Chapter 1056 - Accidentally Tore Them (1/2)

“Wait for me for a while. I will return the clothes immediately.” After hanging up the phone, Qiao Zijin undressed and placed the clothes in a bag without a word. She then sent them, which still had her warmth, over to Qiao Dongliang.

After putting down the phone, Qiao Dongliang’s entire body felt a little listless. It was as if someone had sucked out much of his strength.

It was a matter that he thought could be easily resolved and should not pose any problem. Unfortunately, there were so many side issues. He felt that it was really very tiring to communicate with his elder daughter.

This was such a simple matter. Why did her elder daughter make it so complicated and exhausting?

Sitting listlessly, Qiao Dongliang mustered his courage and said to Qiao Nan, “Nan Nan, I have always heard the elders saying that one has to pamper and spend money on daughters but be strict and spend less money on sons. Now, it seems that this is true. I am not capable. Your sister refuses to budge whenever she has her eyes on something good. Your sister is very picky. This is her first time coming across good stuff. She would inevitably make some mistakes. Fortunately, she is willing to rectify her mistake. Don’t take issue with her.”

Qiao Nan turned and looked at Qiao Dongliang. “Dad, it’s not just the Zhai family. You should be most aware of how willing the outsiders are in sending me gifts. Until today, I only have two sets of clothing given to me by my future mother-in-law in my closet. Are you saying you have been spending very little on my sister and a lot on me?”

d.a.m.n, was he kidding her?!

Qiao Dongliang choked on his breath. “No, it’s different. You… you resemble more of our Qiao family. Your… your sister resembles Old Ding’s family!” Qiao Dongliang said with some annoyance.

Everyone from the Qiao family was good. Zijin had been led astray by Ding Jiayi. That was why she was so improvident.

Fortunately, this matter happened at home and the embarra.s.sment was contained.

Otherwise, Qiao Dongliang’s little wish of getting along amicably with Qiao Zijin would have been snuffed out totally.

“I’ll give you 100 marks for this explanation.” Qiao Nan’s lips curled. Good things resembled her father and bad things resembled her mother. Wow!

Bam! After about forty minutes, there was a loud slam on the door. Qiao Dongliang quickly stood up. He wanted to let Qiao Zijin salvage her image in front of Qiao Nan. “Your sister is back. See, she is a good one. She is willing to listen to me.”

After Nan Nan was married, he did not have many other thoughts. He just needed to think of ways to rectify the flaws in Zijin’s character.

He believed that since he had taught Nan Nan so well, he would certainly be able to make Zijin become a good lady.

Look at how much Zijin obeyed him.

That was wishful thinking on Qiao Dongliang’s part. However, Qiao Zijin’s behavior gave Qiao Dongliang a vicious slap on the face.

When Qiao Dongliang opened the door and looked at Qiao Zijin happily, he saw Qiao Zijin hugging a bag in her arms. The bag was dirty and Qiao Zijin was crying miserably. “Sorry, Dad. You have to help me explain to Nan Nan later. I didn’t do it on purpose. As I rushed my way here, I tripped and fell. I spoiled Nan Nan’s clothing.”

“S-spoiled?” Qiao Dongliang’s head seemed to have been hit by a hammer. He was stupefied.

He was not sure why, but Qiao Nan’s earlier words rang in his ears: If the clothes are spoiled or have any problem, get Qiao Zijin to pay back according to the market price.

These words of his younger daughter seemed as if she was able to predict the future. She seemed to know that his elder daughter would definitely fall and the clothes would not be saved.

No one had the power to predict the future. In this case, the words of the younger daughter and the fall of the elder daughter… What did this mean?
