Chapter 46: Mother Qiao Dies, Conflict Deepens
Mother Qiao was very good at using the power of public opinion. She said to the people who were filming, “Take photos of this adulterous couple. This man is Li Zecheng, the grandson of the Capital’s Medicine King, the Li family. He’s also my son-in-law. He married my daughter, but he’s having an affair.”
Then, she walked in front of Wei Xin and grabbed her hair, forcing her to look up so that the media could capture Wei Xin’s face.
“She’s the third party who ruined my daughter’s marriage. Her name is Wei Xin.”
Li Zecheng looked at those phones in panic. If they were media units, he would just pay them to settle these matters.
But now that the passing crowd was filming them, he could imagine that it wouldn’t be long before news of his parents-in-law tearing apart their scumbag son-in-law would spread.
When everyone knew about his embarrassing incident, his life would be over.
“Stop filming.” He stood up from the wheelchair in a panic and pounced on the crowd filming.
Mrs. Lu dragged him with all her might and scolded, “Li Zecheng, if you have the guts to cheat, are you afraid of being found out?”
Li Zecheng pushed her to the ground in exasperation.
“Ouch.” Mother Qiao was in poor health to begin with, so she fell to the ground and couldn’t get up.
Li Zecheng was slightly dazed.
At this moment, Qiao An and Li Xiaoran, who had received the news, ran downstairs. Seeing Mother Qiao lying on the ground, Qiao An was dumbfounded.
When Li Zecheng saw Qiao An, he roared angrily, “Qiao An, look at what stupid things your parents have done!”
“Beast.” Qiao An seemed to have gone crazy. She raised her fist and swung it at Li Zecheng.
“Li Zecheng, if you dare to bully my mother, I’ll fight it out with you.” Qiao An used her long nails to tear at Li Zecheng’s exposed neck, arms, and face.
Li Zecheng looked at Qiao An in disbelief. “Qiao An, you dare to hit me?”
Qiao An said, “Li Zecheng, you fooled around with other women in front of your parents-in-law. You’re purely causing trouble for my mother. You’re worse than a pig or dog.”
Li Zecheng said angrily, “I want to divorce you.”
Qiao An said, “Go ahead.”
Seeing that Li Zecheng couldn’t bear to tear Qiao An apart, Wei Xin could only raise her fist and go into battle. Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoran suddenly grabbed her wrist and said fiercely, “Miss Wei, don’t cause trouble.”
Wei Xin could not break free from Li Xiaoran’s hand. She could only shout anxiously, “Qiao An, you scratched his face.Just stop. Let’s talk nicely.”
Li Xiaoran sneered. “Miss Wei, stop it. Li Zecheng is with you and bullied his wife. Do you want him to be too ashamed to go out in the future?”
These words made Wei Xin and Li Zecheng choke.
Mr. Qiao helped the trembling Mother Qiao up and said, “Honey, are you alright?”
Mother Qiao pointed at Li Zecheng and roared in exasperation, “Beast, you bullied my daughter. I curse you to a bad end.”
After shouting, Mother Qiao immediately fainted.
“Qiao An, your mother fainted.” Qiao An’s father’s heartbroken shout brought her back to her senses.
“Mom…” Qiao An cried out tragically.
Li Xiaoran quickly pushed the wheelchair over and pushed Mother Qiao upstairs. Qiao An and Father Qiao staggered after her.
Li Zecheng was stunned on the spot.
“It’s over, it’s over. I’m in trouble with Qiao An.”
Wei Xin couldn’t say anything.
She had always been very vague with Li Zecheng, but today, Li Zecheng’s mother had something on and called her over to take care of Li Zecheng. She didn’t expect to be bumped into by Qiao An’s parents at this time.
Mother Qiao was already in critical condition. After this commotion, she was so angry that she was hospitalized that night.
Qiao An and Father Qiao fell into chaos as the two of them guarded outside the emergency room.
At five in the morning, Mother Qiao passed away.
When Mr. Qiao heard this bad news, he cried his heart out. “Madam, how could you leave me and our daughter alone?”
Qiao An didn’t cry, but she seemed to be in a daze. She sat in her chair like a puppet.
Mr. Qiao cried for a long time and sensed his daughter’s abnormality. He hugged Qiao An and wailed, “Qiao An, say something. If you’re sad, cry. Daddy will be very worried about you.”
When Li Xiaoran heard the news of Mother Qiao’s sudden death, he rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night. After asking Father Qiao for his opinion, he sent Mother Qiao to the hospital morgue.
After settling Father Qiao down, it was Qiao An’s turn. Li Xiaoran held her hand and said gently, “Qiao An, let’s go.”
Like a soulless puppet, Qiao An obediently followed behind him to the temporary house Li Xiaoran had prepared for them.
She followed Li Xiaoran into the house stiffly. Li Xiaoran turned around and almost bumped into her. Seeing Qiao An’s expressionless face, Li Xiaoran was very worried about her.
He held Qiao An’s shoulder and coaxed gently, “Qiao An, don’t be sad. Life and death are up to fate. Auntie is most worried about you. So for Auntie’s sake, you have to pull yourself together.”
Qiao An remained dazed, her head drooping, her eyes unfocused.
Li Xiaoran sat her down on the sofa and poured her a cup of warm water. When he handed it to Qiao An, she had no intention of reaching out to take it.
Li Xiaoran could only hold the teacup and hold the back of her head with one hand to make her lean back before feeding her some hot water.
Only then did Qiao An’s eyes roll slightly.
“Where’s Li Zecheng?” Her voice sounded like it came from a deep well filled with white bones.
Li Xiaoran said, “He might know that he did something wrong. He keeps calling me to ask about your mother’s condition. It’s up to you to decide if you want to tell him about your mother’s death.”
Qiao An said angrily, her eyes red, “Of course I have to tell him.” She gritted her teeth.
Early the next morning.
Qiao An wore a black mourning dress and a big white chrysanthemum on her head as she helped her mother’s corpse to the entrance of the Li family’s villa. Then, she carried her mother’s corpse and sat at the door.
There was a wreath beside it. The couplet said that she wanted to take Li Zecheng’s life.
When the servants of the Li family opened the door and saw this terrifying scene, they immediately staggered and fled.
“Master.”
The servant’s tragic voice circled above the Li family’s villa, startling everyone in the villa.
Soon, the Li family’s elders gathered in the living room. Li Zecheng and the siblings were also inside.
“Uncle Cai, why are you shouting so early in the morning?” Old Master Li was woken up from his dream and didn’t look too good.
“Master, Young Madam is sitting at the door with a corpse and crying. The couplet on the wreath beside her says that she wants Young Master Zecheng’s life.”
Everyone’s faces were as pale as paper.
