Chapter 60: Pay or Get Sued

Qiao An was so frightened that her face turned gray. She shouted at him with a sobbing tone, “Shut up.”

Then, she called Lu Mo. “Doctor Lu, Doctor Li is sick. He’s very seriously ill. If it’s convenient, can you contact a good doctor for him now? He has a fever and is weak all over. He’s even talking nonsense.”

On the other end, Lu Mo listened to Qiao An’s anxious voice and felt uneasy. Why did she have the illusion that Qiao An and Li Xiaoran cared about each other more than ordinary people?

“Dr. Lu, are you listening? We’re in the Jinghang Outpatient Department…”

Lu Mo came back to her senses. “I’ll be right there.”

Soon, Lu Mo rushed over with a few nurses.

From afar, Lu Mo saw Li Xiaoran resting his head on Qiao An’s shoulder listlessly. Qiao An hugged him tightly, afraid that he would sink.

Lu Mo ran over and pulled Li Xiaoran out of Qiao An’s arms. “Senior, I’ll bring you for a checkup.”

Li Xiaoran glanced at Qiao An dejectedly before falling to the ground.

The nurse carried him to the ambulance and pushed him away anxiously.

Qiao An was worried and couldn’t help but move forward.

However, Lu Mo suddenly turned around and said to her very politely, “Qiao An, there’s nothing for you to do here. Go back and rest well. I heard that you’re pregnant with Li Zecheng’s child. You can’t be too tired.”

Her simple words dissuaded Qiao An.

Qiao An instantly woke up. She shouldn’t have been too involved with Li Xiaoran. Their current status as uncle and niece-in-law kept them apart.

Qiao An turned to leave.

Lu Mo suddenly called out to her, “Qiao An…”

Qiao An turned around and looked at Lu Mo in confusion. “Dr. Lu, is there anything else?”

Lu Mo said, “I want to know why you sent my senior to the hospital?”

Qiao An lowered her eyes. Lu Mo’s vigilance towards her made her so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.

“Dr. Li called me. He asked me to send him to the hospital.”

Lu Mo nodded. “I see.”

Qiao An turned to leave. Lu Mo looked at her and sighed. It seemed Li Xiaoran wouldn’t give up until his last breathe.

Qiao An lowered her head and returned to to her pregnancy therapy with a heavy heart.

Li Zecheng came over early in the morning and looked at her with a dark expression.

“Where did you go?” he asked coldly.

Qiao An was slightly stunned, and a trace of guilt flashed across her eyes. However, it was fleeting, and she was extremely calm.

What was she feeling guilty about?

Li Zecheng should be the one feeling guilty. If he had not pretended to be Thunderbolt Bladel and split her and Li Xiaoran, how would she have ended up in this state?

Qiao An swaggered up to him and looked into his eyes. “Uncle is sick. I just sent him to the hospital.”

Li Zecheng was furious. “Qiao An, what does his illness have to do with you? Who are you to him? Why are you so concerned about him? Don’t tell me the two of are having an affair behind my back?”

Qiao An wasn’t angry and sat beside him calmly.

“It’s not like you don’t know that Uncle saved my life. After I fell off the building that day, you guys ignored me. If it weren’t for him taking good care of me as a doctor, I would have lost my life long ago. Now, I’ll help him if he has any difficulties, llet alone being sick. I, Qiao An, am a person who knows how to repay kindness.”

Li Zecheng knew that he was guilty and could only digest his anger.

Qiao An slapped Li Zecheng and suddenly held his hand affectionately. She said slowly, “Hubby, we’ve been in a relationship for five years and have a wedding date for two years. Are you still worried that I’m unfaithful to you? Don’t worry, I’m a nostalgic person. On account of you accompanying me through puberty, I’ll manage our family well.”

Li Zecheng swallowed.

It was April, but he felt cold all over.

If Qiao An knew that he wasn’t Thunderbolt Blade at all, he really didn’t know how she would destroy him.

Qiao An glanced at the guilty Li Zecheng and sneered.

She changed the topic. “By the way, has Wei Xin returned the money to you?”

Li Zecheng was like a rat whose tail had been stepped on. He immediately said angrily, “How can she return so much money so quickly? Qiao An, don’t push me too far.”

Qiao An fiddled with her fingers and said calmly, “I didn’t expect her to pay me back in one day. But it’s been a few days, and she hasn’t paid me a single cent. She’s clearly trying to renege on her debt.”

Li Zecheng said, “Give her a few months…”

Before he could finish, Qiao An slapped the coffee table and stared at Li Zecheng with a sharp gaze. She was clearly angry at his behavior.

Li Zecheng’s face darkened. “Why? Can’t I call the shots in this family?”

Qiao An smiled. “Since you and I can’t work together, we’ll go our separate ways.”

A frivolous expression appeared in Li Zecheng’s eyes.

Qiao An took out her phone and called Loco. “Lawyer Luo, I want to sue the third party, Wei Xin, for not paying her debts. Please come over immediately.”

Only then did Li Zecheng feel the urgency of the situation. He looked at Qiao An gloomily and gritted his teeth. “Qiao An, you want to force me to death, right?”

Qiao An said, “Honey, don’t you think that’s ridiculous?”

“Getting Wei Xin to return the money will improve your current life. You should be grateful and leave.”

Li Zecheng said angrily, “If you sue Wei Xin, my relationship with her will be in an uproar. Are you deliberately taking revenge on me?”

Qiao An picked up a glass of water and poured it directly on Li Zecheng’s face. Qiao An, who was originally polite to others, was as irritable as a tiger. She roared, “Li Zecheng, wake up! I gave you two choices. Either pay up or see you in court. But you, as my husband, not only don’t stand on my side, but you also protect Fox Wei at every turn. You don’t want her to pay up, but you don’t want me to sue her. Are you ignoring my grievances? Since you’re so heartless to me, why should I let you off?”

The cold water probably woke Li Zecheng up.

He blew away the wet hair covering his eyes angrily and stared at Qiao An with a different expression.

“Give her a few more days. Just a few more days. I’ll urge her to sell the house. I’ll give you the first payment.”

“Three days,” Qiao An said.

Li Zecheng looked at Qiao An’s determined face and didn’t dare to continue talking.

“Okay.”

Li Zecheng and Qiao An parted on bad terms.

After leaving the hospital, Li Zecheng arrived at Wei Xin’s residence with a dejected expression.

He questioned Wei Xin angrily, “Didn’t I ask you to sell your house? Why aren’t you taking action?”

Wei Xin said, “Brother Zecheng, must you sell it?”
