Chapter 1398: I Only Want You (96)

Su Yan and Qiao An proceeded to have their wedding photos taken and their weddings bands and gowns purchased. The wedding was to be held a few days later.

They had invited all their closest friends and family.

Their university schoolmates were included in the guest list too.

Everyone was surprised to see that they had reconciled.

Needless to say, Su Yan’s ex-wife, Yao Lan, was in utter disbelief. She could not tolerate the idea of her daughter addressing Qiao An as her mother.

Not to mention, she used to mock and sneer at Qiao An when they ran into her occasionally before she divorced Su Yan.

Yet Qiao An is getting married to Su Yan now. How poor of a taste he’s got, she thought.

She was extremely disgruntled and upset.

Hence, she racked her brains to come up with a way to sneak inside the Su family mansion on the day of their wedding, despite it being a tall order.

Everyone was dumbfounded the moment they saw her, for they all knew that she was Su Yan’s ex-wife. Su Yan, too, was astonished to see her showing up in the midst of the toasting ceremony. He shot his bodyguards a glance to hint them to chase her away. However, Qiao An grabbed his arm and hinted him not to act rashly, for there were lots of guests present.

Smiling, Qiao An walked toward her and handed her a glass of liquor from the tray. “Welcome to our wedding. I hereby toast to you.”

Unsurprisingly, Yao Lan did not accept the toast and instead knocked the glass of liquor out of Qiao An’s hand.

Everyone stared at each other in shock and dismay. They were all waiting to see a show. However, Qiao An kept a straight face and said softly to her, “If you still want to see Nainai in the future, you’d better drink up.”

She then handed the glass to Yao Lan again before saying, “Here, Ms. Yao, hold it properly. Don’t drop it again.”

Glowering at her, Yao Lan accepted the toast.

Qiao An smiled and clinked glasses with her, greatly disappointing the guests who were waiting for drama to break out.

She then turned around and walked toward Su Yan, after which they resumed the toasting ceremony.

Yao Lan did not cause a stir because she missed her daughter dearly. Ever since they got a divorce, Su Yan had been forbidding her from meeting Su Nainai, and Qiao An’s words had struck a sour note within her.

She swallowed her pride and suppressed her anger.

However, she was not the most upset person that day.

The Qiao family and Qiao An’s ex-husband, Xi Changzhi, were the most disgruntled.

They could not believe that the ex-convict, Qiao An, managed to get a new lease on life and married her old flame, Su Yan. Not to mention, Su Yan was the eldest heir of the wealthy Su family.

However, they had no choice but to accept the truth since nothing could be changed.

Qiao An transferred her name back to the Qiao family register after she divorced Xi Changzhi. Yet, her family had never once shown their concern toward her at all. To their embarrassment, she did not even inform them of her marriage and, thus, they thought that she went extremely overboard!

That was not all.

When they realized that she had gotten her marriage registered without informing them, the elderly matriarch of the Qiao family questioned, “Since you’d need a household register to get married, how did she manage to do so when the household register is with us?”

“Could it be that they only held a banquet without registering their marriage?” said Qiao An’s father.

“It can’t be. The Su family has a high status, they wouldn’t allow that. Go find out if Qiao An’s name is still under our register. She might have just removed it sneakily!”

Qiao An’s father immediately sent his bodyguards to look into it, only to discover that it was indeed the case. Qiao An had removed her name from the Qiao family household register and transferred it to the Su family’s a few days ago.

The elderly Mrs. Qiao was exasperated and regretted her decision to belittle Qiao An. She initially found Qiao An to be extremely foolish and dense, for the latter had been framed by her mother and husband. Hence, the elderly Mrs. Qiao did not bother saving her or defending her. Yet, to her astonishment, Qiao An actually married Su Yan.

Qiao An’s mother had divorced Mr. Qiao after Qiao An was imprisoned, after which she quickly became Xi Changzhi’s stepmother.

Xi Changzhi had agreed to let her marry his father, on the condition that she gave up on her own daughter, Qiao An.

Hence, she chose to sacrifice her daughter for the sake of her own happiness.

News of Su Yan’s second marriage hit the headlines, especially because the Su family was a relative of the royal family of R Nation.

In fact, Xi Changzhi had been keeping close tabs on Qiao An ever since the day that she was released from prison. He was initially waiting to see her down and out before humiliating her relentlessly. He wanted her to beg him shamelessly for his help and live under his thumb forever. Yet, things did not unfold according to plan. He had never expected that Qiao An would marry Su Yan.

Throughout the three years of Qiao An’s imprisonment, Su Yan had never once visited her in prison. Hence, Xi Changzhi was puzzled and clueless as to how they had managed to reconcile.

However, Qiao An could not care less about the opinions of everyone else. All that mattered to her was her pride, which she had managed to save and regain on her big day, all thanks to Su Yan.

She was standing on the shoulders of giants.

Su Yan could not control himself at all when they were consummating their marriage. In fact, he had never been able to control his hormones whenever he was around her, ever since they reconciled.

After an exhilarating time in bed, Qiao An asked, “Are you really not planning to let Nainai meet Yao Lan?”

“Yes, I’m not planning to let them meet.”

Qiao An said, “Just let them meet once a month. After all, Nainai is still her biological daughter. She’d be terribly upset if she never gets to meet her daughter again. Besides, you two were once married. If you separate them from each other, Nainai will resent you when she’s older too. It’s better to let them meet each other every now and then so that Nainai will know that she’s her biological mother.”

“Why are you speaking up for her?”

“Because that was what I told her during the toasting ceremony today. I told her that if she wanted to meet her daughter again, then she’d better accept the toast.”

Su Yan kissed her on her forehead and said, “I’ll listen to you, then.”

The newlyweds proceeded to have a peaceful night’s sleep.

The Qiao family paid them a visit the following morning, claiming that the senior Mrs. Qiao wanted to see Qiao An.

Hence, Qiao An dolled up and headed to the Qiao family home.

She did not wish to fall out with the Qiao family in the first place since they weren’t the ones who framed her anyway. The first step of her plan was to clear her name and restore her reputation, and the Qiao family was the first gateway she had to pass through.

She returned to the Qiao family home again after several years.

All the servants of the Qiao family greeted her, after which she nodded and walked toward Mrs. Qiao’s mansion.

The Qiao family members were all present.

What’s going on?

Are they welcoming me?

She smiled and entered. “Why did you ask to see me?”

Mrs. Qiao said, “Qiao An, I know you’ve been through a lot of hardship in the past few years. I was upset when I heard that you had gotten married yesterday. Not only did you remove your name from our household register, you also didn’t come home after you were released from prison. You didn’t invite us to your wedding as well. We didn’t get to prepare your dowry for you. After all, you’re still a member of the Qiao family. Qiao An, I know you’re full of resentment, but I wasn’t the one who caused you to be put behind bars. I hope you’ll understand that I definitely wouldn’t want anything to happen to you.”
