Chapter 116 - : Sue for Divorce

Her phone suddenly rang.

Qiao An had just slid open the dial button when Li Zecheng roared like a madman, “Qiao An, how dare you sue for divorce behind my back. Hehe, I want to see if you have have the guts and capability. You actually want to fight me. Qiao An, I was too kind to you in the past. From today onwards, I will destroy you without any hesitation. Just you wait.”

Qiao An’s expression was normal. After quietly listening to Li Zecheng’s clamor, she said lightly, “Li Zecheng, your embarrassment seems ridiculous.”

Li Zecheng was like a tiger that had bumped into cotton. All his strength was dissipated by Qiao An’s sneer.

He said angrily, “Grandpa wants you home tonight.”

Qiao An refused very decisively. “Tell him that there’s no possibility of us getting back together, so don’t take the trouble to keep this dilapidated relationship.”

Li Zecheng was furious. “Qiao An, we’re not divorced yet. You’re still the daughter-in-law of our Li family. Come back if I tell you to.”

But Qiao An hung up.

Then, she looked at the caller ID with a headache and realized that Li Zecheng had borrowed First Madam’s phone to call her.

Then, in order to avoid the continuous harassment before court, Qiao An opened her contact list and blacklisted all the contacts with the surname Li.

Li Xiaoran looked at Qiao An and frowned.

“An’an, I’m not with them. If you block me, you’ll accidentally hurt your ally,” Li Xiaoran said unhappily.

Qiao An looked at Li Xiaoran and said meaningfully, “Doctor Li, in the entire Li family, you’re the last person I should interact with.”

With that, Qiao An stood up and left.

Li Xiaoran mulled over Qiao An’s words in confusion. He was open and honest, and was clear about his feelings. Why did Qiao An insist on avoiding him?

However, when he heard Li Zecheng mention that Qiao An had filed for divorce, Li Xiaoran’s lips curled up and his mood inexplicably improved.

On the other end, when Li Zecheng called again, he was reminded that the line was busy. He acutely sensed that Qiao An had blocked this number.

He borrowed Second Aunt’s phone to call Qiao An, but without exception, he was blocked.

Li Zecheng was so angry that his face and neck turned red. His eyes revealed a sinister aura of being teased.

The group of women in the house began to complain about Qiao An’s insensitivity. First Madam said, “This Qiao An is too much. If she wants a divorce, she should at least discuss it with the Li family. If her attitude is good, will our Li family treat her badly?”

The Second Madam was an exquisite egoist. She couldn’t hide her excitement and pretended to blame Qiao An, but she was actually secretly reminding Old Master Li.

“Isn’t that so? Qiao An is still pregnant with our Li family’s flesh and blood. I remember that she has only been pregnant for about three months. Now that she wants a divorce, according to the law, the child during pregnancy will be sentenced to be raised by her mother. In that case, wouldn’t 5% of the Li family’s shares fall into the hands of outsiders?”

Third Madam shouted sharply, “This child is our Li family’s flesh and blood. We can’t give the child to Qiao An.” After saying that, she glanced at Second Madam provocatively.

The old man was so angry that his face turned green. He glared at Li Zecheng and scolded, “Li Zecheng, Qiao An’s intentions are very obvious. She doesn’t accept mediation outside the court. What do you think we should do?”

In front of the dignified Old Master, Li Zecheng was as timid as a quail. His words kept trembling.

“Grandpa, don’t worry. If Qiao An insists on fighting a lawsuit with me, I’ll get the court to insist on a secret trial. It won’t affect the Li family’s reputation.”

Old Master Li said angrily, “That better be the case. If your scandal with Wei Xin is publicized, your reputation will be ruined. At that time, even our Li family won’t be able to protect you.”

Only then did Li Zecheng realize that his affair would have an endless impact on his life. Now, he could only do his best to cover up his scandal.

Old Master Li deliberated for a moment before looking at Li Zecheng with disdain. “Hmph, you bastard. It wasn’t easy for you to get such a smart wife, but you don’t know how to cherish her. Now that your wife is trying her best to deal with you, you can’t fight back at all. This is retribution.”

Li Zecheng’s face turned ashen from the old man’s scolding. He lowered his head, his mind filled with thoughts of returning today’s humiliation to Qiao An.

Although Old Master Li admired his granddaughter-in-law, Qiao An, he was still related to Li Zecheng. When his granddaughter-in-law and grandson’s marriage fell apart, he chose to protect his grandson without hesitation, whether it was for benefits or kinship.

Old Master Li instructed his sons, “You have to spend more effort on Zecheng. If you can mediate with Qiao An, mediate with her. If you can’t, think of a secret trial.”

All three sons nodded. “Yes.”

With the help of the Li family’s uncles, Li Zecheng quickly turned the tables.

Qiao An also felt the difficulty of being surrounded by the Li family.

That day, when Qiao An went to work, the supervisor called her to his office and said apologetically, “Qiao An, logically speaking, you just made a huge contribution to the company and successfully convinced Old Mr. Huo to accept our interview. We should reward you. However, the higher-ups made the decision to fire you.”

It was like a bolt of lightning from the clear sky, striking Qiao An dumb.

She vaguely guessed that this matter was related to the Li family, but she did not know which master of the Li family did it.

Qiao An didn’t beg. Instead, she accepted this decision very calmly. Because she knew that if she cried and made a fuss, she would express all her unhappiness and only let the enemy taste the fruits of victory.

Qiao An returned to her seat, packed her things briefly, went to the human resources department to sign the termination letter, and left the company.

At the entrance of the Hai Yue Corporation, a Maybach was parked on the side. Seeing Qiao An come out, the Maybach’s door opened.

The person who walked out was actually his father-in-law.

Li Zecheng followed behind.

A mocking sneer appeared on Qiao An’s beautiful face. Her father-in-law, a man who had almost no presence in the family, a man who stayed with other women every day, actually appeared when she and Li Zecheng divorced.

It was obvious that the Li family placed great importance on the divorce.

“Qiao An, let’s find a place to talk.” Li Tingfeng walked up to Qiao An with a cold expression, his aura suppressing Qiao An.

Qiao An said, “Let’s talk here.” The Sea View Corporation was the largest media outlet in the country. It gathered the best reporters and writers.

Qiao An was doing this for her own safety.

Her blatant defense against the Li family made Li Zecheng furious. “Qiao An, are we going to eat you up?”

Qiao An made as if to leave. “If you have something to say, say it. I don’t have time to tangle with you.”
