Chapter 15: Dropping the Chain

After the book was snatched away by Qiao Dongliang, Qiao Zijin realized that someone had entered her room.

Qiao Zijin was embarrassed for a moment and said to Ding Jiayi: "Mom, why didn't you knock when you entered my room?"

"What kind of messed up book are you reading!" Qiao Zijin also saw the "key plot comparison" content. Qiao Dongliang took a glance and got angry: "You just stay in your room and read this kind of book to review your knowledge?"

Without giving Qiao Zijin time to react, Qiao Dongliang crossed his arms and tore up the book: "You don't let Nannan go to school, but you give Zijin the spare money to buy this. Old Ding, let me ask you, does my family have money?"

Qiao Dongliang saw that the book was not cheap, and the eldest daughter's name was written on the book, so there was no doubt that the book belonged to her.

"I..." Ding Jiayi was dumbfounded. Old Qiao liked his daughter to read and learn to read so that she could have a bright future and make up for his regret of retiring from the army. This was the first time she saw Old Qiao tear up his daughter's book.

"I didn't." Ding Jiayi quickly explained: "I didn't give Zijin any money, and I haven't heard that Zijin bought any books recently."

Ding Jiayi felt that she was really wronged. In order to use her connections and bribes to help Zijin, she had to cut down on all the expenses at home and even restrained herself from having sex every day.

How could she possibly give Zijin spare money to buy this kind of book?

Ding Jiayi didn't know what was written in the book, but when she saw Qiao Dongliang just glanced at the contents of the book and then tore up the book in anger, she intuitively felt that the contents of the book were probably not that good.

Otherwise, Qiao Dongliang would not have reacted like this.

Qiao Nan picked up the book from the ground curiously and turned to the last page.

Having been sisters with Qiao Zijin for two lifetimes, how could she not know what Qiao Zijin's habits were.

Sure enough, when Qiao Nan turned to the last page of the book, he found a row of times written on it. The time shown was more than half a year ago, which should be around the Chinese New Year last year.

Looking at the paper again, it is no longer new, which shows that Qiao Zijin did not keep the book lying around after buying it half a year ago, but had finished reading it a long time ago.

Calculating the time, Qiao Nan couldn't help but get angry. Half a year ago was the most critical half year for Qiao Zijin's high school entrance examination. Qiao Zijin had money but didn't buy review materials. Instead, she bought this three-volume book and finished it. No wonder Qiao Zijin's grades were not very good and she only barely made it to high school after the high school entrance examination.

Qiao Dongliang originally came from the army and had better insight than most people.

He only saw the movements of Qiao Nan flipping the pages. Qiao Dongliang understood the information he needed to grasp at a glance without Qiao Nan having to say a single word.

Thinking that her eldest daughter had time to read such idle books at a time when she was preparing for the critical high school entrance examination, and thinking about her results in the examination, Qiao Dongliang was extremely disappointed.

After he was discharged from the army, he hoped that his two daughters would have a bright future, so he sent them both to school.

If the eldest daughter was stupid, this result was the result of her best efforts. Even if she did poorly on the test, he never scolded her even once in two whole months.

But now Qiao Dongliang knows that it is not the case. His eldest daughter is not focusing on her studies at all.

"No wonder your grades have always been bad. Are you focusing on this?" Qiao Dongliang was puzzled. His eldest daughter was only a few years old, but she could already read such love books and even cried while reading them.

Qiao Dongliang wanted to raise his eldest daughter for seventeen years, but she had never given him an eye for anything. Now she had devoted all her love to a book, and he felt very suffocated.

Not being able to lose his temper with his eldest daughter, Qiao Dongliang yelled at Ding Jiayi: "She is about to take the high school entrance exam, and she is still reading such immoral books. There is no way she can get good grades! Zijin's mind is not on studying, but you force her to study. Nannan has always performed so well, but you have to be weird and not let Nannan study. What do you mean?!"

Then, Qiao Dongliang snatched the book from Qiao Nan's hand and smashed it on Ding Jiayi's face.

Getting hit on the face didn't hurt, but it was ugly. Ding Jiayi was humiliated, but she couldn't refute a word at this moment: "Zijin, why are you..."

How could it fail at such a critical moment!

Ding Jiayi really didn't expect that in such an important six months, her eldest daughter not only did not review well, but also watched.

But Ding Jiayi knew that even when Qiao Nan wanted to read at home, she would not give him the opportunity. She would always order him to do this and that and clean the house thoroughly.

There was still a buzzing sound in Qiao Zijin's ears, and she was completely stunned, or perhaps she was frightened.

When Qiao Zijin is studying, no one at home will disturb her.

Especially today, Qiao Zijin specifically told Ding Jiayi that she was going to read. According to her previous habits, Ding Jiayi would never let anyone disturb her or enter her room.

It was because Ding Jiayi was watching over her that Qiao Zijin felt so relieved.

As the plot got deeper, Qiao Zijin was completely immersed in it. She was crying uncontrollably because the hero and heroine were separated by the hero's original wife. Then, three more people suddenly appeared in the room.

Qiao Zijin's own review found that the content of this book had nothing to do with her junior high school studies.

"No, no, Dad, you misunderstood. This book... I, I read it after I finished the exam, so I didn't have time to read it before..."

Qiao Zijin stuttered for a while and couldn't utter a complete sentence, but everyone understood her cunning excuse.

Ding Jiayi reacted and quickly protected Qiao Zijin: "Old Qiao, you heard it, Zijin bought this book early, but just read it. The matter of the high school entrance examination has nothing to do with this book. Zijin is so sensible, how could he do such a thing."

"I haven't read it. Does it look like a new book that has never been read?"

"Dad, I haven't read it, but I have lent it to other classmates!"

"Who did you lend it to?"

"I lent it to Wang Hua from the next class." However, Wang Hua moved away four months ago and didn't even come back to take the high school entrance exam. Her father definitely couldn't find her.

"It's the one who moved. Sis, when did you become so close to the guy in the class next to you?" Qiao Nan laughed. Qiao Zijin could say this to please her mother, but she was too naive to fool her father.

It's obvious that the family has moved and is no longer here. Even if Dad wants to ask, there is no evidence.

"Shut up!" Ding Jiayi yelled at Qiao Nan, "It's already this late, and you're still adding fuel to the fire. Qiao Nan, what are you thinking? Can you talk? If not, then forget it!"

Seeing Qiao Dongliang's face getting darker and darker, Ding Jiayi was also frightened.

"Dad, it's time to register. How about my tuition?" Qiao Nan changed the subject. Registration was imminent. Would she be able to get her tuition? "Dad, I've run out of pens and notebooks."

Qiao Dongliang let out a long breath and said, "Give 20 yuan to Nannan."
