1091 My Conscience Is Clear
"No matter what kind of treatment Qiao Nan receives, I don't think I am in the wrong."
Was Qiao Nan pitiful?
Of course not!
She had also endured all of Qiao Nan's suffering before!
Qiao Nan had already grown up when she suffered from such treatment. However, she was only three years old! Three years old!
There was hatred in Qiao Zijin's heart. This hatred had never subsided. On the contrary, it grew with each passing day.
Now, Qiao Nan was more outstanding, exemplary, and dazzling than her. Qiao Zijin's hatred toward Qiao Nan became increasingly deeper.
She felt that Qiao Nan was provoking and causing her unhappiness despite having not paid back what she had owed!
In that case, she could not be blamed for not treating Qiao Nan as a sister. When Qiao Nan was of use to her, she would acknowledge that they were biological sisters. When Qiao Nan was not of any use to her, she would trample on Qiao Nan more viciously than anyone else.
She had a clear conscience!
"You..." Never did Qiao Dongliang expect that the conflict between his elder and younger daughters was created by Ding Jiayi. Moreover, there was such inside information as to why his elder daughter behaved willfully toward his younger one."Alright, even if what you have said is true, is Nan Nan the one who did all those things and made you suffer during that time? Did Nan Nan instigate your mom to do that? You should know that your mom is the biased one. Your mom is the one that caused all these. Nan Nan is still in your mom's womb. She did not even utter a word, let alone do anything. Zijin, you are angry, but the person that you should resent is your mom and not Nan Nan!"
Qiao Zijin felt that she was not in the wrong. However, to Qiao Dongliang, Qiao Zijin was very wrong, and ridiculously wrong.
When Qiao Nan was still in Ding Jiayi's womb, Qiao Nan could not participate in anything that Ding Jiayi did to Qiao Zijin. She was not even aware of it then.
However, in contrast, Qiao Zijin certainly had something to do with the sufferings that Qiao Nan had endured after the latter grew up.
At this point, Qiao Dongliang had a moment of realization of why Ding Jiayi was so biased against and did not dote on Qiao Nan.
In particular, there was no doubt that Qiao Zijin's earlier words proved only one point—Qiao Zijin wanted to take revenge on Qiao Nan.
She wanted to take revenge on Qiao Nan for all that she had suffered when she was three years old.
As such, Qiao Zijin was most probably the mastermind for all those distasteful behaviors that Ding Jiayi did to Qiao Nan.
"If you are angry, you can vent it on your mom. She is the one who didn't let you eat, made you quit school and earn money to support your younger brother financially. Your mom is the one who did everything. Nan Nan did not even utter a word. Zijin, I am extremely disappointed in you."
"No one can deny that Mom would not do that to me if Nan Nan did not exist." Qiao Zijin was very stubborn. She refused to take the view that Qiao Nan was the innocent party.
Qiao Dongliang was both angry and amused."So as to speak, the people that you should blame are not Nan Nan but your mom and I. If I am not together with your mom, will your mom be pregnant with Nan Nan? Nan Nan did not come out of her own accord. She was created by your mom and me. If you consider that, you should be venting your anger on your mom and me."
Initially, Qiao Zijin was already a grown-up lady and she even had a boyfriend. The parents of both families had also met and were in marriage talks. Qiao Dongliang, this father, should not discuss such a censored topic with Qiao Zijin, this elder daughter.
The problem was that he had been infuriated by Qiao Zijin. He felt that Qiao Zijin's high-sounding and dignified reasons were ludicrous.
Looking at his stubborn elder daughter who refused to admit her wrong, Qiao Dongliang said listlessly, "After talking for so long, there is only one reason why you put all the blame on Nan Nan and refuse to mention your mom and me. You bully the weak and fear the strong. You know that you need to rely on your mom and me to grow up. You know that you have to depend on your mom and me in order to stick to, derive benefit, and gain power from Nan Nan. Without us, the sibling relationship between the two of you will exist in name only."
Regardless of how Zijin harmed Nan Nan, Zijin could always tap on Old Ding and him to continue to exploit and derive gains from Nan Nan, as long as they were still alive.
Otherwise, it would mean that after Nan Nan's life had turned good, she was unwilling to bother about her poor relatives. She could watch on as her biological parents die.
On the contrary, if both he and Old Ding were to disown Zijin, Nan Nan could decline Zijin when the latter wished to derive any benefit from her. If he and Old Ding did not put in any good words for Zijin, no one could reprimand Nan Nan for her doings.
Zijin wanted to make full use of the two words 'filial piety' to suppress Nan Nan from the highest point of morality.
She was fearless in dealing with Nan Nan when she had Old Ding and him as her backings.
To put it bluntly, Nan Nan was a tool that Zijin wanted to obtain in life, whereas he and Old Ding were pawns that could fulfill Zijin's wish of a good life.
Qiao Dongliang had the intent to help Qiao Zijin and let go of Qiao Nan. He wanted to spend more time and effort on the disappointing Qiao Zijin so that the latter could also lead a good life.
However, Qiao Dongliang hesitated and regretted after he found out that Qiao Zijin was truly such a cold and heartless person.
In the family of four, Qiao Zijin only paid attention to, cared about, and loved herself. The remaining three of her closest kin were just tools that she could make use of to achieve happiness.
He had given up on a filial and smart daughter for the sake of an individual who was selfish to the extreme. Qiao Dongliang was at a total loss now.
Qiao Zijin bit her lips. This was because Qiao Dongliang's words had hit the nail.
Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang were the reason that Qiao Zijin could haunt Qiao Nan endlessly for life like a resentful ghost. Wasn't that so?
Of course, Qiao Zijin had to act like a goody-two-shoes in front of Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi because of this reason.
Ding Jiayi was completely in Qiao Zijin's clutches. Qiao Dongliang was her only variable factor.
However, Qiao Zijin was overjoyed that her father was actually willing to have a change of heart at the end of last year. Besides doting on Qiao Nan, he was willing to turn back and take more care of her.
This change made Qiao Zijin ecstatic.
It was not because of other reasons. It was because if she were to make any request to Qiao Nan in the future, she could then tell Qiao Nan that she had been the only one taking care of their parents since Qiao Nan was always not at home.
Her parents' lives would only be good if her life was.
If Qiao Nan refused to help, it would not just impact her life but also that of their parents.
Having secured double bargaining chips, Qiao Zijin also wished to help the Chen family achieve greater heights in their career after she was married to Chen Jun. She was very determined to become the wife that the Chen Jun doted on.
Today, Qiao Dongliang had exposed everything. How could Qiao Zijin keep a straight face in front of an impending major disaster?
Qiao Zijin, who was filled with guilty-conscience, dared not even look at Qiao Dongliang in the eye.
No matter what Qiao Zijin did to Ding Jiayi, the latter would always stay by Qiao Zijin's side unconditionally. Hence, she was not afraid that Ding Jiayi would abandon her. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣noνℯ𝘭 - 🅽🅽novel
Qiao Dongliang was different. That was because Qiao Dongliang had already abandoned her once because of Qiao Nan.
Qiao Dongliang was enraged now. Qiao Zijin immediately turned honest and abiding in front of Qiao Dongliang.
