Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

Chapter 376 - 376 Suspicion

376 Suspicion

Qiao An had long heard of Huo Xiaoran’s legendary teacher. Not only was he skilled, but he was also a teacher and friend to Huo Xiaoran. Probably because he didn’t have his own child, he treated Huo Xiaoran as his own child and doted on him.

Qiao An looked at Xiao Ran in confusion, not knowing what he meant.

Huo Xiaoran said, “Either Teacher will accompany you to the Xiao family and protect you while I take care of the children, or I’ll accompany you to the Xiao family and Teacher will stay behind to help us protect the children.”

Qiao An thought for a moment. She felt that she was as timid as a mouse and would always panic when something happened. Since Huo Xiaoran was wise and farsighted, he could make up for her shortcomings.

Qiao An walked up to the teacher and thanked him respectfully. “Teacher, I’ll leave the children with you. Sorry to trouble you.” She bowed to him.

The teacher smiled at her. “Qiao An, don’t worry. With me around, nothing will happen to the babies.”

Only then did Qiao An leave with Huo Xiaoran in relief.

When they arrived at the Xiao family, there was a burst of rare harmonious laughter.

When Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran entered, they saw a few authorities of the Xiao family surrounding Qianqian’s family and chatting.

As for Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An, they only nodded at them indifferently as a greeting.

Qiao An clearly felt that the Xiao family valued honor and reputation and did not respect businessmen like Xiao Ran and Huo Zhou.

Instead, they valued Qianqian’s family, which was also a military family.

Fortunately, Old Madam Huo doted on Xiao Ran and Qiao An. She waved at the two of them warmly. “Xiaoran, Qiao An, come and sit beside Grandma.”

Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran sat in front of Old Madam Huo.

Old Madam Huo introduced Qiao An and Xiao Ran warmly. “We have an important guest today. This is Qianqian. She’s the overlord of the police academy. Her punches and kicks are very good. She’s better than the boys in the police academy. Moreover, Qianqian has already achieved first-class merit at such a young age.”

Qiao An took the opportunity to size up Qian Qian and saw that her face was bruised. There were centipede-like scars on her facial features. Because it involved her skin, her facial features were deformed.

At first glance, she really looked a little like the Qianqian she knew.

However, Qiao An knew that she was definitely not Qianqian.

“Qianqian” was very embarrassed. She said shyly, “I’m just doing what I should do. It’s not worth showing off.”

The more humble she was, the more the elders of the Xiao family liked her.

Old Master Xiao said, “Qianqian is the light of the country. You are deserving of any honor. If our Xiao Ming can marry a wife like you, it will be his blessing. Qianqian, don’t worry. Xiao Ming won’t abandon you just because you’re disfigured. If he dares to like the new and hate the old, I’ll be the first to not let him off.”

Qiao An looked down, thinking about how she was going to trip Qian Qian up and undo her fake mask.

She decided to use the method of killing the enemy and harming herself to figure out her identity.

Qiao An cleared her throat and said, “Qianqian, what’s wrong with your face?” Although she deliberately pretended to be very concerned about her, she had already lost her basic etiquette by poking at people’s scars. As soon as she said this, the expressions of the elders of the Xiao family darkened.

Qianqian pretended to be magnanimous. She touched her cheek and smiled. “It was blown up.”

Qiao An pointed at the very shallow but deliberate scars on her face. “Why did those scars happen to explode?”

Perhaps because Qiao An’s question was sudden, Qianqian didn’t think of how to answer her. She lowered her eyes and pretended to be sad.

Qianqian’s mother loved her daughter dearly and reprimanded Qiao An. “Why are your words so ugly?”

Qiao An was embarrassed.

Huo Xiaoran quickly helped her out. “You’ve misunderstood An’an. She doesn’t have any ill intentions. An’an just got into a car accident and had a scar on her neck, but she had it treated successfully with an ointment. Therefore, she just wants to understand Qianqian’s pain so that she can make an accurate recommendation.”

Everyone fell silent at this.

Qianqian’s family looked very sad.

They felt that Qianqian’s face was too seriously injured. How could an ointment make a difference? It was clearly an excuse Huo Xiaoran made up.

The Xiao family was very unhappy with Qiao An. Xiao Yue’s father, Uncle Xiao, ordered his daughter, “Yueyue, bring Qiao An to the back garden to see the flowers and plants.”

This was a blatant dismissal.

Xiao Yue was already bored, so she quickly held Qiao An’s hand and walked out.

When they arrived at the back garden, Xiao Yue asked Qiao An in confusion, “Sister Qiao An, how could you say that? Weren’t you rubbing salt in her scars?”

Qiao An was speechless.

It seemed that Xiao Yue also liked Qianqian very much.

However, the real Qianqian was so beautiful, brave, and kind. She was the embodiment of percfection. Who wouldn’t like her?

Qiao An looked at Xiao Yue and thought about it. Perhaps she could use Xiao Yue’s mouth to send some news to Uncle Xiao.

Qiao An organized her words. “Yueyue, I didn’t mean to. I just saw an article on a platform about a pair of twins who had been separated since they were young. After the sister died, the other sibling pretended to be the sister to take revenge on the parents who had abandoned her. So I asked a few more questions.”

Xiao Yue laughed out loud. “I knew it. You’re usually sharp. It turns out that our writer is starting to use her imagination again. However…”

Xiao Yue changed the topic and said, “This story is really similar to Sister Qianqian’s.”

“In what way?” Qiao An asked excitedly.

Xiao Yue said, “A child was lost at Sister Qianqian’s home, but it’s not a twin. She’s Sister Qianqian’s sister. She was kidnapped when she was more than a year old. They haven’t been able to find her for so many years. I don’t know if she’s alive or dead.”

Qiao An’s jaw dropped as she heard what Xiao Yue shared.

No wonder this “Qianqian” was related to Qianqian’s parents. Was she actually their biological daughter?

However, since she was already Qianqian’s sister, she could go home openly. Why pretend to be her sister?

What was her motive?

Qiao An was puzzled.

During dinner, the servant came to call them.

When Qiao An arrived at the dining room, she realized that the Xiao family had prepared two tables of delicious food. The elders were sitting at the table, and “Qianqian” was forced to stay at their table.

The old man said kindly, “Qianqian, sit with us. You can tell us about your recent work.”

Qiao An chose the seat closest to Qianqian and listened to their conversation.

Her mind was not on her table at all.

She heard Qianqian say very politely, “How would I dare to show off in front of an expert? My achievements are not worth mentioning in front of you.”

Uncle Xiao laughed loudly. “You’re too humble. When we were your age, we didn’t have as many medals as you.”
