  Once she knew where her dad was living, would he still be able to run away from her?

  Luggage? That wasn’t important at all.

  Of course, Qiao Dongliang could tell that Qiao Zijin wanted to take advantage of him, but he had no idea how to shake Qiao Zijin off. Based on what had happened earlier, Qiao Dongliang could guess that Qiao Zijin wanted to move in with him so that she would have a place to stay. That didn’t mean much. He believed that Qiao Nan and the Zhai family wouldn’t mind that.

  But what would happen if Qiao Zijin wanted to tag along every time he visited Qiao Nan in the future? He had only had a suspicion earlier, but now, Qiao Dongliang was certain that Qiao Zijin had not come to the capital for a holiday. She had come for Qiao Nan!

  “Let me ask you. What were you trying to do in front of Zhai Sheng?” Qiao Dongliang was upset and picked on Qiao Zijin’s earlier behavior. “Have you forgotten why Chen Jun asked for a divorce in the first place? Have you not changed that bad habit of yours? I don’t care if you want to play around, but you have to remember that Zhai Sheng is your brother-in-law!”

  \r \r \r

  At the mention of the word ‘brother-in-law’, Qiao Dongliang felt enraged. So what if he was her brother-in-law? It was not as though Qiao Zijin had not snatched her brother-in-law away from her sister before! That was why Qiao Dongliang felt especially miserable thinking of that.

  “Dad, what nonsense are you spouting? You’d better not mention this in front of Nan Nan in case you provoke her and she misunderstands me. Didn’t you say that Zhai Sheng is my brother-in-law? Besides, what did I do wrong today?” Qiao Zijin denied everything. She had not even made a move yet. At least, she had not even touched a strand of Zhai Sheng’s hair today. What right did he have to say that she had gone out of line?

  Zhai Sheng was the only man in her eyes now. She couldn’t even be bothered to have anything to do with any other men or do anything that would ruin her happiness in the future. Would she do such a stupid thing?

  “That had better be the case. Zijin, you’d better not be scheming against Nan Nan. If I find out, you’ll realize that I still have the energy and capability to deal with my own daughter even at this age. I’m not saying certain things not for the sake of your dignity, but because it’s too shameful to talk about it. It’s enough that you snatched Chen Jun away once. I don’t want to know whether you have that plan in mind again, but you’d better keep your distance from Zhai Sheng.”

  He could not stand how Qiao Zijin was always trying to steal his younger daughter’s man.

  “Dad, look at what you’re saying. I never even thought of doing that.” Qiao Zijin’s eyelid twitched. It was the right move not to tell her dad about her plan. Her dad was really something. He was so biased that he only had Qiao Nan in his heart. He didn’t even remember his elder daughter.

  Thankfully, she had never counted on her dad helping her out in this matter. She would simply stick to her original plan and keep it tightly under wraps until she succeeded. Once Qiao Nan died and everything was firmed up, there was nothing her dad would be able to do no matter how upset he was.

  Having made up her mind, Qiao Zijin assured her dad that she would never do something immoral again. She listened to whatever Qiao Dongliang had to say. But when Qiao Dongliang asked Qiao Zijin to return to Ping Cheng, she refused.

  Qiao Nan hated her so much. She would definitely never come up with the idea of Qiao Zijin taking care of her children. That was why she had to stay behind and remind Qiao Nan of that possibility when she was on the verge of death.

  Once she married Zhai Sheng, Zhai Sheng would still be the Qiao family’s son-in-law. Her dad was foolish indeed. How could he not realize that? If Qiao Nan died, Zhai Sheng would have nothing to do with the Qiao family in the future. It was just like her situation with the Chen family after her divorce from Chen Jun.

  Because Qiao Zijin was being so shameless, Qiao Dongliang could not bring himself to drive Qiao Zijin out either. In the end, not only had Qiao Zijin found out about where Qiao Dongliang was staying, but she had even checked out of the hotel and brought her luggage to Qiao Dongliang’s accommodation.

  Seeing that Qiao Dongliang was indeed living in a studio with only one bedroom and one bed, Qiao Zijin immediately went to purchase a foldable bed. If this had been Ding Jiayi, Qiao Zijin would definitely have gotten Ding Jiayi to sleep on the foldable bed so that she could have the bedroom to herself. But this was Qiao Dongliang and not Ding Jiayi. Qiao Zijin had only managed to move in because of how shameless she had been. Qiao Zijin dared not chase Qiao Dongliang out of the bedroom to the foldable bed.

  She didn’t own this house. What would happen if Qiao Dongliang chased her out?

  Qiao Dongliang had more say in this house. Besides, she would have to suck up to Qiao Dongliang in order to remain in the capital. “Dad, since I’m already here, I decided to make full use of my ticket here. I’ll be staying here for quite a while. You know the Zhai family’s situation as well. Nan Nan’s mother-in-law is old and you can’t expect her to take care of Nan Nan given her health conditions, right? As for that auntie in the Zhai family, she’s still a hired help, after all. We can’t count on her. As for Zhai Hua, she’s still in Ping Cheng because of her daughter. I guess I’m the only one who will be able to help Nan Nan out.”

  “Heh…” Qiao Dongliang sneered. “Ever since you were young, you were spoiled and pampered by your mom and Nan Nan was the one taking care of you. Since when have you taken care of anyone else?” Qiao Dongliang wondered if Qiao Zijin had even taken care of her own son, Chen Feng.

  How could Qiao Dongliang allow someone like that to take care of Qiao Nan?

  Who dared to be so bold?

  “Dad, don’t underestimate me. It was just that I didn’t want to do it in the past. There’s nothing that I can’t do if I set my mind to it.” Qiao Zijin was indignant. She had always been smarter than Qiao Nan and more likable than Qiao Nan. What Qiao Nan could do, she could do better. Her dad was indeed biased. She would have to persevere and prove her father wrong. Did her dad really think that she was so much worse than Qiao Nan and couldn’t even compare to her?

  Qiao Dongliang laughed…… “Are you saying that your results are good? Nan Nan didn’t even graduate from high school, but she managed to pass the Level Six English proficiency test. However, all you could do was hand in a blank piece of paper to me?”
