Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

Chapter 69 - An Eye for an Eye

Chapter 69: An Eye for an Eye

The old man laughed heartily. “Hahaha, have you been too bored recently, so your chess addiction has kicked in? Alright, alright, I’ll get the butler to pick you up.”

Having achieved her goal, Qiao An happily hung up.

She went straight back to Star Palace.

When Li Zecheng and the Third Madam saw her, they no longer dared to look at her like before. They looked at her with reverence.

“You… are back?” Li Zecheng was very surprised.

He thought that after his argument with Qiao An, she wouldn’t return to this house.

Qiao An paused and glanced at Third Madam and Li Zecheng before walking into the bedroom.

Her arrogance and rudeness made Third Madam very angry.

In the past, Qiao An would not dare to look down on her like this. She was submissive and subservient, not daring to breathe loudly in front of her.

Third Madam was so angry that she clutched her chest. In the end, she finally swallowed her anger at her daughter-in-law’s disrespect.

Li Zecheng’s face darkened, and he was even angrier at Qiao An’s coldness.

Third Madam nudged Li Zecheng and nodded at him. “As long as she’s still willing to go home, it means that she hasn’t given up on you. Think of a way to coax her. Women are soft-hearted. Everything will be fine if you coax her more.”

Li Zecheng reluctantly walked into the room.

When he arrived at the bedroom, he found Qiao An packing her clothes.

Only then did Li Zecheng realize that things were not good. If Qiao An was determined to break up with him, she would definitely fall out with him. At that time, his cover would be exposed by her.

“An’an, where are you going?” Li Zecheng went forward and asked in a panic.

Qiao An put the clothes into her suitcase and dragged her luggage out.

Li Zecheng stepped forward and pulled the suitcase. He roared, “Are you deaf or mute? I’m asking you a question. Where are you going?”

Qiao An looked at the temperamental Li Zecheng, her eyes filled with disgust. “Li Zecheng, other than losing your temper at me, you have not left much of an impression on me.” She punched her chest.

Li Zecheng looked ashamed, but he had never placed responsibility on himself. He only blamed others. He complained with a dark face, “If you weren’t so arrogant, why would I shout at you?”

Qiao An suddenly pulled open her collar, revealing the bloody scab. Her eyes were fierce as she reprimanded Li Zecheng. “Li Zecheng, if you want me to respect you, please respect me first.”

Li Zecheng was speechless.

Third Madam walked over with a cold expression and reprimanded Qiao An like an elder. “Qiao An, this is your fault. Zecheng hit you. He went after you to the police station yesterday to apologize. What else do you want?”

Qiao An raised her hand and slapped Third Madam.

At the sound of the slap, Li Zecheng and Third Madam were stunned.

They really didn’t expect Qiao An to dare hit someone.

Third Madam covered her face. Qiao An was weak, so she didn’t hurt her much. However, Third Madam had always been arrogant. Now that she had been beaten up by the daughter-in-law she despised, she couldn’t take it anymore. She immediately said angrily, “Qiao An, how dare you hit me?”

Qiao An said, “I’m sorry.”

Li Zecheng roared, “Is there any use in saying sorry?”

Qiao An smiled at him.

Li Zecheng instantly understood that she was giving him a taste of his own medicine.

He was immediately embarrassed and angry.

“Qiao An, you…” He raised his palm.

Qiao An expected the old butler to arrive. She raised his face and provoked, “Fight, come on, fight here. Li Zecheng, if you don’t fight, you’re a coward.”

Li Zecheng was furious and slapped her.

A red palm print instantly appeared on Qiao An’s face. However, Qiao An smiled instead of being angry, looking like a petty person who had succeeded.

Li Zecheng and Third Madam looked at each other, feeling that Qiao An’s smile was very scary. Why was she so happy?

When the old butler walked in, Li Zecheng and Third Madam instantly understood.

So this was Qiao An’s ruse.

The old butler was stunned when he saw the palm print on Qiao An’s face. Then, he looked at Li Zecheng and shook his head in disappointment.

The butler was the old man’s young comrade and had once saved the old man’s life. The old man trusted him very much. They were master and servant, but they were also friends who had gone through thick and thin together.

Li Zecheng did not leave good impression with the butler, so he naturally would not have a good reputation with the Old Master. Li Zecheng lowered his head in frustration.

Third Madam looked at the old butler in shock. “Uncle Zhang, why are you here?”

The butler glanced at Qiao An and said coldly, “Master asked me to bring Young Madam back to the Li family villa to stay for a while.”

Li Zecheng and Third Madam were petrified.

The butler said respectfully to Qiao An, “Young Madam, let’s go.”

When Qiao An passed by Li Zecheng, she whispered, “Wait for my gift.”

Li Zecheng trembled. He instantly understood Qiao An’s sinister intentions in going to the Li family’s villa.

Now that Qiao An hated him to the core, wouldn’t she be able to complain to the Old Master if she played chess with the latter every day,?

Qiao An said, “Hubby, I will definitely make you the most famous trash in the Li family.”

With that, Qiao An dragged his luggage away.

Li Zecheng’s body trembled.

Third Madam could tell from her son’s dejected face that something was wrong. She tried to stop Qiao An from going to the Li family villa. She shouted at Qiao An, “Qiao An, Zecheng hasn’t been well recently. As his wife, how can you leave him when he needs you the most?”

Qiao An didn’t even turn around. “Mom, hurry back. If Grandpa finds out that you secretly came to Star Palace, he’ll definitely fly into a rage.”

Third Madam’s face instantly turned gray. If Qiao An complained about her, she would probably be punished by Old Master again. Third Madam did not have time to comfort her son and left quickly.

When Qiao An returned to the Li family villa, Old Master had been waiting for her for a long time. When he saw Qiao An, his gaze was immediately attracted by the palm print on her face.

“Who hit you?”

Qiao An lowered her head. It was the old butler who spoke up for her. “Master, it was Young Master.”

Old Master Li was so angry that he slammed the teacup in his hand on the coffee table with a loud bang. Coincidentally, Third Madam entered at this moment. When she heard Old Master Li lose his temper, she immediately held her breath.

The old man said angrily, “This bastard hit his pregnant wife. He’s an animal.”

Third Madam was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground. The old man’s hatred for Li Zecheng seemed to have been engraved in his heart.

Qiao An noticed that Third Madam was behind her. She hesitated for a moment. She could have chosen to let Old Master’s anger burn the third branch, but she was kind-hearted and always remembered that Old Master was a patient. She stepped forward and comforted Old Master. “Grandpa, don’t be angry. You have to take care of your health. In the future, you can hug your little great-grandson.”

When the old man heard about his great-grandson, he immediately beamed.
