Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce-Chapter 51 - Seeking Peace for Money
Chapter 51: Seeking Peace for Money
Tears quietly moistened Qiao An’s eyelashes.
However, Qiao An was a very traditional and old-fashioned person. She felt that since she and Li Zecheng were not divorced, she could not accept the love of other men.
In that case, what was the difference between her and the scumbag Li Zecheng?
That way, she would also cause Li Xiaoran to be criticized by everyone.
She would only be qualified to accept him when she was free of this ill-fated relationship, she thought.
Qiao An was silent for too long…
Without waiting for Qiao An’s response, Li Xiaoran stood up in a sorry state and held the blanket for Qiao An. He said gently, “Rest well. Don’t be troubled. I respect any decision you make.”
Li Xiaoran turned off the lights in the living room and returned to the bedroom to sleep.
The next day, Qiao An left Li Xiaoran a note and entrusted him to send her father away.
Li Xiaoran looked at the empty house and sighed heavily.
“Qiao An, why are you so obsessed with him? Why did you give up our oath so easily?”
When Qiao An returned to the Li family, the first thing she did was not to return to her and Li Zecheng’s new residence, Star Palace. Instead, she went to see Old Master Li.
Old Master Li had been on the hot searches recently because of the Li family’s scandal. His heart disease had relapsed, and he was obviously anxious.
Seeing Qiao An, the old man’s dry eyes flickered. “Qiao An, you’re here?”
He struggled to sit up. Qiao An quickly went forward and placed the pillow behind him so that the old man could sit more comfortably.
This subtle move made the old man sigh with emotion. None of the descendants of the Li family were as considerate as Qiao An. They came to see him just for show. They probably thought that hiring the best nurse for him was the greatest filial piety.
“I’m pregnant, Grandpa,” Qiao An announced without a murmur.
Qiao An rubbed her stomach; her ruthless eyes were gentle.
The Old Master was the best at reading people. Seeing that Qiao An seemed to have a lot of feelings for the child, he took the opportunity to persuade Qiao An to keep the child.
“Qiao An, although Zecheng did something wrong to you, the child is innocent. I hope you can keep the child.”
“Grandpa, I can keep the child. But I have conditions.”
“Go ahead. As long as the conditions are not excessive, I can satisfy you,” the old man said.
Qiao An said, “I want Li Zecheng to return to the family and be a qualified father.”
“That’s it?” The old man felt that Qiao An’s conditions were too insignificant.
“Just this.”
Qiao An’s strategy of retreating for the sake of advancing was to sow discord between Li Zecheng and Wei Xin. She also wanted to turn her home into hell. If Li Zecheng returned home, it would be tantamount to breaking his wings and imprisoning him in hell.
The old man shakily took out a leather pocket under his pillow and pulled out a contract. He handed it to Qiao An.
“Qiao An, I’ll transfer 5% of the shares of the Li Corporation’s King of Medicine Group to you. At that time, you will receive a large sum of dividends every year, which will allow you and your child to live a carefree life. Of course, you can also transfer it directly and do what you like with a large sum of money.” ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢
Qiao An read the contract quickly, then picked up the pen and signed it without hesitation.
She said, “I messed up the new company you gave Uncle, so I’ll compensate him with these 5% shares. It’s also to repay him for helping our Qiao family.”
The old man was extremely shocked. Qiao An valued relationships and was indifferent to fame and fortune. Her noble character made him admire her.
Qiao An signed the equity transfer agreement. The old man gathered the children and grandchildren and said, “From now on, Qiao An is a shareholder of the Li Corporation. She holds 5% of the shares and has the right to decide the company’s matters with you.”
The masters of the various families were silent, obviously unable to accept the old master’s decision. After all, they were all direct descendants of the Li family. Qiao An was only the daughter-in-law of the Li family and the only person who entered the Li family’s board of directors with her son’s status. How could they be convinced?
Li Zecheng looked at the situation in front of him and was secretly happy.
The child in Qiao An’s stomach was his, and the shares were awarded to the child by her grandfather. Qiao An was only temporarily holding the 5% shares on behalf of the child. If she entered the board of directors in name, she would definitely be despised by many people. At that time, she would naturally be willing to transfer the shares to him, her husband, to manage.
Li Zecheng’s mother, Third Madam, was overjoyed.
She couldn’t wait to expose her ambition. She suggested to Qiao An tactfully, “An An, you’re pregnant and can’t work hard. Why don’t you get Zecheng to help you handle the company’s matters?”
Old Master had a tacit understanding. Third Madam was ambitious. He wanted to see if Qiao An had the courage to protect this asset.
Qiao An calmly said, “Mom, Zecheng cheated on me with Wei Xin and has just been fired by the board of directors. Now that his reputation has been ruined, I’m afraid no one on the board of directors will be convinced if he goes back to work now . Let’s talk about this slowly.”
Although Third Madam was unhappy, she saw that Qiao An wasn’t against transferring the shares to Li Zecheng. Thinking that there was still time, she didn’t persuade her anymore.
The old man said, “Alright, disperse.”
In this meeting, the old man did not give anyone a chance to speak. He only announced this fact and anxiously dismissed the meeting.
Everyone understood that the Old Master admired Qiao An and wanted her to join the board of directors to restrain the various families from forming cliques.
After the meeting ended, Li Zecheng was still in a daze when Qiao An suddenly called out gently, “Hubby, why are you still standing there? Go home.”
Li Zecheng looked at Qiao An in shock. Qiao An actually addressed him so gently? That gentle tone was as if nothing had happened between them. She was still his gentle and considerate An An.
While Li Zecheng was stunned, Third Madam touched his elbow and said with a smile, “Son, your wife asked you to leave, so hurry up and leave. Now that she’s pregnant with your child, she must have changed her mind and decided to live a good life with you.”
Li Zecheng’s brows relaxed as he strode after Qiao An.
He pulled Qiao An. “An An, are you really willing to reconcile with me?” Li Zecheng felt that Qiao An’s change of heart was not so simple.
Qiao An hid the sharpness in her eyes. Her voice was thin, like a boneless mollusk.
“Hubby, although you have made many unforgivable mistakes in the past, I will forgive you for the sake of the child.”
Her gaze on Li Zecheng became firm and sharp. “In the future, I will defend our marriage and work hard to give my child a healthy family. If anyone dares to destroy our family and hurt my child, I will definitely make them pay a heavy price. Including you.”
Qiao An didn’t know what kind of cold heart she’d used to say those passionate words. She thought. She’d probably gone crazy and lost herself.
She would even sell her soul for revenge.
Li Zecheng held Qiao An’s hand tightly and promised repeatedly, “Honey, don’t worry. I’ll definitely treat you and the child well in the future.”
Li Zecheng’s sugar-coated bullet only made Qiao An feel extremely disgusted. Qiao An said faintly, “Since you have the intention to return to your family, cut off your relationship with the woman outside first.”
