Chapter 52: Sowing Discord

Li Zecheng was slightly dazed.

She felt that Qiao An had become very different from before. Even if she spoke to you gently, she could give you the feeling of winter.

Li Zecheng said perfunctorily, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep a distance from other women in the future. I won’t let you misunderstand again.”

Misunderstanding?

Qiao An smiled and said, “Then call Miss Wei now. Tell her not to pester you in the future. Also, the things you’ve given her in the past two years have been bought with our marital assets. Shouldn’t you ask her to spit them out and return them to me?”

Li Zecheng was dumbfounded. All these years, he had spent more money on Wei Xin than on Qiao An.

If Wei Xin really spat out this huge sum of money, he would be nailed to the pillar of shame for cheating and abusing his first wife. Then, he would never be able to raise his head again.

Therefore, even if Li Zecheng wanted to vomit, he did not dare to vomit it all out.

Li Zecheng was certain that Qiao An did not have evidence of him transferring the money to Wei Xin, so he decided to comfort Qiao An first. “An An, don’t worry. I’ll get her to return it to you later.”

Qiao An smiled sweetly. “Okay.” She deserved it.

After Qiao An and Li Zecheng got back together, in order to salvage their public image, the Li family tried their best to defend Li Zecheng.

Was the so-called cheating a misunderstanding?

Was Li Zecheng and his first wife very close?

… .

However, no matter what they said, as the person involved, Qiao An had to keep quiet. The effect of refuting the rumors was minimal.

Li Zecheng could only beg Qiao An humbly, “Honey, our relationship has been reconciled. Help me publish an article and refute the rumors.”

“What rumors?” Qiao An asked knowingly.

Li Zecheng said shamelessly, “Just the rumors circulating online? The rumors that I cheated on my wife and forced you to jump off a building and even forced my mother-in-law to death?”

Jo Ann stared hard at him. “Those are rumors?”

Li Zecheng said angrily, “Honey, you’re not serious about living with me, are you? Your husband is living such a miserable life. With just a word, you can save me from danger. Why aren’t you helping me?”

Qiao An looked at him as if he was a treasure. “What about you? Are you serious about living with me?”

Li Zecheng straightened his neck and said, “Of course.”

Qiao An said, “Then why don’t you ask Wei Xin for the assets that belong to our family?”

Li Zecheng was speechless.

Qiao An knew that he couldn’t be that heartless to Wei Xin, so she could only add fuel to the fire. “When you ask for those things back, I shall refute the rumors for you.”

Li Zecheng wanted to restore his glorious days too much. He agreed without thinking. “Just you wait.”

When Li Xiaoran saw these distorted reports on the Internet, he was very puzzled. With Qiao An’s character of hating evil, how could she tolerate the Li family saving Li Zecheng?

In order to understand the details, he decided to learn the truth from his sister, Li Tingting.

Li Xiaoran came to the place where his sister worked—the legal department of the Li Corporation.

From the moment he stepped into the building, gazes kept landing on him.

He was tall to begin with, and his figure could be said to be in the golden ratio. He was simply a walking clothes rack. He also exuded an innate nobility that was not inferior to any of the Li family’s descendants. As he walked into the Li Corporation building, cries of surprise continuously sounded.

“Ah, so handsome.”

“Is he a big star?”

When Li Tingting heard that a big star had come to the company, the star-struck Li Tingting immediately ran out, only to see Li Xiaoran coming in gracefully.

“Fourth Brother, oh my god, what brought you here? You’re dressed so handsome. Are you here to wash our eyes?” Li Tingting asked playfully.

Li Xiaoran wore a white coat most of the time and rarely wore his own private clothes. Although they were all simple clothes, he could still wear them with an overbearing noble aura.

“You’re being talkative again,” Li Xiaoran said with a graceful smile.

Li Tingting said, “Fourth Brother, it’s rare for you to come to the Li Corporation building. How about it? Do you think the Li Corporation building is still fresher and more refined than the disinfected hospital? And the beauties here are more pleasing to the eye than your perverted female patients?”

Li Xiaoran nodded. “Indeed.”

Li Tingting had never stopped persuading Li Xiaoran to enter the business world. She smiled awkwardly and asked, “Then do you want to work at the Li Corporation?”

Li Xiaoran said, “I’m fine now.”

Li Tingting said dejectedly, “I can’t persuade you. Tell me, why are you here?”

Li Xiaoran’s expression turned serious. “Tingting, I want to know what dishonorable means the Li family used to force Qiao An to accept their propaganda of distorting the truth.”

Speaking of this, Li Tingting had some complaints.

Because Qiao An, an outsider, actually got as many shares as her because of her son.

Li Tingting said angrily, “Brother, I always thought that Qiao An was a self-reliant girl. I didn’t expect her to get back together with Li Zecheng for the five percent shares. She even wanted to give birth to Li Zecheng’s child. I was wrong. She’s a vain person.”

Li Xiaoran felt his strength instantly sucked away, and a dense pain spread throughout his body.

He could never believe that Qiao An was the kind of person who would sell her feelings for money.

“Qiao An, I lost again.”

Li Xiaoran smiled bitterly.

How was he inferior to that refined scum, Li Zecheng?

Li Xiaoran didn’t dare to tell Father Qiao the truth about Qiao An and Li Zecheng getting back together. After all, Father Qiao had been looking forward to Qiao An and Li Zecheng’s divorce. He could only persuade Father Qiao to leave the capital first. “Uncle, An An and Li Zecheng’s divorce has too many implications. The dust won’t settle for a while. Why don’t you send Auntie back first and let her be buried in peace?”

Mr. Qiao held Li Xiaoran’s hand tightly as tears flickered in his eyes. “Xiaoran, you’re Qiao An’s benefactor. I thank you on her behalf.”

On the day Father Qiao left the capital, Li Xiaoran took leave for the first time and personally drove Father Qiao home.

Going to Qiao An’s hometown and seeing the place where Qiao An had once lived was his long-cherished wish.

Qiao An changed all the nicknames back on her social platforms.

From “Qiao An” to “Mrs. Li Qiao An”.

She even sent a lovey-dovey message: “It’s better to be the OTP.” The photo was of her and Li Zecheng’s interlocked hands.

Every day, Qiao An would show off their love on WeChat Moments.

Her friends complained, “Beauty Qiao, is it appropriate for you to show off your love publicly?”

Amidst the harmonious comments, a strange comment appeared.
