Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce-Chapter 57 - A Trap

With that, Qiao An stormed off.

Wei Xin was anxious. “Brother Zecheng, what should we do? She wants us to return the money. Do we really have to return it to her?”

Li Zecheng’s face darkened. “What else can we do? Do you want our affair to be exposed?”

Wei Xin cried, “But where can I find so much money? It’s not like you don’t know that I’ve used up most of the money you gave me.”

Li Zecheng said impatiently, “Deal with the houses under your and your mother’s names first. Raise as much money as you can. I’ll think of the rest.”

When Wei Xin heard that she was going to have to sell the houses, her entire body went limp.

Qiao An was really ruthless. She took drastic measures and beat her up before she was liberated. She made her return to the time when she had nothing.

Wei Xin was indignant. “Brother Zecheng, I’ve given you so many years. Even if I didn’t contribute, I still worked hard. Can you bear to treat me like this?”

Li Zecheng said, ” Do you think I want to? Let’s get through this crisis first. When I get the shares in her hands, I’ll compensate you.”

Only then did Wei Xin reluctantly agree to sell her house to raise money.

Next, Li Zecheng and Wei Xin counted the bank notes. In the past two years, he had actually transferred a huge sum of 110 million to Wei Xin.

Li Zecheng glanced at Wei Xin meaningfully. His gaze was very complicated. He was actually blaming her for being extravagant and not knowing how to be thrifty.

“In the future, you should learn from Qiao An.”

Wei Xin’s ears turned slightly red. “Oh, I understand.”

The two houses could be sold for 20 million at most, and the jewelry and bags could also be exchanged for a portion of the money. There was at least a gap of 40 to 50 million.

Li Zecheng was helpless and could only ask his mother for help.

After Third Madam found out about the situation, especially when she heard Qiao An threatening Li Ze with a divorce, she was furious.

“Who does that Qiao An think she is? If I don’t teach her a lesson today, she will really think that she is the queen of the family and can take advantage of anyone.”

Then, Third Madam went to Star Palace with high spirits.

Because of her pregnancy, Qiao An had been feeling weak from time to time. Most of the time, she lay weakly on the bed.

When Third Madam arrived at Star Palace, she saw Qiao An lying on the bed and Li Zecheng carefully serving her. She felt very upset.

She reprimanded Qiao An sarcastically, “Sigh, other people’s wives are pregnant, but they still work and serve tea to men. Isn’t the fetus still fine? Qiao An, why are you so delicate?”

A cold smile appeared in Qiao An’s eyes.

Third Madam had always felt sorry for her son and despised her as his wife. She would just turn a blind eye. After all, motherly love was sometimes selfish.

However, Third Madam looked down on a pregnant woman like her not only because of her motherly love, but also because she lacked empathy. It seemed that if she did not teach her mother-in-law a lesson, she would not have a peaceful life in the future.

Qiao An lifted the blanket and pretended to get out of bed. “Since Mom has said so, I’ll get up and serve you. What do you want to eat and drink?”

Third Madam was very smug. “I’ll have a cup of lemon blossom tea. And squeeze some morphine for Zecheng.”

Li Zecheng was not as muddle-headed as Third Madam. Qiao An’s life was cheap, but the child in Qiao An’s stomach was very precious.

If anything happened to the child, Grandpa would definitely not return the shares to him in a fit of anger.

Li Zecheng kept winking at Third Madam, but Third Madam looked like she didn’t care about Qiao An at all.

When Qiao An came to the kitchen, Third Madam’s nagging voice could be heard. “As a wife, you should act like one. You have to serve your husband humbly and make him look good. Your husband has a lot of socializing outside and needs a lot of money. A virtuous wife should learn to be independent and not only focus on your husband’s wallet.”

Qiao An suddenly realized that her mother-in-law was here to play second fiddle.

It seemed that when she had ordered the vixen to return the money and forced Li Zecheng into a corner, he had asked his mother for help.

Qiao An was in a good mood. She had finally hit them back.

When Qiao An came out with the juice, her mother-in-law even said bluntly, “Qiao An, the money Zecheng spent on Wei Xin isn’t much. Let this matter go. Don’t mention it again.”

Qiao An slowly placed the juice on the coffee table.

Third Madam and Li Zecheng secretly checked her expression to see her reaction to this matter. Seeing that she was neither angry nor responding, the two of them did not know what she was thinking. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

After a long time, Qiao An said casually, “Mom, this is between me and Zecheng. Don’t interfere.”

This was the first time Qiao An had spoken to Third Madam so stubbornly. Third Madam was so angry that she overturned the two glasses of fruit juice and stood up. “Qiao An, are you rebelling? You don’t even care about Mom’s words, right?”

Qiao An looked at Third Madam in shock.

Third Madam felt that she was still timid. Just as she was feeling smug, Qiao An suddenly held her stomach and squatted on the ground, her face filled with pain.

“Honey, my stomach hurts,” Qiao An said.

Li Zecheng was worried that something would happen to the child, and his face turned pale.

“I’ll send you to the hospital to protect the baby.”

Li Zecheng and Third Madam sent Qiao An to the hospital in a panic. The obstetrician did a detailed examination of Qiao An and then instructed Li Zecheng very seriously, “The fetus is unstable in the first few months. You must take care of the pregnant woman’s emotions. Don’t agitate her.”

Li Zecheng glared at Third Madam bitterly. “Mom, if Grandpa finds out about this, I’m afraid Old Master will fly into a rage. You’ll suffer again.”

Third Madam straightened her neck and said, “How many years has it been since she entered the Li family? She hasn’t even stabilized her footing. How can Old Master punish me for her?”

It was unknown how the old man found out about this matter. He rushed to the hospital and slapped Third Madam without asking.

The old man said angrily, “You’re extremely stupid. Qiao An is your daughter-in-law, and she’s pregnant with your grandson. Are you deliberately provoking her to kill my great-grandson?”

Third Madam covered her burning face and cried in grievance.

“Dad, you misunderstood me. I really didn’t want to hurt this child. I just couldn’t stand some of Qiao An’s actions and taught her a few things. How could I have known that her body was so fragile?”

The old man roared, “What did Qiao An do that you can’t stand? Tell me, I’ll uphold justice for you today? Huh?”

How could Third Madam dare to say what was on her mind the when Old Master despise affairs, especially if they occurred in the family? If she revealed that Qiao An had asked Wei Xin to return the money, wouldn’t it confirm Li Zecheng and Wei Xin’s affair?

The old man snorted. “Hmph, you don’t dare to say it? It’s obvious that you’re being unreasonable. Such a muddle-headed mother-in-law must be severely punished. You’re not allowed to step into the Star Palace again.”
