Chapter 325: A "Reunion" Year
Apart from money, what else could make her father look so embarrassed?
"Your mother, we are all family, and we always get together during the Chinese New Year. This Mid-Autumn Festival, our family didn't have the chance to sit at the same table to eat. What do you think about this, Nannan?" Although Qiao Dongliang felt embarrassed, he also wanted to have this reunion dinner.
He did not divorce Ding Jiayi. Ding Jiayi was his wife and Qiao Zijin was his daughter. Even if they really divorced, it was not an excessive thing for the family to sit together and have a meal together rarely in a year.
"Dad, you want to eat too, right?" Qiao Nan curled his lips. "If you want to eat too, I have no objection. Do you want to eat at Qiao's Courtyard or here?"
"Let's go back to Qiao's yard." This yard was lent to them by Pingcheng High School. Based on what Ding Jiayi had done, Qiao Dongliang said that no matter how thick-skinned he was and how much he wanted to have this meal, he would not let this meal be served in this "home."
"Okay then, it's settled." Qiao Nan nodded and agreed immediately.
"Nannan, will you be unhappy?" Qiao Dongliang was surprised by Qiao Nan's immediate agreement. He thought Nannan would be unhappy and would not agree.
Who would have known that he had so many words to persuade Nan Nan, but not a single word was used.
Sure enough, Nan Nan is the most sensible and obedient child in the family, and he doesn't have to worry about anything.
Qiao Nan turned around and said calmly: "There's nothing to be unhappy about." It's just a meal.
"I'm glad you're not unhappy. Let's have a good meal during the New Year this year. Don't worry, Nannan. With dad here, your mom won't..." Qiao Dongliang showed a happy smile.
"Dad, I know." Qiao Nan interrupted Qiao Dongliang. Her mother wouldn't, what wouldn't she? No matter how honest her mother was, she couldn't be honest. Otherwise, she wouldn't have caused such a big disturbance in school before, causing her to almost be unable to continue studying in Pingcheng High School.
If it weren't for Brother Zhai's help, she would have been forced to transfer schools by her mother.
"That's good to know." As a traditional Chinese, Qiao Dongliang was happy that this year was no exception. He had a happy and happy New Year with his family reunited. He didn't realize that although Qiao Nan was not unhappy, she was not as happy as the New Year he had spent.
The days around the New Year always go by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi were busy here and there, and it was New Year's Eve.
"Old Qiao, it's so late today, you shouldn't go back, just stay." After spending a few days together, Qiao Dongliang's attitude towards Ding Jiayi improved a lot, and Ding Jiayi also became more friendly towards Qiao Dongliang.
Thinking of lying in the cold quilt every night and how there was always someone missing to warm her, Ding Jiayi grabbed Qiao Dongliang's hand emotionally and refused to let go: "Old Qiao..."
Qiao Dongliang was also somewhat tempted, but in the end he let Ding Jiayi let go: "No, Nan Nan is alone at home, I am worried."
"Nannan is a big kid. She will be an adult after the New Year and can take care of herself. You can stay. Otherwise, you can leave in two hours. Zijin will be asleep anyway." No matter what, she would keep Lao Qiao first. As for whether she would let Lao Qiao leave after two hours, that would be a matter for two hours later.
"No!" Qiao Dongliang's face was stern. "Ding Jiayi, if it were you, would you let Zijin stay alone in the house? Ding Jiayi, is your old problem coming back again? You can't be at peace anymore? If you continue to be like this, I think I have to think about whether we should have the New Year's Eve dinner together this year."
"What's wrong with me? Why am I so restless? Haven't I done well enough in the past six months?" Ding Jiayi just felt wronged.
If Old Joe hadn't been in a bad mood, she would have wanted to ask him why he moved to a new house for the second time after gambling with her last time, without even leaving her a message, which scared her so much.
"You know in your heart whether you have done well enough. If it weren't for Zijin, do you think I would have brought Nannan back this year? Ding Jiayi, you disappoint me so much." The relationship between the two had just eased, but because of Ding Jiayi's words, it immediately returned to the starting point.
Qiao Dongliang's face turned cold. He shook off Ding Jiayi's hand and walked away without hesitation, without even looking back.
"Are you arguing with my dad again?" Qiao Zijin, who had just woken up and was thirsty and came out to get a drink of water, heard a few words of argument, yawned, and walked over.
"What are you arguing about? It's all because of that damn girl Qiao Nan who said bad things about me right in front of your dad's ears. If she hadn't been doing bad things around your dad, would your dad have treated me like this? I don't know what I did wrong in my last life that I owed her, and I have to pay it back in this life." Ding Jiayi stomped her feet. She could feel that Lao Qiao had been treating her very well recently. She thought she could keep Lao Qiao here today.
"Why does it sound like Dad's tone is not right? Mom, let me ask you again, you didn't do anything bad to Qiao Nan this semester, did you?" After Qiao Zijin took a sip of water, her dry throat felt much better.
"No, no! With your dad's attitude, how dare I? Your dad has already moved out with Qiao Nan. If I dare to do anything bad again, I'm not afraid that your dad will divorce me for that damn girl. I can't do such a stupid thing as to sacrifice my marriage with your dad just to deal with that damn girl."
Just because she doesn't want this daughter doesn't mean she doesn't want her husband either.
On the contrary, she not only wants a husband, but also wants to spend the rest of her life with Lao Qiao and his wife.
Even if she couldn't bear Qiao Nan for Lao Qiao, she would still endure it.
"..." Qiao Zijin frowned. She asked her mother several times and she always got the same answer. To know if it was true, maybe she should find a chance to ask Qiao Nan or her father next time.
"Okay, Dad has left, Mom, you should go to bed quickly too. If you really want to keep Dad, there is no need to rush now. Isn't New Year's Eve a good opportunity? Then, Dad can't use Qiao Nan as an excuse to leave. But Mom, you should also be more sensible. Don't make Dad angry because you don't like Nan Nan and don't do things nicely. Qiao Nan has a bad temper. If you do something wrong, Qiao Nan will definitely not control her temper and will immediately turn your face away and leave. You couldn't keep my dad that night, it was your own fault."
If you want to deal with Qiao Nan and make his life miserable, you have to do it in due time.
