Chapter 108 - Keeping the Child

Five days later, Qiao An received the test results.

Both the ultrasound and DNA test showed that the child was very healthy.

Seeing this result, Qiao An’s previously firm thoughts of miscarriage began to shake violently, especially when she saw the appearance of the four-dimensional child. It was clearly a formed embryo. Qiao An’s motherly love instantly erupted.

At that moment, she didn’t know where she got her courage from. Perhaps it was because she was a mother, but Qiao An suddenly made up her mind. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, she would do her best to protect her child.

After making up her mind to keep the child, Qiao An suddenly felt that her revenge on Li Zecheng and Wei Xin seemed to be less important. She had a new belief in life, which was to protect the child and love him.

When Qiao An returned home, Li Zecheng was watching television at home. Qiao An walked straight to Li Zecheng and announced solemnly, “Li Zecheng, let’s get a divorce.”

Li Ze’en’s gaze shifted from the television to her. His deep gaze was filled with calculation. “Sure, you can leave with nothing.”

After a long pause, Qiao An gritted his teeth and said, “Okay.”

Li Zecheng’s eyes were filled with confusion. “Didn’t you try everything to scrape away my assets? Why have you changed your mind?”

Qiao An smiled sarcastically. “Because I don’t want to be under the same roof as you for a moment.”

Li Zecheng’s face alternated between green and white. He had been a proud man. His family background was good, and he was handsome. Women had only ever thrown themselves at him. Now that Qiao An despised him to the extreme, his dignity as a man had been trampled on, he was naturally angry.

Li Zecheng said angrily, “Do you know what divorce means to you?”

Qiao An looked at him with contempt.

Li Zecheng said, “After the divorce, you will no longer be the young madam of the Li family. I won’t give you a single cent. You will return to being a village girl with nothing.”

Qiao An retorted, “Li Zecheng, in my two years of marriage, I didn’t taste the glory of being Mrs. Li at all. On the contrary, I worked hard for you. The title of Mrs. Li means nothing to me. Whoever wants the status of Mrs. Li can take it. I, Qiao An, don’t care at all.”

Li Zecheng’s face darkened.

He said angrily, “Okay, Qiao An, just you wait. I’ll divorce you immediately.”

A divorce required a household register, but Li Zecheng’s household register was with his mother.

In order to get back his household register, Li Zecheng immediately picked up his phone and called his mother. When the call went through, Third Madam asked listlessly, “Zecheng, what’s the matter?”

“Mom, I need the household register. Send it to me.”

Third Madam immediately became vigilant. “Why do you want the household register?”

Li Zecheng glanced at Qiao An and went to the courtyard with his phone.

“I want to divorce Qiao An.”

Third Madam’s voice sounded like a pig being slaughtered. “What? You want a divorce?”

Li Zecheng did not know why his mother had such a big reaction. “Isn’t this the result you’ve always hoped for?”

Third Madam said, “That was in the past. Now that Qiao An is pregnant, that’s a different story. Zecheng, I’ve consulted a lawyer. When a child is pregnant and breastfeeding, the court will usually give the divorce to the mother. If we can’t get custody of the child then, won’t the 5% shares be gone? No, no. You can’t get a divorce now. You have to wait for her to give birth and pass the breastfeeding period. Unless Qiao An is willing to give up the child’s custody.”

Only then did Li Zecheng realize that he had suffered a huge loss by divorcing Qiao An at this time.

After hanging up, Li Zecheng returned to the living room. He sat opposite Qiao An and began to negotiate with her. “If you want a divorce, you have to sign an agreement to transfer custody of the child.”

Qiao An’s eyes widened. She knew what Li Zecheng was up to.

Qiao An crushed Li Zecheng’s wishful thinking. “Li Zecheng, don’t you just want the 5% shares? Let me tell you, I’ve already transferred the shares to someone else. So don’t expect your father to become rich because of his son.”

Li Zecheng was stunned by this news and couldn’t recover for a long time. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and asked Qiao An, “Who did you transfer it to?”

“Does it matter to you?” Qiao An said haughtily.

Li Zecheng’s expression was extremely ugly. “Are you not going to leave a way out for your child by transferring the shares to others?”

Qiao An’s hand landed on her abdomen. She seemed to feel the child’s desire for life. For a good life.

At that moment, Qiao An made up her mind. She could not let her baby become a pawn for Li Zecheng to fight for the shares. She wanted her child to leave this foul family. She wanted her child to seek freedom and survival with her.

At that moment, the intelligent Qiao An also formulated a plan to escape the Li family.

She stood up and said casually, “Li Zecheng, I won’t give you the child.”

Li Zecheng begged, “It’s okay, Qiao An. I have plenty of time to waste with you. As long as I don’t divorce you, I’ll wait for you to slowly give birth before fighting you for custody of the child.”

His voice turned evil. “Hmph. Do you think the court will award a child to a woman like you who has no decent job and no high salary?”

Qiao An was stunned for a moment before quickly entering the room.

She sat on the bed in frustration.

Would Li Zecheng deliberately delay the divorce so that he could get custody of the child?

She could never let him have his way.

Qiao An immediately thought of Wei Xin.

She edited the recording of Li Zecheng rejecting the divorce and sent it to Wei Xin.

Then, she put on a weak and helpless posture and complained to Wei Xin, “Sigh, Li Zecheng doesn’t agree to divorce me.”

Then, she provoked Wei Xin with a few harsh words. “I knew you were just his plaything. It’s impossible for him to have children with you or marry you. Just wait to be abandoned by him when you’re old and pale.”

Wei Xin couldn’t stand the stimulation and immediately forgot Li Zecheng’s instructions.

That night, Wei Xin came to her door angrily.

Li Zecheng panicked when he saw Wei Xin.

“What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you not to come here?”

“Brother Zecheng, I’m afraid that you don’t want me anymore.” Wei Xin threw herself into Li Zecheng’s arms and cried.

“Brother Zecheng, how long until you and Qiao An get a divorce?”

“We’ll talk about it after she gives birth and goes into confinement.”

“Sob sob sob, it’s been so long. If you don’t contact me, you’ll definitely forget about me.” Wei Xin whined.

Li Zecheng looked helpless. At this moment, he only wanted to quickly kick Wei Xin out.

“Alright, leave quickly. It won’t be good if Qiao An finds out,” Li Zecheng said.

At this moment, the bedroom door suddenly opened.
