Chapter 380: Chapter 380_1 Chapter 380: Chapter 380_1 “I don’t need you to intervene, aren’t you, An Yuqian, a disgrace to the Qiao Family as well? If you give a strand of your hair, I can naturally find a hospital for identification.” The old patriarch’s sneer made An Yuqian blush with embarrassnt once again.
Having chosen love back then, it was only natural for her to be despised by the Qiao family now. It suddenly dawned on An Yuqian why Lan Xinhan had insisted on her eting the patriarch of the Qiaos. He must have known the purpose of the old patriarch’s visit today.
“I can give you my hair, but I have a request.”
“What request?”
“The Lan and Li Families are competing for a governnt civil engineering project. I hope you, as the patriarch, can diate, considering the many old friends you have in the governnt. I hope…you can help the Lan Family.” An Yuqian carefully worded her intentions after so thought.
Xinhan must have thought the sa, wanting her to seize the opportunity to help the Lan Family get that governnt project. An Yuqian felt she was doing nothing wrong. From the ti she chose her lover over the family eighteen years ago, she was bound to abandon anyone from the Qiao Family, including the daughter she t only the day she was born.
She would do anything to win Xinhan’s favor!
The old patriarch of Qiao family didn’t know how to describe his feeling, he coldly laughed after a mont, “You have the gall to ask to help the Lan Family? Do you think the damage you caused to us by helping the Lan Family back then wasn’t enough? Helping you would make feel as if I’ve swallowed a fly!”
“Fine, then don’t expect to get my hair.” With gritted teeth, An Yuqian turned to go out. The old patriarch looked on coolly, idly striking the ground with his Dragon Head Cane. Uncle Wu, standing nearby, imdiately stepped forward with an expressionless face, took out a pair of small scissors from his pocket, and boldly walked towards An Yuqian.
Before the butler of the Lan Family could react, Uncle Wu had roughly grabbed An Yuqian’s hair and cut off a strand.
As An Yuqian turned around, she saw a strand of her hair falling, held in Uncle Wu’s hand.
“Uncle Wu, how dare you lay a hand on !” Instantly, the deanor of Mrs. Qiao welled up in An Yuqian. Who dared to be rude to her when she was in the Qiao family? Who among them was not polite and respectful, elevating her on a pedestal?
“Madam Lan, in my lifeti, I’ve only obeyed the orders of the Qiao Family.”
The cold, emotionless assertion made An Yuqian’s face turn red with embarrassnt. She seed to recall that she was no longer a part of the Qiao family. The statent hit a raw nerve, making her feel both embarrassed and indignant.
The old patriarch felt irritated just by looking at her face. He left, leaning on his cane. Uncle Wu followed, leaving An Yuqian with his indifferent and decisive back figure.
He probably wouldn’t see this woman again in his life.
An Yuqian watched as the two departed, and recalling what had just been said, she imdiately galloped towards the study. She wanted to find Lan Xinhan and figure out what was going on.
Inside the study, Lan Xinhan was wearing gold-rimd glasses, examining a new market survey report. Suddenly he heard the sound of a woman’s heels and the voice of a servant.
“Is the master inside?”
“Madam, the master is busy inside. However, he has instructed that you can co in anyti.”
Upon getting the reply, An Yuqian pushed the door and entered: “Xinhan!”
“So, you’ve t with the old man of the Qiao family?” Lan Xinhan put down his book and adjusted his glasses.
“Xinhan, have you been hiding sothing from ?” An Yuqian didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked the question she wanted to know the answer to.
