Qiao Zijin had decided not to try to fight for Qiao Dongliang's affection before that happened and gave up all hope of Qiao Dongliang favoring her over Qiao Nan.
Now, Qiao Dongliang was entirely biased toward Qiao Nan. Qiao Zijin knew all about that. As such, she could not make any mention of Qiao Nan if she wanted to win. As long as it concerned Qiao Nan, she had to keep her mouth shut. Who would have known that the worst possible situation would happen and that she would make such a grave error immediately?
Qiao Zijin wondered how the world worked. Why did it seem as though everything she said was always wrong? But she was an adult and could not possibly keep her mouth shut all day. Even if she was willing to remain mum, there was no such chance for her to do so. If she did not want to spend money on coaxing someone, the only other alternative was to try to persuade them.
