Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

Chapter 119: Powerful Backers

Qiao An said coldly, “I only hope that Grandpa will really do as he says and not interfere in our matters. Otherwise, when don’t blame me for not warning you when your military might is destroyed.”

These words were a stark warning.

Even though Old Master Li knew that Qiao An was headstrong, he still could not believe that this girl actually dared to threaten him.

Old Master Li’s eagle-eyed smile spread sinisterly. He said angrily, “Qiao An, you’re the first person who dares to speak to me like this.”

Qiao An stopped.

She turned around and walked to Li Zecheng. She warned him coldly, “Li Zecheng, if you think that a few rumors can defeat me, you’re really underestimating me. A living dead like me who crawled out of the ruins is a vengeful spirit. You better be polite to my friend. Otherwise, I’ll drag you to hell one day.”

Li Zecheng was not originally afraid of Qiao An, but when he met Qiao An’s dead eyes, he was hit with anger and fear.

“Qiao An, I underestimated you in the past.” Li Zecheng was trembling with anger.

With that, Qiao An left. She was like a cold wind on a quiet winter night, invading everyone’s pores.

Old Master Li’s disguise was completely ruined. He angrily grabbed the teacup and threw it on the ground. He scolded Li Zecheng and Li Tingfeng, “Stupid donkeys, if you want to deal with a weak little girl like Qiao An, why do you have to use such a lousy method?”

“You hired the internet trolls to destroy her innocence. Do you think that will deter Qiao An? You’re wrong. Qiao An is a girl who gets braver the more she’s defeated. By doing this, you’ll only stimulate her fighting spirit.”

“You better hide the fact that you’re defaming your own wife for the rest of your life. If others find out, where will our family reputation go?”

Li Tingfeng tactfully advised Old Master Li, “Dad, don’t worry. Qiao An is a girl who hasn’t seen the world. If we pressure her like this, she won’t be able to take it soon. She will take the initiative to negotiate with us.”

......

Li Zecheng also agreed with his father’s methods and echoed, “Grandpa, Qiao An didn’t even answer our calls previously, but today, she took the initiative to come to the Li family. She’s warning us on the surface, but she’s actually feeling guilty.”

The others were also angered by Qiao An’s disrespectful and arrogant attitude. After all, they were all high and mighty figures. Now that they were ignored and despised by Qiao An, they felt that they had to teach Qiao An a lesson before she would keep her claws.

“Dad, if we don’t teach Qiao An a lesson, that girl will become more and more lawless,” Li Tingye said in a low voice.

Old Master Li said faintly, “Don’t underestimate Qiao An’s destructive power. I warn you, no matter how you deal with Qiao An, our Li family’s reputation can’t be destroyed. The child in Qiao An’s womb must return to the Li family safely.”

After Old Master Li finished speaking, he stood up from the sofa and hobbled away with his walking stick.

The uncles exchanged glances and strengthened their opinions.

Li Xiaoran, who had been lying on the chaise lounge for a long time, suddenly sat up and stretched. His lazy gaze swept across his brothers and he said in a mocking and teasing tone, “Is a mere Qiao An worth your effort to deal with her?”

His words made his elder brothers lower their heads in embarrassment.

Li Xiaoran walked out of the door and said casually, “It’s not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Li Zecheng, it’s better to resolve enmity than to make enemies.”

Li Zecheng snorted. “Uncle, it’s easier said than done.”

Li Xiaoran stood at the door and suddenly turned to look at Li Zecheng. “Li Zecheng, after Qiao An jumped down from the ruins, she suffered a huge mental blow. What’s wrong with getting her to calm down?”

“Why?” Li Zecheng was very indignant. “She caused me trouble too.”

Li Xiaoran’s eyes suddenly turned cold. “Don’t you know that someone who has lost everything is not afraid of those who have everything to lose? I advise you to stop.”

Li Zecheng gritted his teeth in anger. “Uncle, you’re siding with outsiders.”

Li Xiaoran ignored Li Zecheng and strode away elegantly.

After Li Xiaoran left the Li family’s villa, he drove straight to Heavenly Imperial Garden. It was the most expensive villa in the capital. It had a retro architectural style. Every house had an area of more than a thousand square meters. It was a building that only the rich could buy.

Li Xiaoran’s house was here, but he did not want to go home today. He and Huo Zhou were neighbors, and he was here for Huo Zhou.

The two brothers sat in the courtyard made of green bricks. Li Xiaoran lit a cigarette and then elegantly smoked.

Huo Zhou looked at him silently. Through the hazy smoke, he saw Li Xiaoran’s very cold face.

“Are you here to smoke?” Huo Zhou asked.

Li Xiaoran threw the remaining half of the cigarette into the ashtray and looked up at Huo Zhou seriously. “I want you to arrange a job for Qiao An.”

Huo Zhou laughed. “Every time you beg me, it’s for Qiao An. Xiaoran, she’s really your nemesis.”

Li Xiaoran smiled bitterly. “Well, I’ve had the misfortune of liking her.”

Huo Zhou said, “What job?”

Li Xiaoran said, “Hai Yue Corporation.”

Huo Zhou was stunned. “Are you deliberately asking me to go against the Li family?”

Li Xiaoran said, “Other than that, I want you to help Qiao An with online harassment.”

Huo Zhou said, “I’m good at this. As long as we find a lawyer to sue the person who stood out, those fake reviewers will definitely scatter like birds and beasts.”

Li Xiaoran reminded him, “No lawyer might be willing to take Qiao An’s case.”

Huo Zhou said, “That’s a little troublesome. If I mobilize the Huo family’s personal lawyer, won’t the Li family know that I’m Qiao An’s backer?”

Li Xiaoran corrected her. “You’re not. I am.”

Huo Zhou was dumbfounded.

‘What difference does it make?’

“Alright, I’ll do as you say.” Huo Zhou leaned forward and asked Li Xiaoran, “Xiaoran, I’ve helped you so much. How are you going to thank me?”

Li Xiaoran said, “What do you want?”

Huo Zhou said, “Go back to the Huo family and share some of my responsibilities and obligations.”

Li Xiaoran said, “Discuss the conditions with me after you’re done.”

Huo Zhou pursed his lips. “Don’t go back on your word.”

In front of Li Xiaoran, Huo Zhou called the son of Lu Beishan, the founder of the Hai Yue Corporation. “Lu Lu, this is Huo Zhou.”

The two of them chatted for a while before Huo Zhou cut to the chase. “Lu Lu, I need your help with something. My brother’s good friend, Qiao An, has been fired by Hai Yue. Can you take back your order?”

“Brother, you’ve already called me personally to explain. How can I disappoint you?”

“I’ll treat you to dinner later.”

Huo Zhou hung up and made an OK gesture at Li Xiaoran.
