Chapter 164 Mom? Are you worthy?
Lan Zhiming also walked forward immediately, trying to make his eyes look more loving and gentle.
There was a hint of expectation in his voice that could not be refused: "Xiao Qiao, come back with us."
"Today is a special day. Our family should get together and celebrate your birthday with joy. Don't let this birthday be filled with regrets."
Lan Yuchen stood aside, his usually cold face now a little gentler. He looked at Nan Qiao, his tone calm but with a hint of inexplicable persistence: "Nan Qiao, come back with us."
Nan Qiao's eyes were filled with anger and disdain, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Who am I to you? And who are you to me? What makes you think I will go back to the Lan family with you?"
"Have we ever had any beautiful memories? Have we ever had even a trace of affection?"
Jiang Peishan, standing by, looked embarrassed and anxious. She pushed through the crowd with tears in her eyes, "Nan Qiao, I know you've suffered a lot over the years."
"When you first came to us, we were blinded by greed and only had eyes for Lan Xuxue. We completely ignored your feelings and that's why you felt resentful."
"This is all our fault. It's Mom's fault."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was an uproar around her.
Except for Zhao Gang and Lin Yue, everyone else widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
Jiang Peishan is Nan Qiao's mother? This news is like a bombshell. So Nan Qiao is actually from the Lan family?
Nan Qiao seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth?
The laughter was filled with bitterness: "Mom? Are you worthy? Do you know how I have been through these years? Where were you when I needed you the most?"
"Where were you when I was being bullied? Don't you think it's too late to come and tell me this now?"
Her gaze was like a knife, piercing straight at Jiang Peishan, making her shiver.
Lan Zhiming frowned and wanted to explain: "Nan Qiao, the situation back then was very complicated, and we also had our own difficulties."
"Hardship?" Nan Qiao interrupted him, "Your hardship is to leave me alone to struggle in the dark? Where were you when I needed you the most?"
"Now that you see I have some connection with the leader, you're coming to claim me as your relative? Don't you think that's ridiculous?"
Lan Yuchen frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere: "Nan Qiao, the past cannot be changed, but we can start over."
"Start over?" Nan Qiao sneered, "Do you think it's possible? Lan Yuchen, you have always been high and mighty, how could you possibly understand my pain?"
"We are not one family, and we will never be one family."
At this time, Wang Xiaoxuan came over, stood beside Nan Qiao, held her hand, and gave her strength, "Xiao Qiao, let's go, ignore them."
Nan Qiao nodded and left with Wang Xiaoxuan. The Lan family wanted to chase them but were coldly stopped by Zhao Gang and Lin Yue.
The two men were surrounded by an aura of power, not only with the majesty of soldiers but also the pressure of strong men, which frightened the Lan family so much that they dared not step forward.
Lan Zhiming said stubbornly, "Leader Zhao, let me have a word with my daughter."
Zhao Gang snorted coldly, "Daughter? Your daughter is in prison, and you're going to apply to see her again. Don't just claim kinship with her outside!"
After saying that, Zhao Gang gave them a warning look, and he and Lin Yue caught up with Nan Qiao and the others who had already walked away.
Lan Yuchen looked at Nan Qiao with his deep eyes, then pursed his thin lips with a decadent look.
Jiang Peishan looked at Nan Qiao's departing back, a trace of regret flashed in her eyes, but it was too late.
At this time, the Jiang family and the Gu family's luxurious cars were parked neatly on the side of the road, shining with a low-key and luxurious luster under the street lights.
Zhao Gang stood in front of everyone with a serious expression, cleared his throat and said, "Please keep all the photos you took today and don't spread them around casually."
He glanced at everyone, his eyes filled with an unmistakable warning.
Everyone present was a smart person, and naturally understood the deep meaning of it, and nodded in agreement.
After saying goodbye to Nan Qiao one by one, everyone walked towards the car.
Wang Xiaoxuan stood on the side of the road, feeling a little awkward. She came by taxi, but she didn't have a car.
Nan Qiao saw this and quickly pulled her back, saying with a smile, "Xiaoxuan, wait a minute. Come back with us in the car later."
Wang Xiaoxuan nodded gratefully, "Yes, okay."
Not long after, the Wang family's car slowly drove over.
Nan Qiao personally accompanied Wang Qi over and opened the car door for him.
Wang Qingyu helped him into the car. After Wang Qi sat in the car, he looked at Nan Qiao with eyes full of affection. His hand tightly held the photo of him and Nan Qiao, as if he was holding an extremely precious treasure.
"Qiaoqiao, happy birthday. Seeing you loved by so many people today, I feel relieved."
"I'm leaving first." His voice was gentle and reluctant.
Nan Qiao smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll come see you in a few days."
After saying that, she stood there and watched the Wang family's car disappear from sight.
At this time, Jiang Linkai's car also arrived.
He already had one foot on the car, but he didn't move.
He looked at Nan Qiao staring blankly at the direction the Wang family's car was leaving, and a pang of jealousy welled up in his heart. He couldn't help but say, "Wow, you personally sent me to the car, and you didn't even look at me when I left. The difference in treatment is too big."
Nan Qiao heard Fang Xuyao's movement and turned around lightly. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She looked at him with sparkling eyes and teased, "Why, you want to compare your treatment with General Wang? How dare you? He's the elder, what about you?"
Fang Xuyao raised his eyebrows and chin slightly when he heard it: "What's wrong with the elders? I don't care. I just don't like you treating him better than me."
As he spoke, he crossed his arms over his chest, looking unwilling to give in.
Nan Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What kind of childish temper is this? It's so childish."
"Hmph, I'm just childish, so what?" Fang Xuyao took a few steps towards her, and the distance between them was instantly shortened.
Nan Qiao pursed her lips awkwardly and said, "General Wang and I are friends, and he treats me very well."
"Then I'm not good to you? I spent several nights choosing the gift I gave you, and I did a lot of research before I chose it!"
Fang Xuyao realized something was wrong after he finished speaking and quickly shut his mouth, but it was too late.
Nan Qiao looked at him in surprise, "Didn't you say that your grandfather's assistant helped choose the gift?"
"I, I was..." Fang Xuyao's cheeks flushed slightly, and he didn't know how to explain it.
"Okay, okay, you are very nice to me too." Nan Qiao grinned, her eyes and eyebrows shining like stars.
"Then you have to help me get in the car like you did to General Wang, otherwise I won't leave here!" Fang Xuyao suddenly started to act funny and sat down on a stone pier by the roadside.
"You, are you childish?" Nan Qiao reached out and pulled him up, "Get up, don't embarrass yourself here."
