Chapter 355: Falling off a Building

In the face of Father Lu’s exasperated accusation, Qiao An laughed instead of being angry. She stared into Father Lu’s red eyes and asked, “No matter if she’s at a low point or in adversity, Uncle Lu’s daughter has always put on the airs of the dean’s daughter. No wonder when she didn’t have the ability to earn a better life for herself, she kept thinking about unethical methods and tried to take a shortcut. Uncle, I have to say that your doting method of raising children is really admirable.”

Mr. Lu’s eyes widened.

Qiao An continued leisurely, “Whose life is smooth-sailing? Whether it’s me or Brother Xiaoran, we’ve both fallen into the dust and relied on our tenacity to bloom. That’s how we can continue for the rest of our lives. If Miss Lu Mo falls into the mud and can only be trampled on, no one can help her.”

Huo Xiaoran smiled at Qiao An. Qiao An’s eloquence made him extremely proud.

In the end, Mr. Lu lowered his head and stopped talking.

Seeing that no one was defending her, Lu Mo fell silent. In the end, her mind worked. No matter what, she should reestablish contact with Huo Xiaoran first.

“Senior, Qiao An is right. I shouldn’t pursue an easy life. I’ll take this job. Then, during the interview, I hope Brother Xiaoran can introduce me.”

Huo Xiaoran said coldly, “Qiao An was the one who helped you find the job.”

Qiao An said enthusiastically, “Lu Mo, I have your phone number. I’ll contact you when I have news. That’s all.”

Lu Mo didn’t want to contact Qiao An. Her expression immediately turned ugly.

Huo Xiaoran couldn’t wait to pull Qiao An away.

Lu Mo watched them get into the car and saw Huo Xiaoran take the initiative to kiss Qiao An passionately. At that moment, her heart turned cold.

So Huo Xiaoran was not cold.

He was so horny in front of Qiao An.

He really didn’t love her.

Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran returned home. While Huo Xiaoran was bathing, Qiao An quickly made a bowl of nutritious noodles with poached eggs, diced meat, and green vegetables for Huo Xiaoran.

It was almost dawn. Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran had just gone to bed to rest when the sky lit up.

Huo Xiaoran was in such a deep sleep that he did not wake up when his phone vibrated.

Qiao An picked up his phone and picked it up. She heard Li Zecheng’s heart-wrenching voice on the other end. “Uncle, I’m begging you. Come to the hospital quickly. My mother can’t take it anymore.”

Qiao An was stunned. But everything seemed to be traceable. When Third Madam apologized to her piously last night, she felt that something was wrong with her.

Qiao An looked at the sleeping Huo Xiaoran and couldn’t bear to disturb him. However, Li Zecheng’s voice trembled. “My mother jumped off a building.”

Qiao An’s heart thumped.

“I understand.” Her tone was subdued.

Li Zecheng recognized Qiao An’s voice. After a long silence, he suddenly said self-deprecatingly, “Qiao An, I’ve received my retribution.”

Qiao An said, “Don’t talk nonsense. Save her quickly. Your uncle and I will be right over.”

Li Zecheng thought that Qiao An would ignore Third Madam’s misery and even mock them. He didn’t expect Qiao An to comfort him.

He knew that was Qiao An’s self-restraint and kindness. He suddenly felt that missing Qiao An was the greatest loss of his life.

“Qiao An, thank you.”

Qiao An was stunned. When she realized what Li Zecheng’s gratitude was, she said indifferently, “Li Zecheng, human lives are the most important.”

With that, she hung up in a hurry.

However, Li Zecheng looked at the phone with tears in his eyes. Qiao An’s respect for life reminded him of the kidnapping a few years ago.

At that time, Qiao An had been kidnapped for six days. But he disregarded her fear and her safety.

He finally had an epiphany. From the beginning to the end, he had been the one to climb the social ladder.

On the other end, Qiao An was very reluctant to leave and woke Huo Xiaoran up.

Huo Xiaoran slowly opened his eyes and saw Qiao An close by. He pulled her into his arms and pressed her down.

“Do you know the consequences of waking me?”

Qiao An looked at him with a panicked expression. “Brother Xiaoran, Third Sister-in-law… jumped off a building.”

Huo Xiaoran’s face gradually lost color.

Then, he suddenly got up and jumped off the bed. His usual gentle and refined slow pace was completely gone. The vigor of a doctor saving the dying and helping the injured came.

As he changed his clothes, he instructed Qiao An, “An’an, don’t go to such an occasion. It’ll remind you of the bad things in the past. Just stay at home. I’ll go alone.”

Qiao An walked up to him and hugged him from behind. She buried her head in his broad back. “Brother, the fall from the ruins is no longer a nightmare for me. It’s a beautiful memory.”

Huo Xiaoran was stunned.

Qiao An said again, “If I didn’t jump off a building, I wouldn’t have been your patient and enjoyed your twenty-four-hour service. So don’t worry about agitating me.”

Huo Xiaoran was infected by her indifferent attitude. He turned around and hugged her. “That’s great, An’an. You’ve finally walked out of those dark years.”

Qiao An said, “With an authoritative expert like you, how can I not be well?”

“So, Brother Xiaoran, I’ll go with you.”

“Fine.”

After washing up, Huo Xiaoran didn’t even have time to eat breakfast before stepping on the accelerator and bringing Qiao An to the hospital.

Third Madam had already been sent to the emergency room. Outside the emergency room, Li Zecheng glared at Li Tingfeng with red eyes and clenched fists.

Li Tingfeng’s expression was very gloomy. He kept saying, “Why are you so stubborn? Why are you so stubborn?”

Li Zecheng said angrily to him, “You transferred the assets away cleanly. You turned my mother into a penniless pauper. You even threatened my mother that no one would fight the lawsuit for her. My mother was desperate and was forced by you to jump off a building.”

“She wants to tell outsiders about your ruthlessness in such a fierce way.”

Huo Xiaoran reprimanded coldly, “The entrance of the ward is not a place to quarrel. If you want to quarrel, go out.”

He was now in his prime and had lost his youthfulness. He already had the sharpness of a man.

His aura became sharper and sharper as the years passed.

With that, Li Zecheng and his father did not dare to say another word.

“What’s the situation inside?” Huo Xiaoran turned to ask Li Zecheng.

Li Zecheng was so sad that he could not speak.
