Qiao Dongliang did not express much emotion. "I'm not going."
"Did she invite you?"
"Yes, but it's not appropriate for me to go."
After the divorce, Nan Nan was still Ding Jiayi's daughter. The problem was that Qiao Dongliang could not accept sitting together with his former wife in a gathering on the first day of Lunar New Year. It was as if they were still relatives.
He had declined the invitation but he did not do so for Qiao Nan. He brought the news home for Qiao Nan to decide for herself.
"I'm not going either." Qiao Dongliang was not even going. It was thus easier for Qiao Nan to express her inner thoughts. "It is impossible for Mom and me to get along in my entire life. I'm afraid I will suffer from indigestion after having that meal. Soon after, I may have to pay it back to her with interests."
Her mother was treating her to a meal. There could only be one situation—meal in disguise of some plot.
