Chapter 72: The Gathering of the Nobles

Qiao An kindly reminded Wei Xin, “Wei Xin, since you’re Li Zecheng’s girlfriend, how can you watch him marry someone else? If you have any backbone, you should avoid men with wild desires.”

“But not only do you not hate Li Zecheng, you even got involved with him after he was married. I don’t know if I should praise you for your magnanimity or ask Miss Wei, did you reach some shady agreement with him?”

“Even a greenhorn like me can see through Miss Wei Xin’s character, let alone an old man who has seen countless people. Why do you need me to gossip in front of him?”

The old man admired Qiao An’s pure heart. He didn’t hide his admiration for Qiao An and said, “Li Zecheng, did you see that? This is the kind of intelligence that the young madam of the Li family should have. If you had known that your wife was a treasure, you would have enjoyed endless wealth in this life. However, you treat sand as pearls. You should live an ordinary life.”

With that, the old man left angrily. Li Zecheng sat on the ground.

Wei Xin was so ashamed that she could not raise her head.

Qiao An looked at the two bereaved dogs with a deep smile.

The two of them came happily. They originally thought that as long as they held on to their love, such love would move the heavens and the earth and move the old man.

Unexpectedly, it was all for nothing.

Qiao An fiddled with her fingernails and said with a hint of gloating, “Miss Wei, as you can see, our Li family doesn’t welcome you. Stop being an eyesore here and get lost.”

She held the posture of Mrs. Li with an arrogant and condescending tone.

Wei Xin was so angry that she clenched her fists.

“Qiao An, don’t be smug. Brother Zecheng will definitely divorce you.” Wei Xin gritted her teeth.

Qiao An said, “Didn’t you hear what Grandpa said? Even if I divorce him, you won’t be the Li family’s daughter-in-law. You can only be his mistress for the rest of your life.”

Li Zecheng scolded Qiao An, “Shut up, Qiao An. I’ll definitely divorce you.”

Qiao An made a mischievous face at him, and a mocking sneer appeared on her beautiful face. “Hubby, if you divorce me, Grandpa will kick you out of the Li family. I want to know if Miss Wei is still willing to be your lackey when you have nothing.”

Li Zecheng and Wei Xin were furious.

After being angered by Qiao An’s humiliation, Li Zecheng finally lost his rationality and made a foolish decision. “Qiao An, from now on, I’ll treat you as dead. I’ll never return to that home again.”

With that, he pulled Wei Xin away.

Qiao An barked, “Stop.”

Li Zecheng was very smug. His decisiveness finally shocked Qiao An. He turned around proudly and looked at Qiao An.

Qiao An walked up to him and straightened his tie affectionately.

“Hubby, since you’ve completely given up your dignity to be with this mistress, I’ll give you my blessings. I’ll give you my blessings for a long time. You must keep your word and never return to our home.”

Li Zecheng frowned again. The wrinkles on his forehead were so deep that they could kill a fly.

He could almost see the joy of release on Qiao An’s face.

For some reason, he was very frustrated.

Li Zecheng questioned angrily, “Qiao An, why do I feel that you can’t wait for me to be with Wei Xin? The way you acted in front of Grandpa just now was fake, right?”

Qiao An said, “Honey, you say your reflex arc is so long. No wonder you’re being led around by women.”

After saying that, she shook her head in disdain.

“Go pursue your true love.”

Li Zecheng clenched his fists in anger.

“Wei Xin, let’s go.”

At night, Li Zecheng’s high school classmate, Chen Xiao, returned to the country. Chen Xiao asked his assistant to invite Li Zecheng and his wife to the class gathering.

Among Li Zecheng’s classmates, the one who did the best was Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao was a rich second-generation heir like them, but what was different was that Chen Xiao’s results were especially outstanding in high school. He went overseas to earn money. Then, he started a business overseas and established the Angel Group’s pharmaceutical engineering research department. His wealth was already incomparable to other rich second-generation heirs.

Li Zecheng had always wanted to curry favor with Chen Xiao. If he could work with the Angel Group on a project, it would be very dignified for the Li family’s Medicine King Group. The elders of the Li family would especially value him and could make up for his recent shortcomings in marriage.

Therefore, Li Zecheng agreed without hesitation.

However, this time, the other party brought his family. Li Zecheng despised Qiao An for being unpresentable, so he asked Wei Xin to pretend to be his wife and attend the gathering.

However, he never dreamed that Chen Xiao would personally send Qiao An a message to invite her to a gathering.

When Qiao An received this message, she was very resistant to going out with Li Zecheng.

Moreover, Li Zecheng had never mentioned this gathering to her. Presumably, Li Zecheng would not attend this gathering.

Qiao An dismissed the idea of attending the party.

Unexpectedly, at night, Li Ze’en dressed up very exquisitely and grandly. Then, she deliberately showed off to Qiao An. “Do you know that my brother is attending a very high-class and respectable party tonight? The people inside are all young elites on the Forbes Rich List. My brother is also invited, but he won’t bring you to this party. Do you know why? Because you’re not worthy.”

Qiao An, who was more open-minded than she was, instantly understood why Li Zecheng didn’t mention the gathering to her. He had probably found another woman to attend this banquet in her place.

Qiao An glanced at Li Ze’en. Li Ze’en was dressed so formally, so the men at the party tonight must be upper-class elites. Among the elites, one group was looking for a career breakthrough, and the other was looking for a rich husband.

Qiao An’s face twisted into an evil grin. “I wasn’t in the mood for this party. Since Sister Ze’en praised it so brilliantly, I’ll join in the fun.”

With that, Qiao An got up from the sofa and walked out.

Li Ze’en looked at her casual clothes and her lips twitched. This woman was simply unpresentable. No wonder her brother wanted to have an affair.

“Hey.” Li Ze’en chased after her and teased, “Qiao An, do you know where the gathering is? Ridiculous. Who would invite you to such a celebrity gathering? You really don’t have any self-awareness.”

Qiao An ignored her and stood at the door, dialing.

Li Ze’en despised her poor appearance. She drove away with a whistle.

Qiao An heard her disdainful voice. “Village girl, no one is taking you to the party. Go back and wash up.”

Village girl?

Qiao An looked at her simple private clothes. She was aware that these shabby clothes couldn’t hide her natural beauty.

She wanted to attend Li Zecheng’s party as a poor housewife and let his friends know that he was an ingrate who was unfaithful to his wife. This way, no one would collaborate with him.
