Chapter 226 - 230

Start from the beginning
                                    

She could not sacrifice her happiness for her heartless sister, Qiao Nan. She was not worth it at all!

“Mom! Don’t hesitate anymore. If this is discovered by others, it will not take long before everyone in Ping Cheng knows that we have a thief in our house and that I am the sister of the said thief. Qiao Nan is careless and foolish. She even dared to offend the Zhai family. Mom, I don’t want to be dragged down by Qiao Nan. I don’t want to end up having to leave the quad and Ping Cheng. Mom!!”

Ding Jiayi was flustered and out of her wits at Qiao Zijin’s constant coaxing. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, “Qiao Nan created troubles for herself. There is no reason for our family to suffer with her. Zijin, rest assured. Mom will never let Qiao Nan ruin you.”

“Mom, although Qiao Nan’s English is good, could she possibly earn three hundred yuan with only a few days of hard work? Mom, do you think that the three hundred yuan Qiao Nan had…” It was no wonder that Qiao Nan refused her suggestion when Qiao Zijin said that she wanted to take up the translation job as well. The money could have been stolen as well. It was not Qiao Nan’s hard-earned money!

“Don’t bring it up. I have the same sentiments too. This wretched girl, I can’t wait to take a knife and chop off both her hands. Why must she steal? She is so shameless!”

“Mom, you have to be composed. Do not give yourself away in front of Qiao Nan later. You must not let Dad find out about your plan. Dad is biased toward Qiao Nan. He is confounded, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and he would side with her. He may even take the rap for Qiao Nan and blame it on us as well. Besides, Qiao Nan is very smart. If she notices anything amiss, she will make arrangements in advance. We may end up being her scapegoats.” Qiao Zijin took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

This time, it was Qiao Nan who did herself in. She had nothing to do with it.

From tomorrow onward, everyone would only remember that Qiao Zijin, the elder daughter of the Qiao family, had good character and good looks, whereas Qiao Nan would be remembered as the shame and blemish in their family and the quad.

“She will not dare to do that!” Ding Jiayi widened her eyes, baring her teeth.

“Qiao Nan has not been close with both of us. We don’t know what things she is capable of doing in order to protect herself. There’s the saying that goes ‘Every man for himself’, isn’t there? Qiao Nan did not think about our interests when she did all these. Anyway, we must be careful, lest Qiao Nan finds out about our plan.”

If Qiao Nan noticed anything amiss and destroyed all the evidence, all their efforts would be wasted.

“You are right. Since she dared to do those sneaky things, it goes to show that she is heartless and no longer treats us as her family or consider our interests. We must be careful.”


Chapter 227: Sever Ties

“We must not let her push all the blame to us.” Ding Jiayi sighed in exasperation. She must stay composed and calm.

She must not let Qiao Nan, that wretched girl, pushed the blame onto both of them, particularly Zijin!

“When the truth is out tomorrow, I shall see what your dad has to say. In order to side with that wretched girl, your dad had let me down and he also wanted to… It’s time to give your dad a lesson. We must let him know Qiao Nan’s true colors. Right now, your dad is muddleheaded. He can’t tell who his family is and who the outsider is. He is so foolish!”

“Mom, don’t be angry. Dad believes in Qiao Nan as she is good at coaxing him. Qiao Nan is very smart. She may be quiet and nerdy, but she can easily manipulate Dad with her words. When Dad realizes the truth, he will know who is genuinely good to him in this family. By that time, Dad will reunite with you. Mom, don’t be foolish then as you will only push Dad toward Qiao Nan otherwise. I finally realized that though Qiao Nan is a person with few words, she is good at coaxing people. Look at what happened when Dad was hospitalized. Qiao Nan always waited on Dad diligently. She’s doing a ‘good job’ at putting up pretenses.”
