Chapter 209: 209. The Truth
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In a flash, a terrifying thought popped into Qiao An’s mind.
Whether it was her or Lu Mo, Huo Xiaoran seemed to be a grateful person. The car accident three years ago was not his doing.
It could only be said that the driver’s words that day before she fainted were deliberately to sow discord between her and Huo Xiaoran.
And he did.
In the past three years, she had always hated Huo Xiaoran.
Thinking about the driver’s identity, he was the driver of the Lu family. Therefore, the Lu family was trying to sow discord between her and Huo Xiaoran, while Lu Mo benefited greatly from it. In the end, she obtained Huo Xiaoran.
A chill ran down Qiao An’s spine as she deduced the vein.
Was that the truth?
In order to verify her guess, Qiao An questioned and probed Lu Mo.
“Dr. Lu, when did you get cancer?” She stared into Lu Mo’s eyes and asked faintly.
“Three years ago.” Lu Mo seemed unwilling to answer this question. Out of courtesy, she brushed it off.
Qiao An said coldly, “Oh, three years ago, Li Zecheng and I divorced. What a coincidence.”
She subconsciously frowned. She felt that it was definitely not a coincidence that Lu Mo’s illness coincided with her divorce.
Lu Mo read something unfathomable in Qiao An’s deep eyes and suddenly felt terrified.
Anxious to finish the task, she said, “Qiao An, we’re friends. Don’t blame me for not reminding you that just because your fever has subsided doesn’t mean you’ve fully recovered. There’s a high chance you’ll have a relapse within twenty-four hours. I suggest you stay for two more days.”
Qiao An suddenly didn’t want to leave the hospital.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBecause she couldn’t wait to investigate the car accident three years ago and clear Huo Xiaoran’s name.
And this was the closest place to the killer.
“Oh. Since Dr. Lu has said so, I’ll stay,” she said leisurely.
Lu Mo was stunned.
Wasn’t this person stubborn? Why did she leave her behind so easily?
Lu Mo looked displeased. “Qiao An, you don’t want to be discharged at all, right? Don’t tell me you’re deliberately asking to be discharged to gain my senior’s sympathy and make him visit you? You’re really a hypocrite.”
Qiao An was dumbfounded.
For the first time, she felt the magical nature of genetics. Mrs. Lu and Lu Mo were actually the same. They always thought the worst of her.
If Mother Lu was the only one who was biased against her, Qiao An would feel that her actions were biased and would cause misunderstandings.
However, if this mother and daughter misunderstood her at the same time, she would feel that this mother and daughter were judging others by themselves.
For some reason, Qiao An didn’t like Lu Mo anymore. She retorted angrily, “Dr. Lu, are you judging others with your own yardstick?”
Although this was a question, Qiao An’s eyes were extremely certain. This shocked Lu Mo.
Then she realized that Qiao An wasn’t an easy woman to fool. She was smart. Her comment about judging others by her own yardstick proved that she suspected her.
Lu Mo casually found an excuse and left in a hurry.
Qiao An stared after her, her eyes darkening. She thought that it was time to investigate the mastermind behind the Lu family’s driver. She could not let the innocent be implicated, and she could not be played by others.
She texted Qiao He. “Find me a private detective. Keep an eye on the whereabouts of Lu Mo’s family, especially Mother Lu and her driver.”
Qiao He always supported any decision Qiao An made without question. “Okay.”
In the evening, Qiao He sent the photos taken by the detective to Qiao An. When Qiao An saw Lu Mo’s new driver, she had a bad feeling.
It was all because she had been careless that the driver had taken precautions in advance. He had escaped to another place.
Qiao An was crestfallen.
And because of that, she understood even more how cunning her enemies were.
For the next few days, until Qiao An was discharged, the information the detective gave her was sparse and ordinary. It had no value.
Qiao An could only tell them to stop following, in case they alerted the enemy.
And she was racking her brains for a solution.
Time passed slowly.
During this period of time, Huo Xiaoran seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and never greeted Qiao An again.
Qiao An was nervous. For some reason, she was increasingly afraid that Huo Xiaoran had feelings for Lu Mo.
On the day Qiao An was discharged from the hospital, she happened to meet Huo Xiaoran in the corridor. He was carrying a food box and walking towards Lu Mo’s ward in a hurry.
He paused visibly as Qiao An came toward him.
But in the end, he had no intention of staying. Instead, he brushed past Qiao An indifferently.
“Huo Xiaoran,” Qiao An suddenly called out to him.
Huo Xiaoran stopped and did not turn around.
Qiao An asked him, “I want to talk to you.”
She thought it was time to confront him about the truth of the car accident three years ago.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer instincts told him the driver responsible had lied.
However, Huo Xiaoran didn’t give her a chance. “Qiao An, let’s not see each other in the future. Momo will be unhappy, right?”
Qiao An felt as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over her head.
It was at that moment that she realized that their relationship had drifted apart amid his equanimity and her resentment and hatred.
“Just one last time,” she pleaded urgently.
Huo Xiaoran said, “Qiao An, no one will wait for you here forever.” With that, Huo Xiaoran started to leave.
Qiao An’s eyes instantly turned red. She choked and left.
After she was discharged, Qiao An didn’t even have time to reminisce about the true feelings of her youth, as the filming of her new book began. She began to devote herself to scriptwriting.
The director was hired by Huo Zhou, a young female director.
The first time she and Qiao An met, a huge argument broke out. She insisted on changing the script. In the end, even the core values of the script were changed beyond recognition. Qiao An objected vehemently.
The director finally threw Qiao An a rude remark. “If you can write, write. If you can’t, get lost. You’re not the only one who can write this script.”
Qiao An was furious.
She deeply regretted her actions in auctioning off the rights in the first place.
His first day at work was a wet blanket.
However, she did not expect that this new director was the new woman Huo Zhou liked. Huo Zhou doted on her very much.
And since she and Huo Zhou were a couple, she naturally had a lot of opportunities to report Qiao An to Huo Zhou.
“Zhou Zhou, that Qiao An, is very domineering and doesn’t allow us to modify the script. Then this script will have no commercial value. Why would I film it?”
Huo Zhou thought for a moment and raised the woman’s chin with a slender finger. “Let her have her way.”
The seductive female director was instantly jealous. She said coquettishly, “Zhou Zhou, why are you helping her instead of me? I don’t want to.”
Huo Zhou said, “You don’t have to be jealous of her. I’m only good to her because my Xiaoran is indebted to her. As you know, I only have this brother, so I definitely have to dote on him.”
