Chapter 677: Chapter 676: Exposing 1_1 Chapter 677: Chapter 676: Exposing 1_1 “Weini, could you please step outside? I need to speak with Mr. Lan.” Qiao Xiaren turned towards Weini suddenly, signaling for him to leave.

Weini could feel a shift in Qiao Xiaren’s mood, sensing the seriousness of the situation. He nodded and stepped outside.

Qiao Xiaren pulled over a chair and sat down, her cold eyes seeming to peer through everything.

“Xiaren, what is it that you want to tell me?” Lan Tiansheng moved his laptop aside, looking at her gently.

“What is your ultimate goal? Today, let’s lay our cards on the table. What are you looking for?” Qiao Xiaren scoffed suddenly, “I’m only giving you one chance to explain, make sure you make the most of it.”

In the ensuing silence, opponents locked eyes.

Qiao Xiaren’s gaze appeared icy, it seemed like nobody could hide from it.

A gentle smile curled up on Lan Tiansheng’s lips, “I don’t have a hidden agenda. You’re Aunt An’s daughter, you have been all alone since you were young and currently struggling in the entertainment industry. It’s only right that I help you out.”

“I don’t want anything, Xiaren. Not everyone you encounter is bad. Sometimes, seeing you reminds me of Lan Lan; you were supposed to be the little princess who is doted on by thousands.”

Listeining to Lan Tiansheng’s heartfelt confession, Qiao Xiaren showed no emotional change, but only scoffed.

“What does my rightful status have to do with you?” Qiao Xiaren stood up suddenly, her gaze icy sharp. “I gave you a chance to come clean, but you didn’t cherish it, so don’t blame me for being merciless.”

Lan Tiansheng could suddenly feel the room turning colder, a faint feeling of oppression suffocating him.

Qiao Xiaren grabbed a fruit knife, and with a swift movement, aimed it straight at Lan Tiansheng.

The knife brushed past Lan Tiansheng’s ear, sending a chill down his spine. The knife perfectly hit the wall behind him.

“Xiaren, you…”

“What a splendid drama.” Qiao Xiaren started clapping and smiled, “The hackneyed plot of the damsel in distress rescued by the heroic knight, Mr. Lan, you seem quite adept at it. I wonder if you’re enjoying the act? ”

At the mention of her suspicion, Lan Tiansheng’s pupils contracted, but he reacted quickly: “Xiaren, what do you mean by that? Are you accusing me of hiring those people? What would I benefit from it? Why would I want to kill you and then save you?”

“Who knows?! It’s natural for people from the Lan Family to be selfish and despicable. That’s how you have always been!”

Upon hearing Qiao Xiaren’s words, Lan Tiansheng’s face instantly darkened, “Qiao Xiaren, don’t go too far. Even if you don’t appreciate me for saving you, turning against the Lan Family like this, isn’t it too much?”

“Stop pretending! Do you really think I’m a fool? The cliche story of the hero saving the beauty and winning her heart, Mr. Lan, don’t you think this plot is quite shabby?” Qiao Xiaren mocked coldly, “Just tell me this, does An Yuqian have anything to do with this?”

Si Limo had informed her of what had transpired – the Lan Family was planning to marry their daughter Lan Lan to him to form an alliance with the Si Family.

The Lan Family has always been ambitious, initially they intended to use An Yuqian’s identity as her biological mother to control her and utilize her to take over everything from the Qiao Family.

Unfortunately for them, she, Qiao Xiaren, would never succumb to them and obediently become their puppet just because of the word “biological mother”.
