Wei Xin said angrily, “I don’t care why you’re here. I’m warning you, this is my home. Please get out immediately, or I’ll call the police immediately.”

Qiao An scoffed, contempt in her voice. “Call the police? Then do it.”

Wei Xin picked up her phone and was about to call 110 when she suddenly remembered that she was not the owner of this house.

She gritted her teeth and hung up again.

She walked up to Qiao An angrily and said angrily, “Qiao An, why are you looking for me? If you have something to say, spit it out and get lost.”

Qiao An said, “Rent collection.”

Wei Xin was stunned. “Did I hear you right? This is my house, and you’re here to collect rent? You’re making a fool of yourself.”

Qiao An said, “Is it your house?”

Panic flashed across Wei Xin’s eyes.

Qiao An said, “The name of the owner of this house is my husband, Li Zecheng. Wei Xin, as you can see, this house is large, and the interior is luxurious. The rent is not cheap. I can’t let you live here for nothing.”

Wei Xin said angrily, “Brother Zecheng let me stay here for free.”

“What are you to him for my husband to let you stay here for free?” Qian An demanded.

Wei Xin’s lips moved a few times, but she did not dare to say her relationship with Li Zecheng.

Qiao An pressed on. “Wei Xin, since you refuse to pay the rent, I’m sorry. I won’t hold back.”

“Men,” Qiao An barked as a couple of bodyguards poured in.

Qiao An ordered, “Throw everything this woman has out of here.”

“How dare you…” Wei Xin said angrily.

Qiao An said, “I’m the lady of the house. I have the right to dispose of my property. I have the right to discard anything in this house.”

Loco ran into the bedroom and threw all of Wei Xin’s clothes out. She looked around without any hesitation.

Wei Xin’s heart ached. She wanted to stop her, but the bodyguards stopped her.

At this moment, Wei Xin’s phone rang on the coffee table.

Wei Xin glanced at the name written on the phone screen: Brother Zecheng. She glared at Qiao An smugly. “Just you wait. Brother Zecheng will definitely not let you off.”

Qiao An chuckled. “Really? Then let’s see if he dares to cover for you today.”

When Wei Xin picked up the phone, she cried and complained, “Brother Zecheng, come to the Riverside Mansion quickly.”

“What’s wrong?” Li Zecheng’s concerned tone made Qiao An frown unhappily.

Wei Xin said, “Brother Zecheng, Qiao An is in my house. She threw out all my clothes and even wanted to kick me out.”

Li Zecheng’s grip on the phone tightened as panic rose in his heart.

But he quickly regained his composure.

A girl as innocent and easy to coax as Qiao An was nothing to be afraid of.

Li Zecheng roared, “Qiao An, stop it.”

Wei Xin looked at Qiao An like a victorious rooster. Then, she handed the phone to Qiao An.

Qiao An gave the bodyguard a direct look. “Smash it.”

On the other end, Li Zecheng had a bad feeling when he heard Qiao An’s seemingly gentle and harmless order.

“Don’t you dare, Qiao An…”

But then the cell phone signal was cut off.

Li Zecheng picked up his clothes from the office chair and hurried out the door. He arrived at the basement and drove the Bentley to the riverside mansion.

Meanwhile, Qiao An and Wei Xin’s argument reached its climax. Wei Xin spoke rudely to Qiao An. “Qiao An, look at yourself. You’re like a shrew. No wonder Brother Zecheng doesn’t like you. Let me tell you, Brother Zecheng doesn’t love you anymore. He despises you for being like a salted fish in bed. He also despises you for not knowing how to live and being boring. If Brother Zecheng didn’t need a marriage with no problems to maintain his perfect image in front of the media, he would have abandoned you long ago.”

Qiao An trembled at Wei Xin’s insults.

Li Zecheng had actually exposed their private affair. This man was simply shameless to the extreme.

Qiao An’s blood surged. She immediately picked up the fitness stick beside her and smashed the expensive appliances like a madman.

“Wei Xin, whether Li Zecheng loves me or despises me, I want you to understand that I’m his legal wife. And you’ll always be a mole living in the dark. If I’m happy, I can send you away with some money. If I’m unhappy, don’t even think about getting anything from Li Zecheng. After all, you’re just a dog he raised.”

Wei Xin didn’t expect Qiao An to be so eloquent. Her face turned pale with anger.

Li Zecheng rushed to the Riverside Mansion. He was probably too anxious and did not realize that the flash downstairs was aimed at him.

He only cared about running forward and finally arrived at Wei Xin’s house. He heaved a sigh of relief.

Pushing open the door, he saw the mess on the floor. At this moment, a few bodyguards were rebelling in the bedroom, and there was only Qiao An, Wei Xin, and Loco in the living room.

Li Zecheng glared at Qiao An angrily and roared, “Qiao An, what are you doing?”

Qiao An gave him a level look. “Rent collection. The tenant cheated and didn’t pay. I had to kick her out.”

Wei Xin, who was originally a fighter jet with a high fighting spirit, immediately became a boneless mollusk when she saw Li Zecheng. She placed her hand on Li Zecheng’s shoulder and cried.

“Brother Zecheng, Qiao An is such a bully.”

Li Zecheng pushed Wei Xin away and walked up to Qiao An angrily. He questioned Qiao An like a ferocious lion, “Why are you taking rent? This house belongs to Wei Xin…”

Glancing at Qiao An’s cold gaze, Li Zecheng realized that she had probably checked the name of the house long ago. He changed his words and said, “I rented the house to Wei Xin. Don’t mess around.”

“Since it’s a rental, what about the lease?”

Li Zecheng was stunned. After a long while, he squeezed out a few words. “A verbal agreement.”

“What about the rent?”

“She gives it to me regularly.”

Qiao An stood up lazily. “Okay, give me the bank card. I’ll check the accounts at the bank. If she did pay the rent, I’ll compensate her for the loss.”

Li Zecheng and Wei Xin’s expressions changed instantly. If she really wanted to check the accounts, the bank card would only show that Li Zecheng had transferred large sums of money to Wei Xin.

At that time, Li Zecheng’s relationship with Wei Xin would be exposed.

Compelled by Qiao An, Li Zecheng was furious. “Qiao An, look at yourself. You’re acting like a shrew. Go back now.”

Qiao An raised her head and stared coldly at Li Zecheng. “Shrew? Li Zecheng, do you know why I became a shrew? It was all because of you.”

She approached Li Zecheng and accused him of his original sin. “You bought a house and raised a woman behind my back. After the matter was exposed, you didn’t repent and instead slandered me as a shrew? What about you? You’re a two-timing scumbag…”

Li Zecheng raised his hand and slapped Qiao An hard across the face.
