Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 684: Chapter 697: A Thorn in the Heart

An Ran also learned from Xiao Xiao to overlap the clothes in front of her with Mu Xingfeng’s figure. Suddenly, she saw a figure in the distance. That woman looked exactly like Wang Xia whom she had seen in the Imperial City.

What is Wang Xia doing here?

If Wang Xia and her son’s presence before had planted a thorn in An Ran’s heart, after An Ran and Mu Xingfeng truly got together, Wang Xia became a nail stuck in An Ran’s heart.

She was not a magnanimous woman; she clearly saw Wang Xia and her son’s intentions towards Mu Xingfeng.

Moreover, Mu Xingfeng’s attitude towards Wang Xia and her son was like a fishbone stuck in her throat.

She had never seen Mu Xingfeng treat any other woman with such kindness, nor had she ever seen him smile at any other child.

He really loved that child; this was the conclusion An Ran had made at the time. But the child’s possessiveness towards Mu Xingfeng was even more terrifying.

Most importantly, Wang Xia had hugged Mu Xingfeng. Although Mu Xingfeng had explained to her and she trusted him, she did not trust Wang Xia.

If that woman is indeed Wang Xia, what has she come to Nan’an for? It’s obvious.

An Ran just wanted to confirm if that person was Wang Xia. She didn’t even bother to greet Xiao Xiao and chased after her.

Just as she was about to catch up to that figure, a couple of people suddenly emerged from a store entrance, and An Ran, not paying enough attention, collided directly with them.

With a loud ”crash”, the woman’s shopping bag scattered on the ground.

”Hey, who’s not watching where they’re going? How can you walk like this?”

The middle-aged woman who was hit shouted loudly.

The woman behind her saw An Ran, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

An Ran saw that the figure she had been chasing had already disappeared into the crowd. She turned her gaze back, bent over to help pick up things, and apologized repeatedly, ”I’m sorry, I was chasing someone just now and was in a bit of a hurry.”

”Chasing someone in a mall? Are you serious? Did that person steal your money or steal one of my people, making you so reckless and unconcerned about other customers? It’s no big deal to hit me, but if you hit our madam, you’d be in for it.”

An Ran picked up all the things without paying attention to the arrogant tone, handed them over, and said, ”I’ll be more careful next time.”

”Of course you’ll be more careful next time, but let’s talk about how to handle this time first,”

Only then did An Ran notice the woman behind the middle-aged woman. She was wearing an elegant qipao, a very luxurious fur shawl, and her long black hair was pinned up high. The arrogance she exuded looked down on everyone.

This person was none other than Guo Xinyi’s mother, whom An Ran had met once.

Seeing Mom Guo at that moment, An Ran knew that this wasn’t going to be easy.

At this time, Xiao Xiao also ran over and immediately recognized Mom Guo. Hearing her tone, she knew she was going to make things difficult for An Ran. She couldn’t help but ask, ”We’ve already apologized. What more do you want?”

”Apologize? The Xu Family also apologized to you back then. So, what did you do? Didn’t you still push the Xu family to their doom? At such a young age, who knew you were so cruel.”

The woman in front, Aunt Li, heard Mom Guo’s words, and her eyes seemed to be filled with venom. She leaned towards Xu Hailian and asked, ”Madam, are you saying this little wretch is the one who caused harm to the master’s family?”

”If it’s not her, then who else could it be?” Xu Hailian responded, looking around at the crowd that had gathered to watch, ”Aunt Li, step back.”

Previously, Guo Wenshan had warned her not to provoke this girl. If the girl came knocking, she couldn’t blame anyone else. But with so many bystanders, she couldn’t let the girl get hold of any evidence against her.
