Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

441 Pregnant Before Marriage

The next day, the Xiao family prepared a grand lunch and specially invited Qiao An, Huo Xiaoran, and the relatives and friends of the Huo and Lu families to this banquet.

There was also another important guest, Xiao Yue’s boyfriend, Qiao He.

However, Qiao He’s arrival clearly made everyone in the room very awkward. The elders of the Xiao family did not approve of Qiao He, but because Qiao He was Qiao An’s younger brother, it was not convenient for them to make things difficult for him. Therefore, they could only remain indifferent.

Qiao An could naturally tell that the elders of the Xiao family were aggrieved. After all, a military family like the Xiao family preferred boys to practice martial arts. At the very least, they were boys who were cultured. That was in line with their patriotic feelings.

However, Qiao He was just an unknown actor. He had to wear a mask every day to play some strange anime characters. This made the traditional elders not see the value of his contribution to society.

!!

In order to break the awkwardness, Qiao An walked up to Old Master Xiao and said humbly, “Grandpa Xiao, can we talk in private?”

Old Master Xiao thought that Qiao An was pleading for Qiao He, but he liked Qiao An very much now, so he still respected her.

They moved to the study and Old Master Xiao looked at her with disinterest. He was waiting for her to mention Qiao He so that he could reject Qiao An tactfully.

Unexpectedly, Qiao An didn’t talk about Qiao He and Xiao Yue. Instead, she asked for Old Master’s opinion with a serious expression. “Grandpa Xiao, I want to see Rosa again.”

She was here for business. Old Master Xiao immediately became interested. He straightened his posture and asked, “Do you have any intentions?”

Qiao An analyzed everything for him. “Grandpa Xiao, Rosa is Lu Qianyu. This identity is worth making a big deal out of.”

Old Master Xiao instantly understood her intentions and smiled. “An’an, you’re still too young. Rosa grew up in a bandit nest. Her values are already deeply rooted, and her position inside is not low. How can she easily change her faith?”

Qiao An said, “Grandpa Xiao, I believe that people are not evil. Rosa has only gotten to where she is today because of her hatred for this world. She hates the Lu family for selling her to human traffickers. With such hatred, her heart will be twisted. If I tell her that there’s no such darkness in this world, that Sister Qianqian changed her ideals to search for her and became an honorable narcotics police officer, I think we might be able to wake up the softest part of Rosa’s heart.”

“As long as Rosa changes her ways, then she can provide you with valuable information.”

Of course, Old Master Xiao knew the benefits of bribing the bandits, but he was not optimistic about the outcome of persuading Rosa to turn over a new leaf. He had dealt too much with those outlaws. They were all people who ignored life and death.

However, because Qiao An’s request was not overboard, there was value in trying.

“Alright. I’ll provide you with a chance to meet.”

Qiao An paused and made another small request. “Grandpa Xiao, I want to see Sister Qianqian’s case file. Can I?”

Old Master Xiao was in a difficult position. After all, Qiao An was not an insider. However, he guessed Qiao An’s intentions and reluctantly agreed to her.

Qiao An was very happy. “Thank you, Grandpa Xiao.”

With that, she turned to leave.

Old Master Xiao suddenly called out to him, “Qiao An.”

Qiao An turned around and heard Old Master Xiao ask her, “What do you think of Qiao He and Xiao Yue?”

Qiao An said, “He’s my brother. When I was at my most difficult time, he helped me without considering the gains and losses. His character is naturally good. However, his career hasn’t been established yet. No one knows what the future will be like. It depends on whether Xiao Yue is willing to take a gamble.”

Old Master Xiao looked troubled. “Your brother is still young. It’s understandable that his status hasn’t improved. It’s just that as an actor, he…”

Qiao An naturally understood what he didn’t finish.

Qiao An smiled. “Grandpa Xiao, celebrities nowadays respond to every call. If they have a charitable heart, then their contribution to society is positive. This is a diverse society. Everyone can be an unknown hero in their ordinary roles.”

With that, Qiao An left freely.

Old Master Xiao chewed on Qiao An’s words and suddenly laughed loudly. Listening to a wise man was better than studying for ten years. Yes, he was confused. Every ordinary role had an unknown hero.

When Old Master Xiao came out of the study, his brows were already filled with smiles, as if the annoying knot in his heart had already dissipated.

Qiao He and Xiao Yue were in the garden. Qiao He looked a little depressed. The Xiao family’s rejection of him made him feel very aggrieved.

Xiao Yue could only comfort him nicely. “Qiao He, I know you feel wronged. Don’t worry, I will never look down on your job like they do. I like whatever job you do.”

At this moment, Qiao An walked over and patted Qiao He’s shoulder. “Can’t a man swallow this grievance?”

Qiao He said, “Sister, I can swallow any grievances. It’s just that I’m afraid that if the Xiao family still doesn’t accept me, the child in Yueyue’s stomach will be born with no proper identity.”

Qiao An was stunned. Then, she flew into a rage.

“The two of you got pregnant before marriage? Aiya, you’re really mixed up. It’s not that you don’t know that the Xiao family is old-fashioned, but you still did such an earth-shattering thing. This time, even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal can’t save you.”

Xiao Yue pleaded for Qiao He. “Sister, it’s not Qiao He’s fault. It’s my fault. I wanted this child.”

Qiao An thought for a moment and said, “Qiao He, since you’ve done such a thing, you have to be responsible. Take the initiative to apologize and ask for forgiveness from Xiao Yue’s parents.”

Xiao Yue said, “No, no. My father will beat Qiao He to death.”

Qiao An had long seen how ruthless Xiao Yue’s father was. When he hit Xiao Ming, he almost killed him.

How could Qiao He withstand Father Xiao’s whip?

However, Qiao He stomped his feet. “Alright, I’ll apologize. It’s better than feeling uneasy.”

With that, he really rushed into the lobby and knelt in front of Xiao Yue’s parents.

“Uncle, Auntie, Qiao He is here to receive his punishment.”

“Receive your punishment? What did you do wrong?” Mr. Xiao asked.

“I got Yueyue pregnant.”

Mr. Xiao was furious and immediately kicked Qiao He’s chest. “You!”

Xiao Yue staggered over. “Dad, hit me if you want. It’s my fault. I wanted this child myself.”
