Chapter 1089 - Knew What Was Going On

1089 Knew What Was Going On Qiao Nan was dressed in such a beautiful dress. Qiao Zijin felt that the dress that the bridesmaid wore would be beautiful as well.

Since it was a bridesmaid’s dress, Qiao Nan could not possibly take it back after the ceremony. In that case, she would have another beautiful dress.
Qiao Zijin was not only after the bride price, but she was also coveting the red packet that bridesmaid would have.
Since she was Qiao Nan’s sister, the money should go to her.

Thank you for your concern. Regarding this issue, my godfather has arranged it for me. Dad, be sure to enjoy the food tomorrow. You don’t have to worry about anything.
Qiao Nan gave a polite and distant smile.
Bridesmaid?
She would ask anyone but Qiao Zijin to be her bridesmaid. She would not want any ‘surprises’ during her wedding or for her wedding to be ruined.
Besides, she had Shi Qing with her. She would definitely choose Shi Qing over Qiao Zijin.
She must be kidding!
Qiao Dongliang felt as if he was stabbed in his heart by Qiao Nan’s distant smile.
Alright, I will leave with Zijin. Nan Nan, you must be happy.


Dad, I will. I will definitely be happy. Brother Zhai will be very good to me. In the future, you don’t have to worry about me anymore.
After she married Brother Zhai, her father could do as he pleased and take care of Qiao Zijin, and to ensure that she would be happily married.
Qiao Nan did not finish her sentence, but her gaze rested on Qiao Zijin.
Qiao Nan had made it very obvious. Qiao Dongliang felt embarrassed. He could not deny that he indeed was more concerned and worried for his elder daughter, Qiao Zijin. He could only avoid her steady gaze and leave the Zhu family’s residence as quickly as possible.

Dad, what are you doing? Why don’t you let me finish my sentence?

As soon as they came out from the Zhu family’s residence, Qiao Dongliang released his grip on Qiao Zijin and she broke free from him.
You should not pamper your daughter to this extent. Nan Nan is young. She is still insensible. We are her family. We have to make things clear to her and for her to see the truth. Do you know what you are doing is harming her?

It was not easy for them to raise Qiao Nan until she was twenty-one years old.
They had to provide for her daily expenses as well as her school fees. The Qiao family had spent a lot of money and effort on her.
Nothing comes free in this world. The Zhai family was too shameless. They refused to pay the bride price but wanted to marry a university student!
Qiao Dongliang shot cold stares at Qiao Zijin.
Nan Nan said no, so be it. Now that she did not ask for the bride price, whether she has a good life or not at the Zhai family is totally her business. It has nothing to do with us. As I have said, I respect Nan Nan’s decision. She will have to bear responsibility for her decision. There is no need for you to be worried for her. Also, let me remind you. Don’t think of entering the Zhu family’s residence without me.

Qiao Zijin gritted her teeth.
Dad, what do you mean by this? Now that Nan Nan is getting married, does it mean that she is no longer your daughter or my sister?


Yes, you can put it that way.
Qiao Dongliang put his hands on his waist and walked slowly back to the Qiao family’s residence.
The person whom Qiao Nan married was Zhai Sheng. Even if the Zhai family bullied Nan Nan, given his ability, he would not be able to seek justice for her.
Since he could not help Nan Nan, he must make sure that the Qiao family did not make things difficult for Nan Nan and she would not have a hard time at the Zhai family’s residence.
Qiao Dongliang had made a choice. Qiao Nan was not the only one who was being put aside in his decision.

Dad, sure enough, you loved Qiao Nan the most.
It was rare that Qiao Zijin could read between the lines.
Qiao Zijin’s countenance changed. Her father might be willing to stay at the Qiao family’s residence in the quad and to meet the Chen family, but she did not expect that whatever he did was all for Qiao Nan’s sake.
Based on what happened recently, there were several times where Qiao Zijin could not help but smile, thinking that she was the winner and her father doted and loved her the most.
Qiao Nan was getting married to Zhai Sheng and she would become Zhai Sheng’s sister-in-law tomorrow. She would be able to make use of the relationship that she had with the Zhai family to strike it rich.
To her surprise, what her father said today had cut off her path to success.
Qiao Dongliang had destroyed her hopes of living in luxury in the future. Qiao Zijin was fuming mad at the near success that she could have.

Dad, are you crazy? Are you confused? We have raised Qiao Nan for twenty-one years. Did we have it easy? Now is the time for Qiao Nan to repay us. Why must we cut off all ties with Qiao Nan and not to contact her anymore? Why?!


I am the person who raised Nan Nan for twenty-one years!
Qiao Dongliang bellowed.
How long has your mother been working? All of the money that she earned has been used to pay for your tuition and living expenses. Nan Nan is twenty-one years old, but your mom has never spent a single cent on her, not to mention you. I am the one who provides for Nan Nan and sends her to school. I don’t mind that the Zhai family does not provide bride price and I also have no wish to seek help from the Zhai family. How dare your mom and you bask in Nan Nan’s glory and seek opportunities for outsiders?

Qiao Dongliang was not foolish. He was only simple-minded in certain aspects and circumstances.
As soon as they reached the Qiao family’s residence, the Chen family requested that everyone from the two families must be present to have a meal together.
Who was the Chen family trying to be acquainted with?
It had to be Qiao Nan, who was about to become the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law.
Now that they did not meet Qiao Nan, they suggested going to the Shi family’s residence to meet Shi Peng to discuss where to place Qiao Nan’s dowry. But it was not appropriate at all. The Chen family had no right to interfere.
If not for the elder daughter, Qiao Dongliang would not play the fool and be led all the way to look for Shi Peng.
Qiao Dongliang did not expect that it would be Feng Cheng who opened the door for him and she would be so impolite toward him.
He knew that the Chen family wanted to make use of his relationship with Shi Peng to get to know him and to leave a good impression.
They had been neighbors for more than three years. Qiao Dongliang knew very well that Shi Peng was upright and would not go along with the Chen family.
Therefore, Qiao Dongliang was not worried that Shi Peng would help the Chen family because of his friendship with Qiao Dongliang.
Of course, Qiao Dongliang did not expect that he would not get to see Shi Peng and Shi Qing would not come out to ease the atmosphere.
It did not occur to Qiao Dongliang at all that it was because of his daughter that Shi Peng was on good terms with him.
