Chapter 70 - No Divorce, Wei Xin’s Disappointment

Third Madam heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Qiao An in confusion, not understanding why she was helping Li Zecheng out. Thinking about it, she felt smug.

She felt that Qiao An had not given up on Li Zecheng.

The Old Master asked the butler to tidy up a room for Qiao An. Although there were many empty rooms in the Li family’s villa, most of them had owners. They either chose to move out because of their marriage or work, but they would come back to stay from time to time during holidays.

The butler arranged for Qiao An to stay in Li Zecheng’s room.

Although Qiao An was unwilling, she still stayed.

In the evening, Qiao An took the initiative to play chess with Old Master. She lost all three rounds.

The old man looked at Qiao An and said meaningfully, “Qiao An, do you know why you lost?”

Qiao An smiled. “Of course I’m not as skilled.”

The old man shook his head. “Chess is like life. If you want to win against your opponent, you should learn to endure and hide your strength. Exposing your ambition too early and letting your opponent have something on you will only result in a crushing defeat.”

Qiao An’s smile froze in her eyes. The old man’s words were clearly a warning.

Qiao An said, “Grandpa, you’ve been in the business world for so many years and built your own business empire. You’ve seen all kinds of people. Naturally, you can sit still and take things one step at a time. However, I am only a rookie who hasn’t experienced the world. I didn’t expect it to be so long ago. I can only rely on my passion and ambition to achieve my insignificant wish. In the future, please guide me, Grandpa.”

The old man said, “In this aspect, you have to learn from my Xiaoran.”

Qiao An was stunned.

There was a hidden meaning in Old Master’s words.

Did he mean that Li Xiaoran was the most shrewd and secretive person?

How was that possible? That guy was innocent and focused on learning. How could he be the same as these people from the Li family?

The old man threw the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard and said, “You can’t judge a book by its cover.”

Qiao An was stunned again.

Qiao An said, “I don’t know if Li Xiaoran is shrewd or not. I only know that he’s a good doctor.”

Although her tone was very indifferent, the old man could still capture her good impression of Li Xiaoran from Qiao An’s face.

“Qiao An, what about Zecheng? Is Zecheng a good husband?” Old Master asked.

Instinctively, Qiao An touched her neck. There was still a faint red bruise there. “I never could read him, Grandpa,” she said.

“He left you in the ruins and even abused a pregnant woman like you. Why didn’t you divorce him?”

Qiao An’s hand curled up unconsciously. She knew how wise Old Master was. If he saw through her revenge plans, there was no need for her to remain here.

He was a soldier. A soldier had the bearing of a soldier.

His grandson was at fault. He allowed her to cause trouble.But she was not allowed to do anything more outrageous.

Since she had made Li Ze’en a pawn in her revenge against Li Zecheng, the old man would more or less have some opinions about her.

Qiao An replied carefully, “Grandpa, I’ve thought about getting a divorce. When I fell off the building and woke up, the first thing I did was to ask Li Zecheng for a divorce. But he didn’t agree.”

The old man also knew what Li Zecheng was thinking. “You just jumped off a building and asked for a divorce. The media will speculate that the reason you jumped off a building was because he encountered a change of heart. Then he will become the target of public criticism. At that time, he really can’t take the risk to divorce you.”

Qiao An didn’t expect the old man to be so honest. She continued, “Later, I found out that he had betrayed me. I was very sad and angry. I thought that if I didn’t get a divorce, the two wouldn’t be able to be together.”

The old man nodded sympathetically. “They hurt you, and you want to take revenge on them. This is their punishment.”

Qiao An looked at the old man’s calm expression and knew that although the old man said that he was fair, that was under the premise that she did not do much harm.

Qiao An’s hand fell to her stomach as she continued, “Now that I’m pregnant, I just want to give up those grudges and run my family again. But your grandson isn’t happy. He fights with me every day and wants to divorce me. He even hits me often because of this.”

Tears welled up in Qiao An’s eyes as she said pitifully, “Grandpa, if it weren’t for the sake of giving my child a complete family, why would I be willing to live with such a heartless man?”

The old man nodded with a solemn expression. As someone who had been through it, he had seen the women fight against each other for their children. He knew that women were trustworthy for their children.

He believed Qiao An.

He immediately said, “Qiao An, don’t worry. As long as you’re unwilling, if Zecheng dares to divorce you, I won’t acknowledge him as my grandson.”

Qiao An heaved a sigh of relief.

She thought that in the next few days, Li Zecheng would probably want to divorce her. Fortunately, she had struck first and gained the upper hand. In this battle of marriage, she had pulled the Old Master over to be her greatest supporter.

As expected, the next morning, Li Zecheng openly brought Wei Xin back to the Li family villa.

When Qiao An met them in the lobby, Li Zecheng said proudly, “Qiao An, you vicious woman. I can’t spend a day with you anymore. I’ll divorce you today.”

Qiao An sat very quietly on the sofa and drank her tea gracefully.

Wei Xin said angrily, “Qiao An, you saw the post yesterday, right? The public opinion is biased towards me and Zecheng. After all, he and I are childhood sweethearts. You’re the one who ruined our relationship. You’re the mistress.”

Qiao An put down the teacup and looked up at her and Li Zecheng. “Do you know? I scored full marks for the college entrance examination.”

Li Zecheng and Wei Xin were puzzled. They didn’t know why Qiao An was showing off her college entrance examination essay.

Wei Xin snorted. “So what? You’re talented, but my Brother Zecheng doesn’t like you.”

Qiao An said, “What I mean is that I can also write a few posts and guarantee that they will be more affectionate than yours. Moreover, I can put up a lot of evidence and tell the public how Li Zecheng betrayed his first love and licked my toes like a dog.”

“You!” Li Zecheng was furious.

Wei Xin looked at Li Zecheng in confusion. “Brother Zecheng, did you really love her?”

An unnatural look flashed across Li Zecheng’s face. “Don’t listen to her nonsense. How could I like such a person? She was the one who tricked me.”

The sound of the walking stick hitting the floor gradually approached. Qiao An changed the topic and touched her stomach as she confessed to Li Zecheng, “Li Zecheng, we even have a child. Can you bear for the child to be born without a father?”
