Right from the start, Qiao Zijin's intention was to leave Qiao Nan with no alternatives. She never expected that the outcome was that she would dig her own grave.
After Qiao Zijin came out from the kitchen, for a moment, she did not know what she could do.
After some thoughts, Qiao Zijin prepared a cup of tea for Qiao Dongliang and then apologized to him in an honest and sincere manner. As for when the book was purchased, whether she read it before or after the middle school exams, she did not say a word.
Qiao Zijin was quite street smart, especially when it came to appeasing her parents.
Knowing the temperament of Qiao Dongliang, it was better to admit to the mistakes immediately than to argue and lie.
True enough, with this, Qiao Dongliang was forgiving and softly persuaded Qiao Zijin not to make the same mistake again in future, to do well in her studies. The behavior was unlike that of Ding Jiayi, who kept shouting at Qiao Nan to quit school.
