Qiao An nodded in response. “Yes, public displays of affection die quickly.”

She meant what she said. Instantly, everyone in the lobby turned to look at her.

Li Zecheng looked at her in panic and smiled. “Honey, what nonsense are you talking about? Uncle and Lu Mo’s love marathon has finally come to fruition. It’s not appropriate for you to say that about them.”

Qiao An looked at him grimly. “I was referring to us.”

Li Zecheng’s expression changed instantly.

Li Zecheng lowered his voice and said angrily, “Qiao An, can you not embarrass me in the Li family? You’ve embarrassed me many times since yesterday.”

Qiao An suddenly pushed him away and maneuvered the wheelchair herself toward the old man.

“Grandpa, I want to divorce Li Zecheng.” Although her voice was soft, it was like a bomb that blew up the room.

Li Xiaoran looked at her in shock. He didn’t know that Qiao An and Li Zecheng’s relationship had already reached the point of falling apart.

Haven’t they always been loving?

Qiao An’s mother-in-law said sarcastically, “Qiao An, you don’t know what’s good for you. Zecheng loves you so much, and you still want to divorce him?”

Resigned, Qiao An said, “I can’t afford his love.”

The old man looked at Qiao An quietly, and she looked determined. The old man had seen a lot in his life and he knew that she was determined to get a divorce.

However, the Li family’s new company was going to be listed. If their grandson and granddaughter-in-law divorced at this time, it would definitely affect the Li family’s reputation.

“Qiao An, you have to give me a reasonable reason for your divorce from Zecheng, right?” The old man pretended to be confused.

Qiao An said, “Your precious grandson cheated on me”

Li Zecheng lost control and roared, “Qiao An, how many times do I have to say this? Wei Xin and I are really just normal friends. Don’t frame me without evidence.”

The old man had no intention of berating Li Zecheng.

Qiao An knew that at the critical moment, the old man’s heart still favored his grandson.

Qiao An opened her handbag and took out a thick envelope. She tore it open and scattered the photos inside onto Li Zecheng. He said angrily, “Li Zecheng, open your eyes and take a look. Do these count as evidence?”

The photos flew into the air and landed on the ground. They were all photos of Li Zecheng and Wei Xin dating.

Li Zecheng’s face turned pale.

Li Xiaoran picked up the photo on the ground. It was a photo of Li Zecheng and Wei Xin kissing.

Li Xiaoran’s expression instantly became sinister and terrifying.

Seeing that the situation was not in Li Zecheng’s favor, Third Madam quickly jumped out and comforted Qiao An. “An’an, Zecheng might be a little close to Wei Xin, but you also know that he’s a man. It’s inevitable for men to make mistakes sometimes. As a wife, you should be more magnanimous. Turn a blind eye and let life pass.”

Qiao An scoffed. “What makes you think I’d keep a disloyal dog?”

Third Madam was furious, but this was not the time to argue with Qiao An. She held Qiao An’s hand affectionately and said, “An’an, Zecheng is young and promising. If you stay married to him, you’ll be a golden couple. It’s better for him to give you a life of luxury than for you to go out and earn money yourself.”

Qiao An grabbed an emerald-green piece of jewelry from her bag and said sarcastically, “Your so-called luxurious life is wearing jewelry that you eliminated? Even my wedding ring is an accessory that your lover doesn’t want?”

Third Madam and Li Zecheng’s faces turned pale. They did not expect Qiao An, who usually did not care about benefits, to bring such a matter to the table. It made them seem too stingy.

Li Zecheng was humiliated and roared at Qiao An, “Qiao An, do you have to bring those trivial matters to the table?”

Qiao An said, “Details depend on character.”

Li Zecheng’s face darkened.

Was he blaming Qiao An?

Qiao An smiled. “Since you don’t want to hear the little things, I’ll talk about the important ones.”

Annoyed, Qiao An said, “Grandpa, what I just said does seem trivial compared to what I’m about to say.”

Her cold gaze landed lightly on Li Zecheng. It was a ruthless gaze that could kill. Li Zecheng actually shuddered.

Qiao An’s lips parted slightly, and he said faintly, “Your grandson secretly transferred assets and put his debt in my name. It’s flattering to call such a man a disloyal dog. It should be said that he’s a wolf, a ruthless Middle Mountain wolf.”

Li Zecheng roared, “Qiao An, you’re slandering me.”

Jo Ann sneered. “You know damn well I didn’t slander you. Li Zecheng, if you want proof, I can give it to you, but that’s when we go to court.”

Li Zecheng’s face was ashen.

He had never dreamed that the usually silly Qiao An would be so scheming. Not only had she secretly sent someone to investigate him, but she had also quietly obtained so much evidence.

However, Li Zecheng quickly understood and said with a sinister smile, “Qiao An, you spied on me, didn’t you? Let me tell you, that’s illegal. Hmph, if you really dare to give evidence to the court, you’ll also be sued.”

Qiao An said coldly, “Li Zecheng, it’s worth it to drag a mountain wolf like you from the peak of glory to hell.”

Li Zecheng was a little overwhelmed by Qiao An’s unexpected counterattack. He stood there, covered in dust, and looked at Qiao An.

“Qiao An , you’re crazy.”

Qiao An said, “You were the one who drove me to the brink.”

Seeing that Qiao An was amenable to coaxing but not coercion, Li Zecheng suppressed his anger and coaxed her good-naturedly. “Qiao An, stop fooling around. Don’t you just resent me for not saving you when I was in the ruins? As I said, that was an accident. I was going to save you. You were the one who couldn’t hold back and jumped off the building first.”

Qiao An laughed coldly. “An accident? You deliberately stalled for time and didn’t save me, but you quickly appeared after Wei Xin was kidnapped. Was that also an accident?”

Li Zecheng frowned. He was a little surprised. The usually carefree Qiao An had become so meticulous and wise.

Li Zecheng argued, “After you disappeared, I had to spend time investigating your whereabouts. I also wanted to rush to your side as soon as possible, but the kidnappers were too cunning.”

“Coincidentally, after Wei Xin was kidnapped, you were able to track me down. Hehe, isn’t that right?” Qiao An laughed weakly. Laughter was the best way to fight back against Li Zecheng’s lies.

Li Zecheng’s hair stood on end at her laughter. He shrugged and said, “Believe it or not.”

Seeing that Li Zecheng was not contrite at all, Qiao An’s heart turned cold. Her eyes were red as she roared, “Li Zecheng, how can there be so many accidents in this world? If you hadn’t chosen to save Wei Xin between me and Wei Xin and pushed me to the kidnappers, how could I have jumped off the building so decisively?”
