But after Qiao Zijin entered university, her life was no longer under Ding Jiayi's control. Still, Qiao Zijin had lied to her that the few books that she had brought back had been sold off by Ding Jiayi. Anyway, Ding Jiayi had never questioned Qiao Zijin about how she spent her money. As such, Qiao Zijin's lies had never once been exposed.
Even so, every time Qiao Nan waited for Qiao Zijin to return with her books, Qiao Zijin would always reply insincerely, "Sorry, my memory hasn't been very good lately. I forgot about that, so I didn't bring any books back this time."
At that time, Qiao Zijin was already a university student and Qiao Nan had already come of age. After being trampled on again and again by Qiao Zijin, Qiao Nan slowly understood that kinship did not exist in the Qiao family.
