Li Zecheng smiled awkwardly and reached out to hold Qiao An’s hand. He promised her affectionately, “An’an, I know I was wrong. I didn’t think so much at that time. I just felt that you were calmer and wiser than Wei Xin and that you could protect yourself in the hands of the kidnappers. However, Wei Xin is innocent and timid. She might not be able to protect herself. I was muddle-headed and chose to save her. Please forgive your husband.”
“I know what I did was wrong and broke your heart. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make it up to you for the rest of my life. Isn’t your mother sick? I’ll transfer her to the capital right away and contact the best hospital, the best doctor. I’ll definitely cure her.”
All businessmen are evil.
Li Zecheng knew too well how to take advantage of Qiao An’s weakness and subdue all of his reverse scales.
Annoyed, Qiao An shook off his hand. “My father said my mother would rather die before using the money of a scumbag son-in-law like you.”
Li Zecheng was embarrassed.
Old Master Li looked at the intense battle between Qiao An and Li Zecheng. Qiao An’s careful steps and Li Zecheng’s confusion made him admire Qiao An’s wisdom even more.
He also realized that a woman like Qiao An, who hated evil, would not only destroy Li Zecheng, but also the entire Li family.
The old man was very disappointed in Li Zecheng.
He pointed at Li Zecheng angrily and roared, “Beat this useless unfilial son to death.”
Third Madam was so frightened that she almost fainted.
Li Zecheng quickly knelt in front of the old man and apologized. “Grandpa, I was wrong. Please forgive me.”
The old man was furious. “You will be beaten up until your wife can forgive you.”
Soon, a tiger whip was invited up. The law enforcer was the old butler of the family. He was once a soldier and was very strong. With a whip, Li Zecheng lay on the ground.
Third Madam was so frightened that her face turned ashen. She immediately begged Qiao An to forgive Li Zecheng.
“An’an, I know that you’re kind-hearted. You definitely can’t bear to see Zecheng suffer like this. I beg you, please plead with the Old Master for Zecheng.”
Qiao An stood her ground.
She looked coldly at Li Zecheng, who was lying on the ground like a turtle, and said coldly, “Your heart aches just like that? Compared to my seven days of being beaten up by the kidnappers, it’s really not worth mentioning.”
When the old butler heard this, he could only increase his strength.
In the end, Third Madam knelt in front of Qiao An and kowtowed. “An’an, Mom was wrong. Mom shouldn’t have underestimated you in the past, let alone given you those defective products that I didn’t want. Please save Zecheng for the sake of us.”
When Li Zecheng was beaten until he was bleeding, the other uncles also began to plead for him.
“Qiao An, please forgive him.”
Qiao An remained unmoved.
Li Zecheng roared at Qiao An, “Qiao An, why are you so ruthless?”
Li Xiaoran glared at Li Zecheng and said fiercely, “Li Zecheng, can’t you bear such a small punishment? When Qiao An jumped down from the fifth floor, not a single part of her body was intact. You would only have the right to speak if you experience her pain.”
Li Zecheng glanced at Qiao An, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and fell silent.
Everyone knew that the old man had beaten Li Zecheng up to help Qiao An vent her anger. They had thought that Qiao An would take pity on Li Zecheng and take the initiative to plead for him.
But none of them had expected QIao An to be able to leave him in the lurch.
Her ruthlessness showed that she had already cut ties with Li Zecheng.
Seeing that Li Zecheng had fainted, the Third Madam suddenly ran over and lay on Li Zecheng to suffer for her son.
The butler had no choice but to stop.
Third Madam begged the old man, “Dad, you saw it. Qiao An won’t plead for Zecheng. She no longer has any feelings for him.”
The old man said angrily, “Who can you blame? He reaps what he sowed.”
The old man could tell that Qiao An was determined. He couldn’t bear to kill his grandson. In the end, he sighed silently and waved to the others. “Carry him down. I’ll have a chat with Qiao An.”
Li Zecheng was carried out like a stray dog.
The others filed out.
However, Li Xiaoran seemed to have yet to recover from the tragic experience Qiao An had suffered and was in a daze.
Lu Mo held his arm and said gently, “Senior, let’s go out.”
Li Xiaoran walked out in a daze.
Li Zecheng was sprawled on the long sofa in the side hall. Third Madam wiped her tears and scolded Qiao An for being heartless.
“Such a good wife you have. She almost killed you.”
Li Zecheng’s heart palpitated when he heard Qiao An’s name. “Mom, please don’t mention her. My back hurts. Quickly call Uncle over for me to take a look.”
Li Xiaoran walked to Li Zecheng’s side, his eyes colder than ice.
“Does it hurt?” he asked blankly.
Li Zecheng groaned. “It hurts. It hurts so much.”
“You’re really useless. Qiao An jumped down from the fifth floor and she didn’t scream as miserably as you did,” Li Xiaoran said coldly.
“Uncle, which side are you on? I’m your nephew,” Li Zecheng said.
Li Xiaoran tore open his clothes and pressed his beautiful fingers hard on his wound. Li Zecheng’s face was as pale as paper from the pain and he screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
“Ah. Li Xiaoran, are you deliberately messing with me?”
Li Xiaoran said disdainfully, “You’re really spoiled. You can’t even withstand this little pain. Don’t worry, they’re all superficial wounds. Your bones and tendons are not injured. In order to prevent infection, you’d better go to the hospital for a few days.”
Li Zecheng cherished his life. When he heard that his injuries were serious, he immediately agreed to go to the hospital.
Third Madam’s attitude towards her son’s hospitalization was much more positive than her attitude towards her wife’s hospitalization.
She helped Li Zecheng prepare the daily necessities for his admission to the hospital and even asked Li Xiaoran to give him the most expensive medicine.
Li Xiaoran was very angry because when Qiao An was hospitalized, they avoided her like the plague.
Human nature was cold.
Qiao An and Old Master Li were left alone in the large lobby.
The old man suddenly begged Qiao An, “Qiao An, Grandpa knows that Zecheng betrayed you in this marriage. But I have a presumptuous request. Can you not divorce Zecheng for the time being?”
Jo Ann refused firmly. “Grandpa, you’re making things difficult for me.”
The old man said, “I’m not covering up for my bastard grandson. I’m… I have my difficulties.”
