Nan Xi’s eyes brightened, she felt as if she understood something, yet also found it somewhat confusing. Should she go and ask Brother Ouyang?
"Dad, I understand, I will definitely work harder from now on."
She said this, so it must be right.
Nan Jin looked at Nan Xi with contempt for her self-righteousness, feeling compelled to speak.
"Don’t keep saying that I’m doing this for your own good. I have never thought about anything like that. No matter how sincere you are, no one believes it.
Moreover, you need to lose weight. I’ll have someone come to train you. Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror? It’s utterly unattractive."
Nobody likes someone who is overweight, especially not to this extent. Men are visual creatures, and sometimes women, more than men, appreciate a good-looking face.
Unfortunately, Nan Xi’s appearance is truly unappealing.
Previously, there was no thought of cultivating her.
Now, it’s not impossible.
Nan Xi had never imagined that Nan Jin would say such things, making her feel even worse than his previous disregard.
"If you want to achieve what you desire, you must first pay a price. Do you want to continue being mediocre,
or do you want to have everything you desire in the future and rise above others? Think about it carefully, then tell me tonight.
I will only give you this one chance to choose."
Nan Jin had also thought of this today after seeing Nan Xi’s behavior; since she was acting this way, it was time to mold her into a daughter he could utilize.
They would benefit mutually, wouldn’t they?
"Don’t need to think about it, dad, I want to achieve my desires."
At that moment, she suddenly felt that perhaps Nan Jin wasn’t all that honorable.
It must be said, Nan Xi had become slightly smarter in that moment.
"Then you start your diet tomorrow. Take up all hobbies and interests you need for success. First, you must possess values that others find appealing."
Their kind of family wouldn’t just choose someone based on their looks alone; besides family background, one must possess something impressive. To get something, you must first learn to give.
Nan Xi lowered her gaze, having experienced Nan Jin’s indifference. But equally, as long as she could achieve everything she wanted, what was Nan Jin to her?
On the way back to school, Wu Wa was holding Bai Zhi’s hand.
"Ah Zhi, that Uncle Nan seems quite decent, at least compared to Bai Da, he didn’t favor Nan Xi."
If it were Bai Da, he would surely have blamed Ah Zhi again, even though it had nothing to do with Ah Zhi, but he always found a way to blame her.
Bai Zhi wouldn’t easily feel certain about it. Sometimes what you see on the surface doesn’t reflect the reality, especially today’s incident, which was clearly Nan Xi’s fault. Unless he wanted to sever ties with Ye Xiu, he had no choice but to act this way.
After the exams, Bai Zhi and Wu Wa went back home.
The Air Freshener Pills were taken by Bai Zhi and Bai Xiang to the pharmacy for consignment.
In the final exams, Bai Zhi’s scores were average; she had been absent a lot, but Wu Wa scored first place, thoroughly outperforming Bai Yu’s class.
On the day they were meant to pick up their report cards, Wu Wa and Bai Zhi were prepared to go back when they encountered an unexpected person.
"Bai Zhi, can we talk for a moment?"
From a distance, Ouyang called out to Bai Zhi.
