Chapter 693: Chapter 692_1 Chapter 693: Chapter 692_1 Regardless, An Yuqian wanted to give it a try.
Watching Lanlan’s departing figure, An Yuqian walked while pulling up Qiao Xiaren’s phone number, finding that several calls in a row wouldn’t go through. Without a doubt, Xiaren had blocked her number.
If she couldn’t reach her over the phone, the only option left was to go to the Qiao Family’s residence.
After all, she was her biological mother. It wouldn’t be too much to ask to see her own daughter, and the old man wouldn’t stand in her way.
After tidying herself up a little, An Yuqian drove straight to the Qiao Family house. It had been many years since she returned, and her feelings were rather mixed.
She parked her car at the entrance of the Qiao Family’s house and stood outside the door with her handbag, taking a cautious look around before ringing the doorbell.
Maid Fang came out to see a rather young woman who looked vaguely familiar. Upon closer examination, wasn’t this An Yuqian, the former wife of the Qiao Family?
Did she have the audacity to show up here?
Maid Fang hesitated and did not open the door, instead, she reported to the old man.
Hearing about the visitor, the old man’s expression darkened slightly, but he did not stop it: “Since she is here to see the young lady, let her in. Just let her take a quick look and leave.”
Mr. Si knew from the situation that it seemed to be the ex-daughter-in-law of the Qiao Family who remarried, who is also Xiaren’s biological mother.
Qiao Xiaren didn’t expect An Yuqian to come looking for her in person, instinct telling her that this couldn’t be good news.
After handing the freshly picked grapes in the basket to the maid, Qiao Xiaren walked towards An Yuqian.
Just as Qiao Xiaren came over, An Yuqian started talking somewhat impatiently: “Xiaren, your mother has something to say to you. Can we chat somewhere else?”
“If Mrs. Lan has something to say, say it now! Where we chat won’t change a thing.”
Qiao Xiaren stood there, her figure upright, without a single superfluous expression on her face.
The cold and indifferent tone choked An Yuqian up for a moment, and she adjusted her hair somewhat awkwardly: “I saw the news and know that you’ve publicized your love affair with Si Limo. Have you completely settled on him?”
Qiao Xiaren did not answer her, but just looked on silently at the person in front of her, her eyes still cold.
An Yuqian couldn’t hold back any longer and, somewhat emotionally, went up to grab Qiao Xiaren’s hand: “Xiaren, promise your mother you’ll leave Si Limo, okay? Leave him, and there’ll be better men. Can I beg you?”
“Beg me?” Qiao Xiaren suddenly found it somewhat amusing and said in a low voice, “Who do you think you are, begging me? So if you beg me, I have to agree? You want me to leave Si Limo? On what grounds?”
What she hated most were people who dictated how her life should be.
An Yuqian spoke softly: “But Lanlan came home crying, she’s very upset. From childhood to adulthood, whether it’s the Lan Family or people in the circle, everyone has decided she will marry Si Limo. Xiaren, for the sake of your mother…”
“Your daughter is upset and distressed, so I should break up with my boyfriend, why should I?” Qiao Xiaren suddenly chuckled softly, as if she had heard a huge joke.
Is this woman born with a misaligned brain, or is she lacking a few parts?
“Can’t you just give it up this once?” An Yuqian’s eyes were soft and pleading, her voice somewhat urgent, “Xiaren, can you consider your mother for once? My position in the Lan Family isn’t high. If I can establish a good relationship with Lanlan, then Xinhan won’t be stuck in the middle…”
Everyone else was considered, and Qiao Xiaren didn’t know whether to call this mother meticulous or ridiculously absurd.
You keep saying you’re my mother, but have you ever asked me? Have you ever cared about me? Have you ever considered me at all?
Qiao Xiaren looked at An Yuqian with icy, piercing eyes and felt a sudden burst of pain. As though those dormant aggressive instincts at the deepest part of her were being awakened.
