Chapter 61 - Selling the House

Wei Xin felt that Qiao An was just an unknown small fry. How could a scheming businessman like Li Zecheng not defeat her?

Therefore, she had never thought of spitting out the gift Li Zecheng had given her.

Li Zecheng said in defeat, “Qiao An gave us three days. If we don’t pay her back in three days, she will sue us.”

Wei Xin, if you don’t want to be reviled by the people as a mistress, then get rid of the house in your hands immediately.”

Wei Xin was so frightened that her face turned pale. However, she was extremely unwilling to give up everything.

Wei Xin cried aggrievedly. “Brother Zecheng, I’ve been with you for so many years. I’ve always been the woman behind you in silence. I’ve never fought with her for favor, I just want you to treat me well.

“But now, your wife wants me to return the house and the jewelry. I have to spit out every single thing you gave me. Then I’ve been with you all these years, but in the end, I have nothing. Aren’t you letting me down?”

Li Zecheng was caught between Qiao An and Wei Xin. He was about to break down. He hugged his head and roared in pain, “Do you think I want to do this to you? It’s all because of that Qiao An. I don’t know where she got the evidence from, but she keeps forcing me to ask you for money every day.

“If I don’t do it, she’ll sue us. At that time, everyone in the capital will know about our lousy matter. It’s fine if my image is ruined, but my career will be ruined.”

Wei Xin saw that Li Zecheng had been tortured by Qiao An recently. The once high-spirited man was helpless in front of Qiao An.

Wei Xin sighed heavily before saying with self-pity, “Brother Zecheng, in the end, I don’t have a status. Only Qiao An can use the law to find trouble with me. If I were your wife, I would have a clear conscience no matter how much money I used from you. She can’t control me.”

Li Zecheng comforted her. “Other than being my official wife, how can she compare to you? I spend more time with you than her. The gifts I bought for you are more expensive than hers. Even her wedding ring is a gift item from what I bought you.”

Wei Xin said hatefully, “What’s the use of that? Isn’t it all taken back by Qiao An now? Moreover, Qiao An is so smart. Do you still dare to help me openly in the future?”

Li Zecheng stomped his feet. “This Qiao An was clearly a silly girl in the past. I wonder how she became so smart after jumping off the building?”

Wei Xin looked at Li Zecheng with teary eyes and said, “Brother Zecheng, Qiao An doesn’t want you to see me, so you ordered me to see less of you. She doesn’t allow you to sponsor me, so you have to take back all the gifts she gave me. Her words are an imperial edict. Since you’re so afraid of her, live well with her. In the future, whether I live or die, it’s none of your business.”

She was charming and looked pitiful when she cried.

Li Zecheng raised his hand and swore to the heavens. “If I don’t care about you, I won’t be human.”

Wei Xin said, “Leave. I can’t believe your words anymore.”

Li Zecheng coaxed Wei Xin for a long time, but Wei Xin had just fallen from the clouds into the mud. How could such pain be coaxed with a few sweet words?

In the end, Li Zecheng could only leave gloomily.

After Li Xiaoran was pushed into the emergency room, he was given a fever reduction injection and quickly woke up.

Seeing his colleague Xiao Bai sizing him up with a confused face, Li Xiaoran replied with an even more confused expression, “Could it be that I have a terminal illness?”

“Doctor Li, your condition is very strange. The blood test is normal. I gave you a full-body MRI, but there’s no abnormality. According to my experience, it can only be… a mental illness.”

Li Xiaoran looked at him bitterly. “What kind of mental illness?”

“Anxiety or depression leading to a disordered response.”

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and nodded. “That makes sense.”

Xiao Bai said in confusion, “But I really don’t understand. Doctor Li, why are you so anxious?”

Li Xiaoran said, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to find a wife.”

Doctor Bai looked like he was eating shit. “Doctor Li, you have so many admirers. Why are you still worried about your wife?”

At the mention of his wife, Li Xiaoran thought of Qiao An.

He quickly asked, “Where’s the girl who sent me to the hospital?”

“Lu Mo?”

“No, Qiao An.”

Doctor Bai looked at Li Xiaoran with a strange gaze. “Are you sure it’s a young lady? She’s clearly a married woman.”

Li Xiaoran remembered that Qiao An was 23 years old this year and was indeed not a young lady.

It could be because she had a baby face and big round eyes that were filled with youth. Or it could be that his impression of Qiao An would forever remain at the age when they were in love.

She was still an underage girl then.

At this moment, Lu Mo walked in silently.

She stood in front of Li Xiaoran and said bitterly, “Why didn’t you call me when you were sick?”

Li Xiaoran looked at her and caught a hint of jealousy on Lu Mo’s face. Li Xiaoran said defensively, “Momo, I was confused from the fever.”

Doctor Bai added, “Only when you’re confused will your true feelings be revealed…”

Lu Mo’s gaze was like a dart that shot Doctor Bai into a sieve. Doctor Bai trembled.

“Doctor Li, do your best.” After reminding Li Xiaoran, Doctor Bai fled.

Li Xiaoran’s expression was dark as he apologized to Lu Mo arrogantly, “Momo, I’ve let you down. I shouldn’t have hurt you after drinking. I shouldn’t have rashly agreed to be your boyfriend because I realized that taking responsibility for you in this way is the second time I hurt you.”

“Why don’t I change my means of being responsible for you?”

Lu Mo’s face turned to stone.

She should have thought of it long ago. That day, her senior had agreed to be her boyfriend on a whim. It was strange.

It turned out that senior had misunderstood her as the woman who was with him that night.

Her rationality and conscience told Lu Mo that she should tell Li Xiaoran the truth.

However, for some reason, when she saw Li Xiaoran’s fair face and explosive hormones, as long as she pretended to be confused, such a handsome and talented boy would completely belong to her.

She was unwilling to tell the truth.

“Senior, I know it’ll be difficult for you to forget your old love for a while. It’s okay, I’ll work hard with you.”

“Mo Mo—” Li Xiaoran felt very helpless about Lu Mo’s choice. “I’ll give you money, okay? I’ll give you any amount.”

Lu Mo said, “I’m not short of money. I just need a boyfriend.”

Li Xiaoran lay on the bed in despair.

“Momo, we’re not suitable.”

“We can work together,” Lu Mo said.

Lu Mo asked, “Then are you and Qiao An suitable? She’s a married woman, so you two are even more unsuitable.”

Li Xiaoran said very seriously, “Other than this, everything else is suitable.”

Lu Mo was dumbfounded.
