Chapter 155: She’s a Pain in the Neck  

“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 I’ve got the both of you. No one else cares about me. I should’ve known earlier.

“Even a dog is loyal to its owner. But a daughter I raised from young doesn’t even know how to be grateful!”

Qiao Anxin was very happy to hear that. “Dad, don’t be angry. Sister cares for you too, she just doesn’t know how to express it. Isn’t 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 Qiao’s disappointment towards Qiao Mianmian only deepened.

Qiao Anxin knew that Father Qiao’s relationship with Qiao Mianmian couldn’t be damaged overnight.

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

By then, he wouldn’t be hung up over his kinship with her.

Qiao Ruhai sneered. “She’s not here to see me. I think anyone besides her mom is not worth her consideration.”

“Exactly.” Lin Huizhen scoffed. “You’ve loved this daughter of yours in vain. You’ve always treated her like a precious gem, but she doesn’t 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 Ruhai’s expression turned awful.

He looked even more disappointed with Qiao Mianmian when he turned to look at her again. “You didn’t 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 didn’t 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 Ruhai’s chiding and words of disdain made her feel like a pain in the neck.

Qiao Mianmian looked towards Qiao Anxin’s and Lin Huizhen’s smug smiles. She turned to Father Qiao and said, “I didn’t know I was capable enough to actually turn this house upside down.”
