavior when she was young. What would she be like when she grew up?
What she did now was merely going against the rules. Qiao Dongliang was worried that when Qiao Zijin grew up and had the means, she might go against the law.
At the thought that Qiao Zijin might harm the interests of the people and the party in the future, Qiao Dongliang had the impulse to do something to her right now before she had the chance to do anything illegal.
As a soldier, he could never tolerate the fact that his children would do things that were detrimental to national interests.
“Dad, has Nan Nan said anything? Why do you stare at me with such expression? You give me a fright.” Qiao Dongliang’s gaze was similar to that of a hungry tiger who had found his prey. Qiao Zijin was shocked.
Since a young age, this was the first time she saw such a ferocious look on her father’s face. Did Qiao Nan badmouth her and sow discord between her and her father?
“Look at you. You told me that you wanted to change, but I don’t see any changes. Whenever there’s a problem, you will suspect that it’s Nan Nan who is behind it. Why don’t you do some self-reflection? The problem lies with you.” Qiao Dongliang was exasperated. “Nan Nan did not say anything!”
If Nan Nan badmouthed Zijin in front of him, he would be able to find an excuse for them that both of his daughters were still young, that they had some bad habits and flaws in their character, but they would change eventually.
