When it came to implementation, Ding Jiayi would only dare to do that to Qiao Nan if she and Qiao Zijin had been forced to desperate ends and after she had downed more than ten bottles of alcohol.

  On the contrary, Qiao Nan had many people on her side.

  If anything were to happen to Qiao Zijin and her, although China was governed by law, most likely, Qiao Nan would not be investigated. Qiao Zijin and her life would have been lost in vain then.

  “Is that so?” Qiao Nan’s lips trembled a little. She exchanged the grief that was hidden deep beneath her eyes with a murderous aura. “It’s such a pity. After I attended college, I was studying hard and did not have any time to watch television shows. What I have told you earlier is not an actor’s scripts. I am serious.”

  “What do you want?!” Ding Jiayi was both angry and anxious. “Zhai Sheng is a soldier. If you dare to do anything rash, will the Zhai family still want you? Don’t make yourself lose out in the end.” The important thing was to not cause Zijin any harm!

  “As to what I will do…… the decision lies with you. ” Qiao Nan placed that wisp of hair on the coffee table. “If you want the situation to become more severe, you can continue to stay here and be an eyesore. Otherwise, quickly scram!”

  She was not going to hide or avoid it anymore.

  She was already twenty years old and had reached adulthood. She should be hardhearted and protect herself in her own ways.

  “If I leave now, you won’t touch a strand of your sister’s hair?” Ding Jiayi did not feel at ease.

  Qiao Nan smirked. “I have already said. What you did to me, I will do the same to your precious daughter.” Qiao Nan glanced at the wisp of hair on the coffee table then touched her aching back as well as the face that had been given a few slaps by Ding Jiayi.

  “You can’t……” Ding Jiayi was feeling scared and nervous now.

  “If you don’t leave in one minute…… I heard that it was a popular practice to shave half of one’s hair in the 1960s and 1970s. Qiao Zijin is so pretty and outstanding. I believe she will be more outstanding and remarkable with such a hairstyle.”

  Ding Jiayi clutched onto her clothing nervously. This wretched girl was really going to take action on Zijin. She was not going to let it go. “I’m the one who hit you. I’m also the one who pulled your hair. You can target me if you want to do anything!”

  “You still have thirty seconds.”

  If Ding Jiayi was not her biological mother, she would definitely do that.

  However, heaven had to give them such a relationship. She could not do anything to her biological mother. Nevertheless, if she did anything to her biological sister, her name would not be as bad and she would be charged with a lighter sentence.

  \r \r \r

  “I…… I promise that I won’t be fierce to you or scold you anymore. I…… I will pray to you like you are Buddha. Will that do?”

  “Fifteen seconds.”

  “Please!”

  “Ten seconds.”

  “You……”

  “Nine, eight, seven……”

  At the sound of a shuffle, Ding Jiayi, whose face was as white as a sheet, ran and stumbled toward the exit with wobbly legs. She was so afraid that she would hear Qiao Nan’s demon-like voice counting to ‘one’.

  Shaved hair?

  If Zijin really had such a hairstyle, she would not want to continue with her studies then!

  Upon hearing the sound of the door closing after Ding Jiayi’s departure, Qiao Nan let out a long sigh of exasperation. She then smiled blankly. “No wonder there are so many baddies in the world. It feels great to be a baddie. After all, it feels better to bully others than to be bullied.”

  After smiling, Qiao Nan started to feel hate. She dared not hate heaven. She could only hate her life.

  She really could not understand why she would have a mother like Ding Jiayi.

  Ding Jiayi actually said earlier that she had to give up her happiness in order to pay her back the life. This was just because she had given birth to her!!!

  If she had a choice, Qiao Nan really did not want to waste her energy on Qiao Zijin. She wanted more to take revenge on Ding Jiayi for all the unfair treatment that she had suffered.

  However, Qiao Nan was aware of something. Even if she shaved Ding Jiayi’s head, Ding Jiayi would neither feel sad nor shameful. On the contrary, on the next day, she would announce to everyone with a bald head that her own younger daughter was the one who shaved her head.

  The difference was that if she were to touch a strand of Qiao Zijin’s hair and make Qiao Zijin cry, Ding Jiayi would feel her heart bleed, as if it had been pierced by a knife.

  Since that was the case, she was more willing to waste her energy on Qiao Zijin and make Ding Jiayi feel the pinch.

  “Nan Nan? After receiving Qiao Dongliang’s phone call, informing him that he would be working overtime, Zhai Sheng drove to the small courtyard. He had knocked on the door of the entrance a few times but there had been no response.

  Certainly, Qiao Nan had not gone back to school. In addition, there was no response when he knocked on the door. Zhai Sheng looked around, took off his gloves, and did something that he was familiar with—professional wall climbing!

  After entering the small courtyard, Zhai Sheng discovered that the door inside was opened. Most importantly, Zhai Sheng could faintly smell a tinge of alcohol in the air.

  His father-in-law was working overtime and would not be home tonight. That was the reason he asked Zhai Sheng to make a trip to fetch Nan Nan to the house of the Zhai family. Why was there a smell of alcohol in the house?

  Nan Nan did not have the habit of drinking.

  Zhai Sheng walked inside. After he went in, the smell of alcohol in the air became stronger.

  He could hear some movement in the house. Next, he heard the sound of the glass bottles knocking into each other. A bottle of wine then rolled and bumped onto the side of his shoe.

  Zhai Sheng knitted his brows. He picked up the bottle and placed it upright in case someone were to trip on it. “Nan Nan?”

  He saw Qiao Nan slumping pitifully on the coffee table. There was a cloudy look in her eyes and her cheeks were reddish. There was a flash of worry in Zhai Sheng’s eyes. “Nan Nan, what happened to you? Why did you drink?”

  After knowing Nan Nan for so long, this was the first time that Nan Nan drank in front of him.

  “Wine?” Qiao Nan stammered. Her eyes looked distracted as she raised her hands clumsily. “Right. My…… my wine. My wine.”

  Although Qiao Zijin had decided to be harsh on Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, she had been tortured by these two women for two lifetimes. She really could not describe the pain and bitterness in her heart.

  Qiao Dongliang had the habit of drinking a little. In addition, he was a nice person. Even if he did not have relatives, he had some friends and neighbors in the quad who would visit them occasionally.

  Due to that, Qiao Nan was able to find those bottles of wine.

  Qiao Nan did not have the habit of drinking. First, it was a luxury item to Qiao Nan. She dared not even fall sick, let alone spend a big sum of money to become drunk under the influence of alcohol. Second, she always felt that alcohol tasted bitter. Even if it was grape wine, she could not stand that slightly bitter taste of it.

  However, regardless of how bitter the wine tasted, it could not be compared to the bitterness in her heart.

  Qiao Nan was thinking if she could subdue the bitterness in her heart with the bitter taste of the wine.

  Without her knowing, Qiao Nan had finished more than one bottle of white wine and beer.

  “Why did you drink?” After taking away the bottle that was half-filled with wine from Qiao Nan’s hands, Zhai Sheng’s face turned sullen. He quickly checked on Qiao Nan.

  In the eyes of everyone, Qiao Nan was an obedient child. She did not engage in puppy love and did not smoke or drink.

  For people who did not know how to drink, it was possible that one might need to be sent to the hospital due to acute alcohol poisoning after consuming a bottle of white spirit, let alone a few bottles of alcohol.
