BXBX NOVEL Chapter 404 - 404 Fatherly Husband
Li Ze’en leaned forward and smiled slyly. “Then do you know that you’re also old and ugly compared to those other young ladies? My father has earned a lot of money now. He can have any young and beautiful woman he wants. Why would he put up with an old sow like you?”
Her stepmother gritted her teeth. “I’m different from your stupid mother.”
“How are you different?” Li Ze’en sneered.
!!
Her stepmother said proudly, “I’ll give your father enough space and freedom. Which man isn’t a playboy? I’m not as greedy as your mother. As long as he gives me money, I’ll turn a blind eye. He can do whatever he wants.”
Li Ze’en smiled. “You’re even more stupid than my mother. My mother doesn’t have anyone to guide her, so she took such a stupid path. You’re repeating my mother’s tragedy.”
“Woman, my mother was once like you. She gave my father enough freedom so that he could hook up with you. Despite my mother’s magnanimity, what happened? My father loved young and beautiful mistresses, so he teamed up with one to expel my mother from this family.”
“Hehe, in time, when my father hooks up with a younger mistress. You won’t end up any better than my mother. Because you’ll be an old woman then.”
When her stepmother heard Li Ze’en’s words, she immediately felt a chill run down her spine.
Li Ze’en smiled crazily. “If I were you, I would control him now. I won’t give him a chance to nurture his relationship with those mistresses.”
Her stepmother looked at Li Ze’en suspiciously, suspecting that her motive was not pure.
“Li Ze’en, you have ulterior motives. Why should I believe you?”
Li Ze’en said, “Because I don’t want my father to find me a few more aunts. It’s embarrassing.”
Her stepmother looked grim when she called her aunt.
With that, Li Ze’en grabbed her bag from the sofa and left.
Her stepmother watched her go, feeling the chill. What Ze’en had said had unsettled her.
Although she didn’t like Li Ze’en, she couldn’t dispute what she said. She could inch out the first wife with her youth and beauty, so how could she know that there weren’t any young and powerful women on their way to replace her?
It seemed that she could not repeat that silly woman’s path.
Ze’en walked to the door and suddenly turned back. She said to her stepmother, “If I were you, I would definitely monitor his every move and strangle those children in the cradle.”
After Li Ze’en left, the woman returned to the house. As expected, she asked her daughter, Li Zefeng, to buy a recording pen for her. That day, she placed the recording pen in Li Tingfeng’s bag.
Li Ze’en got into a taxi and asked the driver to speed up to the East City International Hotel.
In the car, she changed her clothes and put on exaggerated punk makeup.
She estimated Li Tingfeng’s driving speed and decided to rush to the East City International Hotel in advance to wait.
The driver sent Li Ze’en to the hotel. Li Ze’en had just walked out of the car when she was suddenly pulled behind a huge stone statue.
Li Ze’en looked closely. This woman had a wig and wavy hair. She was chewing gum and wearing green leggings. She was wearing a big white T-shirt and looked very strange.
“Stop looking. It’s Qiao An.”
Li Ze’en swallowed. Then, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
“Why are you here?” Li Ze’en asked Qiao An. “You could have just gotten someone to do this. Why do you need to do it yourself?”
Qiao An said, “Then why are you here? Don’t you trust me?”
Li Ze’en said resentfully, “No, I just want to send him to hell myself.”
Qiao An said, “You really hate him. Actually, you don’t have to start with your father. With the methods I taught you, you can turn your father and stepmother’s good days upside down. I guarantee they’ll hate your name in the future.”
Li Ze’en looked at Qiao An with admiration in her eyes. “Qiao An, I only know now that when you divorced my brother back then, you were really too merciful to him. With your wit, you could have been even more ruthless to him.”
Qiao An muttered, “If I didn’t feel a little guilty about him, do you think your brother and Wei Xin would be able to get along?”
Li Ze’en said, “That’s true. You cheated on my brother after all.”
Qiao An said angrily, “Why would I cheat on him if he didn’t cheat on me?”
Li Ze’en said, “In any case, your grudge against my brother is already in the past. My brother, no, our entire Li family won’t dare to bully you in the future. My uncle dotes on you so much. Anyone who bullies you will be courting death.”
Qiao An rolled her eyes at her and said proudly, “Who needs your uncle’s protection? Women should be strong. I’ll take revenge for myself.”
“Hmph.” A sinister and cold voice suddenly came from behind.
Qiao An and Ze’en turned around and saw Huo Xiaoran’s tall figure standing in front of them.
Huo Xiaoran glared at Qiao An. “Should women be self-reliant?”
“Hubby, why are you here?”
“Should a woman be self-reliant?” Huo Xiaoran asked again.
Qiao An swallowed and suddenly sucked up to him. “When my husband isn’t around, I should be independent. When my husband is around, I should be content.”
Only then did Huo Xiaoran’s expression relax.
But he reprimanded Qiao An sternly. “Who asked you to come?”
“I’m worried about you,” Qiao An said pitifully.
Huo Xiaoran took out a bank card and handed it to Qiao An. He patted her head and said dotingly, “Go shopping with Ze’en. I’ll be here.”
Qiao An immediately beamed. “Thank you, Hubby.”
Then she pulled Ze’en up and ran.
The two of them ran to a nearby mall. Ze’en was a little angry. Her gaze landed on the bank card in Qiao An’s hand. She was envious and disappointed. “I didn’t expect Uncle to dote on you so much. No woman in our Li family can get get hold of the male owner’s bank card.”
Qiao An caught the loneliness in Ze’en’s eyes. She knew that Ze’en had been abandoned by a wealthy family, and she felt like she was suffering in silence. All Qiao An could do was not rub salt in her wounds.
She held the bank card and said playfully, “This is my first time being an aunt. No one has taught me how to be an elder. If I don’t do well later, please forgive me.”
Ze’en was stunned. Before she could recover, Qiao An had pulled her to various branded clothing stores and added all sorts of clothes to her wardrobe.
