Chapter 566 - 566 Revenge

566 Revenge

Sisi said anxiously, “Not good, Zhou Zhou. Mom misunderstood Sister An’an. What should we do?”

Huo Zhou, on the other hand, was as quiet as water. “She tricked me once. I will only feel better when she gets punished.”

Sisi punched Huo Zhou. “Without Sister Qiao An, how could we reconcile?”

After Huo Zhou and Sisi got out of the car, Huo Zhou slowly walked over and watched Qiao An and her mother’s intense argument.

Qiao An was furious. She placed her hands on her hips and said helplessly, “Aunt, I didn’t expect you to be so unreasonable. Your Zhou Zhou doesn’t love Sisi, and you still don’t allow them to get a divorce. This is moral coercion. Since you’re so stubborn, I won’t care about your family’s matters in the future.”

Qiao An slipped away.

Huo Zhou looked at his mother in confusion. She had clearly liked Qiao An in the past and treated An’an like her biological daughter.

Huo Zhou realized that the matter was a little serious. He walked up to his mother and persuaded her nicely, “Mom, Qiao An set me up with good intentions. Although her methods are a little shameless, don’t worry. I’ll punish her myself. Don’t get involved in our matters.”

When Zhou Zhou’s mother saw Sisi, she was overjoyed. She held Sisi’s hand excitedly and asked coldly, “Sisi, I’m so happy that you’re back. Fortunately, you didn’t listen to Qiao An.”

Sisi patted her mother’s back and said, “Mom, I have to thank Qiao An this time. If she hadn’t helped, Zhou Zhou wouldn’t have recognized his feelings for me.”

Zhou Zhou’s mother said awkwardly, “Don’t mention Qiao An to me. The mention of that girl makes me angry.”

Huo Zhou and Sisi tried to persuade her for a long time, but Zhou Zhou’s mother refused to forgive Qiao An. “That girl’s words are too ugly. Others have mouths to eat, but hers are worse than tanks and cannons.”

Huo Zhou and Sisi persuaded her to surrender.

Zhou Zhou’s mother’s prejudice against Qiao An seemed entrenched and irreversible.

Sisi was surprised. “Mom usually likes Qiao An so much. Just because Qiao An set you up this time, Mom has a grudge against her. It seems that Mom still loves you the most. You’re still deeply related.”

Huo Zhou looked confused. “Ever since she was young, I’ve never noticed the motherly love in her. It’s too abnormal for her to suddenly love me so much. Is it menopause? Should I send her to the hospital tomorrow?”

Sisi said, “Brother Zhou Zhou, Qiao An has suffered so much. Let’s go comfort her tomorrow. Don’t let her be too disappointed.”

“Okay.” Huo Zhou was originally filled with anger towards Qiao An, but because his mother had treated Qiao An unfairly, his anger subsided a little.

In a moment, Qiao An and Zhou Zhou’s mother were sitting together in the coffee shop. The two of them were as close as mother and daughter. Qiao An fell into Zhou Zhou’s mother’s arms and smiled like a fool.

“Haha, Aunt. I didn’t expect you to be so good at acting. Zhou Zhou looked at me sympathetically today. He didn’t blame me at all.”

Zhou Zhou’s mother stroked Qiao An’s hair dotingly and smiled. “An’an, don’t let your guard down. I understand my son. He’s narrow-minded and vengeful. If he finds out that we joined forces to deceive him, he might plot against us. The more you act pitiful these few days, the more balanced he will be. He won’t make things difficult for us anymore.”

Huo Zhou’s mother was right. The next day, Huo Zhou and Sisi came to visit Qiao An with cheesecake, but Qiao An actually had diarrhea a few times after eating the cheesecake.

Later on, the attentive Huo Xiaoran realized that there was a rare fatal substance in the cheesecake—gluten, but the content was extremely low. Qiao An had diarrhea three or four times, and Xiaoran prescribed medicine to stop her.

Qiao An was so angry that she almost jumped up and scolded, “Huo Zhou is really vengeful.”

Seeing her exasperated expression, Xiao Ran smiled and said, “An’an, Zhou Zhou’s punishment for you is considered gentle. If it were any other man, they would fight you to the death.”

Qiao An’s legs went weak. “He doesn’t know what’s good for him,” she said weakly.

However, the wife-doting maniac, Huo Xiaoran, did not allow anyone to hurt An’an. He took the remaining cheesecake and found Huo Zhou. He smeared the cake on his face.

“Huo Zhou, my An’an ate your cake and had diarrhea. You did it on purpose, right?”

Instead of being angry, Huo Zhou smiled. “I’m innocent. I didn’t know that An’an couldn’t eat cheesecake. I didn’t know that it contained allergens. After all, she’s your wife, not mine. How would I know what substances she’s allergic to?”

“It’s fine if you don’t know,” Huo Xiaoran said.

Then, he sent a notebook to Huo Zhou. The notebook recorded food items Qiao An was sensitive to.

Huo Xiaoran warned Huo Zhou, “Memorize them and you won’t make a mistake in the future.”

Huo Zhou realized that he had failed.

“Doesn’t Qiao An have a doctor like you around? Is there a need to be so nervous?”

“There is a need to,” Huo Xiaoran said bluntly.

Huo Zhou threw the notebook to him. “Alright. I let Qiao An off.”

Huo Xiaoran snorted. “It’s not a big deal. Is there a need to hold a grudge?”

Huo Zhou was depressed and roared, “Huo Xiaoran, you’re just standing there and talking. If it were you today, you would definitely torture the other party to death.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Huo Zhou, don’t pretend to be innocent. Now that you and Sisi are harmonious, you’re targeting outsiders and not letting go of my An’an?”

Huo Zhou smiled smugly and said, “Yes.”

Huo Xiaoran retorted, “Despicable.”

He added angrily, “You two are really on the same side. My An’an is clearly your benefactor, but you joined forces to bully her. Your mother called her an ingrate, but you’re even worse and schemed against her. Zhou Zhou, I really regret meeting a brother like you who can’t distinguish right from wrong.”

Seeing that Xiaoran was really angry, Huo Zhou quickly apologized. “Xiaoran, you’re being too serious. I was just joking with An’an. Don’t take it seriously. Don’t worry, I forgive An’an.”

Huo Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.

“That’s better.”

Because Huo Zhou and Sisi’s relationship had been repaired, Xiao Ran and Qiao An’s hearts finally relaxed.

Xiaoran began to prepare to pick up his father-in-law from Zeng City. He bought many expensive gifts for Father Qiao and carried them to the car.

Qiao An looked at the full trunk, her mouth forming a standard circle.

Huo Xiaoran had always been careful. She did not expect him to make such a low-level mistake when facing his father-in-law.

“Brother Xiaoran, you went to Zeng City to bring my father back to the capital. After you buy these gifts and move them to Zeng City, won’t you have to move them back intact? Why bother?”

Unexpectedly, Huo Xiaoran said confidently, “An’an, I haven’t visited Dad for so many years. I feel bad for visiting him empty-handed.”

Qiao An was dumbfounded. “So these gifts are for you to make your presence known?”

Xiao Ran smiled honestly.
