384 The Rise of the Third Family

Xiao Ming smiled. “A girl like Qiao An is delicate. One look and you can tell she’s a delicate princess. Even if Qianqian wanted to pass down the list, she wouldn’t choose Qiao An. Of course, this is just my guess. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Qiao An for it.”

Lu Qianqian grabbed Xiao Ming’s chin ruthlessly and threatened. “Xiao Ming, I advise you to cooperate with me. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee the safety of the Xiao family and the Lu family.”

Xiao Ming looked at “Lu Qianqian” steadily and tried to wake her conscience. “By the way, I heard that your paternity test with the Lu family is completely biological. How did you do it?”

“Xiao Ming, this is not something you should know.”

“Hehe, you want Qiao An to hand over the list. I’ll help you.”

Lu Qianqian smiled evilly. “From now on, stay in the hospital obediently. The nurse I found for you will monitor your every move. Don’t try to escape. As for the list, I’ll get it myself.”

Xiao Ming nodded.

At this moment, “Lu Qianqian” realized that the water tank had already gone silent and quickly drew another round.

Huo Xiaoran realized that something was wrong and quickly retreated.

As expected, “Lu Qianqian” immediately opened all the compartments.

Since this was the hospital’s maintenance floor, there was no one else in the toilet after Huo Xiaoran left. Lu Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief before wheeling Xiao Ming away.

They arrived at the neurosurgery department where Huo Xiaoran waited for them calmly.

Xiao Ming noted Huo Xiaoran’s slight anxiety and a smile appeared in his eyes.

“Xiaoran, find me an independent VIP ward.” Xiao Ming looked like he was enjoying it.

Huo Xiaoran rolled his eyes at him. “The hospital’s beds are tight. The VIP ward is only provided to patients who really need it.”

Lu Qianqian put in a good word for Xiao Ming. “Xiaoran, can you apply for a VIP ward for him?”

Huo Xiaoran refused righteously. “Nonsense. Look at how good his mental state is. The wounds on his body aren’t fatal. Why take up important resources?”

He looked a little scary when he lost his temper.

Lu Qianqian put on a straight face and said arrogantly to Xiaoran, “I’m his family. I have the right to choose a ward for him.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at her coldly. “There are no more VIP wards. Do you want the other patients to move out so we can give him a special concession?”

Lu Qianqian said awkwardly, “That’s not necessary.”

Xiao Ming admired Xiaoran’s pride, dignity, and strength. No one could shake him. This made him wonder if Huo Xiaoran had already guessed Lu Qianqian’s motive.

In the end, Xiao Ming stayed in a four-person room.

Because the patients’ families were taking care of the patients, the ward seemed crowded. Lu Qianqian did not stay for long.

When Huo Xiaoran saw Lu Qianqian leave, he also left. He went straight home. When Qiao An saw him, she didn’t look too good.

“An’an, what’s wrong?”

Qiao An said, “The Li family sent a letter saying that Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law are getting a divorce. They want us to go back for a farewell meal.”

Huo Xiaoran was stunned for a long time. “Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law are divorcing?” He was extremely shocked.

Qiao An said, “That’s right. I thought after Third Sister-in-law would jump off the building, Third Brother would return to her under the pressure of public opinion. It seems that he really doesn’t love her anymore.”

Because the Xiao family had been in troubled times recently, Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran knew that Old Master Huo and his wife often visited the Xiao family to comfort Old Madam Huo’s sister.

Therefore, Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran decided to bring the children back to the Li family this time.

When the children heard that they were going to visit their grandfather’s house, they cheered happily.

When Huo Xiaoran brought his wife and children to the Li family’s villa, he thought that this farewell meal would be especially peaceful. However, they were wrong. This was the most chaotic gathering they had ever witnessed.

Before Qiao An and the others entered, they heard Li Tingfeng roar, “Huang Yushu, don’t think I don’t know that you jumped off the building to plot against me on purpose. Why should I give a ruthless woman like you a single cent? I’ve already decided to sue for divorce. After this meal, get out.”

Then, Li Tingfeng instructed the servant to throw out Huang Yushu’s daily necessities.

Huang Yushu fell on the stairs at the living room door and cried until her voice was hoarse.

“Li Tingfeng, you will suffer retribution.”

At this moment, the butler had already run over and opened the car door for Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran.

The butler said helplessly, “Fourth Young Master, Fourth Madam, you’re finally back. You don’t know, these have been are fighting all day. I wonder how Third Master found out that Third Madam jumped off the building to take revenge on him. He seemed to have changed into a different person and ruthlessly brought Third Madam out of the hospital. Not only did he refuse to treat Third Madam, but he even wanted her to leave with nothing.”

Qiao An asked suspiciously, “Where are Li Zecheng and Li Ze’en?”

They would not stand by and do nothing.

The butler said, “Third Master found an excuse to send him on a business trip.”

Qiao An was terrified. “What a trick to lure the tiger away. What a good husband he is to use such a scheme against his first wife.”

At this moment, the butler saw the three children and said in surprise, “Fourth Young Master, they’re all your children, right?”

“Yes.” Huo Xiaoran looked proud.

“Say hi,” Huo Xiaoran said.

“Hello, Grandpa Butler,” the children greeted respectfully.

The butler’s eyes filled with tears. “What polite children. How nice. Fourth Master, you’re lucky.”

Huo Xiaoran held Qiao An’s hand. “An’an gave me my blessings.”

Qiao An didn’t want the children to see such a melodramatic family drama, so she begged the butler, “Uncle, can you take them to the backyard to play?”

The butler guessed Qiao An’s intentions. He held one of the children’s hand and said, “Fourth Young Madam, don’t worry. I’ll bring the children to familiarize themselves with the Li family’s garden.”

The butler really doted on the children, who left obediently with him. Only then did Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran walk in.

At the bottom of the steps, Third Madam said to Qiao An, “Qiao An, I got what I deserved.”

“My husband was taken from me by a mistress.”

“My husband wants me to leave with nothing.”

“Hahahaha.”

“This is retribution.”

“This is my retribution.”

Qiao An looked at Third Madam, whose legs were still in plaster and couldn’t move freely. Although she hated her, she felt a little more sympathy for her.

She looked inside again and saw that the mistress was finally ordering the servants around like a mistress.

“Throw out all her things. Leave nothing behind.”

In the end, the woman even walked out triumphantly. Like a victor, she mocked Third Madam proudly, “Huang Yushu, you should never have reached out to my daughter and my son.”
