613 Elder Lu’s Joy
Old Master Lu was overjoyed. “Is my grandson alright?”
“He was found four years after he lost his memory,” Qiao An said.
Old Master Lu was pleasantly surprised. “In that case, my son and grandson are still alive?”
Qiao An smiled. “Yes, he’s well and so are your three great-grandchildren.”
Old Master Lu stood up in surprise. “Qiao An, is what you said true? Where are they? Can I see them?”
Qiao An stood up and took out an invitation from her bag. “Grandpa Lu, your grandson’s family is preparing to hold a banquet to celebrate the reunion. I hope Grandpa Lu can attend.”
Old Master Lu took the banquet card with trembling hands and said excitedly, “Yes, I’ll definitely go.”
On the invitation, Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran’s names were written. Lu Yu sensed something and questioned Qiao An, “Qiao An, this invitation clearly has your name and Huo Xiaoran’s written on it. Are you lying to us?”
The old man looked surprised.
Qiao An looked at Lu Yu. “Then is there a possibility that the person standing in front of you is your granddaughter-in-law? Of course, whether to acknowledge each other or not is in your hands.”
Old Master Lu swallowed. The original huge surprise was now a huge shock. “Qiao An, do you mean that Xiaoran is my grandson?”
Qiao An nodded solemnly. “Your son and his university classmate, Huo Xinping, were a couple. After Xinping got pregnant with Xiaoran, your son disappeared. Mother Xinping got pregnant out of wedlock and didn’t want Brother Xiaoran to live in the eyes of others, so she chose Old Master Li to be their guardian angel.”
“Who knew that the Li family was so ambitious that they swallowed all the assets Mother Xinping mother left for Brother Xiaoran and neglected him? After another Xinping died, Brother Xiaoran, unfortunately, suffered from depression. However, he was very strong and kind. He overcame difficulties and became a student of one of the world’s top universities.”
“Unfortunately…”
Qiao An glanced at Lu Yu. “The righteous Brother Xiaoran returned to acknowledge his ancestors and saved his cousin. However, his cousin had improper thoughts about him and slandered him.”
Lu Yu was stunned. “Xiaoyun doesn’t know how to lie.”
Qiao An said, “So, you’re sure Xiaoran lied?”
Qiao An smiled. “Brother Xiaoran’s original name is Li Xiaoran. He’s a surgeon. The fact that he established the Angel Group in university is enough to show that he’s talented and smart. He’s always been passionate about medicine. Do you think he came to approach you to ask for cooperation?”
“Hehe, Brother Xiaoran’s father, who can sacrifice himself for his countrymen; he is a person whose feelings value fame and fortune. You didn’t teach your daughter well, but you want to frame Xiaoran for abandoning her.”
Lu Xiaoyun suddenly ran in and said angrily, “Qiao An, how can you speak ill of me behind my back? This behavior is too shameful.”
Qiao An looked at her. “I, Qiao An, am not a flower raised in a greenhouse. I know my way around people. Do you expect me to be polite to an ingrate like you?”
“Qiao An, you’re the one who doesn’t believe that Huo Xiaoran provoked me. You blindly worship him.”
Qiao An chuckled. “You’re too confident in yourself. Lu Xiaoyun, it’s impossible for Brother Xiaoran to like a brainless and ungrateful woman like you.”
“You’re ignorant and incompetent to have gotten a ruffian for a boyfriend. What makes you think you can compare to me? My relationship with Brother Xiaoran is deep and for life.”
“Who would believe your nonsense? Then why were you jealous that day?”
“I wasn’t jealous. I was angry. I was angry that he valued kinship too much. He couldn’t differentiate between a human and a ghost and threw himself into it. Don’t worry, Brother Xiaoran did a genetic test for you. When he found out that you’re not of the Lu family’s bloodline, he was already filled with regret. He promised me that he would definitely put me and the children first in the future. In other words, I, Qiao An, have the final say on whether we want to acknowledge the Lu family.”
Lu Xiaoyun was furious.
“Who would believe you? If Huo Xiaoran really loves you so much, aren’t you going to ascend to the heavens?”
Qiao An took out the genetic test report from her bag and threw it to Lu Xiaoyun. “This is the genetic test Brother Xiaoran did for you and him. He thought that he could use this to prove his innocence to me. Who knew that you weren’t of the Lu family’s bloodline?”
Lu Xiaoyun’s face alternated between green and white. It had always bothered her that she was not of the Lu family’s bloodline. Because of this, she was always worried that Old Master Lu could not bear to hand over most of his assets to her.
In fact, Old Master Lu did not have any intention of letting her manage the family’s business. It was unclear if it was because Lu Xiaoyun was useless or if he was a little suspicious of Lu Xiaoyun’s bloodline.
Qiao An couldn’t be bothered to argue with them and said, “Even if Brother Xiaoran isn’t a child of the Lu family, he’s still Old Master Huo’s most treasured grandson. Even if the Angel Group collapses, he doesn’t have to do anything shocking for the Angel Group. After all, his moral standards can be said to be the ceiling in the business world.”
“Oh, and that Li Zecheng. He’s my ex-husband. Back then, he pretended to be Brother Xiaoran and married me. Moreover, four years ago, it was Brother Xiaoran who guided him into the Angel Group. Now, he’s repaying kindness with ingratitude. He’s really hateful.”
Lu Xiaoyun sneered. “Qiao An, the others you’re talking about are all ingrates. Why don’t you reflect on your own problems?”
Qiao An looked at Lu Xiaoyun. “As long as the Lu family pays attention to you, they should know how embarrassing you are outside.”
Lu Xiaoyun looked guilty.
Qiao An looked at Old Master Lu again. “I’m not here today to beg Grandpa Lu to invest in the Angel Group. You can open your eyes and wait to see how Huo Xiaoran counterattacks.”
With that, Qiao An smiled knowingly and left calmly.
Old Master Lu was in a daze for a long time before coming back to his senses.
He looked at Lu Yu uneasily. Lu Yu said, “Dad, I know you miss Big Brother, but whether what Qiao An said is true or not remains to be verified. What if she fabricated all of this?”
Old Master Lu said, “Send someone to investigate immediately. I want all the information about Huo Xiaoran.”
Lu Yu said, “Yes.”
A hint of worry appeared on Lu Xiaoyun’s face. At this moment, she was extremely worried that after the first branch returned home, their second branch would be replaced entirely by the first branch.
After all, the second branch did not have any other descendants. She was alone, and she was an adopted daughter. Now that the first branch was back, she had an even lower status.
