Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

Chapter 377 - 377 Domineering Xiaoran



377 Domineering Xiaoran

Although the atmosphere was pleasant, they were talking about unimportant things. Just as Qiao An was about to give up, Qianqian suddenly changed the topic.

“Uncle, I heard from my father that you saw someone who looked like Brother Xiao Ming a few days ago. Where did you see him? What was he wearing?”

Qiao An’s heart tightened.

This question clearly revealed a grudge against Xiao Ming.

Wouldn’t Brother Xiao Ming be in danger?

At this moment, Qiao An pulled Huo Xiaoran up and stuffed the wine glass into his hand. “Brother Xiaoran, let’s toast the elders.”

Huo Xiaoran was a little stunned, but looking at Qiao An’s solemn expression, he guessed that there was a reason.

He stood up and cooperated with Qiao An to come to Old Master Xiao. “Grandpa, An’an and I are used to being carefree. We might not be strict enough with the Xiao family’s military style. Old Master, please forgive me.”

Old Master Xiao looked at Xiao Ran steadily. The light in his eyes was very faint. This was unlike how he regarded the others. When it came to the latter, it was a complicated look of reverence, flattery, or awe.

Huo Xiaoran probably didn’t want anything from him, so he naturally wouldn’t have the intention to flatter him. And his condemnation of Qiao An just now had made this kid take it seriously, so he wouldn’t respect him.

In this way, Huo Xiaoran’s indifferent gaze was understandable. In this case, it was probably not his intention to toast him.

Old Master Xiao had sharp eyes and could see through people. No one could hide from him. He quickly shifted his probing gaze to Qiao An.

Did Qiao An encourage Huo Xiaoran to toast?

Her intentions were definitely not simple. It should be vanity. No woman could probably resist the temptation of power. Qiao An probably liked power. That was what he thought, but when he saw the shadow in Qiao An’s eyes, he felt he was wrong.

The child seemed troubled.

“Qiao An, let’s do a toast too?” In order to better understand Qiao An’s inner world, he decided to induce her to speak.

Qiao An said, “I’ll borrow this glass of wine to wish you good health and everlasting youth.”

Old Master Xiao laughed loudly. “I like it.”

Qiao An sincerely blessed him because she understood the difficulties of the ani-narcotics profession. A wise general like Old Master Xiao was the wealth of the country.

Huo Xiaoran pulled Qiao An and toasted everyone.

When it was Qianqian’s turn, Qianqian suddenly looked at Qiao An and said, “I think I’ve seen you somewhere before?”

Qiao An’s heart skipped a beat.

However, she remained calm and said, “Sister Qianqian, you’re joking. You’re busy every day, while I’m idle. How can our lives intersect?”

Qianqian sized Qiao An up without blinking. “I’ve really seen you before. That green train. Do you remember it?”

Qiao An’s palms sweated slightly. Was this woman also on the green train back then?

Then her identity was very likely to be…

Qianqian was already dead. This woman was ambivalent.

However, because she was disfigured, Qianqian could not equate her appearance with any of the women in the train.

Qiao An was nervous, slightly dazed by the woman’s probing. She wondered if she had really recognized her. She wondered how many secrets she knew about her and Qianqian.

Her thoughts were in turmoil.

At this moment, Huo Xiaoran said, “Sister Qianqian, my An’an got into a car accident a few years ago. She can’t remember what happened two years ago.”

Shock flashed across Qianqian’s eyes.

“So that’s it?”

Qiao An heaved a sigh of relief and thought to herself, Fortunately, she brought Huo Xiaoran along.

Huo Xiaoran quietly held Qiao An’s hand. Feeling the coldness in her palm, Huo Xiaoran held her hand tightly.

Then, he started to play the main role and asked Qianqian, “Sister Qianqian, I’m very sorry that I couldn’t protect my An’an well those few years. I want to know what happened to her those few years. Why can’t she remember what happened in those two years? I wonder if Sister Qianqian can tell me something?”

Qianqian looked at Qiao An doubtfully. “It’s a long story. I’ll talk to you slowly when I’m free.”

Huo Xiaoran couldn’t wait to say, “There’s no time like the present. Sister, why don’t you gather with us after dinner tonight?”

Unable to dissuade him, Qianqian replied perfunctorily, “Okay.”

However, after dinner, Qianqian picked up a call.

Then, she said to Huo Xiaoran apologetically, “Xiaoran, let’s talk next time. I encountered a sudden situation. I have to go over and deal with it quickly.”

“Go, go,” Uncle Xiao urged.

Qianqian left quickly.

Her parents were old friends with the Xiao family, so they stayed for a few days.

The elders chatted happily while Qiao An sat quietly at the side. From time to time, she would whisper to Huo Xiaoran, her voice soft and her actions intimate. This kind of public display of affection was a little improper in the eyes of the Xiao family elders.

“Is she Qiao An?” At this moment, Qianqian’s mother suddenly mentioned her name.

Qiao An jolted and pulled herself together.

“I heard from someone that Xiao Ming and Qiao An are a little close. Could it be that Qiao An is the reason why Xiao Ming came home so late to propose marriage?”

That was pretty straightforward.

She clearly suspected that Qiao An and Xiao Ming were having an affair.

Qiao An closed her eyes. With her fiery temper, she would have retorted.

But this time, she kept thinking of Qianqian’s tragic face. Thinking that Qianqian could endure that inhuman torture, so what if she suffered a little?

However, Huo Xiaoran was very unhappy. His face was drooping and he was very angry.

Qiao An held Xiaoran’s hand and smiled. “Auntie, who did you hear this from?”

She glanced at Huo Zhou.

An unnatural expression flashed across Huo Zhou’s face.

Instead of being angry, Qiao An smiled. “Cousin likes Qianqian and can’t wait to stuff a few more women on Brother Xiao Ming. Only then will he have a chance to get his sweetheart?”

These words made Huo Zhou blush.

Huo Xiaoran glared fiercely at Huo Zhou, also blaming him.

Qianqian’s mother said, “We watched this child grow up. How can I not know if he’s lying? However, Qiao An, I’ve heard many exciting rumors about you. You must have some means to turn from the bottom to Mrs. Huo.”

Although Qiao An had a bad temper, she was still thin-skinned. How could she not tell that Qianqian’s mother was mocking her?

However, she tried her best to endure.

However, Huo Xiaoran couldn’t stand it. He suddenly stood up. “Madam, it’s not up to you to criticize my An’an.”
