Chapter 1276: Chapter 1272 Skinning
“Don’t worry, if he really harms you, I will do everything I can to protect you.”
Although An Yuqian’s inner panic wasn’t reduced, her heart felt much better because of her husband’s comforting words. An Yuqian thought indignantly.
Why won’t the Qiao Family let me be?
Why does that person have to come back!
She secretly made a decision: if anyone dares to damage the Lan Family or ruin her peaceful life, she will fight them to the end.
After calming An Yuqian down, Lan Xinhan went straight back to the study, seemingly dealing with something very urgent.
Qiao Xiaren hadn’t expected that at this moment, another incident would explode on the internet.
Ever since her identity was revealed, the media’s attention on the Qiao Family and Qiao Xiaren has become increasingly close.
Some unpleasant events occurred in the Qiao Family back then, the most conspicuous being the remarriage of the Qiao Family’s lady to Lan Xinhan. The rumors back then were numerous and varied, but as time passed, people gradually stopped talking about it.
But with the revelation of Qiao Xiaren’s identity, the news of the possible return of the third young master of the Qiao Family made the media eager to act.
The Lan Family’s status in the Capital is not low; the tension between the Qiao and Lan families is indeed significant despite their seemingly calm relationship. Some nosy people began to probe deeper, boldly speculating on the relationships between Qiao Xiaren, An Yuqian, Lan Xinhan, and others.
By the time she saw the online news, it had already caused quite a stir.
Tianya and other gossip forums had rapidly sprouted many threads.
[Shocking expose: biological mother abandons child; legitimate marriage with lover equals elopement and adultery!]
The title and content were in bright red, very attention-grabbing.
“Come and check out the latest explosive news that the poster has just discovered. Qiao Xiaren was only recently exposed about her family background, and she turns out to be the daughter of the Lan Family’s president’s wife and the third son of the Qiao Family. Don’t try to trace me, my account is new, and I’ve hidden my IP before posting. The intention to expose is genuine, though I’m quite cowardly.”
“Wow, I mentioned before that there were indeed rumors claiming that the Qiao Family’s daughter was lost outside. How did she suddenly become Qiao Xiaren, who’s been in the Capital for years? I made a bold guess that the old man might have recognized his granddaughter a long time ago, just waiting for the right moment to reveal her identity. Speaking of which, it took so many years to find Qiao Xiaren; there has to be something fishy in this! If the poster’s expose is true, I can only say the biological mother is no good!”
“The poster adds here that back then, the Lan Family’s president was Lan Xinhan, and he was childhood friends with Qiao Xiaren’s mother, An Yuqian. Due to family reasons, she was forced to marry into the Qiao Family, and all her resentment towards them developed into actions against her daughter, leading to abandoning her husband and daughter. She left the just-born Qiao Xiaren in Shanshui Town, and coincidentally, it was then that the third young master’s death was reported!? Such coincidences are too eerie! An Yuqian took the opportunity to remarry her lover smoothly, and she probably wasn’t up to any good with the Qiao Family! A woman with such schemes is truly hateful, yet pitiful at the same time.”
“Ha, who’s to say it wasn’t because she coveted the Qiao Family’s power? Her parents might have had ulterior motives too when forcing her to marry, don’t turn around and act virtuous now, I spit!”
“Thinking about it this way, almost all the events that happened in the Qiao Family back then are likely related to An Yuqian. I just can’t believe the old man could tolerate her!”
…
People in the Capital are generally interested in such explosive news because it’s nearby, and Qiao Xiaren has been frequently reported in recent news.
