The old lady thought to herself that Madam Qiao would definitely stand up for her! She wanted to take this opportunity to let the surrounding nobles get to know her.
After all, she was the in-law of the Duchess!
The headmaster saw that Madam Qiao’s expression was not good and there was anger in her eyes. He thought that she was going to stand up for the old lady.
The next headmaster would be elected soon and he could not offend the board trustee.
The headmaster quickly said, “Madam Qiao, I’ll ask that lady to apologize to your in-law right away.”
The headmaster came up to An Feng and advised her, “You’d better apologize, otherwise you’ll really be taken to the police.”
When the old lady heard the headmaster’s words, she lifted her chin arrogantly.
A proud look on her face like she was waiting for An Feng to come and apologize to her.
An Feng had a gentle disposition and seldom got angry with people. That year when Ding Shuman put her foot into her family, she only decided to go abroad after the divorce and never had a fight with anyone.
Now that she had met with such an unreasonable old lady, she was unable to scold her but if she wanted to apologize, she must…
An Feng came up to the old lady. Looking at her arrogant expression, An Feng asked gently, “You really want me to apologize, don’t you?”
The old lady raised her chin. “Don’t think about leaving if you don’t apologize!”
“Okay.” An Feng suddenly raised her hand and slapped the old lady’s face. “I didn’t provoke you but you bothered me. Of course I can’t apologize. Now that I’ve slapped you, it was my fault, I…”
Before An Feng could apologize, a laugh suddenly sounded. “Don’t apologize!”
Everyone was stunned.
Including the old lady and the headmaster.
Because the person who said it was the most unexpected person.
It was Madam Qiao.
The old lady who was slapped by An Feng looked incredulously at Madam Qiao, her lips trembling. “In-law, what are you talking about? What do you mean don’t apologize? She hit me just now!”
Madam Qiao pulled An Feng behind her and looked at the old lady sharply. “These few years, you’ve been acting like a tyrant because of your relationship with my family. I wasn’t too bothered to care about what you did before, but you shouldn’t have touched my daughter.”
The old lady’s eyes widened.
Seeming to have been agitated by something, she kept shaking her head and said loudly, “In-law, don’t joke around. How could she be your daughter? She…”
The old lady suddenly thought that she had heard Li Ying said a few days ago that Madam Qiao had found her biological daughter…
It surely couldn’t be this woman… could it?
The old lady shivered.
But she had always been arrogant and domineering, not to mention that she was slapped, she would not admit her mistake. “In-law, you must be mistaken. How could there be royal blood coursing through the body of a person who dared to hit her elder?”
When Madam Qiao heard the old lady slandering her child in such a way, she felt guilty towards An Feng. Ever since she knew that An Feng was her daughter, she had spent every day in regret. She had cried every day, seeing her beloved child by her side but she could not acknowledge her.
She felt pain in her heart thinking of what she had done before.
“Whether she’s my daughter or not, it’s not something for someone like you to comment on.” Madam Qiao’s eyes were red but her gaze was sharp and strong. “I know very clearly what your grandson is like. Today, you will be the one to make him apologize to my daughter. Otherwise, get out of the Royal Academy!”
The old lady was shocked. “I-In-law, what are you talking about?”
“I won’t repeat myself again. I won’t let you bully my daughter, even if you’re my in-law! Apologize!”
The old lady looked at Madam Qiao’s domineering attitude and did not dare to be rude any more. Pulling her grandson over, she said unwillingly, “I apologize on behalf of my grandson to your daughter. We misunderstood and hurt her, I’m sorry.”
Madam Qiao waved her hand only after she heard those words. “Everyone leave!” She could see that An Feng did not like crowds.
After everyone had left, Madam Qiao looked over at An Feng carefully.
An Feng’s expression was calm, and there was no joy or agitation on it. She nodded at Madam Qiao and walked towards Xiaojie’s classroom.
Madam Qiao looked at An Feng’s back and felt tears filling up in her eyes.
This was her own fault. If she had not believed Ding Shuman’s words, she would not have such a strained relationship with her own daughter.
Not long after, An Feng came with Xiaojie.
Both of them were talking and laughing. They had a good relationship and a harmonious atmosphere.
Madam Qiao looked at the scene enviously. She went forward, wanting to talk to An Feng and Xiaojie but An Feng ignored her, walking past her.
After some distance, Xiaojie could not help looking back and asked, “Grandma, who’s that old granny?”
An Feng shook her head. “I don’t know.”
When the Old Madam defended her just now and said that she was her mother, An Feng felt that it was impossible…
How could she possibly be the Duchess’s daughter?
Her parents had passed away many years ago.
In the car, An Feng asked Xiaojie what he had done at school today and while they were talking, the bodyguard who was driving found that something was strange. The Duchess’s car was following them.
When the car reached an intersection, the bodyguard wanted to ask An Feng if she wanted to throw off the Duchess’s car when suddenly, four chartered cars came from all directions.
More than a dozen men with guns came out of the car.
The leader had a long stick in his hand as well as a gun. The stick landed on the windshield and made a loud sound.
An Feng paled and subconsciously held Xiaojie in her arms.
When Madam Qiao saw what was happening, she asked the bodyguards to get out of the car and she ran forward herself, ignoring the danger.
…
Nan Zhi went to buy groceries from the supermarket downstairs. She prepared to cook dinner and wait for her mother and Xiaojie to come back and eat together.
Returning to the apartment, Nan Zhi was stunned when she saw Qiao Yanze, who was playing with a lighter, leaning against the door.
Perhaps hearing footsteps, Qiao Yanze looked up in her direction.
There was a joy and enthusiasm in his eyes that she could not understand.
Nan Zhi frowned. She did not know why Qiao Yanze was so persistent. She had already been obvious in her attitude that she did not like the Qiao family. Even if he was good to her, she did not want to have too much interaction with him.
“Zhizhi, you’re back? What did you buy? Wow, there’s fish and meat, there must be a great meal tonight.”
Looking at the shameless Qiao Yanze, who was smiling childishly, Nan Zhi said, “Mr. Qiao, I didn’t prepare your share.”
“It’s all right, I don’t have to eat. I’ll be happy watching you eat.”
The corners of Nan Zhi’s mouth twitched and she looked at Qiao Yanze with doubt.
Was there something wrong with this person?
“Zhizhi, Ye Sihan has gone to the battlefield. In the future, I’ll come over and spend more time with you.”
Nan Zhi opened her mouth, wanting to say something when her phone rang suddenly. Her expression changed after she picked up the call.
