Chapter 6 - Settling The Score

Chapter 6 - Settling The Score

"I don't care who you…" Daughter?
Upon closer inspection, it really was his daughter!
Unlike the previous one, this girl really resembled her mother when she was young!
Lu Xiao immediately threw the broom to one side. He put his hands behind his back and feigned a stern appearance. He secretly snuck a few looks at his daughter, and asked in a deep voice, "Did that family send you here?"
Even as he said it, he was already looking around stealthily to see if there were any cars.
Lu An unconsciously suppressed her smile and answered obediently, "No, my friend sent me here."
"What friend?"
Lu Xiao's gaze sharpened.
"He's the brother who lived next door when I was young. He wanted to come with me, but suddenly had something to do, so he left first," the little girl answered honestly with an earnest little face.
"So, y- you came of your own accord?"
Her father narrowed his eyes even more, as if trying to bore a hole in her with his gaze.
He couldn't believe it!
Lu An was puzzled. "Otherwise?"
"Just…" Didn't the old lady from the Qi family say that his daughter despised them, and would rather go into hiding than come back?
Lu Xiao clenched his fists and asked fiercely, "Then why are you only here now?
"It should be three months since you learned about your background, right?"
He thought about every time that he had brought people to the Qi family. Whether his daughter was willing to come back with him or not, she should at least give him a definite answer. In the end, he didn't even see her once. He almost thought that those people had harmed his daughter. Just thinking about it made Lu Xiao very unhappy.
Lu An explained, "Because Grandpa was sick. He raised me, so naturally, I have to take care of him. I did want to come back earlier."
"So, you were raised by your grandfather?
"What about your parents?
"Aren't you staying with the Qi family?"
Lu Xiao was very puzzled as he fired the questions at his daughter. He looked at her cute little face and asked again, "Then, did you say that you don't want to return to this family, and just want to be their daughter?"
"I didn't!" There was no way she wanted to be the daughter of those two people!
Lu An was utterly speechless, and said, "I asked Grandpa to get them to pass on a message. I heard that you even made trouble at their place and wanted to kill them. Didn't they tell you that I would come back after a while?"
"Tell me…" As if!
Damn, the truth was revealed!
He knew that his daughter wouldn't despise her family. Hmph!
It was just another bunch of cheap, two-faced witches!
"Daughter, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you.
"Go in first and do whatever you want. Dad needs to do something first; I'll be back soon."
Lu Xiao took out a bunch of keys and handed them to her. After giving her a few simple instructions, he turned around and strode off.
Looking at his aggressive and ominous bearing, it seemed he was going to settle the score with the Qi family?
Lu An stared blankly. She didn't know why, but she inexplicably felt nervous, and shouted, "Dad!"
"Oh!"
Lu Xiao turned around.
Standing tall and upright, he looked at his daughter, who was standing in one corner under the eaves of the front door.
She was so petite and skinny. Under the dim yellow light, her face was soft and fair, and her big black eyes were filled with pure expectation; it was as if she couldn't bear for him to leave.
His heart suddenly stirred, and it felt like there was sand in his eyes.
Lu Xiao quickly turned around and hurriedly wiped his eyes. He said with concern, "Daughter, you came back so late. Have you eaten? Are you tired?
"I'll bring you to a hotel to eat first, and we can go to a bathhouse after that?"
