Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Who knows who will win until the very end? Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Who knows who will win until the very end? One of his hands patted his daughter’s shoulder, while the other pointed at Mrs. An and An Chen as he rebuked them harshly, “You two fools, if you dare to obstruct the police again, you’ll both be kicked out of the An Family!”
The room fell silent for a moment.
Mrs. An and An Chen’s hearts trembled, and they dared not speak any further.
Everyone watched Chairman An, who was seething with anger.
He continued, “Xiaolan, go and assist the police with their investigation. Rest assured, if you have indeed been wronged, I will ensure justice for you.”
An Xiaolan stared blankly at Chairman An, realizing that in the end, this was how the head of the An Family treated her.
All her filial devotion, as if he were her own father, was in vain.
Two police officers stepped forward, stood in front of An Xiaolan, and gestured for her to come with them.
Her face filled with despair, An Xiaolan followed the officers out.
In her heart, however, she loathed An Xiaotong to the extreme.
And Gu Qiaoqiao, Qin Yize, and Du Tian—these three were the most detestable.
If it weren’t for them, An Xiaotong would be suffering untold hardships as a bride in some remote mountain village right now.
She clenched her teeth tightly.
Until the very end, no one knows who will be the victor.
An Xiaolan was led away.
Mrs. An looked anxiously at Chairman An, but she too knew that there were some things that were not suitable to be said here.
And An Chen furrowed his brows.
His father’s words deterred him from rash action, yet he could not agree with them.
Xiaolan had always spoken of Xiaotong’s virtues in his presence; how could she harm Xiaotong?
And where would she get the power to do such a thing?
He opened his mouth, but on seeing the resentful look in An Xiaotong’s eyes, he shut it again and chose to remain silent.
Gu Qiaoqiao had not expected to encounter such an incident,
nor had she anticipated the police to act so swiftly.
After exchanging a few words with An Xiaotong, she took her leave.
She believed that the astute and wise Chairman An would protect his own daughter first, whether the accusations were true or false.
Gu Qiaoqiao was unaware of the inside story behind An Xiaolan’s adoption but always felt that Mrs. An’s affection for her was genuine.
The sadness, anxiety, and grief were real.
This was quite different from her reaction when she heard that something might have happened to An Xiaotong the day before.
After all, Old Patriarch Gu was the same—regardless of what happened in the past, driving his own son away was true, as was raising someone else’s son.
Sometimes, some people are beyond reason.
And one shouldn’t try to understand them with the logic of a normal person.
Gu Qiaoqiao left the hospital room.
Outside in the corridor, Qin Yize and Du Tian were talking.
By the looks of it, their relationship was surprisingly good.
In her last life, she had never come into contact with Qin Yize’s friends.
She left the Imperial Capital after the Spring Festival.
She had heard of Chu Chengfeng, but not of Du Tian.
But in this life, because of those two matches, she had become familiar with them.
After exchanging a few words with Du Tian, Gu Qiaoqiao left the hospital with Qin Yize.
Upon getting into the jeep, Gu Qiaoqiao became somewhat pensive.
It was clear that Du Tian had a liking for An Xiaotong.
And the Du Family’s influence in the Imperial Capital was not small. Even though she was reborn, without any contact with her, those people’s fates would still follow their predestined trajectories.
Therefore, in the previous life, at the end of February 1986 during the school winter break, An Xiaotong was abducted and sold into a remote mountain.
After that, there was no news of her.
What about Du Tian then?
Given the capabilities of the Du Family and the An Family, couldn’t they find just one An Xiaotong?
The least they could do was ask Qin Yize for help.
His abilities were certainly sufficient to locate An Xiaotong, just like he found her.
