Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

395 Joey’s Disappearance

Li Zecheng felt indescribably uncomfortable. Wei Xin wanted to leave with the children, and other than his paralyzed mother, he was really alone.

At this moment, he recalled Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran’s teachings. He could only redeem his things when he stood at the top again.

He smiled bitterly at Wei Xin and said, “I know that I’m no longer qualified to ask you to stay. Wei Xin, if I still had a little money to let you and the child live a good life, I would have shamelessly begged you to stay today. I admit that I’ve lost myself for a long time. But today, Qiao An reminded me that you were once the woman I abandoned my reputation to marry. I should be fighting to retain you. Wei Xin, we shouldn’t have come to this point.”

Tears welled up in his eyes as he said bitterly, “We clearly resisted the entire Li family to get together, but we didn’t cherish our relationship. I was wrong.”

!!

“Leave. You can have the children. But…” He walked up to Wei Xin and took her hand. “I’ll work hard in the future. Can you give me a little time? If I can still give you and the children a good life, come back to me, okay?”

As Wei Xin listened to his sincere confession, she suddenly cried. She punched his chest hard and poured out the grievances she had accumulated over the past few years. “It’s not okay. I never want to return to you. Your family will always be filled with malice and contempt for me. And as my husband, you’ve never stood on my side to protect me.”

“I’m sorry, Wei Xin.”

He hugged her sympathetically.

Feeling her trembling body, he did not know how he felt about Wei Xin at that moment. His heart ached for her and her suffering.

After Wei Xin finished crying, she endured the pain in her heart and pulled the mentally handicapped child out with her luggage. Her daughter followed behind her and cried hoarsely, “Mommy, don’t go. I don’t want to be separated from Daddy.”

Wei Xin stopped and turned around. When she saw her daughter looking at her pitifully, her heart softened.

She walked back and hugged her daughter. “Daddy said he’ll pick us up when he finds a good job and can give us a good life.”

Her daughter asked Li Zecheng timidly, “Daddy, will you really pick us up?”

“Yes.” Li Zecheng nodded.

Only then did her daughter leave reluctantly with Wei Xin.

Li Zecheng looked at the empty house and sat on the ground.

In the bedroom, Third Madam cried.

Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An returned to Heavenly Imperial Garden. On the way, Qiao An asked Huo Xiaoran curiously, “Brother Xiaoran, haven’t you always hated the Li family? Why are you suddenly willing to help Li Zecheng?”

Huo Xiaoran rubbed her head and said apologetically, “Will you be unhappy if I help Li Zecheng?”

Qiao An shook her head.

“I don’t love him anymore. And therefore I don’t hate him anymore. He’s just a stranger to me now.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “I promised Old Master to help him revive the Li family.”

Qiao An was very surprised. “Is he making things difficult?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “During this period of time, I’ve been thinking about Mother’s feelings for the Li family. I think it’s a mixture of gratitude and guilt.”

Qiao An held Huo Xiaoran’s hand. “Brother Xiaoran, I support your decision.”

Huo Xiaoran nodded.

Suddenly, the bodyguard, Xiao Zhang, who was in charge of sending the children to and from school, ran over in a hurry and reported in a panic, “CEO, bad news.”

“What’s going on?” Huo Xiaoran’s heart sank.

“Joey… Joey’s missing.”

Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran almost staggered to the ground because of this bad news. Huo Xiaoran grabbed Xiao Zhang’s collar excitedly and said angrily, “Didn’t I tell you to stay close?”

Xiao Zhang said aggrievedly, “CEO, she disappeared during class. The school teacher said that Xiao Yue’s grandmother personally came to pick her up. The school teacher thought that Grandma Xiao and the Huo family were relatives, so she didn’t think too much about it and let the old lady pick the child up.”

Huo Xiaoran let go of Xiao Zhang and comforted the anxious Qiao An. “An’an, don’t worry. I’ll go to the Xiao family to pick up the child.”

Qiao An said, “I’ll go with you.”

The two of them quickly arrived at the Xiao family. Perhaps it was due to Xiao Ming’s funeral, but many relatives and friends were still staying with the Xiao family to comfort the elderly.

When Grandma Xiao saw Qiao An, her expression was a little unnatural.

Qiao An confronted her. “Where’s Joey?”

Old Master Xiao and Father Xiao sat on the sofa, seemingly dissatisfied with Qiao An’s loud voice. “Qiao An, sit down first. We can talk slowly.”

Qiao An was impatient. “I’m not in the mood for a slow chat after losing my child.”

Grandma Xiao finally told the truth. “She’s not just your child. He’s also a child of our Xiao family.”

Qiao An looked at Grandma Xiao in surprise. “Who told you?”

Huo Xiaoran punched Huo Zhou. “Huo Zhou, you bastard.”

Huo Zhou lay on the ground with blood flowing from his nostrils, but he said gloomily, “Xiaoran, how long are you going to hide it? Look at this family. They just experienced the pain of seeing their children die. Joey is their only comfort.”

“Xiaoran, stop,” Old Master Xiao scolded.

“Huo Zhou is right. Joey is the flesh and blood of my Xiao family. What right do you have to hide her identity?”

“Who said she’s the Xiao family’s bloodline? She was raised by Qiao An. She’s Qiao An’s daughter. What makes you think she’s the Xiao family’s daughter?”

Grandma Xiao said coldly, “There will be a result soon. I’ve already asked Qianqian to bring Joey for a paternity test.”

When Qiao An heard that Joey had been taken away by Lu Qianqian, she staggered. Exasperated, she lost control and roared, “If anything happens to my Joey, I’ll make you stubborn fools pay the price.”

Motherly love and integrity prompted Qiao An to resist the authority here.

Everyone was stunned by Qiao An’s aura.

It was more or less wrong for a prestigious family to do such a thing.

Grandma Xiao said earnestly, “Qiao An, you still have Ki Ki and Angel. Why can’t you return Joey to us?”

Qiao An hollered, “She is not a commodity. She’s a person. People have feelings. What right do you have to take my daughter away without my permission? What right do you have?”

No one in the room said anything.

Huo Zhou got up shakily and apologized to Qiao An. “Qiao An, it’s my fault. Don’t blame them…”

Qiao An kicked him in the crotch. “Huo Zhou,” she said fiercely. “If anything happens to Joey, I’ll make sure you die without descendants.”
