"Dad, you are different from me. You always think that one day, my sister can be a good daughter. She will never be a good sister to me. The relationship between me and my sister, Dad, Don’t be too busy in the future.”
Qiao Nan is not afraid of anything else now. She is just worried that if she really becomes capable and can fly out in the future, Qiao Zijin will grab her and suck her blood before he sees how good she is. If she refused, her father would try to mediate her relationship with Qiao Zijin out of a weak mentality.
Thinking of the relationship between herself and Zhai Sheng that was only confirmed this morning, Qiao Nan had to be even more careful.
"Nan Nan, you and your sister?" Are you planning to stay away from each other forever? Does Nan Nan not want to recognize Zijin as her sister
"Dad, what I can say is that my sister is too ill-intentioned. Yes, she is my sister, but she doesn't always scheme against me or harm me. I still have to be kind to my sister, help her, and pull her along. It's my sister's fault. If nothing else, at least I won't see my sister being better than me. Because of this blood relationship, as long as my sister doesn't mess with me, I will definitely not do anything to my sister."
Qiao Dongliang clenched his fists and put them on his knees. He didn't know what to say: "But what if you treat your sister well and your sister wakes up? Nannan, your sister is ignorant, but You only have one sister like this, do you want to give up on her?"
Qiao Nan's face also darkened. She was particularly reluctant to answer Qiao Dongliang's question.
She spent her whole life being kind to her sister, but instead of waking up, her sister got worse. Qiao Zijin's heart couldn't be warmed.
"Dad, is it because I am more sensible than my sister, so when my sister makes a mistake, I must be the one who has to give in and tolerate it, and my sister can be selfish and willful? Yes, she is my only sister. But I am still her only sister. Why can she do this to me and plot against me, but I insist on holding her? Why? If my sister fails to wake up, do I have to sacrifice myself? For the rest of your life, you will never leave my sister, try to influence her, and take care of her?"
Qiao Dongliang shook his head quickly: "No, no matter how ignorant your sister is, she will never be able to..."
"Then when will my sister become sensible? Dad, can you tell me clearly? My sister is not sensible now. She just doesn't want me to study. The boyfriend I want to find in the future will be better than my sister. What do you think my sister will do? What will I do? Should I break up with my boyfriend for my sister's sake and not get married, or should I find a man who is worse than my sister's boyfriend to satisfy my sister's desire for transcendence? My sister's life is actually perfect. Dad, what about mine? She has been pampered by you and mom all her life, and she has been given care by me. Dad, what can I have in this life? "
"You..." Qiao Dongliang couldn't answer.
"Dad, it doesn't matter if you and mom prefer my sister and are good to my sister. I won't earn it or rob her. Without you and my mother, I want to be good to myself. Can it be done?" At the end of the sentence, Qiao Nan's tone It's full of bitterness, aren't her demands low enough
"Nan Nan, you and your sister are still young. Are you really sure that you and your sister are going to reach this point? Maybe we can set a time for your sister. If she doesn't change by that time, you Just leave her alone?" Qiao Dongliang gritted his teeth. He also knew that his words were biased and unfair to Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan smiled, without any warmth at all: "Set a time? Dad, then when will you decide? My sister is already an adult. In one year, she will be twenty. Do you think we should set a date? In her thirties, forties, or fifties?"
A person's life only lasts a few years, and Qiao Zijin has almost completed a quarter of her life. She still needs to set a time for Qiao Zijin
"Dad, you are my sister's biological father. You will not give up on her. I understand. She and I are sisters. If I have to live with this shadow all my life, I can't do it. She is not my daughter. And even Dad, you can't guarantee that my sister will change for the better one day in her life. Dad, I can't afford to gamble." She didn't want to gamble anymore, she had been gambling all her life!
"Nan Nan, are you ready to draw a clear line with your sister?"
"A sister who can force me to stay in Qiao's courtyard on New Year's Eve, don't I draw a clear line and keep it for this year's New Year?" Qiao Nan said helplessly.
Qiao Dongliang rubbed his face vigorously. Although his two daughters were still studying, he had the illusion that his two daughters had grown up and wanted to leave this home.
My daughter has really grown up. Both the older and the younger have their own thoughts, but his father has no idea at all.
"Okay, this is your own life. You have to make your own decision on how to go in the future. Dad can't make the choice for you. As long as you have a clear conscience in your life, Dad won't do much else. What did you say?"
He had no qualifications or reason to let Nan Nan drag Zi Jin around for the rest of his life. Nan Nan had no obligation to Zi Jin.
If Nan Nan is willing, it is Nan Nan's love for Zi Jin. If Nan Nan is not willing, it is her duty.
Thinking back then, Ding Jiayi cut off contact with her natal family in order to marry her and find the life she wanted. In the past twenty years, Ding Jiayi had never gone home to see her. Qiao Dongliang could especially understand why Qiao Zi Jin and Qiao Nan can be so decisive when doing things, especially when facing family relationships, unlike him who is hesitant.
The three of them are exactly the same.
He, the head of the family, has long been dead.
The three women of their Qiao family have good ideas and are beyond his control.
Wife, my wife won’t listen, my eldest daughter, my eldest daughter can’t control me.
Qiao Dongliang knew that he couldn't pick on the weak and bullied Nannan for being the sweetest among the three, so he asked Nannan to make as many sacrifices as possible for the family.
Unless he has the ability to make Ding Jiayi and Zijin change, Qiao Dongliang understands that he really doesn't have the nerve to ask Qiao Nan to do so many things.
"Dad, thank you for understanding me." As soon as Qiao Dongliang relaxed, Qiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
Her father is her only concern in this family.
"This thank you makes Dad feel ashamed. In this family, there seems to be only so much Dad can do for you. Your mother and your sister each have bigger ideas than the other, and are more stubborn than the other. The things they do, I I don't have the shame to mention it in front of you. It's because I couldn't understand that that's why I said those stupid words to you. Nan Nan, don't take it to heart. From now on, you can do whatever you want, dad doesn't care." Qiao Dongliang He shook his hand dejectedly, and his slumped shoulders made him feel as if he had aged five years.
