Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

408 The First Wife’s Misfortune

When Huo Xiaoran heard that Qiao An and Li Zeyu had an argument, he immediately couldn’t sit still. He stood up and said with a dark expression, “I’ll go take a look.”

The old man instructed the butler, “I also want to see this Li Zeyu. Butler, help me out.”

When the old man came out in the wheelchair, pushed by the butler and accompanied by Huo Xiaoran, the debate in the lobby suddenly stopped.

The woman pulled her son to the old man and Huo Xiaoran as if she was presenting a treasure. She introduced proudly, “Zeyu, this is your grandfather. Hurry up and call him Grandpa.”

Li Zeyu bowed to the old man. “Grandpa.”

Old Master Li sized up his grandson. Seeing that he was imposing, he sighed and said, “It’s indeed better to see you in person than to hear about you. No wonder your father values you so much.”

This evaluation was indeed better than many compliments.

The woman was overjoyed. She pulled Li Zeyu to Huo Xiaoran and introduced, “Zeyu, this is your uncle.”

Li Zeyu seemed to have been electrocuted.

He raised his head in a daze and sized up Huo Xiaoran.

In his early thirties, Huo Xiaoran had the youthfulness of a lad, and also the maturity and charm of a successful man.

His face was handsome and flawless. He was tall and slender, making Li Zeyu feel inferior. At that moment, all his fantasies about Qiao An were silently killed by Huo Xiaoran.

“Uncle.”

Huo Xiaoran’s face was ashen, but he didn’t answer him. Instead, he strode up to Qiao An and hugged her very naturally. He asked gently, “I heard you started arguing with them?”

Qiao An smiled slyly. “I’m fine.”

His eyes were originally filled with worry. Seeing her evil smile, he knew that she was the one who had bullied the other party. Huo Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as Qiao An wasn’t bullied, he could turn a blind eye to whatever she did.

“That’s good,” he said gently.

Li Zeyu looked at Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An from afar. Seeing Huo Xiaoran’s doting gaze and how he looked at Qiao An, Li Zeyu cursed in his heart. Who wouldn’t love a smart beauty like her?

Qiao An walked up to the old man and officially greeted him today. “Dad.”

Old Master Li looked at Qiao An and smiled. “An’an, since you’re here, why didn’t you come to see me immediately? Do you have a problem with me?”

Qiao An smiled slyly. “Dad, you’ve misunderstood. I thought that you and Brother Xiaoran had a lot to talk about and I couldn’t disturb you, so I deliberately left private space for the two of you.”

The old man teased, “Your little mouth is covered in honey. Okay, I believe you.”

He changed the topic. “I heard you quarreled with your third sister-in-law just after you returned. That isn’t quite your style, Qiao An?”

Qiao An said honestly, “Yes. I argued with Third Sister-in-law.”

“Oh, what do you mean? Let me hear it. I’ll be the judge today.”

Qiao An pursed her lips and said, “In order to welcome her son, Third Sister-in-law wanted to let Li Ze’en go out and be independent.”

Li Zeyu lowered his head in shame.

The new Third Madam quickly defended herself. “Dad, that’s not what I meant. Qiao An misunderstood my intentions. I just thought that since we live together, we can take care of each other. As for Ze’en, she can just return to her own home… After all, if she returns to that house, her mother and brother will take care of her. Isn’t that the best of both worlds?”

Third Madam was deeply proud of the powerful reason she had found. This time, Old Master probably couldn’t find anything wrong with her.

What else did Qiao An have to say?

Unexpectedly, the old man glanced at Qiao An and asked for her opinion. “An’an, what do you think?”

Qiao An said, “Dad, this Li family villa is your property. Whether this grandson and granddaughter are qualified to stay here depends on you.”

She said this to secretly mock Third Madam for taking the initiative to move her son and daughter in.

Third Madam could only grit her teeth in anger.

Qiao An continued, “Also, Third Brother’s first wife has a son and a daughter. Their names are still on the Li family’s household register. As for his children with his new love, although their names aren’t on the household register, they’re still a bloodline that Third Brother approves.”

These words hit Li Zefeng and Li Zeyu hard.

This made the mistress furious but Qiao An looked at her arrogantly.

She continued, “Logically speaking, this matter is not up to a junior like me to decide. However, since Dad asked for my opinion, I’ll say it. A person should value his integrity and dignity. A big family like the Li family should value its reputation even more. If the Li family kicks out their original daughter-in-law’s family for a new lover’s offspring, the outside world will discuss the Li family’s heartlessness. Let me ask you, what prestige would such a family have?

The woman sneered and reminded everyone, “Hmph, Qiao An, don’t be an alarmist. After my Tingfeng chased his first wife out, his business is doing very well now. In my opinion, his first wife should have been chased out earlier.”

Qiao An said, “The original Third Sister-in-law jinxed her husband. At most, she jinxed his career. I’m just afraid that after you enter, you’ll jinx his life.”

“Qiao An, you…”

“Third Sister-in-law, ever since you entered the family, how much trouble has the Li family been in? You know very well. Perhaps these are all bad omens.”

Originally, everyone was still immersed in the philosophy of the Third Madam destroying wealth. This was because Third Madam had really not brought fortune to the third branch.

Unexpectedly, Qiao An turned the logic around and said that the new wife’s life was cursed. Madam was so shocked that she broke out in cold sweat. Thinking about how the third branch had been facing bloody disasters recently, she felt that Qiao An’s words made sense.

Madam naturally found herself pondering over what Qiao An said.

“Mom, don’t believe Qiao An. She’s talking nonsense,” the woman said in exasperation.

Qiao An pursed her lips and chuckled.

She did not have to argue. After all, in the past six months, other than her, Li Tingfeng’s head had been injured, Li Zecheng had been injured, and his first wife had been even more miserable. She had fallen off a building and become paralyzed.

As long as Madam believed in Buddhism, she would believe it.

At this moment, Li Zeyu defended his mother very impartially. “Mom, it’s all nonsense.”

As Third Madam heaved a sigh of relief, Li Zeyu sighed heavily again and said bitterly to Qiao An, “Fourth Aunt, you’re right. My appearance was a mistake.”

He turned to his mother. “I won’t live in this house. You don’t have to make things difficult for Ze’en on my behalf in the future.”
