Chapter 699: Chapter 698 Wrong Drawing Style_1 Chapter 699: Chapter 698 Wrong Drawing Style_1 Why is the old man so wary of Qiao Xiaren? Yong Xiaoman felt that she knew Qiao Xiaren’s situation better than anyone else. Even Bai Qiuqing looked down on this niece of hers. How could a lonely and powerless girl fight against a woman like Bai Qiuqing, let alone carry the entire weight of the Qiao Family?
As for men, she knew them best. A man’s affections could change quicker than turning a page in a book. Fond of one woman today, another tomorrow.
Those who are still sticking together will become more ruthless than anyone else when the time comes to turn their backs.
Lan Lan, on her last breath, was unexpectedly released by Qiao Xiaren. One second Lan Lan saw nothing but darkness, and the next she had fallen heavily to the ground, coughing uncontrollably.
After several minutes of recovery, fresh air was finally filling her lungs again, easing her discomfort.
“Old man, if you want a truce, it’s simple, I have a few requests. If you can’t fulfill them, I will definitely not let this matter rest.”
The old man’s eyes darken, “Speak.”
“First, I hate it when other women maliciously appear around my boyfriend. Therefore, I am warning Miss Lan again, do not let me see you around Limo again, or I will not hesitate to hit you.”
Dominant, arrogant, presumptuous.
Master Lan was taken aback for a moment, then felt a wave of depression wash over him.
Si Limo gave a half-smile, though his grin was somewhat cold. “Old man, you’d best remember this rule. I also dislike having such troubles around me.”
Yes, he always preferred to keep things simple and direct.
The old man shifted his gaze from Lan Lan and nodded, “That’s easy, what’s the second request?”
“For the second request, I need Lan Lan to apologize to me personally.”
The old man hesitated slightly; he wasn’t unaware of his granddaughter’s proud temperament. Asking her to apologize seemed more difficult than reaching the sky.
He was in quite a headache.
Seeing Lan Lan choking under Qiao Xiaren’s feet, Yong Xiaoman couldn’t care about anything else and rushed to help her daughter up.
“Lanlan, are you okay?”
“Mo…mom!” Seeing her mother standing before her, Lan Lan burst into tears and threw herself into Yong Xiaoman’s arms.
There was a moment when she truly believed she would never see her mother again.
“It’s alright now, dear. Your grandfather will definitely not let that woman get away with this.”
At the moment, Lan Lan was like a broken rag doll, leaning weakly on Yong Xiaoman.
With her eyes shining brightly, Qiao Xiaren stepped forward and looked down at Lan Lan as if she were a queen, “Apologize!”
She crossed her arms, displaying her authority. Her gaze, piercing like needles, held a sharpness that left no room for escape.
With those two words, Lan Lan felt an intense sense of fear. The powerful aura around her forced her to lower her head.
Hearing Lan Lan easily issue an apology, the old man nearly lost it.
His granddaughter…what went wrong with her today?
Master Lan knew that he shouldn’t be thinking this way, but he was struck dumb. In his heart, he was truly shocked.
Yong Xiaoman and Lan Xinhan were naturally unhappy seeing their daughter so wronged. They both held grievances towards An Yuqian.
Seeing An Yuqian crying incessantly, Lan Xinhan became frustrated.
She only knew how to cry, not how to do anything else. It seemed like she had left him with a big problem today.
“Isn’t it better to learn good manners early on? You need to suffer before you learn to fear.” Qiao Xiaren gave a dazzling smile. She didn’t spare the Lan family another glance, instead, she walked to Si Limo’s side, taking his arm in hers.
