614 Sowing Discord, Unrelated Bloodline

Lu Xiaoyun ran to her mother in a panic and sowed discord. “Mom, did you know that Qiao An just came to our Lu family?”

The Second Madam immediately became angry. “How dare she come?”

Lu Xiaoyun tugged at her mother and said, “Qiao An even went to see Grandpa. Moreover, she brought back some news. Mom, so Uncle is still alive…”

A crack appeared on the Second Madam’s face. “You mean your father’s biological brother?”

!!
“That’s right, Mom. It’s not like you don’t know that Grandpa misses him very much, and he’s always exaggerated that Uncle is a dragon among men. Now that Uncle is back, Grandpa would do his best to make it up to him.”

The Second Madam comforted herself. “It’s only right for him to treat your uncle well.”

Lu Xiaoyun said, “Mom, Uncle is not alone. He even fathered a son and has grandchildren. If they go home, Mom, what status do you have?”

The Second Madam trembled as she felt a sense of crisis. “Yes, I can’t give birth, and you’re not my biological child.”

Lu Xiaoyun’s expression darkened.

Those words made her feel extremely depressed.

After some thought, the Second Madam said helplessly, “What can I do? I don’t have my own child, and your father hasn’t been patient with me these past few years. How can I fight with the first branch?”

Lu Yu’s voice suddenly sounded cold. “What are you talking about?”

Lu Xiaoyun trembled in fear.

Lu Yu glared at Lu Xiaoyun with a disappointed expression. “Xiaoyun, I really didn’t expect you to be so vicious. If Qiao An hadn’t reminded me today, how could I have been wary of you? I really didn’t expect you to be so scheming at such a young age. You even slandered Xiaoran. How could I be blind and believe you?”

Lu Xiaoyun was so frightened that she didn’t even tremble. “Dad, I didn’t wrong him. Don’t believe Qiao An.” Her eyes flickered as she spoke, and her entire body trembled like a quail. She looked pitiful.

The Second Madam roared at Lu Yu in exasperation, “Lu Yu, Xiaoyun is our daughter. You don’t believe her, but the words of an unrelated woman. How can you not make people’s hearts ache?”

Lu Xiaoyun apologized to Lu Yu pitifully. “Dad, I didn’t sow discord between you and the first branch. I’m just worried that Grandpa loves the first branch too much and will lose sight of us.”

Lu Yu raised his hand and slapped Lu Xiaoyun hard. “You said that you didn’t sow discord? Then what are your words now? Lu Xiaoyun, I’m warning you. If you dare to instigate your mother to do anything wrong again, I’ll sever our father-daughter relationship.”

Lu Xiaoyun immediately wailed.

She said sadly, “Dad, I know I’m not your biological child. You’ll never accept me in your heart. That’s why I’ve always been cautious. I’m afraid that if I do something wrong, you won’t want me. But even so, I still made you angry. Dad, if you don’t like me, it’s fine. You can sever our father-daughter relationship.”

With that, Lu Xiaoyun ran away crying.

Second Madam roared at her husband in exasperation, “Lu Yu, if you don’t want this daughter, you might as well not want me either.”

Lu Yu was speechless.

Although his wife had many shortcomings, she was still the person for whom he had chosen to go against his parents’ wishes. He had never thought of separating from her.

Second Madam only threatened him with divorce every time. It was always effective.

Lu Yu left with a sad expression.

When Qiao An returned to the Heavenly Imperial Garden, Huo Xiaoran’s expression changed when he saw the luxurious gifts prepared in her trunk.

After knowing that Qiao An had bought many gifts to visit the Lu family, Huo Xiaoran was worried that she would be rejected. Now that he saw the gifts, his guess had been confirmed.

Xiaoran couldn’t help but worry about Qiao An’s mood.

“An’an, they haven’t seen you?”

Qiao An rolled her eyes at him proudly and patted her chest. “If your wife takes action, one will be equivalent to two.”

Sisi also chimed in, “Sister Qiao An didn’t send anything. Old Master Lu got someone to invite her in respectfully.”

Huo Xiaoran opened his mouth in shock. “An’an, how did you do it?”

Sisi replied for Qiao An, “Qiao An stood at the entrance of the Lu family and proudly told the maid that she wanted to see Lu Ze.”

Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou praised. Huo Zhou said, “An’an, you’re really something.”

Qiao An leaned into Huo Xiaoran and whispered, “I want to give Dad a surprise. I’ve already invited Grandpa to this banquet.”

Huo Xiaoran couldn’t stop smiling. “Okay.”

Huo Zhou was concerned about something else. “An’an, did Old Master Lu express his help to the Angel Group?”

Huo Xiaoran’s handsome face darkened as he glared at Huo Zhou unhappily. “I don’t need the Lu family’s support. This family recognition shouldn’t be so utilitarian.”

Huo Zhou muttered aggrievedly, “I’m just worried about your company.”

Huo Xiaoran slowed down and said to Huo Zhou earnestly, “Zhou Zhou, I can turn the tide.”

Qiao An smiled brightly. “I believe in Brother Xiaoran. Therefore, I also rejected the Lu family’s help.”

Xiao Ran sighed. “You’re my wife.”

Sisi suddenly looked nauseated. Huo Zhou said, “Did you see that? My wife is disgusted by your public display of affection!”

Qiao An’s face darkened. “Nonsense. In my opinion, could Sisi be pregnant?”

Huo Zhou’s face turned pale. He turned to look at Sisi. “Sisi?” His eyes shot out anticipation.

Sisi said in a daze, “I might have eaten something bad in the morning?”

Qiao An pulled Sisi into the house. “Follow me in.”

Then, she went to the bedroom, took out the remaining early pregnancy test kits from the drawer, and handed one to Sisi.

“Shall we test it?”

Sisi hesitated and finally entered the bathroom uneasily with the test kit.

Not long after, Sisi ran out excitedly and handed the test paper to Qiao An. “Sister An’an, is this… am I pregnant?”

Qiao An saw two bright red lines and said excitedly, “Sisi, that’s great. You’re pregnant.”

Sisi cried tears of joy.

‘I’m pregnant. I’m going to be a mother.’

Sisi hugged Qiao An and jumped up. “An’an, thank you. If it weren’t for you, Brother Zhou Zhou and I wouldn’t have reconciled. When I think about how I have a child with Brother Zhou Zhou, I feel that I have no regrets in my life.”

An’an quickly pressed Sisi down and reminded her, “The fetus is unstable in the first three months. You have to be careful not to affect the fetus.”

Sisi immediately became nervous. “Sister An’an, I’m so nervous. I don’t know how to be a good mother.”

An’an comforted her. “Relax. I’ll take care of everything. You just have to be a happy and worry-free pregnant woman.”
