Chapter 396 - 396 Xiaoran’s Revenge, Qianqian’s Suspension

396 Xiaoran’s Revenge, Qianqian’s Suspension

Everyone felt that Qiao An’s frenzy was a little extreme.

Huo Zhou endured the pain and said, “Qianqian will return the child soon. Why are you so agitated?”

Qiao An waved her fists and cursed in exasperation. “You don’t know anything. You’re a pig. A lecherous stupid pig.”

Huo Zhou was very angry. “Qiao An, are you done scolding?”

!!

Huo Xiaoran looked at Huo Zhou coldly. “It’s already light for her to scold you. Just accept it.”

Huo Zhou gritted his teeth in anger.

Qiao An begged Huo Xiaoran with tears in her eyes, “Brother Xiaoran, quickly get someone to find Joey.”

“Okay.”

Huo Xiaoran turned around and walked up to Old Master Xiao. “I advise Old Master to immediately use all his strength to find Joey. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”

The old man pondered in silence.

A moment later, he said to his son, “Send someone to bring Joey back.”

Huo Xiaoran sent a message to his assistant and bodyguard.

The men on both sides immediately set off.

Fortunately, three hours later, Lu Qianqian returned with Joey.

Everyone in the room looked grim, probably thinking that Qiao An was making a mountain out of a molehill. But when Qiao An saw Joey, she ran up and hugged her.

Grandma Xiao complained to Qiao An, “Qiao An, we’re also Joey’s family. Why would we harm her? Look at how big of a commotion you’ve caused. Isn’t it a waste of resources to go looking for her?”

Qiao An glared at Grandma Xiao angrily, then at Lu Qianqian. Her gaze was filled with condemnation and hatred.

Lu Qianqian felt a chill run down her spine.

“Qiao An, the child has been sent back. Why are you so hostile to me?” Lu Qianqian said indignantly.

Qiao An said viciously, “If anyone dares to touch my child again, I won’t just make a fuss next time.”

Lu Qianqian smiled. Clearly, she did not take Qiao An’s threat seriously.

Until Huo Xiaoran added sinisterly, “Lu Qianqian, stay away from my family. Scram as far as you can. If you dare to appear in front of my child with your ugly face again, I will definitely give you nightmares.”

Lu Qianqian couldn’t stand his poisonous tongue attacking her personally. “Huo Xiaoran, you…”

She felt that she was a noble officer who could stand on the moral high ground and scold Huo Xiaoran.

However, Huo Xiaoran did not give her any respect. Instead, he regarded her as an ugly scheming bitch. He did not show her any mercy.

Lu Qianqian said, “I didn’t do anything wrong. What can you do to me?”

Huo Xiaoran smiled evilly. “We’ll see.”

Huo Xiaoran walked over and hugged Joey with one hand.

With his other hand, he pulled Qiao An away.

The next day, Huo Xiaoran sent the medical report of his daughter being frightened and having a high fever, as well as the video of Joey complaining about being intimidated, to Lu Qianqian’s superior.

Because of this, Lu Qianqian was suspended and investigated.

When Lu Qianqian found out that she had been suspended for investigation, she was so angry that her body trembled. Because she had a mission, if she was suspended for investigation, it would not be beneficial for her to use her public office to find the list.

Therefore, she came to the Xiao family and told the Xiao father and son about Huo Xiaoran’s unreasonable behavior. She hoped that the Xiao father and son would pressure Huo Xiaoran to take the initiative to withdraw the complaint.

The Xiao father and son did feel that Xiao Ran’s actions were too much. They decided to be the middlemen and persuade Xiao Ran to let go of her prejudice against Lu Qianqian.

When Old Master Xiao and Mr. Xiao arrived at Huo Xiaoran’s villa, Huo Xiaoran was playing with the children. Qiao An was chatting with Joey.

When Old Master Xiao and Mr. Xiao entered, Huo Xiaoran looked at them arrogantly.

Mr. Xiao said angrily, “Dad, you’ve been respected by thousands of people your entire life. Look at the way this kid looks at us. It’s as if we owe him.”

The old man stopped Mr. Xiao. “If you need a favor, humble yourself.”

When Qiao An saw the Xiao family, she picked up Joey and walked in. She didn’t give them any respect.

“Xiaoran, why are you so angry?” Old Master Xiao smiled.

Huo Xiaoran said, “Shouldn’t we be angry that you took our daughter away without our permission?”

Old Master Xiao said, “My wife didn’t consider this well. I apologize to you.”

Mr. Xiao was hot-blooded. “Although my mother did not do it right, she had no intention of hurting the child. Wasn’t Joey sent back to you safely? Why did you have to complain about Qianqian with this evidence? Do you know how much it affected Qianqian?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “She should be punished for her mistakes. Why? Are you going to protect her?”

“Xiaoran, Qianqian is indeed in the wrong. She was in the wrong because she was soft-hearted. She listened to my wife and brought the child to do a paternity test. However, Qianqian doesn’t have any ill intentions. It’s just that she has always been filial to my wife. So Xiaoran, on the account that she did something bad out of goodwill, please forgive her this time. Withdraw the complaint.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at him. “Forgive her? Then who will pay for the harm my Joey suffered?”

Hearing that Joey was hurt, the two men couldn’t sit still. After all, Joey was also of the Xiao family’s bloodline.

“What happened to Joey?”

“Follow me in.” Huo Xiaoran led them into the house.

Qiao An sat on the sofa in the living room with the child, as if she was waiting for them to arrive.

“Qiao An, what happened to Joey?” the old man asked with concern.

Qiao An said coldly, “Why don’t you ask Joey yourself what happened to her yesterday?”

The father and son looked at each other. Mr. Xiao asked Joey with a smile, “Baby, don’t be afraid. I’m your uncle. Tell your uncle what Auntie Lu brought you to do yesterday.”

“We went to the hospital. They stripped me naked so the instruments can scan me,” Joey said aggrievedly.

“Huh?” Mr. Xiao was shocked.

“Why did Qianqian do this?”

Qiao An said resentfully, “My Joey was in shock and had nightmares last night. I hope it won’t happen again.”

Old Master Xiao looked at the child cowering in Qiao An’s arms and said with heartache, “We didn’t think it through. Qiao An, don’t worry, this won’t happen again.”

However, Father Xiao said enthusiastically, “Qiao An, Joey is Xiao Ming’s daughter. He’s my family’s flesh and blood. As you know, Xiao Ming and his father died young. The heavens have opened their eyes and left their family with Joey. I think Joey should be acknowledged.”

Qiao An fell silent.

Joey was the daughter of Xiao Ming and Qianqian. Logically speaking, it was reasonable for her to acknowledge her ancestors. However, thinking that Joey was still young and the Xiao family was in trouble, Qiao An didn’t want to put Joey in such an unstable environment.
