Chapter 131: A Good Show
Seeing the old lady’s strange expression, Old Master glanced over.
Seeing Li Xiaoran’s gift, the old man came to a realization. Li Zecheng had mentioned to him some time ago that Li Xiaoran’s neuroprotein research was very respected by other pharmaceutical companies. It seemed that Li Xiaoran’s research and development results were still very valuable.
In order to prevent outsiders from profiting, the old man decided to have a good talk with Li Xiaoran and rope him in so that he could return to serve the Li Kang Group.
Li Xiaoran had arrived late. After he congratulated the old lady, the old man guessed that there were no important guests behind, so he simply announced the end of the birthday celebration.
At this moment, a beautiful figure walked into the clubhouse with an imposing aura. Behind her was a short-haired professional elite woman.
Whispers erupted from the crowd. “Why is she here? Did we invite her?” The person who said this was Third Madam, who disliked Qiao An.
She knew that it would be unreasonable not to invite Qiao An over on such an occasion, so this nagging was especially low.
However, Qiao An happened to pass by her, and Third Madam was indeed talking to Qiao An specially to make things difficult for her. When Qiao An heard this, she suddenly turned around and stood in front of Third Madam. With a polite and generous smile, she asked, “Mom, it’s Grandma’s birthday. Why didn’t you invite me, your granddaughter-in-law, to such an important occasion?”
Third Madam didn’t expect her to embarrass her on the spot. She said confidently, “Didn’t you take the trouble to divorce our Zecheng? In that case, you won’t be the granddaughter-in-law of the Li family soon. Is there a problem with not inviting you to this banquet?” She was openly announcing that Qiao An had nothing to do with the Li family. She thought that this could defeat Qiao An’s drive and embarrass her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQiao An took it calmly. “Mom, don’t you know that your son doesn’t want to divorce me? I begged the court to sanction the divorce, but your son refused to appear in court.”
In an instant, she had reversed her humble role in the marriage into the party who wears the pants. How could Li Zecheng, who was an elite in the business world, endure this?
Third Madam stomped her feet in anger. “Qiao An, why don’t you take a mirror and look at your face? Will my Zecheng be reluctant to get a divorce because of you? Don’t flatter yourself. My Zecheng wants the child in your stomach.”
Qiao An casually turned around and asked Li Zecheng, “Is that so?”
......
At this moment, almost all the guests surrounded them. Seeing that the situation was not right, Old Master Li hurriedly scolded Third Madam and Qiao An. “Enough. What kind of occasion is this? It’s not for you and your daughter-in-law to be spiteful. You can leave.”
Old Master Li’s words clearly didn’t intimidate Qiao An at all.
She had come prepared. Today, she made up her mind to settle things with the Li family completely.
How could she give up halfway?
She walked up to Li Zecheng with an incredulous, weak, and helpless expression. She said with tears in her eyes, “Li Zecheng, is the reason why you don’t want a divorce really as your mother said?”
Li Zecheng’s lips twitched. He knew best how strong Qiao An was. However, the current Qiao An was like the weak girl on the ruins.
What kind of show was she putting on?
Li Zecheng’s lips moved. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Wei Xin hiding in the crowd opposite him. In a fit of anger, he blurted out, “Qiao An, stop being disgusting. I’m not the only one who wants a divorce. You clearly want a divorce yourself. That’s right, it’s indeed because of the child that I can’t bear to divorce you at this time. Don’t worry, after the child’s breastfeeding period is over, even if you don’t mention the divorce, I will.”
Qiao An smiled bitterly. “In the end, you’re unwilling to divorce me because of the child in my stomach. Li Zecheng, your body is dirty, and your heart is even dirtier. I, Qiao An, am unwilling to live with you for even a moment.”
When Qiao An said this, her eyes suddenly shot out a terrifying aura. Her clear black and white eyes suddenly turned bloodshot and red. She glared at him like a vengeful spirit.
Then, Qiao An suddenly took out a small pill bottle from her pocket and poured all the pills into her mouth.
Loco quickly pulled her back and roared crazily, “Qiao An, you’re crazy!” At this moment, Loco blocked Qiao An’s front, and Qiao An shook out all the pills that she had hidden in his sleeve.
Just as everyone was confused about what Qiao An was up to, Li Xiaoran suddenly strode forward and picked up the medicine bottle that Qiao An had thrown. “Misoprostol?”
“What medicine is that?” The old man stood up anxiously.
Li Xiaoran was a doctor, so he naturally knew what medicine this was.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe trembled. “Abortion pills?”
At this moment, Li Xiaoran’s mind was blank. Only he knew that the child was his.
Qiao An swallowed the pill hard and smiled sharply. “Li Zecheng, soon, this child will flow out of my body. Without the child, let’s see if you want a divorce.”
Li Zecheng lost the child and his heart ached. His eyes turned red and he flew into a rage. “I swear I will divorce you.”
The medicine entered Qiao An’s body, and Qiao An’s abdomen quickly began to spasm. It was so painful that she curled up and squatted down. Loco roared exaggeratedly, “Qiao An, you’re crazy. That’s abortion medicine. You’ll die if you take so much in one go.”
Before long, blood flowed out of Qiao An’s thigh.
Li Xiaoran saw Qiao An, who had already curled up into a ball and was lifeless. His sense of duty as a doctor woke him up.
He ran over weakly and practically knelt beside Qiao An. “If you eat too much misoprostol, it will cause major bleeding. Hurry up and send her to the hospital to cleanse her stomach and stop the bleeding.”
Qiao An pushed Li Xiaoran away crazily and complained in pain, “Get lost. Not a single part of your Li family is clean. I hate your Li family and everyone in your Li family. Shameless, sad, hypocritical, scheming, disgusting… I hope I won’t meet you again in this life. You’re my calamity.”
Li Xiaoran was ashamed by Qiao An’s painful accusation.
It turned out that her heart was filled with hatred for him. In her eyes, he was a despicable and disgusting hooligan.
Li Xiaoran felt that he had been nailed to the pillar of shame and could no longer move.
At this moment, Loco quickly carried Qiao An and ran out. She shouted anxiously, “Qiao An, you have to hold on. I’ll send you to the hospital immediately. Don’t die.”
