Huo Xiaoran was suddenly petrified.
If what Lu Mo said was true, then it was a coincidence that Qiao An was pregnant when they consummated their love.
In that case, Third Sister Qiao was very likely to be his daughter. At the thought of this possibility, Huo Xiaoran inexplicably felt relieved.
He remembered that Qiao An had once told him that she would definitely bear children for him in the future. Had she always kept her promise?
When Lu Mo saw Huo Xiaoran fall into a terrifying silence, he immediately realized that she had revealed some secrets that she shouldn’t have. Huo Xiaoran must have thought of himself as the father.
Lu Mo panicked. It seemed like she had to do something.
Lu Mo hurriedly bade Huo Xiaoran farewell. Unexpectedly, she arrived at the Li family villa.
The wives of the Li family liked Lu Mo very much.
This was because Lu Mo was different from Huo Xiaoran. Every time she came to the Li family, she would buy gifts to please them and be especially warm and polite to the Li family. She was not like Huo Xiaoran who was cold to anyone in the Li family.
In addition, Lu Mo was the daughter of the director of Jinghang Hospital. This identity was enough to attract the attention of the Li family. The ladies also wanted to curry favor with her and bridge connections with Jinghang Hospital.
Therefore, everyone had their own ulterior motives. After a while, their relationship became very harmonious.
“Momo, you haven’t come to see us in a long time. We miss you so much.” Second Madam pulled Lu Mo to her side enthusiastically.
Madam smiled and said, “Momo, I heard that you and our Xiaoran are about to get married. In the future, you’ll be the number one socialite in the capital. Our Li family’s future depends on you.”
Lu Mo was welcomed by the ladies, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.
“Madam, don’t worry. After Xiaoran and I get married, I will definitely persuade him to let bygones be bygones with the Li family. As long as Xiaoran is willing to support you, the Li family will definitely return to its former glory.”
Madam and the ladies enjoyed their dreams.
On the other hand, Old Master Li, who was sitting on the sofa, was exceptionally calm. He asked Lu Mo coldly, “Does Xiaoran know that you came to the Li family?”
Lu Mo’s expression was a little awkward. However, in order to show off in front of the Li family’s patriarch, Lu Mo said, “Uncle, Xiaoran actually doesn’t like me interacting with the Li family. However, I think Xiaoran is just angry. You’re all his closest people. He’ll have to go home sooner or later.”
A meaningful smile appeared in Old Master Li’s eyes, making Lu Mo panic.
The smile seemed to contain a sneer.
“Momo, do you know why Xiaoran didn’t marry you all these years?”
Lu Mo could not tell what Old Master Li meant. She came up with a reason that could greatly satisfy her vanity.
“Xiaoran has been busy expanding his career for the past few years and has not placed his mind on his personal feelings at all.”
The old man scoffed. “Hmph. He’s not ambitious. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to be a poor doctor against my wishes back then.”
Lu Mo’s face felt inexplicably hot.
She could tell that the old man was mocking her for not having the ability to subdue Huo Xiaoran.
“Uncle, Xiaoran is unwilling to get married. I have no choice.” Lu Mo’s eyes flickered with tears.
Old Master Li stopped rubbing salt in her wound. “Why are you here today?”
Lu Mo said, “I’m here today to share good news with you.”
“Oh?” Everyone thought that Lu Mo had brought life to the Li family’s company.
Unexpectedly, Lu Mo said, “Qiao An gave birth to a pair of twin daughters for Li Zecheng. Do you know about this?”
Everyone was silent.
‘What kind of good news is that?’
Wei Xin was so shocked that the teacup in her hand fell to the ground.
Third Madam looked disdainful. “Twins? Both daughters? Isn’t this too disappointing?”
The other madams, on the other hand, did not care.
Only the old man’s eyes were filled with surprise, followed by a comfortable smile. “So, Qiao An didn’t have a miscarriage back then?”
“Qiao An is so intelligent and beautiful. Presumably her daughter is also very likable.”
Wei Xin’s face turned as pale as paper.
Old Master Li’s next words sent her to prison.
“Wei Xin, isn’t there a problem with the second son you and Li Zecheng gave birth to? Then let Zecheng bring Qiao An’s children back and raise him as your biological children. When the children grow up in the future, they can also share some of your burden.”
Wei Xin’s face was ashen. She gritted her trembling teeth and said angrily, “Grandpa, there’s something wrong with my second child, but we still have the elder one.”
The old man rolled his eyes at her. “I think that child’s aptitude is mediocre. She won’t be able to become a big shot.”
Wei Xin trembled. As a mother, she hated to hear others slander her child.
Wei Xin immediately said angrily, “Grandpa, a two-year-old child’s brain hasn’t matured yet. How can you be so sure that my daughter won’t become successful?”
Old Master Li snorted. “Genes are inherited. What kind of child can a vain woman like you raise?”
Wei Xin was furious.
When Lu Mo saw that the news she brought had caused a war, she immediately stood up in embarrassment and hurriedly bade farewell to everyone.
“Uncle, sisters-in-law, I still have something on. I’ll take my leave first.”
When Lu Mo left, a smug smile appeared on her face.
Old Master Li instructed his third daughter-in-law, “Go and call Li Zecheng over. I have something to tell him.”
Wei Xin was so angry that tears rolled down her face.
She stormed off.
When she returned to her room, Wei Xin threw herself onto the sofa and cried.
Li Zecheng, who was sitting in front of his computer and playing games, looked at her in a daze and asked impatiently, “What’s wrong with you now?”
He also knew that Wei Xin had suffered a lot after being disliked by the old man. However, he was also annoyed by her habit of crying.
Wei Xin raised her tearful face and said sarcastically, “Qiao An gave birth to twin daughters. Did you know about this?”
Li Zecheng’s eyes flashed with pain.
He’d always thought that he didn’t love Qiao An anymore. But when he’d bumped into her and her husband some time ago, he’d been stung by her restored figure, her devastating looks, and her blissful smile. At that moment, he realized that his heart was bubbling with jealousy.
Qiao An would always have the ability to make him sink at a glance.
“I’ve met her and the child.”
Wei Xin was stunned, and then pain spread throughout her body. The pain of being betrayed by her husband made her lose consciousness for a moment.
“What are you going to do with the daughters?” she asked shakily.
Li Zecheng looked surprised.
“Those are Qiao An’s daughters,” he said.
Wei Xin sneered. “How long do you want to hide it from me? Lu Mo came just now. She has already told us the truth. Qiao An didn’t have a miscarriage back then and even gave birth to a pair of twin daughters for you.”
