Could she have seen wrongly? But that figure was very clear. In fact, there was even a sense of familiarity.

He gently bit his lips and searched around, yet he still couldn't find a single person.

Qiao Xinran was a little puzzled. Could it be that she was really seeing things while the wine was still being drunk?

But suddenly, something caught her eye in the crack in the rock. Walking over to take a look, it was an incomplete painting.

There was a woman's drawing on it. The brush strokes were so exquisite, yet they gave off a free and light feeling.

However, because the painting was incomplete, she could not tell who the person in the painting was.

However, if there was this painting, then it would prove that someone was indeed here just now, right? It wasn't that she was seeing things!

With the faint scent of ink on the paper, she sniffed a few times and then carefully placed the painting back into the stone crevice. Then, she turned around and left.

Although she really wanted to see the painter, it was still important for her to leave this place.

She really didn't want to see that disgusting man called Han Mo again!

It wasn't easy for him to encounter a Han's Residence, but he found a bigger problem.

This was actually the eastern suburbs! It was a place where every inch of land was worth a lot of money! Within the lush greenery were many luxurious villas. Only those with a strong background would buy this place. Those with a price like the Qiao family did not dare to touch them.

As they were all famous families, there were special cars to take them in and out of the city. Thus, there were very few taxis to be found in the eastern suburbs.

Qiao Xinran waited by the side of the road for nearly an hour, but she did not see a single taxi.

What was even more depressing was that her phone and bag were both missing. When she woke up, there was nothing around her. After asking the servants, they also said that they had never seen him before.

In this way, even if he wanted to call Shan Shan to come pick her up, it would be impossible.

After the second car cruelly drove past her, Qiao Xinran decided to walk home.

After walking under the sun for three hours, they finally reached home. His body was already hurting everywhere, and now, there wasn't a single spot that was good anymore.

Fortunately, Aunt Hua was not there when she returned. Otherwise, she would have asked why she had not returned home last night.

Perhaps he had been too tired from the last night, as he fell into a deep sleep after lying in bed for a short while.

The night was getting darker, and the hot air was getting cooler.

Yuan Hua leaned her face on the sofa, raised her head and looked at the clock on the wall, she could not help but snort, and asked the servant in a stern voice, "Is the young miss still not back?"

"It's Madam, haven't you seen Eldest Miss yet …"

"Hmph, you really don't know the rules. All day long you are fooling around outside!" How does she look like a young miss? "

The servant stood aside obediently. He did not seem to be staying or doing nothing at all. He felt a little worried for Eldest Miss in his heart. Logically speaking, Eldest Miss should have already returned by now. But today, why …

"Aunt Hua, what are you talking about?" What was a fool? Which one of your eyes saw me fooling around? " The servant and Yuan Hua both turned to look at the direction of the voice, only to see Qiao Xinran's gloomy face. He was standing at the stairs on the second floor with a dark expression.

"If you have something to say, just say it to my face. I don't think Aunt Hua is the kind of woman who has a long tongue, right?"

Qiao Xinran said with a cold smile as she walked downstairs.

She was originally a little hungry after waking up, and wanted to come down to find something to eat, but she didn't expect to hear Yuan Hua's ridicule, so she couldn't help but choke back.

If it was in normal times, she would not even bother to argue with Yuan Hua.

But in the past few days, Yuan Hua had made things difficult for her, and even threatened her brother's life to marry Han Mo.

Qiao Xinran had always been holding back a bellyful of anger in her heart, but today, she finally could not hold it in anymore and decided to vent it out on Yuan Hua. It was also because of Yuan Hua's bad luck that she coincidentally bumped into that spear point.

Hearing her words, Yuan Hua became extremely angry, and knew that she was comparing him to a woman with a long tongue, so she snorted: "If you don't want others to say it, then you should clean up yourself! "No one knows who it was that didn't return last night. Such a young lady, she really has no sense of shame, even the Qiao family's face has been thrown away by you!"

In an instant, the anger in Qiao Xinran's heart was ignited.

If it wasn't for this woman, how could his younger brother not know whether he was dead or alive? How could she have met a scumbag like Han Mo, who was bullied to such a state and still had no strength to fight back?

"Yuan Hua! Put your mouth clean! [Do you really take yourself seriously when I call you Aunt Hua? Look carefully! This surname Qiao! His surname was not Yuan! "No matter how much you flatter my father, you will never be the mistress of this house!"

Qiao Xinran stared straight at Yuan Hua, her pair of big eyes almost spitting fire!

"So what if I don't return tonight? Didn't you want to send me to Han Mo's bed? You should be happy that I didn't return home tonight. Didn't this just mean that I listened to your words and your plan came true? What, regret? "Are you regretting that you didn't send your precious daughter to his bed?"

"You …" Yuan Hua was so angry that her entire body trembled as she sat up straight. The mask that covered his face also fell off, revealing his old face that did not have any makeup on.

Qiao Xinran had always been a well-behaved person. She did not expect that she would dare to talk back to her today.

"What about me?" Qiao Xinran laughed coldly, "Don't forget your own identity! In this family, you are a mistress! A mistress who would never be able to turn positive! What right do you have to control me? What right do you have to mock me? "

These words, in Yuan Hua's ears, were ear-piercing. This was a nail in her heart, a nail that could never be removed.

However, her malevolent expression only lasted for a split-second. Immediately, a warm smile appeared on her aged face. It was as if the malevolent face from before wasn't her.

The speed at which his face changed caused even Qiao Xinran to involuntarily gasp in surprise.

Yuan Hua had already made the decision in her heart, she was exhausting herself to chase this burden out of the house, and seeing that the matter was about to succeed, how could she lose at such a time?

Even if she had to swallow this anger, she would have to endure it! She had endured for more than twenty years. Could it be that she wouldn't be able to endure these past few days? As long as these few days passed and this eyesore married into the Han Family, wouldn't the Qiao Family be whatever she said? Wasn't this her world?

"Haha, Xingran, what are you talking about? Aunt Hua was just worried about you, that's all. " She patted her face and spoke in a leisurely manner before turning around and heading back to her room.
