Chapter 1326: Chapter 1326: Qiao Yin’s Foster Father? Chapter 1326: Chapter 1326: Qiao Yin’s Foster Father? Gu Ranxuan shook her head, “The marriage alliance, Dad has already said, is annulled, and I never really liked Lu Lingche. Other women might enjoy conjuring up stories with him, but not me. I think a career is the most important thing, getting married isn’t important.”

Gu Ranmo didn’t believe a word of it. She might fool strangers with that talk, but convincing her own little sister? Impossible.

But she didn’t say anything more; after all, her older sister was crafty, and she’d certainly deal with Qiao Yin where no one else could see.

As they were talking, a commotion suddenly erupted outside.

Both sisters frowned and then headed downstairs together.

A servant hurriedly reported, “Eldest Miss, Second Miss, a man named Qiao Haidong has arrived outside. He claims to be the adoptive father of the Third Miss and is here at the Gu Family home demanding past child support. He’s causing a scene and we can’t get rid of him. Should we call the police?”

Gu Ranxuan and Gu Ranmo looked at each other, “Qiao Yin’s adoptive father?”

“Eldest Miss, he doesn’t seem like the reasonable type. Should we get the Third Miss to handle this?”

Without waiting for Gu Ranxuan to respond, Gu Ranmo immediately nodded, “Yes! Call Qiao Yin right away, tell her to come!”

“Yes!”

“Also, let that Qiao Haidong come in. I want to see for myself what kind of man this lowlife adoptive father of Qiao Yin is!”

“Yes, Second Miss!”

However, Gu Ranxuan was not as approving, “Momo, Dad is away on a business trip and won’t be back for a few days. It might not be appropriate for us juniors to handle this. Perhaps we should let Grandfather deal with it.”

“Big sister, what’s gotten into you lately? After Qiao Yin stole your fiance, why do you keep backing down? This isn’t like you!”

Gu Ranmo stared intently at Gu Ranxuan’s face, trying to discern something from her expression, but in vain–her sister maintained a calm and collected demeanor of an Eldest Miss, revealing nothing.

“If we let Grandfather handle it, he’s likely to just pay off Qiao Yin’s adoptive father, which would only benefit that slut Qiao Yin! Dad won’t be back for days, and we can’t just let this man make a scene outside. We can handle it ourselves; it’s not such a big deal.”

In just a moment, the servant had brought Qiao Haidong inside.

Gu Ranxuan and Gu Ranmo were both taken aback when they saw Qiao Haidong.

It wasn’t for no reason–the adoptive father of Qiao Yin was actually quite distinguished-looking. Despite his age, he still looked very handsome, and more importantly, he bore a slight resemblance to Gu Chengqiao!

Qiao Haidong was also surprised to see only the two sisters in the living room.

He had gone to Guotai Group to find Gu Chengqiao the day before and was told that Chengqiao was away on business. He had initially thought the receptionist was just making excuses to get rid of him.

But now he was in the Gu Family’s home, and Chengqiao still hadn’t appeared, so it seemed he really was away.

This was too good, dealing with someone as crafty as Gu Chengqiao was tough, but handling these two naive young ladies should be a piece of cake.

Qiao Haidong straightened his new wool coat that cost over thirty thousand yuan and cleared his throat before saying, “You two must be Yinyin’s sisters, right? Not sure if the servants have introduced me, but I am actually Qiao Yin’s father, my name is Qiao Haidong.”

After introducing himself, Gu Ranxuan and Gu Ranmo just eyed him without a word.

The atmosphere grew somewhat awkward, but luckily Qiao Haidong had cultivated a skin thicker than a city wall. He felt awkward for only a moment then spoke naturally, “Won’t you invite me to sit and have a cup of tea?”

Gu Ranmo snorted coldly, “We don’t have tea in this house, only coffee!”

“Oh, coffee will do.”

Qiao Haidong, making himself at home, sat down on the sofa and even beckoned the sisters, “Come sit! I’m Qiao Yin’s father, and in a way we’re family. You can call me Uncle Qiao.”

Gu Ranmo rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached heaven, “Who’s family with you? You’re quite the joker. Who let you sit on our sofa? Get up this instant! If you stain our sofa, can you afford to pay for it?”
