Chapter 348: Draw a clear line
"Dad, you are different from me. You always think that my sister can still be a good daughter. But she will never be a good sister to me. Dad, don't worry about the relationship between me and my sister anymore."
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 see that she is good and will cling to her and suck her blood before she has the ability. If she refuses, her father will adjust the relationship between her and Qiao Zijin based on her weak mentality.
Thinking about the relationship between herself and Zhai Sheng that had just been confirmed this morning, Qiao Nan had to be more cautious.
"Nannan, you and your sister?" Does this mean they are planning to never have any contact with each other again? Does Nannan no longer want to acknowledge Zijin as her sister?
"Dad, what I can say is that my sister is too cunning. Yes, she is my sister, but she doesn't always plot against me and harm me. It doesn't make sense for me to always be nice to her, help her, and support her. I won't begrudge my sister being better than me, but at least I won't begrudge my sister being better than me. Because of our blood relationship, as long as my sister doesn't mess with me, I will definitely not do anything to her."
Qiao Dongliang clenched his fists and placed them on his knees, not knowing what to do: "But what if you treat your sister well 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 darkened. She was particularly reluctant to answer Qiao Dongliang's question.
She has been good to her sister all her life, but her sister not only did not wake up, but became even more aggressive. Qiao Zijin's heart cannot be warmed.
"Dad, is it because I am more sensible than my sister that I must be the one who gives in and tolerates when my sister makes a mistake, and my sister can continue to be selfish and willful? Yes, she is my only sister, but I am also her only sister. Why can she do this to me and plot against me, but I have to cling to her? Why? What if my sister can't wake up, do I have to sacrifice my whole life to cling to her, to influence her, and to take care of her?"
Qiao Dongliang shook his head quickly: "No, no matter how ignorant your sister is, she can't be like this for her whole life..."
"Then when will my sister become sensible, Dad, can you understand? My sister is immature now, she just doesn't want me to study. In the future, I will find a boyfriend who is better than my sister. What will you and my sister do? Should I break up with my boyfriend for my sister and not get married, or find a man who is a little worse than my sister's boyfriend to satisfy my sister's desire to surpass him? My sister's life is perfect, Dad, but what about mine? She has you and mom pampering her 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 and treat her well. It doesn't matter. I won't fight for it. Without you and mom, I want to be good to myself. Is that okay?" In the end, Qiao Nan's tone was full of bitterness. Aren't her demands low enough?
"Nannan, are you really sure that you and your sister are going to go this far? Maybe, we can set a time for your sister. If she hasn't changed by that time, you can just ignore her?" Qiao Dongliang gritted his teeth. He 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 date? Dad, then when do you want to set it? My sister is already an adult, and in another year, she will be twenty. Should you and I set it when she is thirty, forty, or fifty?"
In her whole life, there are only a few years in total. Qiao Zijin has almost completed a quarter of her life. Why does she still need to set a time for Qiao Zijin?
"Dad, you are my sister's biological father, you won't 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 can't guarantee that my sister will ever be a better person in her life. Dad, I can't afford the gamble." She didn't want to gamble anymore, she had been gambled all her life!
"Nannan, are you ready to draw a clear line between you and your sister?"
"On New Year's Eve, my sister forced me to leave the Qiao family compound. Shouldn't I draw a clear line between us and stay here to celebrate the New Year?" Qiao Nan replied helplessly.
Qiao Dongliang rubbed his face vigorously. Although his two daughters were still in school, he had the illusion that they had grown up and were about to leave home.
The daughter has really grown up and has her own thoughts, but her father knows nothing 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 live your life with a clear conscience, Dad won't say much about anything else."
He has no qualifications or reasons to let Nan Nan support Zi Jin for his whole life, and Nan Nan has no such obligation to Zi Jin.
If Nan Nan is willing, that is Nan Nan's love for Zi Jin. If Nan Nan is not willing, that is her duty.
Thinking back then, in order to marry him and find the life she wanted, Ding Jiayi cut off all ties with her parents' family. In the past twenty years, Ding Jiayi has never been home to visit. Qiao Dongliang could especially understand why Qiao Zijin and Qiao Nan were so decisive in doing things, especially when it came to family affection, and not like him, hesitant.
The three of them are exactly alike.
He, the head of the family, has long been dead in name only.
The three women in the Qiao family have their own ideas and are not something he can control.
My wife doesn’t listen, and my eldest daughter can’t be controlled.
Qiao Dongliang knew that he couldn't just pick on the weak and bully Nan Nan because she was the best-tempered one among the three children, so he just asked Nan Nan to make as many sacrifices as possible for the family.
Unless he had the ability to make Ding Jiayi and Zijin change, Qiao Dongliang knew that he really didn't have the nerve 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.
"This thank you makes Dad ashamed. In this family, it seems that this is all Dad can do for you. Your mom and your sister have bigger ideas than each other, and their tempers are more stubborn than each other. I don't even have the face to mention the things they did in front of you. It's because I couldn't figure it out that I said those confused words to you just now. Nannan, don't take it to heart. From now on, do whatever you want. Dad won't care." Qiao Dongliang shook his hands dejectedly, and his drooped shoulders made him look like he had aged five years in an instant.
