Chapter 89 - Chasing Mother

Qiao An wanted to laugh. It was probably more convenient for them to torture her this way!

The car stopped, but Qiao An didn’t get out. Instead, she raised her harsh conditions to Li Zecheng. “As for me, I don’t want to live with your mother. So you have to tell her not to come to Star Palace again in the future. Otherwise, you’ll hurt my pregnancy if you quarrel with me.”

Li Zecheng gritted his teeth. “Qiao An, you’re too much. That’s my mother. Can’t she come to her son’s house? Besides, she came to Star Palace to take care of you, a pregnant woman. Don’t be ungrateful.”

Qiao An rolled his eyes at him.

Qiao An said unhurriedly, “Alright. Then I’ll pick my father up later. After all, I’m still counting on my father to take care of me after I get pregnant.”

Li Zeen stared at Qiao An in disbelief.

Li Zecheng had indirectly caused Mother Qiao’s death. From then on, his relationship with his father-in-law had plummeted. When Father Qiao saw Li Zecheng, he couldn’t wait to kill him. When Li Zecheng saw Father Qiao, he was terrified. How could he dare to live under the same roof as him?

“Qiao An, you’re too much,” Li Zecheng said angrily.

Qiao An said, “Li Zecheng, is there a rule in the marriage law stating that a mother-in-law can stay at her son’s house but a father-in-law can’t stay at a daughter’s house? What double standards you have.”

With that, Qiao An opened the car door and got out.

Li Zecheng smoked a cigarette in the car before getting out.

Qiao An swaggered past Third Madam and entered the house without a word.

In the past, Third Madam hated Qiao An’s servile attitude towards her the most. No matter how she scolded her, she was like a boneless pug, always respectful and smiling at her.

However, the current Third Madam inexplicably missed the soft and even-tempered Qiao An. Unlike the current Qiao An, whose heart was cold.

“Stop,” Third Madam shouted at Qiao An.

Qiao An stopped moving and didn’t look back. She just stood there quietly, waiting for her to attack.

Third Madam walked over shamelessly. Now that she knew that Qiao An was a tough nut to crack, her attitude towards her wasn’t as arrogant as before. However, she couldn’t warm up to her.

Speaking of which, Third Madam was weak against the strong.

“Qiao An, I’m your mother-in-law. You should at least greet me when you see me, right?”

Qiao An said perfunctorily, “Oh, hello, mother-in-law.”

Third Madam was speechless.

“Forget it. Since you’re so unwilling, why force yourself? From today onwards, I’m going to stay at the Star Palace. I hope you can respect me as your mother-in-law…” Third Madam chattered on and set the rules.

Qiao An gave Li Zecheng a meaningful look and bade farewell to Third Madam. “Mother-in-law, I’m a little tired. If you have anything to say, get your son to talk to me.”

With that, Qiao An left.

Third Madam choked. She was so angry that her eyes rolled back.

“That’s rude,” Third Madam said in exasperation.

Li Zecheng walked up to his mother with an ugly expression.

Third Madam looked at Li Zecheng. Li Zecheng said boldly, “Mom, you should go back to the Li family villa.”

Third Madam immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. “What do you mean? Don’t you know that your eldest aunt and second aunt have been targeting me recently? I came to your place to relax, and you want me to go back?”

Third Madam suddenly realized and said angrily, “Was it Qiao An’s idea? Is it? She wanted to chase me away, right?”

Li Zecheng said, “She said that she doesn’t need you to take care of her.”

Third Madam had never thought of taking care of her. She just moved in with the excuse of taking care of her.

Now that Qiao An didn’t appreciate it, she was very angry.

“Who wants to take care of her? Who cares about taking care of her? This is my son’s house. I can stay here if I want to. Why should she care?”

Li Zecheng felt a headache coming on.

“Mom, if you don’t leave, Qiao An will get her father to stay over. You know that her father hates me to the core. If he comes, will I still dare to enter this house?”

Third Madam cursed, “We paid for this house for you. The Qiao family didn’t pay a single cent. What right do they have to live here? How can they have the cheek to live here?”

Her voice was especially loud in order for Qiao An to hear her.

Qiao An was not angry. She leaned against the door and looked at Li Zecheng with a deep smile. Her face was filled with disdain and mockery, making Li Zecheng feel ashamed of his ignorant mother.

Li Zecheng said to Third Madam earnestly, “Mom, although the Li family paid for this house, the Qiao family also paid for the renovation. Besides, this is our common asset after marriage. Logically speaking, Qiao An should have a share. Since she has a share, she has the right to bring her father here.”

Third Madam’s face darkened.

She glared fiercely at Qian An and left resentfully.

Qiao An returned to the house with a smile and curled up comfortably on the sofa.

Li Zecheng walked in with a dark expression and said coldly, “I sent my mother away. Are you satisfied?”

Qiao An said, “I’m doing this for your own good. You said that she lives here and doesn’t like me. If she makes me unhappy, can I make you happy?”

Li Zecheng sat down. It was unknown if it was to take revenge on Qiao An or if he was a second-generation heir himself, but he was lazy. He actually ordered Qiao An very domineeringly, “I’m hungry. Go make dinner.”

In the past, Qiao An had always taken on all his missions. Therefore, Li Zecheng had become used to relying on her.

But he didn’t know that when he gave up on her in the ruins, she had already given up her love for him at the same time.

Qiao An rolled her eyes at him and said, “Li Zecheng, I’m not your nanny. I’m not obligated to cook for you.”

Li Zecheng looked at Qiao An in shock as if he had heard a fairy tale gone awry. Then, he said confidently, “You’re my wife. If you don’t cook, who will?”

He was a profligate son who had lived a carefree life since he was young. He didn’t know how to wash clothes and cook at all.

Qiao An said, “Don’t you have hands? Why can’t you cook yourself? Do you expect a soft pregnant woman like me to cook for you?”

“I married you because I wanted you to serve me. Otherwise, why would I marry you?” Li Zecheng said unhappily.

Qiao An rolled her eyes at him and said sarcastically, “Other men marry their wives to dote on them. You marry your wife for her to be a slave. Li Zecheng, whoever marries you is unlucky.”

Li Zecheng’s face darkened. With anger, Li Zecheng said angrily, “Qiao An, just do your best. Sooner or later, you will regret it.”

Then he flicked his sleeves and left.

Qiao An lay on the sofa leisurely. She picked up her phone unhurriedly and sent a message to her beautiful best friend, Lan Xi. “My dog is out. It’s time for you to show your charm.”
