Chapter 385 - 385 A Windfall

385 A Windfall

Seeing Qiao An, the woman was clearly stunned.

Her valiant aura instantly weakened. She also knew that every time she fought Qiao An, she didn’t gain any advantage.

“Qiao An, I’ll be your third sister-in-law in the future. I hope you can recognize the situation. It won’t do you any harm to stand on my side.” The woman analyzed the pros and cons for Qiao An.

“When you and Fourth Brother go home in the future, we’ll see each other often. Why make things so tense?”

Qiao An’s thin lips curled into a teasing sneer. “Have you registered your marriage?”

The woman was instantly like a frosted radish. “It’s all because of this woman. She refused to divorce Tingfeng. Otherwise, Tingfeng would have gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau with me to get married immediately.”

Qiao An said, “The world is unpredictable. Then let’s talk about it when you’re my third sister-in-law.”

Qiao An looked down at Huang Yushu. The once domineering woman was now injured in many places and had been expelled by her husband, but she could not fight back. Qiao An sighed.

“Qiao An, help me.” Huang Yushu suddenly tugged at Qiao An’s pants and begged, “I know I’ve done many things to let you down. You must hate me very much. Originally, I was too ashamed to beg you. But now, I’m really desperate. Please help me call Zecheng and Ze’en and tell them about my current situation.”

Qiao An glanced at the maid beside her. The maid had once been a servant of the third branch and was especially loyal to Huang Yushu.

But now, the maid had changed sides and started to listen to the new wife’s orders.

Huang Yushu said angrily, “Li Tingfeng doesn’t allow the servants of the third branch to bother with me anymore. He wants to completely cut off my path.”

If the servants had been bribed by Li Tingfeng, could it be that the brothers and sisters-in-law of the other families also refused to help Huang Yushu?

Qiao An glanced at the two sisters-in-law beside her and saw their heads drooping, looking powerless.

Huang Yushu must have seen Qiao An’s confusion. She complained angrily, “Li Tingfeng is lucky. I don’t know where he got his fortune from. In order to curry favor with him, the first and second branches turned a blind eye to his actions.”

Qiao An understood.

They were blinded by greed.

Faced with Third Madam’s request for help, Qiao An did not make a decision immediately. While she was conflicted, Li Tingfeng walked out.

After a few days, his depression was gone. His face was rosy and high-spirited.

And he looked at Qiao An with contempt. “Qiao An, I advise you to mind your own business. Otherwise…” His eyes emitted a sinister and terrifying cold light.

Qiao An said, “Otherwise what?”

Li Tingfeng said, “Otherwise, don’t blame me for not reminding you when the fourth branch suffers a calamity.”

Qiao An’s eyes darkened.

It seemed that Li Tingfeng had made a mistake in making friends. She inexplicably thought he could be smuggling drugs. It was really a shortcut for a person to reverse their fortune in a short time.

Horrified by her thoughts, Qiao An shook her head, thinking she shouldn’t presume until she understood what was going on.

Qiao An said to Third Madam, “Third Sister-in-law, you saw it. It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I don’t dare to.”

Huang Yushu closed her eyes in despair.

Then, she suddenly opened her blood-red eyes and gritted her teeth as she scolded Li Tingfeng, “Li Tingfeng, you’ll definitely suffer retribution for treating me like this. I’ll wait for your retribution.”

Li Tingfeng stepped forward, grabbed her hair, and slapped her more than ten times.

Third Madam’s face instantly turned red and swollen.

Li Tingfeng cursed, “Bitch, if you hadn’t schemed against me and attacked my daughter and son, I would have treated you well today. But you’re too good at courting death.”

Third Madam glared at him. “If our son and daughter find out what you’ve done to me, they won’t let you off.”

“Hmph, I pretended to live a good life with you. I tricked Li Zecheng into running a company overseas. He won’t be back for a year or so. As for Ze’en, I gave her a lot of money to travel the world. Who knows what she will encounter on the way? Perhaps she won’t come back for the rest of her life.”

“You… Li Tingfeng, you’re so ruthless.” Third Madam pounced over angrily and bit Li Tingfeng.

Li Tingfeng shook her off angrily and instructed the servant, “Throw her on the streets and let her beg for a living.”

Qiao An shuddered at the blatant abandonment of the dross. Who was backing Li Tingfeng up to make him so unscrupulous?

Huo Xiaoran couldn’t stand it anymore. He wanted to teach Li Tingfeng a lesson, but Qiao An held his hand tightly and shook her head, indicating for him to calm down.

Only then did Huo Xiaoran stop.

Seeing that the usually domineering Qiao An had given in, the woman was even more smug.

Huang Yushu was dragged out by the servant like a dead dog. She cursed, “What prestigious family are you talking about? This is clearly a hell that eats people without spitting out their bones.”

That day at the banquet, Li Tingfeng instructed the kitchen to make many luxurious delicacies. His style was clearly that of the master of the Li family. However, the first and second branches did not dare to say anything.

During the meal, Qiao An quietly asked Second Sister-in-law, “Why is Third Brother so arrogant?”

The Second Madam looked envious. “Isn’t he lucky? The company was on the verge of bankruptcy, but he suddenly accepted a big order. Not only did the company come back to life, but he can also earn billions. I heard that the big shot said that as long as your third brother does well, he will work with him for a long time in the future.”

Had it fallen into his lap?

Qiao An looked at the woman opposite her and smiled, but she could see her forehead darken. The end was coming.

She really could not understand. Li Tingfeng was already old. Didn’t he learn how to scheme and haggle?

The big shot did business with him, but he gave him unlimited benefits. Was the big shot a fool?

Or was there an ulterior motive?

The entire dinner was a bargaining chip for Li Tingfeng and the other woman to show off their wealth. Li Tingfeng even boasted, “Xiaoran, I know you’re not cheap, but your cash flow might not be more abundant than Third Brother’s. If you need money in the future, tell me and I can invest in your company.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at him silently and went straight to the point. “I wonder how much money Third Brother earned this month?”

Li Tingfeng smiled smugly. “Not much, not much. Just a few hundred million.”

Huo Xiaoran said coldly, “Oh, the first bucket of gold I earned in my life was a neurin I developed in half a day. I earned a billion on the first day.”

The Li family only knew that Huo Xiaoran was poor in the past, but they did not know that he was so good at earning money when he was studying.

At that time, it was already like this. Now, he was probably at his peak.
