Chapter 501 - 501 Death of the Demon

501 Death of the Demon

Qiao An stood up and looked down on Lu Tianci. “Lu Tianci, you killed your brother and harmed your niece. Have you ever thought that this is the best place for you? You were betrayed by your wife and your sons aren’t yours. You raised the children for your wife’s lover. Can you feel the pain?”

Qiao An knew how to use sharp words to destroy a person’s mind. Lu Tianci glared at Qiao An with bloodshot eyes.

“Qiao An, did I really underestimate you?”

Qiao An smiled teasingly. “I promised Sister Qianqian that I would definitely restore the Lu family’s light. This is my promise to her. Lu Tianci, at first, I didn’t think that Qianqian’s so-called light was the darkness of your Lu family. Now, I know. My heart aches for Sister Qianqian. She must have gone on a path of no return to investigate the reason for her sister’s disappearance. She must have suspected your misconduct and went to look for poor Qianyu.”

Qiao An’s eyes suddenly turned cold. “Lu Tianci, the Lu family is loyal, but you killed them. You’re guilty of a heinous crime.”

With that, Qiao An left without looking back.

Lu Tianci was still panting. Qiao An had destroyed his world and turned the home he had worked so hard to build into his cage.

Chen Yufeng’s betrayal was like a demon’s hand grabbing his neck, making him furious.

Falcon instructed the staff, “Take him away.”

Then Falcon went after Qiao An.

“An’an.”

Qiao An stopped and Falcon walked up to her. His words were filled with the love of an elder. “An’an, I know you hate the baddies who break up other people’s families. But once you leave here, you have to learn to put away this emotion. Otherwise, it won’t be good for your well-being.”

Qiao An looked up, her eyes already red.

“Dad, I understand.”

Falcon looked worried. “An’an, Dad has seen many separations. Believe Dad, don’t be so desperate. Xiaoran didn’t jump very from a very high place that day, and he also fell into the sea. I think he still has a chance of survival.”

At the mention of Xiaoran, Qiao An’s tears couldn’t stop falling.

“Dad. It’s been half a year, but he hasn’t returned.”

Qiao An left in a daze.

Not long after, news came from the prison that Lu Tianci and Old Madam Lu’s death sentences had arrived. Although Qiao An had been in a daze recently, she thought that she should inform Chen Yufeng about such a big matter.

Hence, she and Ze’en went to Chen Yufeng’s house and told her the good news.

“Aunt Chen, are you going to see him executed by the firing squad?” Qiao An asked her.

Chen Yufeng hesitated for a long time before nodding and saying, “I want to see him die with my own eyes. This way, I will stop having nightmares at night.”

Qiao An brought Chen Yufeng to the execution ground. When Lu Tianci was escorted out, he saw Chen Yufeng at first glance. He was stunned for a moment before his eyes instantly turned red.

“Thank you for coming to see me off,” he whispered.

Chen Yufeng glared at him angrily. Her gloating gaze pierced Lu Tianci.

“Lu Tianci, you’ve finally received your retribution.”

Lu Tianci lowered his head in shame.

After the gunshot sounded, Qiao An helped Chen Yufeng home.

Chen Yufeng returned home and sat on the sofa. She let out a long and deep breath.

“I can finally sleep well tonight.”

Qiao An smiled and comforted her. When she left with Ze’en, Chen Yufeng asked her youngest son to send the, out.

“Sister Qiao An, is my father really dead?” As they left, he suddenly called out to her and asked her a few questions.

Qiao An nodded. “Are you sad?”

Qiao An knew that in order to deal with Lu Tianci, Chen Yufeng had never told her sons about their true parentage.

A ferocious expression appeared on his face. “I’m not sad. He deserves to die. It’s because of him that my mother became depressed and had cancer.”

Qiao An was stunned.

He continued, “He has a home outside and doesn’t come home all year round. A man like him who doesn’t care about his family deserves to die.”

Qiao An pressed her hand to his trembling shoulder. “Child, don’t be angry or sad. You should be happy. Because he’s a bad person who stopped you from acknowledging your biological father.”

“He’s not my father?”

“He’s a demon. He’s always used your lives to threaten your mother not to divorce. He’s dead now. Your mother will tell you the truth. Go. Ask your mother for the truth.”

“Yeah.” The boy turned to leave.

Ze’en was worried. “Can he accept that he’s Mom’s illegitimate child?”

Qiao An smiled. “He should look forward to being a child out of wedlock more than he does to being the son of a criminal.”

Ze’en nodded. “That’s true.”

After a tired day, Qiao An returned to the Heavenly Imperial Garden.

The children were not asleep. They rushed up to hug Qiao An. Ever since Huo Xiaoran’s accident, the children had become especially sensible after seeing their mother cry a few times.

They had to take care of Qiao An every day and make her happy.

Qiao An hugged the children and only then felt that she should work hard to get back on her feet.

“Mommy. They said I’m not your precious daughter?” Joey suddenly cried with red eyes.

Qiao An stared at her blankly. “Joey, who told you that?”

Angel said, “Uncle Xiao brought us to his house to play today. We heard it from Uncle Xiao and Grandma Xiao. Grandma said that it’s too hard for Mommy to take care of three children alone and work. She wants Uncle Xiao to bring Sister Joey back. She said that Sister is a child of the Xiao family after all.”

Qiao An was dumbfounded.

She didn’t expect the children to overhear this.

Joey nestled in her mother’s arms and cried her heart out.

...

“Mommy, I don’t want to go back to the Xiao family. I only want Mommy.”

Qiao An patted the child’s back gently and comforted her. “Joey, Mommy won’t leave you. Don’t worry. I will be your mommy for the rest of your life.”

Since then, Joey had become clingy.

She wanted to hug her mommy to sleep at night.

Angels loved to fight for favor, so both daughters accompanied their mother.

The next day, after Qiao An sent the children to kindergarten, she came to the Xiao family and took the initiative to talk to Xiao Ming about Joey’s custody.

“Brother Xiao Ming, Joey has been with me since she was young. In order not to make her feel inferior, I’ve always raised her like a biological daughter. She’s also always thought that I was her biological mother. So this makes her very emotionally dependent on me.”

“I came today to ask for your opinion. Do you have to let Joey acknowledge her roots?”

The elders of the Xiao family looked at each other.

“Well…”

Uncle Xiao said, “Since he’s a child of the Xiao family, he should be raised by the Xiao family. An’an, Xiao Ming has already returned home. There’s no reason for us to trouble you to help me raise Joey.”
