Xiao Yue was so excited that she felt indignant for Huo Xiaoran. “Qiao An, why do you hate my cousin? My cousin treats you so well and has saved you several times. He loves you with all his heart, but he still can’t warm your heart. Is your heart made of stone?”

In the face of Xiao Yue’s condemnation, Qiao An was ashamed. Her tears rolled down silently. When she reached out to wipe them, Xiao Yue, who was spouting nonsense, was shocked.

“Sister Qiao An, did I make you cry? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to,” Xiao Yue said apologetically.

Qiao An raised the back of her hand and wiped her tears.

“Your cousin Xiaoran is knowledgeable, talented, and so good-looking. He’s also so warm and considerate. Which girl doesn’t like him?”

“But you clearly don’t like him? I heard about your relationship. You and Cousin Xiaoran were each other’s first love. You were in love for six years, but after you rushed to the capital, you fell in love with Li Zecheng. Unfortunately, Li Zecheng is a scumbag. Qiao An, you must have regretted giving up on my cousin when you were with him, right?”

Qiao An’s eyes were scarlet. No one had ever been as persistent as Xiao Yue to get to the bottom of things. She dug out all the secrets that she had sealed in her heart and hung them under the sun.

“Xiao Yue, I don’t despise the poor.” Qiao An’s voice was weak.

Xiao Yue looked at her doubtfully. “But even Cousin Xiaoran thinks so. Is there anything wrong?”

Qiao An’s eyes were desolate. “I just mistook one for the other.”

Xiao Yue was dumbfounded. “What do you mean?”

“You mistook Li Zecheng for my cousin Xiaoran?”

Qiao An stared at her in a daze, her eyes instantly dyed red like a poignant blood lotus.

“Not only did Li Zecheng pretend to be Brother Xiaoran, but he also slandered his character. He made me misunderstand that Brother Xiaoran is a playboy.”

Xiao Yue opened her mouth in disbelief, afraid that she would scream, and covered her mouth tightly with her hand.

Qiao An spoke eloquently. “If I had known that Brother Xiaoran was the Angel Thunderbolt Blade I loved, even at the wedding, I should have eloped with him.”

Xiao Yue asked in confusion, “Then why didn’t you get back together with Cousin after you divorced Li Zecheng? Cousin has been waiting for you?”

The weakness in Qiao An’s eyes turned cold. “Actually, after I got a divorce, I went to look for Brother Xiaoran. But someone sowed discord between us. I misunderstood Brother Xiaoran…”

When she thought of how Lu Mo had called her a second-hand product and how Li Changhai had hit her with a car and framed Huo Xiaoran, she was so angry that her entire body trembled.

Xiao Yue seemed to have noticed something. She asked curiously, “Who sowed discord in your relationship?”

“Lu Mo and Li Changhai,” Qiao An said through gritted teeth.

Xiao Yue found it unbelievable and said resentfully, “They? Sister Qiao An, with your combined intelligence, you can crush the other with an absolute advantage. How did you fall for it?”

Qiao An said, “At that time, I had just divorced Li Zecheng. I was covered in scars and had yet to recover fully. At that time, I was as thin as a paper effigy and had nothing. This made me feel inferior. So when she called me a secondhand good and said I was not worthy of Brother Xiaoran, I was so ashamed that I fled in panic.”

“Later, when I was meeting your cousin at the airport, Li Changhai drove his car and hit me. Before I fainted, Li Changhai told me that Huo Xiaoran wanted me dead. Because he’s now the famous and powerful President Huo, my scandal with him can’t be discovered. So he wanted to kill me to silence me.”

Xiao Yue didn’t expect Qiao An to have so many unbearable experiences. She was furious.

“Aiya, Sister Qiao An, Brother Xiaoran is the person who doesn’t care about fame and fortune the most. How can he kill you for the sake of fame and fortune? But then, what ugly thoughts do you have about Cousin?”

Qiao An suddenly laughed at herself.

“At that time, I was pregnant with your cousin’s child and was really stupid for three years. So I didn’t think so much at all. I just felt that since he asked me out, only he knew my whereabouts. Now that I think about it, Brother Xiaoran seems to have always been a person who doesn’t care about protecting his privacy. I really didn’t think things through when I convicted him with such a narrow reason.”

Xiao Yue sighed. “No wonder you hated my cousin so much these past few years.”

Qiao An sighed dejectedly. “I hated him for three years for nothing.”

Xiao Yue sighed. “Our Huo family witnessed how hard it was for our cousin. Therefore, we believed that you abandoned him ruthlessly. We never expected that in the past few years, your family and friends would definitely be feeling the same way. You had believed that my cousin was cold-blooded and ruthless. Who would have thought that all of this was a misunderstanding?”

Qiao An suddenly looked serious. “Yueyue, I’ve told you the truth about all of this. I hope you can help Brother Xiaoran.”

Xiao Yue said heroically, “Sister Qiao An, I like you very much. You’re born kind, but you also have your own edge. Don’t be timid and don’t retreat. I’ll do whatever you ask me to do in the future.”

Qiao An said, “The only person I’m worried about now is your cousin. He’s engaged to Lu Mo, and Lu Mo will have many opportunities to meet him in the future. Brother Xiaoran doesn’t know that the person beside him is a poisonous snake. I’m worried that he’ll be hurt if he falls in love with her.”

Xiao Yue smacked her lips and said, “You want me to drive a wedge between them?”

Qiao An said proudly, “Although I disdain using those shameful tricks, I can only give Lu Mo a taste of her own medicine.”

Xiao Yue raised her fist excitedly. “All the best. I’ll definitely stand firmly on your side.”

Qiao An smiled sweetly. “By the way, what brings you to my place today?”

Only then did Xiao Yue remember why she had come to find Qiao An.

“Sister Qiao An, the movie we’re preparing is going to be shot after the New Year. I’m telling you in advance that you have to be ready to enter the production team.”

Qiao An said, “Where is the shooting location?”

“Yudu Mountain in the suburbs.”

“How long will the shoot take?”

“Three months.”

Qiao An glanced at the children on the sofa. “I have to make proper arrangements for the children.”

Xiao Yue deliberately stayed for dinner to taste Qiao An’s cooking.

Qiao An’s dishes, like her, looked perfect. But when she took a bite, it was either raw or bitter, salty or bland.

Xiao Yue put down her bowl and said, “How can you eat this dark cuisine?”

However, the children looked at her innocently. “Mommy’s food is clearly delicious.”

Xiao Yue was impressed. “How did you brainwash them?”

Qiao An said, “Just put an end to the delicacies outside.”

Xiao Yue was dumbfounded by the scheming Qiao An.

At this moment, Xiao Yue’s phone suddenly rang. Xiao Yue took it out and glanced at Qiao An. “It’s Cousin Xiaoran.”
