"Dad, you are different from me. You always think that one day my sister can still be a good daughter. To me, she can never be a good sister. Dad, don't worry about the relationship between me and my sister in the future."
Qiao Nan is not afraid of anything else now, but she is worried that if she really has the ability to fly away in the future, Qiao Zijin will cling to her and suck her blood before she has the ability to do so when she sees that she is good. If she refuses, her father will adjust the relationship between her and Qiao Zijin based on his weak mentality.
Thinking of the relationship between herself and Zhai Sheng that was just confirmed this morning, Qiao Nan has to be more cautious.
"Nannan, you and your sister?" Is this a plan to never have any contact with each other again? Does Nannan no longer want to recognize Zijin as her sister?
"Dad, what I can say is that my sister is too cunning. Yes, she is my sister, but it doesn't make sense for me to always be nice to my sister, help my sister, and support my sister just because she always plots against me and harms me. If nothing else, at least I won't stand my sister being better than me. Because of our blood relationship, as long as my sister doesn't bother me, I will definitely not do anything to her."
Qiao Dongliang clenched his fists and placed them on his knees, not knowing what to say: "But what if you are nice to your sister and she comes to her senses? Nannan, your sister is immature, but you only have this one sister. Are you going to give up on her?"
Qiao Nan's face also sank, and she was particularly reluctant to answer Qiao Dongliang's question.
She has been treating her sister well all her life, but her sister not only did not wake up, but became even more aggressive. Qiao Zijin's heart is hard to warm.
"Dad, is it because I am more sensible than my sister, so when my sister makes a mistake, I must be the one who gives in and tolerates, 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 have to hold on to her? Why? What if my sister can't wake up, do I have to sacrifice my whole life, stay with my sister, influence my sister, and take care of my sister?"
Qiao Dongliang shook his head quickly: "No, no matter how ignorant your sister is, it is impossible for her to..."
"Then when will my sister become sensible, Dad, can you tell me clearly? My sister is immature now, she just doesn't want me to study. In the future, the boyfriend I'm going to find is better than the one my sister has found. What do you think my sister will do? Should I break up with my boyfriend for my sister and not get married, or find a man who is slightly worse than my sister's boyfriend to satisfy my sister's desire for surpassing him? My sister's life is perfect, Dad, but what about mine? She has been spoiled by you and mom all her life, and I have given in to her. Dad, what can I have in my life?"
"You..." Qiao Dongliang couldn't answer.
"Dad, you and mom favor my sister. It doesn't matter. I won't fight for it. Without you and mom, I want to be good to myself. Is that okay?" At the end, Qiao Nan's tone was 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 want to go this far? Maybe, we can set a time for your sister. If she doesn't change by then, you can just leave her alone?" Qiao Dongliang gritted his teeth. He also knew that what he said was still biased and too unfair to Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan smiled, but her smile was not warm at all: "Set a time? Dad, then when do you say we should set the time? My sister is already an adult, and in another year, she will be twenty. Do you think we should set the time when she is thirty, forty, or fifty?"
A person's life only lasts a few years, and Qiao Zijin has almost walked through a quarter of her life. She still needs her 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, and I can't live with this shadow for the rest of my life. She is not my daughter. And even you, Dad, can't guarantee that my sister will ever change for the better in her life. Dad, I can't afford to gamble." She didn't want to gamble anymore, she had already gambled her whole life!
"Nannan, are you ready to draw a line between you and your sister?"
"On New Year's Eve, your sister forced me to leave the Qiao family compound. Shouldn't I draw a line between you and her and spend the New Year with her?" Qiao Nan replied helplessly.
Qiao Dongliang rubbed his face vigorously. Although both of his daughters were still studying, he had the illusion that both of them had grown up and were leaving the family. His
daughters had really grown up, and both the older and younger ones had their own thoughts, but he, as a father, didn't know anything about it.
"Okay, this is your own life. You have to make your own decision about how to go in the future. Dad can't make choices for you. As long as you can do it with a clear conscience, Dad won't say anything else."
He has no qualifications and reasons to let Nan Nan support Zi Jin for his whole life. Nan Nan has no such 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 about the past, Ding Jiayi directly cut off contact with her natal family in order to marry him and find the life she wanted. In the past 20 years, Ding Jiayi has really never gone home to visit. Qiao Dongliang can especially understand why Qiao Zi Jin and Qiao Nan can be so decisive in doing things, especially when facing family affection, and not like him, hesitating.
The three of them are exactly alike.
He, the head of the family, has long been dead in name only.
The three women in their Qiao family are righteous and he cannot control them.
His wife doesn't listen, and his eldest daughter can't be controlled.
Qiao Dongliang knows that he can't just pick on the weak and bully Nan Nan because she is the one with the best temper among the three of them, so he asks Nan Nan to make as many sacrifices as possible for the family.
Unless he has the ability to make Ding Jiayi and Zijin change, Qiao Dongliang knows that he really doesn't have the face to ask Qiao Nan to do so many things.
"Dad, thank you for understanding me." As soon as Qiao Dongliang let go, Qiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
Her father is the only concern she has in this family.
