Capítulo 1333: Chapter 1329: Arrest Her
“This M Country is really not a good place to stay, we’ll leave once we’ve healed.” The old lady was still a bit shaken. It’s a time of peace now, and at least in S Country, such an incident wouldn’t typically happen.
Her granddaughter’s good news was imminent, yet something like this happened. It’s quite frustrating to think about.
“Alright, we’ll leave immediately.” Qiao Xiaren comforted her grandmother, telling her not to worry too much.
The old lady and Qiao Lang didn’t plan on leaving; they intended to stay with her until she returned home. The events of these past few days were too shocking, and they didn’t feel at ease without properly looking after Qiao Xiaren.
After spending a week recovering in the hospital, the wounds were slowly healing, and the potion was quite effective. Seeing the skin almost fully restored to its previous state, Si Limo finally allowed the doctor to discharge her from the hospital.
Without delay, Si Limo booked a flight, and the group returned home directly.
After what happened a week ago, returning to this familiar airport again, Qiao Xiaren felt somewhat mixed emotions. Well, though it was a bit distressing at the time, at least she wasn’t severely injured.
Upon returning, Qiao Xiaren went straight back to the Qiao Family.
At this moment, An Yuqian, upon hearing the news that her daughter was about to return to the country, didn’t feel much joy but rather a sense of anxiety and fear.
Why did she come back so fast?
Her feelings towards her daughter were complicated.
On one hand, she was her own flesh and blood, and she did have a mother’s love for the child. However, compared to the Lan Family and Lan Xinhan to whom she devoted herself fully, she naturally favored the Lan Family.
A few days ago, hearing about Qiao Xiaren being attacked in M Country, she felt somewhat saddened.
No, she couldn’t be entangled by these inexplicable emotions; her husband was still more important!
Thinking about what she had to do, An Yuqian immediately perked up.
Old Master had seemed to loosen his guard on her a bit these days. Initially, she thought of waiting a few more days to make her move, but it looked like there was no time left!
Once her daughter returned, she wouldn’t have any more opportunities to act!
The most troublesome in the Qiao Family was probably this child of hers.
After pondering, An Yuqian came downstairs and directly turned into the old master’s study. She had just inquired with the servants and learned that the old master went to see Old Master Si today, so he wasn’t home.
This was a perfect opportunity to strike!
An Yuqian entered the study and gently closed the door. She tiptoed forward and began rummaging through the things on the desk. Her heart was pounding frantically as she nervously searched for what she needed.
Suddenly, something fell off the desk.
An Yuqian’s gaze dropped down, revealing the document Lan Xinhan had mentioned!
She had just crouched down when a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind: “Bitten by a snake once 20 years ago, do you think I’d fall for it 20 years later?”
Hearing the sudden voice, An Yuqian’s pupils contracted sharply, and the things in her hand dropped straight down. She turned around in disbelief to see the old master’s stern face, and she collapsed onto the floor.
“Old master…”
“Are you curious why I’m at home?”
The old master walked over with a cane, a hint of amusement hidden in his eyes: “20 years ago, you used my son to gain my trust. Do you think we would still trust you now?”
“Old master, I… listen to me, I didn’t do it on purpose… I…”
“Come here, arrest this woman for me!”
