407 Zeyu’s Return, Ze’en’s Loss of Favor
Qiao An’s words embarrassed the mistress. However, shaless people were invincible.
She imdiately argued, “Qiao An, look at what you’re saying. Nowadays, everyone advocates equality between n and won. No matter how old my son is, he’s still my flesh and blood. He lives alone outside and we’re separated. I have to worry about him every day.”
Qiao An sneered. “Third Sister-in-law really has double standards. If it’s your son, he has to be kept close for protection, yet your stepdaughter has to go out and beco independent.”
She had crushed the woman’s pestering. Whatever the woman said, Qiao An would use it to against her. She lowered her head obediently and didn’t speak.
Everyone was a little surprised. Qiao An had always been indifferent to matters with the Li family, much less a busybody. But today, she took the initiative to side with Ze’en. There was sothing mysterious about this.
Qiao An was indeed selfish. She had to leave Ze’en in the Li family so that she could use Ze’en to monitor Li Tingfeng’s every word and action.
What a coincidence. On the sa day, Li Tingfeng’s illegitimate son, Li Zeyu, returned.
He was indeed a handso man and did not have the arrogance of the Li family’s children. His every move was scholarly.
Madam could not hide the satisfaction in her eyes when she saw him.
As for the mistress, she pulled her son and bragged everywhere, “Zeyu, this is Grandma. Hurry up and call her Grandma.”
“Hello, Grandma.” Li Zeyu’s voice was magnetic and gentle.
Madam was especially satisfied and nodded repeatedly. “It’s good that you’re back.”
“This is your aunt.”
“Hello, Aunt.”
“This is Second Aunt.”
“Hello, Second Aunt.”
When the woman and Li Zeyu walked up to Qiao An, the woman’s tone beca a little unpleasant. Her tone turned cold. “This is your fourth aunt.”
Li Zeyu looked at Qiao An in a daze. Qiao An was too young and beautiful. She was prettier than any woman he had ever seen. Qiao An’s temperant made Li Zeyu a little dazed.
“Fourth Aunt?” he murmured.
He could not hide the disappointnt in his tone.
She was actually married?
Qiao An nodded slightly in return.
At this mont, Li Ze’en took the initiative to introduce herself. “I’m Ze’en.”
Li Zeyu was a little embarrassed, but then he smiled warmly. “Hi, Sister Ze’en.”
Li Ze’en said coldly, “It’s our first ti eting. I’m not used to having a brother suddenly appear.”
Li Zeyu was a little embarrassed. His mother was shaless, but that didn’t an he was the sa. He knew his mother’s role and position. A mistress destroying soone else’s family was a role that everyone would despise.
He was pale with embarrassnt. “Ze’en, I’m sorry. There are so things I can’t control.”
When his mother heard her son’s uncertain words, she was imdiately furious. She scolded Li Zeyu angrily, “Son, co here. Your sister Ze’en is in the underworld and has made many shady friends. Don’t interact with her so much in the future.”
“Mom, stop talking,” Li Zeyu dissuaded her.
His gentlemanly behavior instantly won everyone’s favor.
Li Zeyu was not as unreasonable as his mother. He was well-educated and followed etiquette. He received everyone’s approval on their first eting.
Madam bead. “I think this child is a little similar to Zecheng when he was young. He’s so handso and has the elegance of a famous disciple.”
It was unknown if their daughters-in-law were sincere or not, but they all echoed, “Mom, you must be happy now that you have such a good grandson.”
The old lady nodded.
No one noticed that Li Ze’en’s eyes were red in the corner.
Qiao An patted the back of her hand gently and reminded everyone weakly, “Everyone only sees the new person who smiles but not the old one who cries.”
Everyone turned to look at Qiao An when they heard her sigh. When they saw Ze’en’s teary eyes, they were ashad.
Li Zeyu blad himself.
Qiao An stared at him boldly and said bluntly, “Li Zeyu, you took away the love that originally belonged to Ze’en.”
Li Zeyu was very ashad. “I’m sorry… I…”
However, this Third Madam was very domineering. She rushed to Qiao An and roared, “Qiao An, what are you saying? My Zeyu ca ho today to acknowledge his ancestors, but he didn’t say or do anything. What right do you have to say that he stole Li Ze’en’s love?”
She stood in front of Qiao An with her hands on her hips like a shrew.
Li Zeyu glanced at Qiao An. It felt as though he had known Qiao An for a long ti. Qiao An had a sharp edge to her, but her edge was different from his mother’s. She was as quiet as an orchid in an empty valley. However, her gentle voice was like a gentle spring, moist and silent, as she overca the enemy.
Qiao An ooked disdainfully at the shrew. “So people’s existence is a form of harm to others.”
Li Zeyu’s eyes were filled with sha.
He said bitterly, “Fourth Aunt, I know you look down on illegitimate children like us, but my existence is out of my control. If I could choose, I definitely wouldn’t have co to this world.”
Third Madam opened her mouth. She might never have known that the son she was so proud of would be ashad of being her son.
She was about to break down. “Qiao An, you’re too much. Did my Zeyu provoke you? Why are you humiliating him like this?”
Qiao An stole a glance at Li Zeyu and saw that his ears were red from embarrassnt. She felt a little guilty.
Li Zeyu looked like he had good morals. It was rare for an immoral mother to raise such an outstanding son.
Qiao An knew her mistake and imdiately said to Li Zeyu, “Li Zeyu, you’re not wrong. It’s your mother who’s wrong. She built her happiness on others’ pain.”
“However,” She changed the topic. “Li Zeyu, your appearance is a form of harm to Li Ze’en. In the future, if you can stay out of her way, please do so. Of course, if Ze’en can accept you, that’s a different story.”
Qiao An finished and exhaled.
She felt that she was quite disgraceful. In order to investigate Li Tingfeng, she had sched to send Li Zeyu away. After all, if a young talent like Li Zeyu stayed in the Li family, Ze’en would definitely not be able to defeat him.
The hall was in chaos. On the other side, Old Master and Huo Xiaoran finally received the news.
The butler reported carefully, “Master, Fourth Young Master, Li Zeyu is back. Young Madam had an argunt with him.”
