Chapter 589 - She’s Your Daughter! (2/2)

Especially Nan Yao, who smiled beautifully when she greeted Qiao Yanze.

She despised Pei Xuan, and if she was bound to not be able to leave the castle and remain as a bed tool, she would rather be Qiao Yanze’s.

Pei Xuan did not look that bad to be honest, but he was a fool.

Qiao Yanze was different. He was handsome and also the inheritor of the Duke’s t.i.tle. His prospects were incomparable to that fool, Pei Xuan.

If she could become Qiao Yanze’s woman, she would not have to suffer being ordered around by Li Ying anymore.

After Nan Yao greeted Qiao Yanze, disappointment flashed in her eyes after noting that he did not even spare her a glance. It must have been because she had not been able to rest properly and had a poor complexion these past few days, since she had been stepped on and broke two fingers. That must be why Qiao Yanze did not look at her.

Li Ying tugged Nan Yao’s arm, after seeing her be distracted. She nudged her head, “Go take a look at who’s inside the ward.”

Nan Yao took the chance when Qiao Yanze was speaking to Madam Qiao and walked in front of the window looking into the ward. She hurriedly took a glance inside.

Nan Yao almost thought she had seen wrongly when she saw Nan Zhi sitting on the bed and An Feng sitting beside her.

Was Nan Zhi the woman that the doctor said Qiao Yanze was very worried about?

What kind of medicine did Nan Zhi give Qiao Yanze to make him so smitten by her? He already knew that Madam Qiao did not like her and her mother!

Nan Yao returned to Li Ying’s side and whispered to her.

After hearing this, Li Ying walked forward and said to Qiao Yanze, “Yanze, you know clearly that your mother is worried about her biological daughter. Why are you spending your energy on irrelevant people instead of looking for her?”

Madam Qiao glanced at Li Ying in confusion. “Who’s in the ward?”

“Older sister, it’s that girl that you hate the most, and that crazy woman.”

At this, Madam Qiao’s expression immediately changed. “Yanze, why are you still contacting that woman? I don’t like them, stop meeting them in the future!”

Qiao Yanze furrowed his eyebrows tightly, staring at Madam Qiao solemnly. “Mom, can you tell me why you’re so against them? What did they do wrong?”

Madam Qiao was speechless by Qiao Yanze’s questions.

Actually, they had done nothing wrong. She had merely heard too many unpleasant things about them from Ding Shuman back then, and that girl, Nan Zhi was also sharp-witted and seduced her son. Just these two points were enough to make her not like them.

Before Madam Qiao could say anything, her phone rang.

Her expression immediately changed after the call.

She hurriedly grabbed Qiao Yanze’s arm and said in panic, “Yanze, I just received news that your older brother was arrested.”

Qiao Yanze’s handsome face had no expression, as he was exceptionally calm. “I know, I was also involved in his arrest.”

Slap!

Madam Qiao lifted her hand and slapped Qiao Yanze ruthlessly. “Although he’s not your biological older brother, but your father and I still raised him. He also took care of you when you were young. The two of you have been close brothers for thirty years. For what reason did you send him into jail personally?”

According to S Country’s Royal rules, anyone who was arrested into jail were usually a major criminal offender and would be sentenced to the death penalty!

Qiao Yanze could understand his mother’s emotions right now. To Qiao Yanrong, she had given out an equal amount of love, and did not treat him any differently because he was not her biological child.

However, she did not know that her oldest son was already a completely different person.

Qiao Yanze had not slept for an entire night, and his pretty eyes had turned a little red. He turned towards his furious mother, scoffing lightly, “Because he almost got your biological daughter killed and almost took your biological granddaughter’s life!”

Madam Qiao’s eyes constricted immediately. She stared at Qiao Yanze, not quite understanding what he meant.

Behind her, Li Ying was also confused, “Yanze, what are you saying? Why would Yanrong harm Older Sister’s biological daughter? Did you make a mistake?”

Before Li Ying finished, Madam Qiao interrupted her with a trembling voice. She took a step forward, grabbing Qiao Yanze’s arm once more as she asked in agitation, “Yanze, what did you just say? My biological daughter? Does that mean that you’ve found her?”
