I married my best friend's dad in a whirlwind romance, only to find out he'd secretly love

And at this moment, the Lu family!

Lu Zhiyao had just finished training when her grandmother hurriedly picked her up and brought her back.

"Grandma, what's the matter that's so urgent?" Lu Zhiyao was dragged and pulled back to the Lu family home.

Qin Nian smiled at her, "Hurry up and pick out ten. I'm going out for a bit. If your grandfather asks, just say I'm going to buy groceries."

Lu Zhiyao's lips twitched.

She really does wear many hats.

I need to choose a stepmother for myself and help my grandmother keep it from my grandfather so she can live a carefree life outside.

"Grandma, you'd better hurry up with your grocery shopping, or Grandpa will go crazy."

Lu Zhiyao looked helpless.

"Okay, if you're free, ask your grandpa to help you choose."

Lu Zhiyao understood that this meant she had to keep her grandfather occupied so as not to disturb her going out and having fun.

However, it's a bit unusual that my aunt has been looking for my grandmother for two days in a row. Could she be plotting something?

No, I'll have to wait until Grandma comes back and try to get some information out of her.

Qin Huiyu's car was parked at the corner outside the Lu family's house.

As soon as they got in the car, Qin Nian hurriedly asked, "Did you bring everything?"

"I brought it. Don't worry, they won't find out." Qin Huiyu raised an eyebrow.

"Let's go then."

Qiao An'an got off the car, exhausted. It was already dark.

She walked toward the company with her head down.

Suddenly, a scream came from not far away, and Qiao An'an subconsciously looked left and right.

I saw an old woman lying on the side of the road.

She didn't have time to reap the rewards; she quickly went forward to help the person up.

"Auntie, are you alright? Where did you fall?"

The old woman lying on the ground, dressed plainly, was carrying a vegetable basket and was wailing.

"Ouch, I'm so hurt! My back is killing me..."

As the old lady spoke, she secretly glanced at Qiao An'an.

Qiao An'an felt flustered when she heard her shout.

"Auntie, shall I take you to the hospital?"

She reached out to help, but she didn't expect that even though the old lady was injured, the strength in her hand was frightening.

It doesn't look like someone who has fallen and needs help at all.

"You little girl, why aren't you watching where you're going?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao An'an was completely dumbfounded.

She saw passersby gather around, pointing at her and cursing.

"Auntie, what did you say?"

Qiao An'an's voice trembled.

"I was walking ahead when I heard you shout. I turned around and saw you had fallen, so I came over to help you up."

"You're talking nonsense, you just bumped into me and knocked me down."

You must take responsibility for me.

"It wasn't me... I didn't..." Qiao An'an had never encountered such a staged accident before, and she felt extremely wronged.

"I didn't hit it. If you don't believe me, we'll call the police and check the surveillance footage."

"Who do you think you are, to just pull up the surveillance footage like that?"

Immediately afterwards, the old woman grabbed her hand and wouldn't let go, saying, "You're the one who bumped into me! My back is hurting, and I can't move my legs."

Qiao An'an was stunned. The surrounding people's discussions grew louder and louder, pointing and whispering about her.

"Young people these days are so focused on their phones that they don't even look where they're going."

"Get him to the hospital right away!"

"Exactly, hurry up and pay up!"

As Qiao An'an listened to these discussions, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, her gaze became clear.

She said clearly, word by word, "Auntie, I had just reached the company gate when I heard you call out, so I turned back to help you."

Now you're turning around and saying I pushed you. If you insist on this, then I'll have no choice but to call the police and let them give me justice.

After saying that, Qiao An'an stood straight. She was gentle by nature, but that didn't mean she was easy to bully.

The old lady sat on the ground, looking at Qiao An'an's stubbornness and the similar spirit to her son. A glint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

This little girl doesn't panic in the face of trouble and knows how to protect herself.

Kind-hearted but not hypocritical.

very good!

She was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, but she wanted to see just how far she could go.

"Hmph, I'll give the same answer even if the police come."

Upon hearing this, Qiao An'an immediately took out her phone.

Just then, a young man rushed over, helped the old lady up, and said, "Grandma, I've finally found you! I was so worried about you."

Qiao An'an paused while dialing and looked at the young man.

"Hello, is this elderly lady a member of your family?"

The young man looked at Qiao An'an, smiled and nodded, "Sorry for troubling you."

"You've come at the right time." Qiao An'an put away her phone, her face serious. "I was just trying to help your grandma, but she turned around and said I pushed her. I'm going to call the police now."

Qiao An'an thought that if the whole family were the same kind of person, she would call the police and would never settle.

The young man quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I apologize on behalf of my grandma. She likes to play pranks, so I hope you won't hold it against her considering her age."

The man spoke while glancing at the old woman.

He wouldn't dare be this man's grandson; he's just a working-class guy.

The old lady was none other than Lu Yanzhi's mother, Qin Nian.

I came here, changed into ordinary clothes, just to see Qiao An'an and, incidentally, to test her.

She just didn't expect that Qiao An'an, who seemed easy to bully and manipulate, was someone who wouldn't let herself be wronged.

She breathed a sigh of relief, secretly praising her son for having good taste.

After all, someone with a soft personality is not suitable to be the young mistress of the Lu family.

Fortunately, there was no real danger, but they went all out in their act.

Qin Nian glared at the bodyguard and slapped him across the face.

"Don't slander me. I just thought the girl was pretty, so I deliberately tripped and fell, hoping to make friends with her."

Upon hearing this, Qiao An'an's lips twitched.

Has she become out of touch with society?

Is it now fashionable to stage accidents to make friends?

Qin Nian smiled at Qiao An'an, stepped forward and took her hand.

"Little girl, I was just joking."

"Sorry, I startled you. I just saw you were about to go into the building, and in my haste, I sat down on the ground."

The arrogant old servant's expression had vanished from Qin Nian's face; a smile appeared on her face, making her look gentle and kind.

Seeing the person in front of her change so quickly, Qiao An'an was both amused and exasperated.

After a moment, she said helplessly, "Grandma, you can't joke like that, it'll scare people to death."

Qin Nian held onto her hand tightly, saying, "I thought you were pretty and wanted to be friends with you. But if you go into this building, I won't be able to find you. I had no choice but to do this in my haste."

"But this is a good idea, it's unique, and you won't forget me anymore, hahaha..."

Hearing this, Qiao An'an was speechless. This old lady really dared to do anything!

She could never forget such an absurd thing.

"Grandma, you can't do that next time. That's not a good method."

Qiao An'an shook her head and chuckled.

"I'll listen to you, we won't use that method anymore." Qin Nian smiled. "You don't need to call me grandma, I'm not old, call me auntie."

This is her future daughter-in-law. If her son finds out that his future daughter-in-law calls her "grandma," the generational hierarchy will be messed up.

"Auntie, I have to go to work," Qiao An'an said, trying to pull her hand away.

Qin Nian stopped there, saying, "Girl, let's add each other as friends. I'll treat you to a meal another day as an apology for what happened today."

After saying that, Qin Nian opened her phone and handed it to Qiao An'an.

Qiao An'an looked at the expectation in the old lady's eyes and her heart softened, but she also felt that in this situation, adding the person on WeChat now might lead to her being harassed later...
