Li Xiaoran smiled and said, “Do you know that you look very stupid now?”
Qiao An was embarrassed. There were so many people present, yet he was still in the mood to tease her?
Li Zecheng was so angry that his face was darker than coal.
Li Xiaoran finished treating Qiao An’s wound and lazily walked up to Li Zecheng.
Very simply and roughly, he put a very ugly bandage on his head, making Li Zecheng look even more comical than a husky.
Li Zecheng looked at himself in the mirror and glared at Li Xiaoran. “Uncle, how can I go out and meet people like this?”
Li Xiaoran said, “Sorry, I thought you were the only patient here, so I didn’t bring enough materials and gauze. You can only make do.”
Li Zecheng glared at Li Xiaoran angrily. He was sure that this guy was deliberately messing with him.
After treating the wound, Qiao An and Li Zecheng sat far away. They glared at each other, their eyes spitting fire.
Third Madam wanted to help her son teach Qiao An a lesson, but Li Xiaoran’s sharp tongue controlled her, so she could only endure the discomfort in her heart.
In the end, Old Master Li asked Qiao An calmly, “Qiao An, Ze Cheng is rash person. Please forgive him.”
Li Xiaoran, who was fiddling with the lilies in the vase, interrupted without warning. “Dad, don’t blame me for not reminding you. Qiao An is crazy and can do anything stupid. And Li Zecheng is a muddle-headed bastard. He keeps provoking Qiao An. Aren’t you afraid that if someone dies one day, the family scandal you’ve been trying to hide will eventually be exposed?”
These words rang in Old Master Li’s heart like an alarm bell. After some thought, he made a difficult decision.
“Zecheng, during this period of time, you and Qiao An will live separately and calm down. If you really want a divorce, I… won’t interfere with your decision. However…”
The old man paused, and his voice suddenly became cold and firm. He announced, “Qiao An, if you insist on getting a divorce, the child must stay in the Li family.”
Li Zecheng was overjoyed.
Qiao An lowered her eyes. The old fox had finally revealed his fox tail. She knew that he would never be her talisman. Once she fell out with the Li family, his selfishness would be exposed.
Qiao An looked at the old man coldly and said resolutely, “No, but I can. This child only has two choices. Either he dies in the womb or cut ties with the Li family. Or I’ll raise him myself in the future.”
Old Master knew that Qiao An had a strong personality, but he didn’t expect her to be so strong.
“Qiao An, as long as you give birth to the child and leave it to the Li family, our Li family will give you more money than you can use in three lifetimes. You won’t lose out.” The old man was an expert at business negotiations after all. He calmly stated the pros and cons to Qiao An. “If you don’t listen to me, you will have nothing.”
Many times, the descendants of the Li family did not dare to breathe loudly in front of the old master, especially when the old master’s face was dark.
But Qiao An was different. She had the blood of the Qiao family in her. Father Qiao taught Qiao An to not fear the rich and powerful.
Therefore, Qiao An put on a fearless attitude towards Old Master Li’s aggressiveness.
“Grandpa, I’ll divorce Li Zecheng. I’ll only take the portion that belongs to me. As for the other mountains of gold and silver in your Li family, I won’t ask for a single cent more.”
“As for the child, I will never give in.”
Third Madam was hopping mad. “Qiao An, do you think the court is open for you? Do you think you can do whatever you want?”
Qiao An rolled her eyes at her. “The court isn’t for me, but it’s not for your Li family either.”
The old man grunted. “Qiao An, you’re too young and frivolous. Sooner or later, you’ll fall.”
After the old man finished his warning, he stood up and left with the butler.
Third Madam glared fiercely at Qiao An. She wanted to teach Qiao An a lesson for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, but she realized that Qiao An’s gaze was terrifying.
Third Madam turned around and instructed Li Zecheng, “Son, in order to ensure your safety, it’s better for you to live separately from her for the time being. Otherwise, she will go crazy and hurt you.”
“I got it.”
Only then did Third Madam leave.
Li Xiaoran was the last to leave. When he passed by Qiao An, it was unknown if he was mocking her or praising her. He said, “Qiao An, I like your tiger-like strength.”
“Get lost.” Qiao An gritted her teeth.
Li Xiaoran did not mind her rudeness at all and smiled. “Come to my consultation room tomorrow morning to change your dressing.”
Qiao An rolled his eyes at him.
Li Xiaoran smiled and left.
That night, after the old man and the others left, Li Zecheng looked at Qiao An coldly and asked angrily, “Grandpa asked us to separate for a while. Which one of us will move out to do it?”
Qiao An rolled his eyes at him and placed a hand on her abdomen. “Of course you’ll move out.”
“Why?” Li Zecheng shouted unhappily.
When the husband and wife reached the end of their marriage, there were no favors, only benefits. Li Zecheng had never considered that Qiao An had nowhere to go.
Qiao An looked at him. She knew that he was heartless to her, but when he completely ignored the fact that she, a pregnant woman, would be homeless, it still touched Qiao An’s heart deeply.
The more cold and heartless he was, the more it triggered the resentment in Qiao An’s heart. Her determination to take revenge on him became even more determined.
“I don’t have anywhere to go. I’m not moving out.” With that, Qiao An walked to the master bedroom and slammed the door.
Li Zecheng heard the door lock from the inside and was so angry that he cursed, “Qiao An, this is my house. If anyone wants to go out, it’s you.”
Qiao An’s voice came arrogantly from inside. “This house was bought after we got married. I own part of it.”
Li Zecheng was furious.
He shouldn’t have been bewitched by her beauty back then and wanted to please her. That was why he bought this wedding house after registering their marriage.
“Our Li family bought this house with all our money. We won’t give it to you when we divorce.”
In the end, Li Zecheng drove out himself.
Qiao An smiled evilly.
This house was the property that Li Zecheng bought after he married her. Her name was written on the property deed.
If he had the guts to lie to her, she would make him pay. Not only did she want this house, but she also wanted all the money he had worked for the past two years. She wanted him to pay the price for lying to her and betraying her.
The next day.
When Qiao An got out of bed, she found that her forehead was more swollen, and she had a dizzy nausea.
