Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

1090 She Owed Me In The First Place

Qiao Zijin turned green at how calculative Qiao Dongliang was. “Dad, we are one family. The three of us are Nan Nan’s only relatives in this world. What’s wrong if our family of four help each other to lead a good life? Didn’t you say in the past that Nan Nan and I must help each other? If I do better in life and Nan Nan is bullied in the Zhai family, I will be able to stand up for her.”

“It’s really rare that you are so reasonable and sensible.” Qiao Dongliang sighed. “I have taught you for the past twenty-three years, but you won’t listen to me. Chen Jun is more capable than me. The two of you have been together for less than a year and you have learned to say these words. Perhaps the two of you are meant for each other.”

Qiao Dongliang had no idea and did not wish to know whether Qiao Zijin really meant what she said.

Qiao Dongliang must hand it to Chen Jun to teach someone who was blunt and would not hide her ambitions to become someone who was skilled at masking her emotions and to act sensibly.

All these years, it was impossible for Qiao Dongliang not to have known how his elder daughter was like.

Qiao Zijin was indeed Ding Jiayi’s daughter. In the past, Ding Jiayi would stand up for her, so there was no need for Qiao Zijin to fight for her rights. It gave people the impression that Ding Jiayi was unreasonable while Qiao Zijin was a good and well-behaved child.

Without Ding Jiayi around to stand up for her and fight for her interests, one could easily tell what was going on in Qiao Zijin’s mind.

Qiao Zijin blushed. “Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? I-I didn’t...”

Qiao Dongliang spoke as he walked on the way home. “You should know very well whether you are guilty of these character faults. If not for the fact that you insist on being with Chen Jun, I would never agree to it. Silly girl, everyone in the Chen family is scheming and not that easy to deal with. You will definitely suffer in the future.”

Qiao Zijin refused to admit defeat. “Dad, don’t you want me to do well in life?”

Zhai Sheng and the Zhai family treated Qiao Nan very well, particularly Madam Zhai. She treated Qiao Nan like her own daughter.

Why was it that Qiao Nan could have such a blessed life but she couldn’t?

“It is alright that you said these spiteful words to me. I am your dad. I won’t stay angry with you for long. But the most important thing is don’t lie to yourself. Do I not wish the best for you or is it that the path that you have taken is destined to be a difficult road? You should give it a serious thought. Why is Chen Jun willing to be with you? I believe you know the reason as well. If the Chen family does not get what they are after, what will happen to you then? Shouldn’t you give it a serious thought?”

In the past, Qiao Dongliang would be fuming mad at Qiao Zijin’s insensible words.

Now, perhaps due to Qiao Nan’s influence, he could no longer be bothered to stay angry with Qiao Zijin.

Nan Nan was angry at him because of Zijin and had resorted to ignoring her father.

If he lost his younger daughter’s love and the elder daughter insisted on her stubborn ways, he would have failed terribly as a person in this life.

To prove that what he had been doing was right, even if he knew that it was not easy to take Qiao Zijin in hand, Qiao Dongliang had no other choice but to continue on this muddy and thorn-filled path.

Qiao Zijin was silent. “Will Qiao Nan really not help me if Chen Jun bullies me? I am her only sister.”

Qiao Zijin knew that Chen Jun had a hidden agenda. However, Qiao Zijin was after his good looks, his family background, and the fact that he graduated from a well-known university. Both of them did not have the purest intentions.

Chen Jun might have the upper hand, but she was not without any good cards. Qiao Nan was her sister and Zhai Sheng was her brother-in-law!

Qiao Dongliang hunched his back at Qiao Zijin’s words. “Zijin, you didn’t treat Nan Nan as your family when you bullied her. You treated her worse than an outsider. It is only when you want her to help you will you remember that she is your family and that she should not leave you in the lurch. Zijin, Nan Nan is not your mom or your dad. She will not tolerate your unreasonable behavior. She does not have any obligation toward you.”

Qiao Dongliang wanted to tell Qiao Zijin that there would not be such a good deal in this world.

Qiao Zijin gritted her teeth. “Other people may not have this obligation, but Qiao Nan has. She owes me!”

“What do you mean? Why do you say that?” This was the first time that Qiao Zijin said this. “Why do you feel that Qiao Nan has to help you after you bullied her? When did she owe you? What did she owe you?”

Since this was the first time that Qiao Zijin brought this up, Qiao Dongliang wanted to find out what was on her mind.

Qiao Zijin twitched the corners of her lips, a cold and ironic smile on her face. “You and Mom might not have any memory of this. When she was pregnant with Qiao Nan, I was only three years old. Who would have thought that a three-year-old child could remember what happened so clearly? At that time, you and Mom thought that the second child must be a boy. When you were not at home, Mom nagged at me every day, saying that when my brother was born, I must be good to him. I must protect him so that he would not be bullied by others. When I grew up, I had to start work as early as possible to earn money so that he could go to school. I must marry a good man so that I could help my brother...”

Her mother used to nag at her to help Qiao Nan. She had to make sure that Qiao Nan did what her mother used to tell her!

Fortunately, the child was not a boy but a girl.

Qiao Zijin also had no idea how a young kid like her managed to remember what happened back then.

She did not have any memories of her childhood except for the sight of her mother touching her bulging stomach with love and affection. She sat near the door under the sun, talking to herself. However, Qiao Zijin heard everything and remembered it for the rest of her life!

She had to quit school and work once Qiao Nan was born?

Fine, she would make sure that it was Qiao Nan who quit school and worked to provide for her school fees!

“Dad, you may not have known. The ten months that Mom was pregnant with Qiao Nan was the hardest period of my life. Mom had a piece of cloth that she intended to use to make a dress for me. In the end, she said that she would use it as Nan Nan’s diapers. Mom forbade me from touching her and she pushed me such that I fell onto the floor and scraped my palm. Five years ago, you felt sorry that Mom did not provide good food for Qiao Nan, causing her to be malnourished. But do you know that when I was three years old, I never had a full meal and I used to starve like Qiao Nan?”

Toward the end, Qiao Zijin stared at Qiao Dongliang, who had turned around to face her. “Dad, I do not owe Qiao Nan. It is Qiao Nan who owes me.”
