Yeah, Dad, you need to take care of your health. Or Mom and I would worry for you.

Qiao Ruhai looked at the mother and daughter whose faces were filled with concern. He then turned towards Qiao Mianmian, whose expression was cold and stern. Thankfully Ive got the both of you. No one else cares about me. I shouldve known earlier.

Even a dog is loyal to its owner. But a daughter I raised from young doesnt even know how to be grateful!

Qiao Anxin was very happy to hear that. Dad, dont be angry. Sister cares for you too, she just doesnt know how to express it. Isnt she back to see you?

Qiao Anxin had intentionally angered Qiao Mianmian when she saw that Father Qiao was watching them.

She wanted Qiao Mianmian to lose her temper.

The more angered and strong-headed Qiao Mianmian appeared to be, the more sensible and obedient she would seem.

Father Qiaos disappointment towards Qiao Mianmian only deepened.

Qiao Anxin knew that Father Qiaos relationship with Qiao Mianmian couldnt be damaged overnight.

But if she deepened his hurt each time, hed eventually give up on her utterly.

By then, he wouldnt be hung up over his kinship with her.

Qiao Ruhai sneered. Shes not here to see me. I think anyone besides her mom is not worth her consideration.

Exactly. Lin Huizhen scoffed. Youve loved this daughter of yours in vain. Youve always treated her like a precious gem, but she doesnt even care about you as a dad!

Back when you were ill, I called her to come home to have a look at you, but did she? Anxin had rushed back from overseas the moment she heard about it!

You can tell which of your two daughters truly cares for you.

Qiao Ruhais expression turned awful.

He looked even more disappointed with Qiao Mianmian when he turned to look at her again. You didnt come home for two months. Do you have to turn this place upside down the moment you come home?

Qiao Mianmian knew there was no place for her in this house anymore.

She also knew that the present Qiao Ruhai was no longer the Qiao Ruhai she knew.

He only had room for Qiao Anxin and her mother in his heart.

They were his wife and child. The three of them were a family.

But she

She was just an ingrate to him.

Even so, her heart still ached when she saw how upset Qiao Ruhai was with her.

She was hurt.

At this point, she knew more clearly than before that she didnt have any place left here.

She had the last name Qiao, but nobody in the Qiao family really bothered about her.

Not even the father who used to love her.

Qiao Ruhais chiding and words of disdain made her feel like a pain in the neck.

Qiao Mianmian looked towards Qiao Anxins and Lin Huizhens smug smiles. She turned to Father Qiao and said, I didnt know I was capable enough to actually turn this house upside down.
