The father and daughter had not managed to have a proper conversation and Nan Nan had to return to the capital. They might only be able to meet one year later.
Nan Nan was unlike Zijin. She was a kind and softhearted girl.
He no longer cared and was unable to do anything about the kind of person that Zijin was or how she would turn out to be in the future.
He was the least bit worried about his life after retirement. He knew that Nan Nan would take care of him.
Once he was certain that he would be taken care of in his old age and did not need to worry about anything else, he would wash his hands off Ding Jiayi. He would not care if she did herself in. He would not be concerned about the Qiao Zijin's cold-hearted nature either.
He would wash his hands off both of them. He had become a grandfather. It was considered good enough that he could lead a simple and smooth life.
