Chapter 1279: Chapter 1275 Embarrassment
“So what can you do about the Qiao Family?” Old man Lan furiously slammed his cane on the ground, “If it weren’t for Xinhan insisting on having you, I would never let a second-married woman like you in the door!”
An Yuqian had never been scolded like this by the old man before, and she felt incredibly embarrassed with all eyes on her.
“Do you think it’s easy for me? For all these years, have I ever been free from watching your moods? Now that something has happened, not only do you put all the blame on me, but you also use me as your punching bag. How capable you are!”
Seeing everyone putting the blame on her, the resentment in An Yuqian’s heart intensified.
Lan Lan had been silent all this time, but seeing An Yuqian on the verge of tears now, she quickly spoke up to comfort, “Grandpa, Auntie An is right. Not all of this is her fault alone. Now that it has happened, we can only find ways to remedy it. I understand how these online news works. They make a fuss for a while and then quiet down in a few days. Grandpa, there’s no need to be upset over these news.”
Yong Xiaoman didn’t expect her daughter to speak for An Yuqian, and temporarily her face showed some displeasure.
When An Yuqian saw that Lan Lan actually stood on her side, she felt quite moved. After doing so much for Lan Lan over the years, has she finally captured the heart of her stepdaughter?
“Thank you, Xiaolan.”
An Yuqian felt a lot better, glancing somewhat plaintively at her husband.
Lan Lan is still better, her own two children aren’t even half as good as Lan Lan. They carry the blood of the Qiao Family and, in their bones, they’re just too cold.
Because of this argument, the Lan Family was under a gloomy pressure all day. Both Lan Xinhan and the old man’s moods were poor, and they hardly paid attention to An Yuqian.
Qiao Xiaren had only become aware of the news concerning herself and An Yuqian after being informed by Qiao Lang.
At this moment, she was still on the filming set. She originally thought it was someone intentionally dredging up the past. Unexpectedly, it was just the nosy public’s love for gossip that led to this.
This matter didn’t really involve herself, with most of the negative comments targeting An Yuqian.
Yet for some reason, Qiao Xiaren felt a subtle unease lingering in her heart, coming from an indiscernible source.
“What does Grandpa plan to do about it?”
“Your grandfather hasn’t said anything specific yet, but it seems he doesn’t plan to intervene either. Although the news involves the Qiao Family, they are in a favorable position. Your grandfather is happy to let them fight among themselves.”
Qiao Xiaren didn’t speak. Since she was young, she had no father, no mother, no relatives. Probably never expected that in this life she would enter the Qiao Family, having grandparents, uncles, brothers, and now a biological father.
Her nature has always been this way. She will be good to whoever treats her well, and to those who harbor ill intentions towards her, she can discard them without a second thought.
Although seeing An Yuqian trapped in a deadlock, she felt a trace of inexplicable complexity, she didn’t intend to lend a hand.
“Grandpa has currently responded in the best way; let that person be. She’s no longer part of the Qiao Family and her matters have absolutely nothing to do with us.”
The one who abandoned her, she will never look back upon. No matter what relationship existed before, once abandoned, they’ll never hope for her return.
Qiao Lang was a bit hesitant before making the call, but hearing Qiao Xiaren’s resolute stance, he felt relieved.
After hanging up the call, Qiao Xiaren continued to go through the script. Less than half an hour later, her phone screen lit up again. She paused, seeing an unfamiliar number from the Capital appearing on her phone screen.
