After a long time, Old Master Li came back to his senses. “Zecheng, go and see if Qiao An is alright.”
Only then did Li Zecheng recover from his shock. He quickly chased after her.
However, Loco put Qiao An into the car that had been prepared in advance. As soon as they got into the car, the driver stepped on the accelerator and disappeared at the entrance of the clubhouse.
Li Zecheng looked at the empty street and his gaze landed on the fresh blood scattered on the ground. He fell into a state of panic.
He really didn’t expect Qiao An to be so decisive. In order to divorce him, she even used such a decisive method to abort the child.
At that moment, Li Zecheng’s heart felt empty. It was as if Qiao An had dug out a large piece of his heart. The strong sense of loss made him almost collapse.
So Qiao An hated him so much? She did not want to stay by his side for a moment.
What right did she have? She clearly had no power or influence. His conditions were so good. Even if he had many flaws, he was still a good catch. Why was she not satisfied?
Also, the shares he had dreamed of were now gone. His desire to climb to the peak of power was gone because of this child’s sacrifice.
It was Qiao An who had ruined his life.
However, Li Zecheng seemed to be unable to hate her.
After all, he had destroyed Qiao An first. He had once thought that a small woman like Qiao An was no match for him.
Now, he knew that she had remembered all his schemes and make him pay bit by bit.
At the clubhouse, Old Master Li instructed the butler to clear the scene. The guests dispersed, leaving only Wei Xin, who was reluctant to part with Li Zecheng, and Huo Zhou, who was worried about Li Xiaoran.
The lobby was a mess.
The ground was covered in blood. Third Madam looked at the bright red color and sat on the chair in a daze. She muttered, “The child is gone? How can Qiao An be so heartless? She actually aborted Zecheng’s child?”
Old Master Li, who wanted to hug his great-grandson even in his dreams, was furious. He pointed at Third Madam and Third Son and scolded, “It’s all your fault for causing our precious great-grandson to die. You…”
He pointed at Third Madam and scolded, “You don’t look like a mother-in-law at all. Think about when Qiao An first entered the family. She bowed to you and listened to you. Yet, you made things difficult for her.”
Third Madam defended herself. “Dad, I didn’t.” Perhaps she felt that what she had done to Qiao An was a small matter. A man like his master wouldn’t mind.
The old man accused her angrily. “Don’t think I don’t know about the wicked things you did. There are nannies in every room, but in order to make things difficult for Qiao An, you lied that Li Zecheng couldn’t get used to the food cooked by the nanny and insisted that Qiao An do it herself. She’s a beautiful girl, but she’s reduced to being your free nanny.
You even put away Li Zecheng’s salary card and didn’t give Qiao An any living expenses. She still had to go online to find a part-time job to support herself.
At that time, Qiao An’s love was paramount. You bullied her like this, but she accepted it all. When you were sick, she served you tea and asked about your well-being. You didn’t cherish such a good daughter-in-law. You instigated Li Zecheng to have an affair and ruined a good marriage.
You are simply our Li family’s jinx.”
The old man was furious.
When his third son, Li Tingfeng, heard that his wife had done so many unreliable things, he immediately jumped up in anger and raised his hand to slap Third Madam.
“It’s all your fault, you wastrel. You broke up our family. I want to divorce you.”
Third Madam knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy. “Hubby, I was in the wrong. But as the mother of the child, isn’t Qiao An too heartless to abort the child?”
The old man was so angry that he could not speak properly. He said, “Why did she abort the child? It’s all because you guys went too far and forced her to resist.”
Third Madam was scolded by her husband and father-in-law and started crying.
At this moment, Wei Xin suddenly walked up while trembling. She knelt in front of Third Madam and told Old Master, “Grandpa, I know you like children. You’re all very sad that Qiao An’s child is gone. However, I’m also carrying Zecheng’s child. He’s also the great-grandson of your Li family. Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll definitely give birth to a healthy and smart great-grandson for you.”
Wei Xin’s mind was racing. She thought that the old man had lost the great-grandson in Qiao An’s stomach and was feeling sad. The child in her stomach was just enough to make up for the old man’s pain.
In that case, she might even be able to officially take over.
Third Madam looked at Wei Xin kindly. “Wei Xin, get up quickly. You’re carrying the bloodline of our Li family.”
Wei Xin was very happy. She thought that since Third Madam had acknowledged the identity of the child in her stomach, her father-in-law and grandfather would probably compromise.
Unexpectedly, Old Master Li did not even look at her. He snorted coldly and said disdainfully, “Not everyone’s IQ can catch up to Qiao An’s. Only the child Qiao An gave birth to for our Li family will inherit Qiao An’s smart, kind, and humble character. He is the great-grandson I want the most.”
Then, he glanced at Wei Xin in disdain and snorted. “There are many women in the world who can give birth. However, only the children of women with good character and outstanding education can obtain my approval. If you can’t obtain my approval, I won’t allow any of you to bring any woman back to the Li family.”
Wei Xin was ashamed.
At this moment, she felt lonely and unwilling. She had carefully planned this. She thought that she could rely on her son to rise in status. She did not expect Old Master Lito be so resistant to illegitimate children entering the Li family.
Wei Xin refused to give up. “Grandpa, Brother Zecheng and Qiao An are about to get a divorce. At that time, Brother Zecheng and I will get married. This child is the Li family’s legitimate great-grandson…”
Before she could finish, Old Master Li slammed the teacup in his hand on the coffee table.
Clearly he was angry.
“Wei Xin, I’ll be blunt today. As long as I’m still alive, you’ll never be able to enter our Li family.”
With that, he instructed the butler bluntly, “Send the guest away.”
Wei Xin stood up in a sorry state. When she walked to Li Zecheng’s side, she reached out and tugged at Li Zecheng’s sleeve, hoping that he could help her put in a good word.
However, Li Zecheng was afraid that the old man would make things difficult for her. How could he dare to speak up for Wei Xin? He shook off her hand.
Tears rolled down Wei Xin’s face.
The butler urged, “Miss Wei, let’s go.”
Wei Xin left helplessly.
