Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

Chapter 585 - 585 Qiao An’s Revenge, Ze’en’s Fear

585 Qiao An’s Revenge, Ze’en’s Fear

Although Li Ze’en had guessed Qiao An’s motive, Li Ze’en still shivered when she heard it from her.

She was very worried about Li Zecheng. After all, the cases of the people investigated by the detective agency in recent years had told her that no one could walk out of it openly.

If Qiao An targeted Li Zecheng, Li Zecheng would be in trouble.

After Li Ze’en left the detective agency, she returned home.

!!

Her mother and stepfather were sunbathing on the lawn at home. Her mother was getting more and more peaceful. Speaking of which, she should be grateful to Qiao An. It was Qiao An who encouraged her mother to give up the hardships behind those ostentatious things.

Huang Yushu was very surprised to see her daughter home.

“Ze’en, didn’t you go to work? Why are you back so soon?”

Li Ze’en walked over and sat in front of her mother. She said dejectedly, “Mom, I was fired by the company.”

Huang Yushu was stunned and speechless for a long time.

“Why did Qiao An do this?” she asked with trembling lips.

Li Ze’en said, “Mom, the day Li Zecheng decided to betray the Angel Group, it was destined that we would break up with Qiao An.”

Huang Yushu closed her eyes in despair. “This day has finally come?”

Li Ze’en asked Huang Yushu in distress, “Mom, do you support Li Zecheng doing that?”

Huang Yushu said, “I don’t know. I’m conflicted. There’s a voice in my heart that tells me it’s wrong. But when I see your brother working day and night, I lose my mind.”

Li Ze’en sighed. “Yes. Qiao An asked me to choose between justice and kinship. Mom, I chose Brother. But I feel terrible. Really, I feel terrible.”

Huang Yushu hugged her daughter and comforted her with tears in her eyes. “Your brother and Qiao An are really ill-fated. We can’t control their matters, so let him be.”

Li Ze’en cried, “Mom, Qiao An is going to deal with Brother. I’m very worried that Li Zecheng won’t be able to avoid this calamity.”

Huang Yushu said, “Your brother is no longer the same as before. He’s already released all his past scandals on trending searches these past few days. Even if Qiao An wants to investigate him, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to dig out anything useful. Don’t worry.”

Li Ze’en said, “When I left the company today, Qiao An gave me a message that retribution will come. Mom, let’s persuade Brother to stop.”

Huang Yushu said, “Now is not the time for him to stop if he wants to. The decision now has already been made by Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An.”

Huang Yushu was extremely vexed and could not calm down. In the end, she decided to have a good talk with Li Zecheng.

That night, after Li Zecheng returned home from work, Huang Yushu sat in her wheelchair and Li Ze’en pushed her into Li Zecheng’s study.

“Why are you here?” Li Zecheng frowned when he saw his mother and sister’s solemn expressions.

“If you’re here to be Huo Xiaoran’s lobbyist and ask me to give up on being his enemy, I advise you to give up,” Li Zecheng said preemptively.

Li Ze’en said, “No, I’m here for Qiao An.”

Hearing Qiao An’s name, Li Zecheng became more patient and looked at Li Ze’en steadily.

“What did Qiao An tell you?”

“Sister Qiao An fired me,” Li Ze’en said desolately.

Li Zecheng was stunned.

In the past few years, Qiao An and Li Ze’en had been like sisters. Qiao An wouldn’t have fired Li Ze’en for no reason.

“What does she mean? She’s venting her anger on you? That’s not her style?”

Li Ze’en said, “Yes, she’s always been clear about right and wrong. This is her style. So I guess she’s going to attack you.”

Li Zecheng sneered. “With her lousy detective agency?”

Li Ze’en said, “Don’t underestimate Sister An’an. If you pay attention to the big cases solved by the detective agency, you’ll know that Qiao An has plenty of means and wisdom to deal with you. Brother, you shouldn’t be enemies with Uncle.”

Li Zecheng’s handsome face darkened. “Just because you’re afraid of them doesn’t mean I’m afraid of them. In the past, they were the ones standing on high ground and could naturally control us. But now that I’m the one standing on high ground, what can they do to me?”

Li Ze’en said, “Sister Qiao An’s expression and tone when she spoke to me today were very wrong. Brother, Sister Qiao An has never hated someone so much. Be careful. I’m your sister, and my concern for you ends here. I won’t interfere in your matters in the future.”

With that, Li Ze’en turned around and left.

Li Zecheng subconsciously clenched his fists.

When Li Ze’en said that Qiao An had never hated someone so much, his heart felt like it had been stabbed. He was so sad.

Huang Yushu looked at her silent son and said, “You don’t feel good, do you? To be hated so much by the woman you like?”

Li Zecheng gritted his teeth and said angrily, “What’s the use of me liking her? Her heart has never stayed for me for a moment.”

“You were the one who gave up on her back then,” Huang Yushu said.

Li Zecheng said, “What can I do if I don’t give up on her?”

Huang Yushu said, “Mom lived for nothing for decades. Why haven’t I seen through your feelings for Qiao An until now? You love her without knowing it. Even if you do things to hurt her and provoke her, it’s just a sign of love. You want to use this to attract her attention, but she doesn’t love you.”

“Stop it.” Li Zecheng threw the things on the desk to the ground.

“Zecheng, don’t do anything you’ll regret for the rest of your life.”

With that, Huang Yushu wheeled herself away.

Li Zecheng sat in his office chair dejectedly. He recalled the story of that rainy night.

That was a year ago. He had created a peak legend for the Angel Group. On the way home from the celebration party at the Angel Group, he confessed to Qiao An under the cover of drunkenness.

“An’an, I’ve done a lot for the Angel Group. How are you going to repay me?”

Qiao An knew what he was thinking, but she pretended to be confused. “I’ll give you a raise?”

“Qiao An, how about you marry me?” Li Zecheng grabbed her hand excitedly.

Qiao An was frightened. She looked at Li Zecheng in shock and disbelief.

Then, she said very calmly, “Li Zecheng, I’m your aunt. I’ll always be your aunt. I, Qiao An, have loved Xiaoran from the beginning. I’ll always love him until the day my life ends. I will never compromise my love.”

...

“Li Zecheng, it’s time for you to find a girlfriend.”

Qiao An hadn’t seen him since.

She let others run errands for the company.

Her absence created the chance and urge for him to become the CEO of the Angel Group.
