"You were the one who raised Qiao Nan, not Dad. She should be more grateful toward you than Dad. If she treats Dad this well, she should treat you even better!"
Once her mom came, Qiao Nan would have to continue renting an apartment just like how she had for her dad. This was the lowest standard she would accept. If her mom was dissatisfied with it, she would make a fuss and Qiao Nan would have no choice but to improve her treatment.
Of course, she would enjoy whatever her mom did too.
Did her dad really think that she would be left stranded with no other choice but to return to Ping Cheng if he were to leave and the Zhai family were to take back this house?
Sorry but Qiao Nan didn't just have a father. She had a mother too. Besides, her mom was on her side too! As long as her mom arrived in the capital, Qiao Nan would have to be as filial to her mom as she had to her dad. When that time came, she would benefit quite a lot from it too.
