446 Sudden Appearance of Xiao Ran’s Father
Mrs. Lu did not expect to be abandoned by her husband. She fell to the ground weakly and cried her heart out.
“What did I do wrong? Didn’t I do everything for the sake of the Lu family? What right do you have to treat me like this?”
Qiao An squatted in front of her and asked her, “Aunt Lu, are you sad? Do you hate me?”
Mrs. Lu glared at Qiao An angrily. “Qiao An, who asked you to interfere in our family’s matters?”
Qiao An continued, “Can you understand Rosa’s pain now? She was abandoned by her dearest person and fell from heaven to hell. Aunt Lu, do you understand that despair now?”
Mrs. Lu was instantly silenced.
Perhaps it was only at this moment that she understood how cruel she had been to Rosa all those years ago.
“I didn’t sell her. I just gave her away. I thought the buyer would be good to her.” She covered her face and cried bitterly.
Qiao An said again, “Rosa wants to see you one last time.”
Mrs. Lu didn’t say anything and just cried.
Qiao An sighed heavily. “You should confess sincerely to her.” With that, Qiao An left.
Just as she walked out of the door, she heard the sound of Father Lu smashing the furniture behind her. Father Lu roared angrily, “If we don’t even have our daughters, what’s the use of this family? My Qianqian, my Qianyu, they’re all harmed by you, their mother. It’s all your fault. Oh my god, if you don’t marry a virtuous wife, your family will be unlucky.”
Then, Mrs. Lu’s angry voice sounded. “You only know how to scold me. Do you dare to scold your old woman? If she hadn’t criticized me every day for not being able to give birth to a son and said that I had caused the Lu family to have no descendants, would I have been willing to give my daughter away if she hadn’t abused me every day?”
Qiao An sighed.
What did marriage give people?
Every family would experience many hardships and hardships. If one did not have the tolerance to resist setbacks and the courage of a couple to work together, how could one deal with the storms in marriage?
Qiao An didn’t return to the Heavenly Imperial Garden. At this moment, Huo Xiaoran was still working in the company. She suddenly missed him so much. She wanted to hug him and tell him about his father.
She did not want to be like Mrs. Lu, who made a self-righteous decision behind her husband’s back. In the end, she would harm others and herself. The gains did not make up for the losses.
Qiao An bought Huo Xiaoran’s favorite lunch on the way and came to the Angel Group.
Her appearance immediately caused an uproar.
After all, this was the first time Qiao An had come to the company to deliver food to her husband.
When the employees saw Qiao An, they whispered.
“The CEO’s wife is so beautiful.”
“And Madam has sent a bento for the CEO.”
“This is the first time we’ve seen Madam so attentive to the CEO.”
“That’s right. I only know that the CEO loves Madam so much. Look at our CEO. He’s rich, handsome, and so loyal in his relationship. I don’t know what the CEO’s wife is thinking, but she was so at ease leaving the CEO here. If it were me, I wouldn’t do anything every day. I would just watch over him every day.”
Huo Xiaoran quietly appeared at the back of the office. When he saw the employees gathered together and whispering, he reprimanded them coldly, “What are you doing? Return to your seats.”
An employee asked him playfully, “CEO, Madam has sent you a bento.”
Huo Xiaoran was stunned for a moment before saying, “That’s not her style. Her culinary skills are not good.”
At this moment, Qiao An leaned against the back door and looked at Huo Xiaoran calmly. “If my culinary skills are not good, can’t I buy delicacies outside to offer to the Buddha?”
When Huo Xiaoran heard Qiao An’s voice, he turned around in surprise. When he saw Qiao An carrying the lunchbox, he ran over happily and hugged her. “Honey, you’re finally here to visit. If you hadn’t come, they would have thought that you don’t love me anymore.”
Qiao An smiled charmingly.
Huo Xiaoran asked curiously, “Why are you here to see me?”
Qiao An looked at him gently. “I miss you.”
“Eh!” The employees were stuffed with their public displays of affection and got back to work.
Someone even used the tune of a popular song to sing, “This PDA hurts my face…”
Qiao An held Huo Xiaoran’s hand. “To your office.”
“Let’s go.” Huo Xiaoran was as happy as a child.
After the CEO and Madam left, the employees gathered together and gossiped again.
“The president loves her so much. Madam actually used the ready-made delicacies outside to satiate the president. She doesn’t put in any effort at all. If it were me, I would definitely cook delicious food for the president every day.”
“Tsk.” She was despised by a group of people.
“The CEO doesn’t like lowly people like you. Madam is such a good catch. She has fair skin and beautiful legs, and she’s a talented woman. Didn’t you see that Madam looks at the CEO like a little fan? Madam also loves the CEO, right?”
“I also heard some inside information. I heard that when the CEO and Madam were studying, the CEO relied on Madam to support him?”
“No wonder the CEO is loyal to Madam.”
In the CEO’s office, Huo Xiaoran opened the food box. When he saw the exquisite delicacies, he immediately beamed.
He liked everything.
Qiao An took out her chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork, and fed it to Huo Xiaoran. Then, she asked with a smile, “Does it taste like memory?”
Huo Xiaoran’s mother loved to cook this dish for him when she was alive. Huo Xiaoran had special feelings for braised pork.
He looked into Qiao An’s expectant eyes and smiled especially happily. “Honey, this is the scent of love.”
Qiao An smiled crisply. “If you like it, I’d better learn it. I’ll cook it for you in the future.”
Huo Xiaoran pinched her face. “Thank you, wife.”
At this moment, the secretary pushed the door open and Huo Xiaoran’s handsome face instantly darkened. “Didn’t I say not to disturb me?”
The secretary said, “CEO, a man who claims to be your father wants to see you.”
Qiao An’s hand trembled as she held her chopsticks.
Why did he come so quickly?
Huo Xiaoran was stunned for a long time. Then, he said in a teasing tone, “My father? Tell him that my father has long died.”
The secretary hesitated for a moment and said, “CEO, he really looks a little like you.”
“Get lost.” Huo Xiaoran was furious.
The secretary quickly retreated.
Qiao An looked at Xiao Ran in a daze, but she saw that his fingers were trembling. She stood up and walked towards him and hugged him gently.
“Hubby.”
Without needing to say anything, Huo Xiaoran’s trembling body gradually calmed down because she hugged him quietly.
“What right does he have?” he accused the irresponsible man excitedly.
“You abandoned us back then. What right do you have to acknowledge us now?”
