BXBX NOVEL Chapter 375 - 375 The Truth Emerges
Qiao An was dumbfounded.
She didn’t understand. What had gone wrong?
Huo Xiaoran had been examining Qiao An. Seeing that she had been having nightmares recently, he frowned and knew how much pressure she was under.
Huo Xiaoran said firmly, “Zhou Zhou, Joey is our daughter. It has nothing to do with the Xiao family. If you dare to leak a word to the public, we will no longer be brothers.”
Huo Zhou looked at Huo Xiaoran in surprise. “Xiaoran, how can you do this?”
Huo Xiaoran said fiercely, “Have you forgotten? This is our gentleman’s agreement.”
Huo Zhou was furious. “You’re helping the wicked. Xiao Ming is fooling around outside. Why should Qianqian keep her chastity for him?”
With that, Huo Zhou left aggressively.
After Huo Zhou left, Qiao An collapsed on the ground.
Huo Xiaoran went forward and held her hand, only to discover that it was cold. Huo Xiaoran was extremely worried about Qiao An. “An’an, if it’s so hard to keep a secret alone, why don’t you tell me? I can share your burden.”
Qiao An looked at Huo Xiaoran and pouted. In the end, she buried her head in his chest. “Brother Xiaoran, I seem to have forgotten something important. Let me think it over for two days. This thing is very important. I have to recall it as soon as possible.”
Huo Xiaoran carried Qiao An to the bedroom upstairs and gently placed her on the bed. “Then rest well. I’ll call you when it’s time to eat.”
“Yeah.”
Huo Xiaoran tiptoed away and gently closed the door.
Qiao An curled up in the corner of the bed and forced herself to calm down. To bravely recall the cruel past.
She tried her best to remember what she had seen in the cabin. The blurry faces gradually became clear.
In case she chose to forget those faces again, she jumped out of bed and went to the study. She spread out pen and paper and began to sketch their faces.
Her art skills were not strong, but she could draw the basic outline of the face and draw the most outstanding characteristics.
She drew five or six in a row. She photographed them with her camera, then burned the portraits. She had to find an opportunity to turn these murderous drug dealers in.
When she was done, she curled up in the corner again.
She had forgotten where she had left the chip that Qianqian had given her. At that time, Qianqian’s feat frightened her. She carried the child and the chip and staggered to a nearby farmer for help.
At that time, she was too afraid and flustered, so she couldn’t remember many details. Now that she’d calmed down and thought back carefully, she gradually pieced together the images from that time.
The woman in the farmer’s house was a very heartless person. She knelt on the ground and cried for her help, but the old woman said, “Our area is already very chaotic. There are murders all year round. I never interfere with outsiders.”
Qiao An could only break down. Fortunately, God had closed a door but opened another for her.
The farmer had a daughter who had returned from university and was very chivalrous. She immediately drove Qiao An to the nearby town hospital.
After Qiao An arrived at the hospital, she said to the doctor, “I’m going to give birth. Please send me to a better hospital. Otherwise, I won’t be able to keep my children. I have money on me, so you don’t have to worry about expenses.”
Although she was flustered at that time, she knew that she couldn’t expose that she was an outsider. She could feel that everyone around here was afraid of trouble.
She was so nervous that she trembled. Soon she fainted in the hospital.
When she woke up, she was already in the county hospital.
Joey was put in the incubator. The doctor told her that it was fortunate that she had arrived in time. If she had been a little later, Joey would have perished.
She jolted for most of the day and was completely relieved to hear such good news.
Later, she’d given birth to Ki Ki and Angel in the county hospital. She was glad she had a lot of money. With that money, she’d gotten the best treatment and protection she could.
After some time, she went to the provincial capital to recuperate.
Qiao An’s memory stopped.
Because the provincial hospital was the watershed of her memory. Her previous memories had always been after the provincial city, but there was no memory of the chip in those memories.
So where was her chip? Where did she lose it?
She thought about it for a long time, but there was no answer.
However, she discovered something especially strange. After she woke up in the provincial hospital, she kept thinking about enrolling Ki Ki to learn martial arts.
At that time, Ki Ki was just a child.
A bolt of lightning struck, and Qiao An instantly realized.
She’d wanted Ki Ki to be trained in martial arts because Ki Ki had secrets. She’d carved the chip’s list into Ki Ki’s tattoo.
All the obstructions seemed to have extended in all directions.
Qiao An stood up shakily.
She opened the study door and saw Huo Xiaoran looking at her with a haggard expression. “An’an, you’re finally out. You didn’t answer me no matter how I called you, and I was afraid I would disturb you.”
Qiao An smiled and hugged Huo Xiaoran. “I’m sorry. Brother Xiaoran, I’ve worried you.”
Huo Xiaoran sized her up and saw that her expression had relaxed. He guessed that she had already recalled something. Huo Xiaoran asked happily, “An’an, did you remember?”
Qiao An nodded.
“Then do you know what to do?”
Qiao An hesitated for a moment before looking at Huo Xiaoran sincerely. “Brother Xiaoran, I provoked a group of people I shouldn’t have. Perhaps it will bring you a lot of trouble…”
Huo Xiaoran suddenly pressed her lips. “I’ve already guessed it. Don’t say it. An’an, I’ll always be on your side. I’ll protect you and believe you. Do whatever you want. Just remember to protect yourself. For the sake of me and the children.”
Qiao An’s eyes filled with tears. “Brother Xiaoran, you’re so good.”
At night, the servants of the Xiao family came over. They invited Huo Xiaoran’s entire family to a family banquet.
Huo Xiaoran didn’t think too much about it and only asked for Qiao An’s opinion.
“Are you going?”
Qiao An’s face was solemn as she announced, “You will all stay at home. I’ll go.”
Huo Xiaoran was puzzled by her decision. “Why?”
Qiao An told him quietly, “Qianqian, who’s coming to force the marriage now, is fake.”
Huo Xiaoran was shocked. However, because he had always trusted Qiao An, her wisdom and careful analysis made Huo Xiaoran not question her conclusion.
Huo Xiaoran guessed that Qianaian was up to no good. How could he let Qiao An take the risk alone?
“An’an, I’ll go with you.”
“What about the children?”
Huo Xiaoran smiled slyly and said, “I have a way.”
He made a call. Twenty minutes later, there was an unexpected visitor at home.
A middle-aged man with a determined face and burning eyes.
Huo Xiaoran introduced him to Qiao An. “An’an, he’s my martial arts teacher. I’m afraid you can’t find anyone better than him in the entire capital.”
