Chapter 102 - Hidden Scheme Exposed

Li Zecheng and Wei Xin had been living comfortably recently. Li Zecheng had been removed from his position by the company and had nothing to do all day, so he spent time with Wei Xin.

Li Zecheng thought that he could live a good life at home. Unexpectedly, when he came out of the riverside mansion with Wei Xin in his arms, he was blocked by Li Xiaoran and Old Master Li.

Old Master Li cursed Li Zecheng. “Bastard, your uncle said that you haven’t been doing your job recently and don’t care about your pregnant wife. I didn’t believe it at first. I didn’t expect you to be so muddle-headed…”

Li Zecheng glared fiercely at Li Xiaoran and said indignantly, “Uncle, you really care about my matters?”

Li Xiaoran reprimanded Li Zecheng with a cold face, “Li Zecheng, did you know that your wife went to the bar yesterday?”

Li Zecheng said indifferently, “What does her going to the bar have to do with me?”

Old Master Li raised his palm and slapped him. He was so angry that his chest spewed out. “Li Zecheng, your wife is pregnant. If she drinks, can she still have this child?”

Li Zecheng was completely woken up by this slap. Only then did he realize that Qiao An was determined not to have his child.

He glanced at the old man timidly. He knew better than anyone how much the old man loved his great-grandson.

The old master valued his eldest son and eldest grandson, so he deliberately reserved 5% of their shares.

The other descendants only had two percent.

As the grandson of the third branch, Li Zecheng did not have much power in the Li family. However, the most fortunate thing was that his wife, Qiao An, was pregnant with the Li family’s legitimate great-grandson.

Although he and Qiao An didn’t get along, anyone with a discerning eye knew that as long as Li Zecheng obtained custody of the child, it was equivalent to obtaining 5% of the shares.

The premise of all this was that Qiao An had to give birth smoothly.

Therefore, when Li Zecheng heard that Qiao An went to a bar to get drunk, one could imagine how flustered he was.

“Grandpa, I’ll go home immediately and take good care of Qiao An. I don’t think I’ll let her do such a stupid thing again,” Li Zecheng promised the old man cautiously.

Ever since Wei Xin was criticized by Old Master Li, she could not raise her head in front of him. She stood at the side silently.

However, Li Xiaoran did not seem to intend to let her off. He knocked on Old Master Li’s ear and said, “Grandpa, if Li Zecheng doesn’t cut ties with his mistress, I’m afraid Qiao An will never be happy.”

Old Master Li looked at Wei Xin with hatred and disdain. “Miss Wei is from a famous family, but she is willing to degrade herself. She is willing to be my Zecheng’s mistress. If word gets out, your father will be embarrassed, right?”

Wei Xin gritted her teeth, her eyes red.

“Grandpa, you’ve misunderstood me. I was with Brother Zecheng with Qiao An’s personal approval.”

As soon as she said this, Old Master Li, who had been on the battlefield and seen countless people, was instantly petrified.

Li Xiaoran was also stunned and shocked. How could a woman like Qiao An, who couldn’t tolerate infidelity, allow Li Zecheng to raise a mistress openly?

Li Zecheng sensed that something was wrong from the expressions of Old Master Li and Li Xiaoran. He had a bad feeling.

In the next moment, Li Zecheng was pointed at by Old Master Li and scolded, “Stupid pig, Qiao An agreed to let you be with her. Do you really think Qiao An will sincerely bless you?”

“At this moment, Qiao An probably has the intention to divorce you. She can’t wait for you to cheat on her so that when the divorce happens, she can use your mistake to scheme against you until you have nothing.”

After Li Zecheng and Wei Xin were enlightened by the old man, their backs were covered in cold sweat.

Li Zecheng gritted his teeth and said, “Qiao An, I didn’t expect you to be such a scheming woman.”

Li Xiaoran curled his lips and said, “Li Zecheng, you’re too stupid.”

Li Zecheng glared at Li Xiaoran unhappily.

The old man reminded Li Zecheng, “From Qiao An’s recent behavior, she was drunk and had the intention of having an abortion. She allowed you to have an affair and had the intention of suing for a divorce. You’ve hidden your tracks well recently. Don’t be schemed against by Qiao An until you can only kneel and beg for mercy.”

“Yes, Grandpa.” Li Zecheng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

When the old man left, he sighed repeatedly. “Why did I end up with such a useless stupid pig for a grandson?”

When Li Zecheng heard the old man’s words, his handsome face was very embarrassed.

After the old man warned Li Zecheng, Li Zecheng immediately cut off contact with Wei Xin. “It’s best if we don’t contact each other for the time being. Otherwise, Qiao An will have something on us.”

Wei Xin said disapprovingly, “Brother Zecheng, Grandpa must be making a mountain out of a molehill. Qiao An just saw the reality and took the initiative to give up on her marriage to you. How can she be as scary as Grandpa says?”

Li Zecheng said, “Grandpa is an influential figure in the business world. He was able to establish Li Kang Corporation. I believe that with his experience and judgment, he won’t be wrong about Qiao An. Wei Xin, it’s better to be safe than sorry. We’re just separated for the time being. Let’s talk about it after Qiao An gives birth and I get custody of the child.”

Wei Xin nodded sadly. “Alright.”

Li Zecheng returned to Star Palace that night.

Qiao An saw Li Zecheng and was very disappointed.

“Why are you back?” she asked.

Her words were cold.

Li Zecheng fell onto the sofa listlessly. He glanced at Qiao An and said resentfully, “I heard that you went to the bar to drink?”

Qiao An was stunned. It was said that good things never left the house, but bad things spread far and wide. Li Xiaoran’s mouth was really big.

She just did not understand. Li Xiaoran had never had any relationship with the third branch. Why did he interfere in this matter?

Qiao An’s eyes turned cold. “Your uncle has a big mouth.”

Li Zecheng had to agree. “Isn’t that so? He told Old Master, causing Old Master to reprimand me.”

Thinking of the old man’s reminder, Li Zecheng probed Qiao An, “You don’t want this child?”

Qiao An rubbed her belly, her eyes turning dark.

“Yes, you’re right”

Li Zecheng became agitated. “Why are you so heartless? It’s still a life.”

Qiao An sneered. “Li Zecheng, your hypocrisy disgusts me. If you really love this child, how could you have cheated on me with another woman when I was pregnant? You abused me during my pregnancy. How can you have the face to be the child’s father?”

“In the end, the child is just a pawn for you to fight for 5% of the shares. Li Zecheng, I’ve already given up the 5% shares. Therefore, I don’t need this child anymore.”

Embarrassment flashed across Li Zecheng’s face.

Qiao An originally wanted to use the child to help Li Xiaoran fight for the 5% shares.
