Chapter 331: Returning Home
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Lu Mo was treated in the hospital, she returned to the Lu family.
Mr. Lu had already moved out of his original villa and bought a three-bedroom apartment. When Lu Mo stood downstairs in the district and saw the towering building, her heart immediately turned cold.
When she saw Father Lu, she realized that the originally elegant and youthful Father Lu had a head of white hair now, as if he had aged ten years.
Lu Mo looked at him in surprise. Father Lu’s face was very dark as he said faintly, “This family is gone just like that. I was too shocked and couldn’t catch my breath for a moment, which is why I became like this.”
Lu Mo apologized with tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry, Dad. It’s all my fault for loving the wrong person and harming the Lu family.”
Mr. Lu said, “It’s all in the past. Come in.”
Lu Mo entered the room and Father Lu asked her to put her luggage in the study. “The master bedroom and second bedroom are occupied. Momo, you can only make do with the study.”
Lu Mo looked at Mr. Lu in shock. At this moment, the Lu family’s nanny, Auntie Feng, walked out of the kitchen. When Lu Mo saw Auntie Feng, she immediately understood. The second bedroom must have been given to Auntie Feng.
However, Lu Mo was very unhappy. Auntie Feng was only a nanny. What right did she have to let her stay in the study room while she, the nanny, got to stay in the second bedroom?
With this in mind, Lu Mo pulled a long face at Auntie Feng. She felt that Auntie Feng would tactfully give her the second bedroom.
In the past, Auntie Feng was very polite to Lu Mo. But now, when she saw Lu Mo, her expression was cold. She asked very coldly, “Miss, you’re back?”
Lu Mo was slightly stunned, but she quickly hid her anger.
She also understood her situation. She was now a street rat and everyone hated her. It was only right for Aunt Feng to despise her.

Aunt Feng didn’t move. She looked at her coldly.
Flames burned in Lu Mo’s eyes. Just as she was about to take the opportunity to flare up, Father Lu suddenly said, “Momo, do your own things in the future.”
Lu Mo shouted indignantly, “Dad, she’s our nanny. Isn’t she going to do anything?”
Mr. Lu glanced at Auntie Feng with a gentle gaze.
After a moment of silence, Mr. Lu explained, “She used to be our nanny, but not anymore.”
“What do you mean?”
“From now on, she’s your mother.”
Lu Mo widened her eyes in shock and asked in disbelief, “Dad, are you going to marry her? What about my mom?”
Mr. Lu said coldly, “Your mother has done so many wicked things and caused our Lu family to suffer so much. Do you think I can still be with her?”
Lu Mo stopped talking.
She also understood that no man could accept a woman cuckolding him.
Lu Mo squeezed out a few tears and said sadly, “Dad, my mother knows her mistake. Because she admitted her mistake with an extremely good attitude, the court reduced her sentence. Mom will be released from prison in a few years. When you marry another woman, my mother won’t be able to accept this fact.” She tried to reason with her father.
However, Mr. Lu had no feelings for Mrs. Lu at all. He only hated her now for ruining his life.
He said coldly, “Stop it. It’s impossible between us. I’ll commission a lawyer to deliver the divorce papers to her another day.”
Lu Mo felt her entire body turn cold. If Father Lu divorced her mother, it would be inappropriate for her to stay in the Lu family since she was not Father Lu’s biological daughter.
It seemed that she had to find a place to stay as soon as possible so that she could move out of here.
“I understand.” Lu Mo sighed.
In the Heavenly Imperial Garden, Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An came to the courtyard to gaze at the moon after coaxing the children to sleep.
However, the door of the villa suddenly rang. Qiao An was so frightened that her face turned pale as she looked at Huo Xiaoran in fear.
Huo Xiaoran shielded her and said, “An’an, stay here. I’ll go take a look.”
Huo Xiaoran came to the door and turned on the video phone. Seeing that a few elders of the Xiao family were gathered outside, Huo Xiaoran opened the door.
Xiao Yue and her parents, grandparents, asked Huo Xiaoran excitedly, “Where’s Qiao An?”
Huo Xiaoran’s expression darkened. “Why are you looking for her?”
Xiao Yue could tell that Huo Xiaoran was unhappy and quickly explained, “Cousin, don’t misunderstand. My father knocked a little too loudly. He’s a soldier to begin with, so his actions have always been very rough. But he doesn’t have any ill intentions. We came to look for Sister Qiao An so late because we have something important to consult her about.”
At this moment, Qiao An had already walked out. When Father Xiao saw Qiao An, his eagle eyes swept over her.
“You’re Qiao An?”
Qiao An nodded.

Qiao An was silent for a moment. Then she said calmly, “I saw him in a train a few years ago. I guess I met him once. That’s all. Not really familiar.”
Xiao Yue said excitedly, “An’an, my brother has been missing for a few days. It’s as if he has disappeared from the face of the earth. We’ve been looking for him everywhere. Phone, WeChat, we’ve tried all the ways to contact him, but we haven’t found him. If you know anything about my brother, you must tell us.”
Qiao An looked at their worried faces. At that moment, her heart ached.
She could understand how they felt, but she also remembered Xiao’s instructions. “From now on, just pretend we never knew each other.”
Qiao An’s long eyelashes lowered as she smiled bitterly. “I don’t know where he went. After all, I don’t know him well. He didn’t even tell those closest to him. How could he tell me?”
Xiao Yue said skeptically, “But isn’t my brother quite familiar with you?”
Qiao An shook her head in denial. “I really don’t know him that well.”
Xiao Yue stopped talking.
Father Xiao said, “Qiao An, since you two know each other, maybe Ming will contact you. If he does, please let us know.”
Qiao An said, “Okay.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “Xiao Ming is a man and is so skilled. Nothing will happen to him. Perhaps he went on a trip somewhere and the signal there is not good. You don’t have to worry about him.”
Xiao Yue explained with a sobbing tone, “Cousin, you don’t know, but there was a shooting on Binjiang Road in South City last night. An informant provided information that the leader of the bandits seems to be my brother. My parents were worried that he had gone astray, so they looked for him urgently.”
When Mr. Xiao heard this, he was furious. “If that brat dares to go astray, I’ll kill him myself.”
Qiao An’s heart trembled. Her lips moved, but in the end she said nothing.
