Chapter 56: The Mother-in-law Strikes, The Wife Strikes Back
The hotel staff whispered when they saw Qiao An.
“Look, she’s Young Master Li’s first wife. Look at the cotton dress she’s wearing. Oh my god, she’s so slovenly. No wonder Young Master Li is fooling around outside.”
“You can’t say that. In my opinion, it’s because of her thriftiness that she can obtain the chairman’s approval. Now, she’s a major shareholder of the Li Corporation. Even Young Master Li doesn’t have as much shares as her. Young Master Li still has to act according to her wishes.”
Qiao An couldn’t help but want to give the second girl a big thumbs up. This girl was much more sensible than Li Zecheng.
Qiao An returned and came to the service counter. “Take me to room 520,” she ordered arrogantly.
She wanted more people to see her tear Wei Xin apart. This way, Li Zecheng’s reputation would be ruined again.
The two girls respectfully led Qiao An to Room 520.
“Open it,” Qiao An said.
The staff opened the room.
Wei Xin’s sweet voice came from the house. “Brother Zecheng, you’re here.”
Then, a naked body ran in front of her.
The two hotel staff were stunned.
Qiao An seemed to have been prepared for this. She picked up her phone and took a photo of Wei Xin. Only then did Wei Xin run back to the bedroom in a panic and walk out after putting on her clothes.
Qiao An was already sitting on the sofa, minding her own business. She crossed his legs but remained silent.
Wei Xin said angrily, “Qiao An, why are you here?”
Qiao An rolled her eyes at her. “Because I asked you out.”
Wei Xin’s face turned pale.
Qiao An actually used Li Zecheng’s phone to ask her out? Then, wouldn’t she have seen her courting death by seducing Li Zecheng last night?
Wei Xin said in disbelief, “Impossible. How could Brother Zecheng give you his phone?”
Qiao An looked at Wei Xin’s surprised expression and explained with a smile, “Wei Xin, we’re husband and wife. You should know that a couple doesn’t differentiate what belongs to whom.”
Wei Xin muttered in a low voice, “But he doesn’t love you.”
Qiao An said, “Do you think that Li Zecheng will always love you and be loyal to you?”
Wei Xin lowered her head and didn’t say anything. Clearly, she agreed with Qiao An.
Qiao An sneered. “Hehe. Wei Xin, you really think too highly of yourself. In terms of appearance, you’re just a face improved with plastic surgery. In terms of talent, you’re just an actress who graduated from a third-rate university. Other than your little bit of skills in bed that can make men feel a little fresh towards you, what makes you think that my husband will always love you?”
“Let me tell you, in the face of benefits, he chose to give up on you without hesitation. Because I can give him 5% of the Li Corporation’s shares and possess this money, he can have any beauty he wants, but he has to find a lousy woman like you.”
Wei Xin was angered and said in a panic, “Nonsense. Brother Zecheng and I are each other’s first love. This relationship can’t be replaced by anyone.”
Qiao An took out a stack of bills from her bag and slapped it on the table. “Wei Xin, no matter how good your relationship is with him, you’re just a mistress. As for me, I’m Li Zecheng’s first wife. Now, I have the right to ask you to immediately repay all the money my husband has spent on you for the past two years.”
Wei Xin’s face turned pale when she saw the thick stack of records.
Qiao An crossed his legs and said leisurely, “The twelve-million-dollar villa under your name, the large flat where your mother lives, and the jewelry that Li Zecheng has bought for you over the past two years. There are six diamond necklaces worth tens of millions, twelve designer bags worth hundreds of thousands, and six sets of skincare products worth hundreds of thousands, including the red packets transferred to you during the holidays. According to the law, you have to return them.”
When Wei Xin heard the huge compensation amount, she was so frightened that her entire body went limp. Other than two properties that could be returned to Qiao An, the rest of the money had been used by her to live a luxurious life. How could she afford it?
She calmed herself down and said, “Brother Zecheng gave me this money. Even if I have to return it, I should return it to him.”
Qiao An looked at her disdainfully. “Do you think that if my husband comes forward, you won’t have to return the money?”
Wei Xin acquiesced.
Qiao An, however, looked completely unafraid. “Alright, I’ll call my husband over.”
Qiao An called Li Zecheng and said, “Hubby, come to Room 520 of the Li Corporation Hotel.”
Li Zecheng was dumbfounded.
Room 520 of the Li Corporation Hotel was where he and Wei Xin met privately. How did Qiao An discover it?
Li Zecheng did not dare to stay. He picked up his blazer and rushed to the Li Corporation Hotel.
Not long after, Li Zecheng appeared in room 520.
The moment he entered the house, Li Zecheng’s legs went limp when he saw the records on the coffee table.
“Qiao An, why do you have these?”
Qiao An glanced at him indifferently. “If you are afraid of getting exposed, don’t do it.”
Li Zecheng was a little angry. “Qiao An, why must you hold on to our past? What’s wrong with me giving her a gift? Must you fight with me?”
Qiao An’s eyes were red and tears were about to flow. She complained angrily, “Hubby, take a good look. Wei Xin is wearing branded clothes, luxurious jewelry, and a limited edition bag. Look at me. My dress costs just 74 dollars and I don’t have any decent jewelry on me. She took away the glamorous life that originally belonged to me. Shouldn’t I ask for what belongs to me?”
Li Zecheng’s shame flashed across his face.
“Qiao An, if you really want to live a good life with me, don’t fuss about my past.”
With Li Zecheng backing her, Wei Xin was extremely smug.
Qiao An stood up and looked at Li Zecheng with contempt. “What if I have to take these back?”
Li Zecheng was furious. “I think you don’t want to live a good life with me…”
Qiao An said leisurely, “Li Zecheng, before you threaten me, you should use your brain first. If I divorce you, your assets will be shared between us.”
“A divorce can make me rich, and you will become a poor man surrounded by negative news. You can forget about making a comeback for the rest of your life.”
Li Zecheng didn’t dare to speak again.
Wei Xin could not bear to see the man she loved being bullied by Qiao An, a Cinderella who had gained power overnight. She stood up for Li Zecheng. “Qiao An, look at you now. You’re like a shrew. No wonder Brother Zecheng doesn’t like you.”
Qiao An looked at Li Zecheng viciously. “You don’t like me?” she asked faintly.
Li Zecheng glanced at Wei Xin fiercely. “Wei Xin, don’t talk nonsense. Since Qiao An and I are back together, I will treat her well.”
Wei Xin’s eyes were filled with unwillingness. Her cherry lips pouted.
Qiao An made the final call. “Li Zecheng, if you still want to live a good life with me, ask her to cough up the amount of these bills. Otherwise, these bills will soon appear on my social platform.”
