Qiao An said angrily, “I hit you to remind you not to try anything funny on me. In the past, I didn’t care about your methods because Li Zecheng was trash and I didn’t want him. Therefore, I can only turn a blind eye to you.”
“But now, I won’t allow you to sow discord between Xiaoran and me. If you play tricks again, I promise I’ll make you regret it like Lu Mo.” Qiao An said the last sentence especially softly.
Wei Xin saw her evil smile and the sneer in her eyes and felt her entire body turn cold. At that moment, she felt that Qiao An was terrifying. She was not as weak as she looked.
“The things that happened to Lu Mo, was it you?” Wei Xin asked in panic.
Qiao An leaned closer to her. “Yes. I took the initiative to give the evidence to Brother Xiaoran. I used him to get rid of Lu Mo.”
Wei Xin trembled. “You’re too scary. No wonder, no wonder Lu Mo and I lost to you.”
Qiao An said proudly, “Don’t forget, I’m a top student in the Chinese department. I’ve read more conspiracy theories than the meals you eat. I’ve always adhered to the principle that if people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. If people offend me, I’ll kill them no matter what.”
With that, Qiao An left with a smile.
Wei Xin looked at her walking away briskly as if she had seen a demon. Her face turned pale from fear and she left in disappointment.
She turned around and ran a few steps before suddenly running into a man’s arms. Wei Xin looked up and saw Li Zecheng staring at Qiao An in a daze. Wei Xin said angrily, “Did you hear what she just said? Hubby, this is the woman you’re thinking about. She’s so scheming and vicious. You know now, right?!”
Li Zecheng’s gaze returned to Wei Xin’s face. Seeing her frightened expression, he suddenly smiled.
“When you harmed her back then, you were even more vicious than her. Wei Xin, don’t think I don’t know that you set up that kidnapping.”
Wei Xin widened her eyes in fear. So Li Zecheng already knew that she was the mastermind behind the kidnapping, but he had never exposed her?
Therefore, he had really been tolerant of her in the past. But why did they end up hating each other?
“Honey, I just loved you too much back then.”
Li Zecheng interrupted her impatiently. “Wei Xin, you should know that Qiao An and I were on the verge of falling out because of that kidnapping. Although I don’t intend to pursue your past, you have to recognize your strength now. Qiao An is someone you can’t afford to provoke. Don’t blame her.”
Wei Xin was furious. “I know. So you felt sorry for her when you saw me provoking her. Are you protecting her? Li Zecheng, you’re my husband. How can you help her? Hasn’t she harmed you enough?”
Li Zecheng said angrily with red eyes, “I’ve thought about it a lot in the past few years. I only have myself to blame for breaking up with her. I don’t blame her anymore.”
With that, Li Zecheng left decisively.
Wei Xin chased after him and pestered Li Zecheng. “Do you still like her? Hehe, even if you like her, you have no chance. She and your uncle love each other.”
Li Zecheng’s face darkened.
Wei Xin suddenly thought of an evil plan. “Hubby, if you really like her, I’ll be more magnanimous and return you to her, okay?”
Li Zecheng grabbed her neck fiercely and retorted, “Don’t think I don’t know your dirty idea. You look down on me now and treat me like trash. Do you want to pour such trash unto Qiao An?”
Wei Xin said fiercely, “Didn’t she give you to me back then? I’ll return you to her.”
Li Zecheng’s pride had been trampled on by Wei Xin. He slapped Wei Xin’s face angrily, grabbed her collar, and punched and kicked her.
“Wei Xin, before I was with you, I was a noble young master that everyone in the capital looked up to. It was because of you that my reputation was ruined and I ended up in this state today. I don’t blame you or hate you, but you despised me first.”
Wei Xin’s face was bruised and swollen as she begged for mercy. “Ah, Hubby. Stop hitting me. I won’t scold you anymore.”
Third Madam heard her son and daughter-in-law’s commotion and quickly ran out.
“Stop fighting.” She pounded her chest. “What a sin. What have I done to deserve this!”
Qiao An and the rest of the Li family came when they heard the commotion. They tried to stop the fight. Only Qiao An stood quietly and watched the farce.
When Third Madam’s gaze accidentally caught Qiao An, her old face flushed.
Back then, Li Zecheng had tricked Qiao An into marrying him. Qiao An was smart and stayed at home to wash clothes and cook, but she was not satisfied. She looked down on Qiao An’s background, so she was picky about her.
Now that she had chosen Wei Xin as her daughter-in-law, not only did they end up with a sick child, but they also had to deal with Wei Xin’s bad temper. She quarreled with Li Zecheng every day, causing chaos in this family.
Third Madam had long regretted her choice. She just didn’t say it out loud because of her pride.
Li Tingting stood beside Qiao An and whispered to her, “Fourth Sister-in-law, ever since you and Li Zecheng divorced, the third branch has been in chaos every day. This is really retribution.”
Although Li Tingting’s voice was soft, it still reached Third Madam’s ears.
Third Madam glared at Li Tingting fiercely. “Tingting, since when is it your turn to talk about our family’s matters?”
Li Tingting was not to be outdone. “Hmph, if you guys argue behind closed doors, don’t let us see or hear you. If you do that, I’ll have nothing to say. But you guys live in the same building as us. If you argue like this every day and affect our lives, won’t you let people talk?”
Third Madam was speechless.
She became unreasonable. “Hehe, our third branch is not valued by Master Li. We’ve actually fallen to the point where any Tom, Dick, or Harry can provoke us.”
Li Tingting still wanted to argue with her, but at this moment, Madam scolded, “Stop fooling around.”
Li Tingting shut her mouth resentfully.
Qiao An looked at the disheveled Wei Xin and shifted her gaze to Li Zecheng. Li Zecheng’s eyes flickered and he was actually embarrassed to look at her.
He had once been arrogant in front of Qiao An, but now he was humiliated by Wei Xin. He was too ashamed to face Qiao An.
Qiao An thought for a moment. This was someone else’s family matter after all. She had no reason to interfere. She decided to shut up.
However, Madam didn’t let her off. She walked to Qiao An’s side and begged her, “An’an, the reason for their argument is most likely because of you. Since you are here today, can you say a few words to resolve their problems?”
