Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

374 Qiao An Sees Through

Qiao An said, “Just ask him if I’m lying.”

She glanced at Li Tingfeng and smiled. “If there’s no price to pay for a divorce, wouldn’t Third Brother have given you a status long ago?”

“The reason why this dragged on is probably that Third Brother weighed the interests. Being with the first wife is Third Brother’s best choice. Third Brother might not be able to afford the price of divorcing the first wife.”

Li Tingfeng lowered his head and did not speak.

The woman looked at his dejected expression as if she finally understood that she should not have been unreasonable.

She could not accept Li Tingfeng’s cowardice. She instigated, “Divorce, Tingfeng. I want you to divorce her. I can ask for fewer assets.”

Qiao An felt that she was hopeless. “It’s not about wanting less, but you don’t even have the right to.”

The woman was speechless.

With that, Qiao An held Huo Xiaoran’s hand and said, “Brother Xiaoran, let’s go.”

Huo Xiaoran glanced at Li Tingfeng and left with a dark expression.

After getting into the car, Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An curiously and asked, “An’an, Third Sister-in-law treated you like that in the past. Why are you still helping her?”

Qiao An said helplessly, “I’m just comparing the characters of these two women. Although your third brother likes to find women in the trash, trash can be divided into good and bad. In comparison, your current third sister-in-law is better than this woman.”

“Oh, better in what way?” In Huo Xiaoran’s opinion, these two women were both top-notch trouble makers with no morals.

Qiao An said, “Although your third sister-in-law isn’t smart enough and has bad morals, she’s good at dealing with enemies. She won’t drag others down with her.”

“But this woman tried to pull unrelated people to be her accomplices when she was in the wrong. If she marries into the Li family, there won’t be discord just within the third branch but everyone will not be at peace.”

Qiao An hit the nail on the head, making Huo Xiaoran suddenly understand. He also hated that mistress very much for wanting to drag An’an down with her to deal with Third Sister-in-law.

If she was a brainless woman, she might really deal with her former enemy with her. However, Qiao An was unwilling to be someone else’s tool. She stood her ground.

“In that case, is it time for me to help Third Sister-in-law?” Huo Xiaoran smiled.

Qiao An said, “You’re a man with ambitions. I’ll take care of this family nonsense.”

Huo Xiaoran rubbed Qiao An’s head. “But they’re dragging on for too long. I’m worried that you’ll be tired.”

Qiao An shrugged. “The third branch is already estranged, and the relationship between parents and children has broken down. On the other side, the daughter has abandoned her studies and the son has fled the current chaos. I figure they don’t have the energy to continue pestering each other. Soon, the drama in the third branch will come to light.”

Huo Xiaoran nodded.

When they returned to the Heavenly Imperial Garden, they saw Huo Zhou standing in front of his house, seemingly troubled.

Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An walked forward. “Zhou Zhou, why are you here? What’s the matter?”

Huo Zhou glanced at Qiao An obscurely and said, “Yes.”

Huo Xiaoran invited him into the house. Huo Zhou did not hide it and went straight to the point. “Qiao An, I know that you and Brother Xiao Ming are not ordinary friends. The Xiao family is in a mess now. I hope you can tell me everything you know about Xiao Ming.”

Huo Zhou said, “Qianqian brought her parents to force a marriage.”

The teapot that Qiao An had just lifted fell onto the table with a bang. This huge reaction shocked Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou.

Qiao An and Xiao Ming’s relationship was indeed extraordinary.

Huo Zhou asked excitedly, “Qiao An, you raised Xiao Ming’s daughter. What exactly is your relationship with Xiao Ming?”

Qiao An’s expression changed instantly. She was agitated. “Who told you I raised Xiao Ming’s daughter? No. The child is mine.”

Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran looked at each other. Huo Zhou didn’t hide it and directly exposed Qiao An’s lie. “Qiao An, Xiaoran has already done a paternity test for Joey and Xiao Ming. They’re father and daughter. It’s just that Xiaoran can tell that you don’t want to give Joey away, so we’ve kept it a secret until now.”

“Qiao An, you raised Xiao Ming’s daughter, but you said that you weren’t familiar with him. I didn’t want to force you. But now, Xiao Ming is missing and Qianqian’s parents came to force a marriage. You probably don’t know what a good girl Qianqian is. The elders of our Huo family like her very much. If we lose a daughter-in-law like Qianqian, it will be a loss to the Xiao family.”

Of course, Qiao An knew how perfect Qianqian was.

But Qianqian was clearly dead and she had personally buried her. Why did Qianqian suddenly appear?

Who exactly was this Qianqian?

Qiao An felt uneasy.

“What era are we in? Who would still force a marriage?” Qiao An knew that the real Qianqian was extremely strong-willed. No one could force a marriage on her.

She was also so unconditionally obedient to the lone wolf.

Huo Zhou said, “Qianqian’s face was disfigured, so her parents brought her here to force her to marry. Qianqian’s original words were that if Brother Xiao Ming didn’t despise her, she would marry him. If Brother Xiao Ming despised her, she would break off the engagement. But how could the Xiao family do something like adding insult to injury? Of course, they want Qianqian to continue being the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family.”

Qiao An’s mind was a mess.

She felt that some information was about to appear, but it fell silent.

She wondered why this disfigured Qianqian was here.

Using her disfigurement to hide her identity, she took the opportunity to force Xiao Ming to appear. This person was not kind.

Qiao An’s heart sank. She asked Huo Zhou nervously, “Did you mention what you said to me today to a second person?”

Huo Zhou said excitedly, “Not yet. But I’m not prepared to hide Joey’s identity. Qiao An, I don’t want Qianqian to be deceived by Xiao Ming.”

Qiao An could feel Huo Zhou’s love for Qianqian.

She even suspected, “Don’t tell me you like Qianqian?”

Huo Zhou’s face instantly turned unnatural.

Huo Xiaoran looked at Huo Zhou in surprise. “Qiao An was right? You like Xiao Ming’s fiancée?”

Huo Zhou nodded with difficulty.

“Qianqian is a great girl,” he said.

Qiao An was very uneasy. Everything Huo Zhou had shown today could be said to have made him dizzy with lust. She was afraid that Huo Zhou would ruin her plans.

“Huo Zhou, you said that this Qianqian is disfigured? Then do you know how she was disfigured? Is she completely different from before?” Qiao An asked.

A hint of pain appeared on Huo Zhou’s face. “Qianqian was disfigured during a mission. The area of her disfigurement is indeed quite large. There’s almost no intact area. She’s a heroine.”

But Qiao An smiled.

She was sure that this Qianqian was fake.

Qiao An pretended to be casual. “Cousin, is it possible that this Qianqian is fake? Recognizing one’s family after being disfigured can arouse one’s greatest sympathy.”
