Chapter 445: Chapter 445_1 Chapter 445: Chapter 445_1 She hadn’t fully enjoyed the privileges of being an heiress, nor had she had enough of the flattering admiration, yet her dream was suddenly shattered, turning into a complete joke!
The old master didn’t even glance at the stunned Qiao Anchu, instead he walked directly to Mr. and Mrs. Li Qiang and asked: “Tell me where my real granddaughter is. How did the necklace and letter end up in your hands?”
Li Cuihua started crying at once, “Master, I’m but a simple woman who can’t read or write. Years ago, I merely heard a story in the village. The next day, I found a plump baby girl with a letter and a necklace in her swaddling clothes. My husband and I didn’t give it much thought. Due to this wretched girl, we were incapable of raising another child, so we left them both with a Taoist priest in the village.”
The old master could guess the rest of the story.
Nothing but greed, replacing his granddaughter with their own daughter.
“What’s her name and where is she now?”
Li Cuihua’s eyes flickered, uncertain of how to respond. Mostly, she was afraid that if Qiao Xiaren entered the Qiao family, they wouldn’t be left alive.
“We don’t know. After we left her on the mountain, we stopped asking about her. We don’t know anything about her… The necklace on my wretched daughter was given by me later.” The old master’s expression darkened. It seemed he would have to return to Shanshui Town to investigate.
The old master thought as much, but at his side, Qiao Lin had a sudden realization, and he demanded loudly, “What did you just say? You left both girls with a Taoist priest?”
Li Qiang and his wife were baffled by Qiao Lin’s sudden excitement and nodded a little hesitantly.
“That’s it, how could I have missed it. It must be that girl… Dad, I know who she is! We found the Qiao Family’s missing heiress!” Qiao Lin suddenly drew a blank, momentarily forgetting her name, “What’s her name, why can’t I remember all of a sudden…”
At the crucial moment, Uncle Qiao dug his own trap.
The old master was almost dying of anxiety!
“Her name is Qiao Xiaren.”
A deep and magnetic voice suddenly echoed through the entire hall. Hearing the name, Qiao Anchu was taken aback and looked over incredulously.
The first thing she noticed wasn’t Qiao Xiaren, but the man beside her. A simple white shirt and pants, a classic male attire. Yet, his elegance and nobility were intimidating.
Is this-Qiao Xiaren’s boyfriend? Their intimacy indicated a profound relationship.
Didn’t she like Ye Mohan? Why could she accept another man now?
All eyes turned to them. The man and woman effortlessly captured everyone’s attention. The tall woman’s extraordinary beauty and regal aura almost suffocated the people present.
Everyone was stunned.
Si Limo held a report in his hand and said indifferent, “This is the DNA test result of Xiaren and Master Lan. It shows a 99.99% parent-child match. Xiaren is the granddaughter of the Qiao family.”
So, Qiao Xiaren is the heiress of the Qiao family?
Shangguan Ye and the others had met Qiao Xiaren before and didn’t lose their composure like the others. What surprised him immensely, however, was that Qiao Xiaren was the heiress of the Qiao family!
Turns out, everything was destiny. He originally met Xiaren because of Shi Ruo, and due to Si Limo, he got to know her even better.
