Chapter 76: Lu Mo’s Visit, Family Mobilization
She was even willing to bear his child. Qiao An didn’t know how to answer, so she hung up.
Like a ghost, she wandered around aimlessly for a long time. Only when the sky turned dark did she take a taxi back to the Li family villa.
Old Master Li sat on the sofa while Li Zecheng complained to him.
“Grandpa, it’s absolutely true. Uncle gave his research and development results to Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao personally said that because of Uncle’s patent results, it brought a qualitative leap to his company. Uncle is clearly helping an outsider. Don’t you think it’s infuriating?” Li Zecheng said.
When Qiao An entered, Li Zecheng pulled her back and asked her to testify for him. “Qiao An, you heard it too, right? Did Uncle give his invention to outsiders?”
Qiao An nodded lazily. Let their family fight amongst one another. None of them were good people.
For two weeks in a row, Qiao An refused to go out. Every day, she only stirred the flowers and plants in the courtyard. She didn’t seem to have the mood to deal with Li Zecheng and Wei Xin.
Seeing that she was listless, Old Master Li called a doctor for her. The doctor took her blood for examination and told Old Master Li, “Young Madam has a severe pregnancy reaction, so she feels tired and weak. She just needs to stay in bed and rest more.”
Li Zecheng finally had half a month of peace. He probably thought that Qiao An’s mental illness had passed and since Li Zecheng had returned home more frequently recently, so he took the initiative to talk to Qiao An more.
One day, he actually had a conscience and took the initiative to find Qiao An, who was resting in the garden, and gave her a bank card. He even said a few words. “You’re pregnant now, so you need more money. There’s 500,000 in the card. Take it. If you’re bored at home, I can take you out for a walk.”
Qiao An’s eyes were filled with confusion. This guy’s sudden flattery probably had an ulterior motive.
“Li Zecheng, tell me, did you do something wrong to me again?” Qiao An asked weakly.
Li Zecheng said aggrievedly, “Don’t think so badly of me. I’m the father of the child in your stomach after all. As long as you don’t make a fuss, I won’t wrong you.”
An ironic smile appeared on Qiao An’s pale face.
“Be good and don’t make a fuss. Be your doll?”
Li Zecheng was speechless.
Qiao An returned the card to Li Zecheng and provoked him. “Li Zecheng, when are you going to return Wei Xin’s money to us?”
Li Zecheng’s face darkened.
Qiao An liked to rub salt into his wound.
“Let’s wait a little longer,” Li Zecheng said.
Qiao An said faintly, “How long?”
Li Zecheng glared at Qiao An angrily…
“With the Li family, you don’t lack clothes or food. Why do you need money?”
“Li Zecheng, Wei Xin doesn’t intend to return this money, right?” Qiao An was in low spirits and spoke lazily without any strength.
“I didn’t ask her return it,” Li Zecheng said righteously. “She sold the house and had nowhere to go. Why did you have to go for the kill?”
Qiao An didn’t make a fuss. She just looked at the green grass in the garden quietly.
Although the grass was young, it stood proudly in the wind and rain. Qiao An seem to see herself in the tenacity and stubbornness of the grass.
Li Zecheng sized her up guiltily. Seeing that she had no temper at all, he was secretly happy. It seemed that he had really thought too highly of her previously. She had no power or influence in the capital. If she wanted to file a lawsuit, she had to have connections.
Instead, Qiao An picked up her phone and texted her lawyer best friend, Loco.
“Sue Wei Xin. I’ll forward all the evidence to your email later.”
Loco texted back: “You finally decided to confront them.”
After Qiao An sent the message, she looked at Li Zecheng disdainfully.
Li Zecheng’s gaze shifted to her phone. Realizing that there was something wrong with Qiao An’s gaze, Li Zecheng inexplicably panicked.
“Who are you texting?”
“Loco.”
Li Zecheng’s smug face instantly turned pale.
Qiao An was lively and popular. Her classmates from elementary school to university still maintained close and friendly ties. This led to her having many good friends and friends from all walks of life.
Li Zecheng remembered that Loco was a lawyer.
“Why did you text her?” Li Zecheng suddenly reached out to snatch Qiao An’s phone.
The phone was locked. He couldn’t open it.
He questioned her angrily, “Are you going to sue Wei Xin?”
Qiao An said, “I gave her a chance. She didn’t cherish it.”
“Are you serious?” Li Zecheng flew into a rage out of humiliation.
Qiao An reminded her, “Keep your voice down. Don’t wake Grandpa up.”
Li Zecheng was furious.
Just as the two of them were about to draw their swords, Li Xiaoran and Lu Mo suddenly returned. Lu Mo held Li Xiaoran’s arm affectionately while Li Xiaoran carried a few boxes of gifts.
The two of them chatted and laughed. They seemed to be very close.
Qiao An saw Li Xiaoran from the corner of his eye and almost immediately stood up. She turned around and left in a panic.
Her steps were a little messy, and no one knew that her heart was in turmoil.
If she could turn back time, she really wished that she had never met them or provoked any man in the Li family, be it Li Xiaoran or Li Zecheng.
Because all of them were her tribulations.
Li Xiaoran narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Qiao An leave in a panic. The emotions in his eyes were unknown.
Lu Mo teased Li Zecheng. “Zecheng, did you and Qiao An quarrel again? Qiao An doesn’t look too good.”
Li Zecheng said gloomily, “She doesn’t treat me well every day.”
Li Xiaoran said with a dark expression, “She’s pregnant. You have to be more understanding of her.”
Lu Mo pulled Li Xiaoran into the hall.
When the old man and old lady heard that Lu Mo was here, they personally went out to welcome her. Lu Mo was also a sweet talker. When she saw the old man and old lady, she affectionately called them “Dad” and “Mom\'”. She even gave the old man and old lady the gift box she had carefully prepared.
The old man and the old lady were overjoyed.
In their eyes, it was already good enough that Li Xiaoran could find a girlfriend. They did not expect her to be the daughter of the director of Jinghang Hospital.
The pharmaceutical group and the hospital had been closely related since a long time ago. If the Li family could be listed in the Jinghang Hospital, they would not have to worry about business in the future.
This was also the reason why Old Master and Old Madam thought highly of Lu Mo.
The old lady was afraid that Lu Mo would be bored, so she instructed the maid, “Go get Ze’en and Qiao An to accompany the guests.”
When the maid came to get Qiao An, she was standing by the window in a daze.
“Young Madam, Miss Lu Mo is here. Madam wants you to accompany her.”
