Li Tingfeng’s expression was ugly.

Qiao An didn’t spare him any courtesy in front of his father-in-law, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Although he had long heard that this daughter-in-law was very unyielding and even dared to talk back to his father, Li Tingfeng didn’t think that Qiao An was difficult to tame. He felt that his father was too soft-hearted at times. Why did he have to reason with a little girl like Qiao An who had no background or backing? He could just show his trump card and give her some trouble, and she would retreat.

“Qiao An, I want you to withdraw the divorce lawsuit. As compensation, we can give you a portion of the money,” Li Tingfeng said confidently.

Qiao An looked at Li Tingfeng without any expression. Although Li Tingfeng was his father-in-law, his private life was chaotic. Qiao An suppressed her disdain for this father-in-law who had a human face but a beast’s heart.

Naturally, her attitude towards Li Tingfeng was not good.

“What if I don’t withdraw the lawsuit?” Qiao An looked at Li Tingfeng proudly.

Li Tingfeng curled his lips into an evil smile, his smile filled with disdain for Qiao An. His gaze landed on Qiao An’s box and he said leisurely, “Why, have you been fired by Hai Yue?”

Qiao An knew very well that if one lowered their head, the crown would fall. She puffed out her chest and raised her head, saying with a cold aura, “If you think that making me lose my job will make me cancel the divorce lawsuit, I advise you not to waste your efforts.”

Qiao An composed herself and said with a firm gaze, “When I, Qiao An, jumped down from the ruins, I thought my life was gone. I lived these extra years to collect debts from you, Li Zecheng. I have to carry out this divorce lawsuit to the end unless I die.”

Her fearlessness finally shook Li Tingfeng. At this moment, this decisive man in the business world finally saw Qiao An’s courageousness.

His eyelashes drooped, and his eyes were deep as he racked his brains to think of a way to deal with Qiao An.

“Qiao An, didn’t you fight this lawsuit to obtain more compensation from the Li family?”

“But you’re too childish. Only if you please the Li family will our Li family willingly give you what you want, money, a mansion, and a good job. By breaking off ties with the Li family, you will have nothing. I don’t think this is the outcome you want, right?”

Qiao An chuckled.

The Li family did not understand her grievance and anger.

Deception, betrayal, and a life… The pain Li Zecheng inflicted on her tore at Qiao An’s soul. It was so painful that she would wake up with tears in her eyes every night.

What she wanted now was to destroy Li Zecheng, not to fight for those worldly things that she could not bring with her when she was alive. The reason she fought for these worldly things was to take revenge on Li Zecheng.

Qiao An sneered. “I’ll say it again. When we get a divorce, I’ll take what’s mine. If it’s not mine, I won’t take a single cent.”

Li Tingfeng saw the determination in Qiao An’s eyes and snapped out of his daze.

“I understand, Qiao An. Your goal in this divorce lawsuit is not the Li family’s money, but to destroy my son. You want Li Zecheng to lose his reputation, right?”

Li Tingfeng’s tone was so agitated that even he found it difficult to believe that a little girl like Qiao An could be so unyielding.

Even if it was not for money, she seemed determine to go on a path of revenge.

Of course, Li Tingfeng’s speculation completely shocked Li Zecheng. Li Zecheng’s face was ashen. He looked at Qiao An in shock and said in disbelief, “Qiao An, is that really what you think? You are fight me in the divorce lawsuit to ruin my reputation? Is that really what you think?”

Even now, Li Zecheng still couldn’t believe it. He had always thought that Qiao An had loved him to the core. It had only been a few months, and even if he made a thousand mistakes, she couldn’t have put an end to all her feelings for him. He didn’t believe that Qiao An was so heartless to him.

Qiao An was calm after Li Tingfeng.

She looked at the father and son and said disdainfully, “Yes.”

At that moment, Li Zecheng felt as if the bubble in his heart had burst. He felt like a clown. He had trusted Qiao An for so long and believed that she would sincerely reconcile with him for the sake of the child. In the end, it was just a dream.

Qiao An was the good hunter.

“Good, very good. Qiao An, I finally see your true colors. You’re so scheming. During this period of time, you deliberately made peace, causing me to almost believe that you had changed your mind and wanted to live a good life with me. I didn’t expect it to be your scheme. You ambushed me. You must have found a lot of evidence that was in your favor, right?”

Qiao An looked at Li Zecheng’s devastated expression and felt especially amused.

“Li Zecheng, how does it feel to be deceived by the person closest to you? Do you understand my despair now?”

Li Zecheng’s fierce gaze slowly faded under Qiao An’s condemnation. Then, he mocked himself arrogantly, “You really put in a lot of effort to take revenge on me. Tell me, what evidence do you have?”

Qiao An said proudly, “You should have all the things you’re sorry for.”

A hint of fear appeared in Li Zecheng’s eyes, but he didn’t believe that Qiao An was so capable.

“Qiao An, do you think you can destroy me just because you have evidence against me? Hehe, you’re simply delusional.”

“Then we’ll see.”

Li Zecheng finally felt a little guilty.

At this moment, Li Tingfeng laughed at Qiao An. “Qiao An, I know that you’re fearless, but I have to warn you. If you become enemies with the Li family, not only will you not be able to destroy Li Zecheng, I will make you regret your decision today.”

His vicious gaze landed on Qiao An, and he said disdainfully, “If you want a lawsuit, we’ll accompany you. However, I can guarantee that this lawsuit will be like a drizzle in the capital. It won’t cause any waves in the capital.”

Li Tingfeng added, “If we request a secret court proceeding, not even a fly can get in.”

Qiao An was secretly annoyed.

She was too impulsive, so much so that she exposed her ambitions and motives too early, making the Li family wary.

However, her heart was racing. If she could not defeat Li Zecheng, she would feel uncomfortable.

She could only comfort herself by taking one step at a time.

Li Tingfeng’s gaze finally landed on Qiao An’s stomach. He smiled and said, “Qiao An, you’re pregnant with our Li family’s great-grandson. On account of him, you shouldn’t make things difficult for Zecheng. If Zecheng has a bad record, it will greatly affect your child’s future.”
