Chapter 297: They Are Both Pretending

"It's impossible. Repaying debts and avenging murders have always been the natural order of things. You can't just shrug it off because she's young or because we are all one family," Qiao Ran said icily, answering definitively for Lu Qishan.

"This is a matter for the Lu Family, you're an outsider and have no right to speak. Don't stir up trouble here," Wu Lan glared hatefully at Qiao Ran.

From the moment she saw Qiao Ran, Wu Lan took an instant dislike to her, finding her beauty too dazzling and resenting how she stole her daughter's limelight from Lu Bojie.

Afterward, Qiao Ran clinched the Medical Competition championship, becoming the pride of the entire Beihong Country. Lu Bojie took even greater pride in his granddaughter, leaving his daughter with even less affection,

which only worsened Wu Lan's feelings toward Qiao Ran.

Now, she was hindering her daughter even more, making Wu Lan wish she had a knife in hand to cut Qiao Ran down.
