He was just beginning to feel upset when he saw Qiao Mianmian’s eyes. They were filled with indifference, and the sight reignited the anger that had just calmed down a little.
“Rebellious girl!” He pointed at Qiao Mianmian’s nose and scolded again. “What kind of expression is that? Do you think I’ve wronged you? You don’t even have the most basic respect for your elders, it’s as if you didn’t receive any education. You really throw my face away!
“Look at your sister and then look at yourself! You’re simply a failure as an elder sister!”
“Dad, calm down, calm down!”
Qiao Anxin stood behind Qiao Ruhai, and when she looked up at Qiao Mianmian, her eyes were full of pride and provocativeness.
She stepped forward and held Qiao Ruhai’s hand. Pretending to be obedient and sensible, she said in a soft whisper, “The doctor already said that you should take care of your body. What if you harm your body because of your anger?
“Sister, you’re too much.” She frowned and criticized her softly. “You know that Dad isn’t in good health and shouldn’t be too angry, how could you still anger him! Can’t you just give in a little?
“You’ll only feel reconciled after making him angry.
“I know you’re in a bad mood now, so it doesn’t matter if you scold or hit me. But please don’t make Dad angry anymore. Sister, I’m begging you, please don’t make trouble anymore.”
“Only Anxin is more sensible,” Lin Huizhen pointedly said to Qiao Ruhai. “Master, they are both your daughters. You should be clear in your heart who’s more sincere and good to you.”
Qiao Ruhai glanced at Qiao Anxin in gratification, then turned to Qiao Mianmian. He was only left with disappointment and disgust. “Our house fell into a foul state the moment you come back. In the future, it’s better if you return less.
“Your Aunt Lin and Anxin are generous and won’t haggle with you about what happened. I’m too lazy to say anything to you too. Forget it, just go. I don’t want to see you now.”
Qiao Mianmian covered her face and looked blankly at the three of them standing opposite her.
Opposite her was a happy family of three.
They were the real family.
And she was just of no consequence.
This scene was really ironic.
As expected, she should have known long ago that this was no longer her home.
In fact, she had always been clear.
She just felt that more profoundly this time.
“Sister, go back to school first.” Qiao Anxin kindly advised with a soft and comforting tone. “Dad is in a rage now, so he’s only saying these in the moment of anger. Don’t take it to heart. You can come back when he has calmed down…”
“Qiao Anxin, shut up! Shut your hypocritical face, it makes me sick.”
Qiao Mianmian was extremely disgusted to see her pretending to be obedient and sensible.
“Sister, you…” Qiao Anxin immediately pretended to be hurt. She blinked and her eyes instantly turned red.
“Master, just look at what she has become. She bullied us to this point in front of you. How much more insolent will she be when you’re not around?
“You finally believe what I said to you before, right? Anxin and I have been bullied a lot by her in the past few years. If you don’t control your daughter well, I’m afraid she won’t even put you in her eyes.” Lin Huizhen also reached out and wiped the corner of her eyes, looking sad and aggrieved.
