Chapter 606 - Different Genes
606 Different Genes
Qiao An looked straight at Huo Xiaoran, waiting for him to report the results. Unexpectedly, when Huo Xiaoran saw the results, he looked guilty.
“An’an… this…”
Qiao An silently reached out her hand. Huo Xiaoran handed the test report to her reluctantly and looked at her in panic.
Qiao An couldn’t help but chuckle when she saw the test report.
“An’an, what are you laughing at?” Huo Xiaoran asked fearfully.
Qiao An smiled. “Fortunately, you barely resemble her. Otherwise, I should really examine our relationship.”
Huo Xiaoran was stunned. “You’re happier that my genes are different from hers?” He couldn’t figure out this logic.
Qiao An closed her eyes to rest. “A scheming girl like her is stupid. Do you want to be like her?”
Huo Xiaoran laughed.
“So that’s what you think?”
Qiao An had been in a bad mood for the past few days, but today, she smiled rarely, so Huo Xiaoran relaxed a little.
However, when he thought of how Father Qiao had reminded Qiao An to love herself more and to love others less, and how Qiao An was willing to return her enthusiasm to work, Huo Xiaoran couldn’t be happy.
After all, did this mean that Qiao An was consciously reducing her love and expectations for him?
After Lu Xiaoyun was discharged from the hospital, she came to look for Huo Xiaoran arrogantly. She said to Huo Xiaoran arrogantly, “I heard that my father and grandfather looked for you. I know that your company needs the sponsorship of our Lu family, but you’re too ungrateful and look down on me, the eldest daughter of the Lu family. I’ll make my grandfather and father never help you. When your Angel Group collapses, let’s see if you still have the right to be arrogant.”
Huo Xiaoran was very unhappy that she had come to see him rashly. “Lu Xiaoyun, didn’t your father tell you to stay away from me?”
Lu Xiaoyun glared at Qiao An. “Miss Qiao, you must not have expected this. You’re unwilling to give him to me, and I adhere to the principle of destroying him if I can’t get him. I want you to regret your decision. You’ll only get a useless man.”
Qiao An looked at Huo Xiaoran. “Is this the girl you saved?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “An’an, don’t tease me. In the future, I won’t easily give my love to anyone.” He walked to Qiao An’s side, half begging and half aggrieved. “I know I was wrong this time. I didn’t read people well. I met bad people and was overly kind. An’an, can you forgive me?”
Qiao An stroked his head and teased, “I hope you learn your lesson.”
Huo Xiaoran turned around, his handsome face covered in frost. He said to Lu Xiaoyun, “Get lost. If you appear in front of me again, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”
Lu Xiaoyun was furious.
She glared fiercely at Huo Xiaoran and left.
After returning home, Lu Xiaoyun began to wheedle to her adoptive mother. “Mom, Huo Xiaoran is simply too much of a bully. You have to stand up for me.”
Her adoptive mother, the Second Madam of the Lu family, had special feelings for this child. Therefore, she doted on her and went along with her in every way. “How did he bully my girl? Tell me.”
Lu Xiaoyun added fuel to the fire. “He started to provoke me and seduce me. At first, he was gentle and considerate to me. When I fell in love with him and was willing to be with him, he suddenly ignored me one day. Later on, I found out that he had a family. His wife found out about him and quarreled with him. She even threatened him with death.”
“He’s ignoring me now and even telling me that he approached me because he values our Lu family’s business. His company originally needed our Lu Corporation to save it.”
Mrs. Lu was furious and slapped the coffee table. “Such a good-for-nothing man relied on a woman to make a career and has no sense of responsibility for his family. He even tried to use our Lu Corporation. I have to teach such a person a lesson.”
Lu Xiaoyun was secretly delighted.
Second Madam comforted Lu Xiaoyun. “Don’t worry, I’ll tell your father to suppress Huo Xiaoran tonight. We can’t let his company have a chance to rise.”
Second Madam was a bold woman. She gave her husband a strong pillow talk. At first, Father Lu was very hesitant. He said with concern, “I’ve already seen that Huo Xiaoran. He doesn’t look as unbearable as Xiaoyun said. Moreover, his attitude is very unyielding. He doesn’t seem to like my Xiaoyun that much. He even took the initiative to mention that he doesn’t want to have any contact with our Lu family. I think it’s best to end this matter here.”
Second Madam wheedled, “Hubby, you know that Xiaoyun’s background is pitiful. My sister gave birth to her and she died in childbirth. My brother-in-law died because of this. From this, it can be seen that Xiaoyun should be a girl who values relationships. My sister and brother-in-law’s bloodline flows in her. Now that she’s being played by Huo Xiaoran, if we don’t help her vent her anger, I’m afraid she’ll accumulate feelings and be trapped by love.”
Mr. Lu nodded silently.
He seemed to have made a decision.
Next, Li Zecheng’s Li Kang Corporation and the Lu family’s Lu Corporation started a crazy pursuit of the Angel Group. Huo Xiaoran was tired from dealing with Qiao An’s cold war and didn’t have the mood to manage the company, but the Angel Group encountered unprecedented difficulties.
At first, Huo Xiaoran only hid the company’s situation from Qiao An and pretended to be nonchalant every day to accompany Qiao An 24 hours a day.
Later on, Huo Zhou couldn’t help but come to Qiao An and Xiaoran’s house angrily and reprimand Xiaoran angrily. “Huo Xiaoran, if you were in ancient times, you would definitely be a fatuous ruler. The company is about to fall, but you still have the mood to chat and laugh with your wife every day?”
Only then did Qiao An know about the Angel Group’s predicament. She looked at Huo Xiaoran suspiciously. “Is it really hopeless?”
Huo Xiaoran shook his head.
Huo Zhou complained to Qiao An, “Hopeless? He didn’t spend his time saving the company.”
Huo Xiaoran said indifferently, “I can do it again if the company is gone, but if my wife runs away, I’ll really be finished.”
Only then did Qiao An know why Huo Xiaoran was distracted.
Huo Zhou criticized Qiao An. “An’an, you can argue with him anytime. Can you wait for him to save the company first? If this continues, the Angel Group will declare bankruptcy in less than three months?”
Qiao An looked at Huo Xiaoran…
“Don’t you want the company anymore?”
Huo Xiaoran stammered, “An’an, in my eyes, the company is not as important as you.”
Huo Zhou undermined him again. “Nonsense. How did the Angel Group rise? Have you forgotten? It was so difficult to start a business back then. You didn’t rest day and night and almost lost your life.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Huo Zhou speechlessly. “The founding of the Angel Group was also because of Qiao An.”
