After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Chapter 166 Moral Kidnapping

She looked even more pitiful at this moment, but Li Jiawei knew in her heart that this was just her usual trick - showing weakness. Once she showed her weakness in front of others, she could easily win sympathy and pity, making others stand on her side and condemn the opponents.

In the past, during her marriage to Zhang Yi, Xu Xianglan always acted strong and arrogant in front of her. But now, seeing her use the same strategy on herself as she used on outsiders, Li Jiawei couldn't help but laugh. This laugh contained complex emotions: helplessness, irony, relief... and perhaps even a hint of pleasure.

Li Jiawei looked down at Xu Xianglan, whose face was covered in blood, and asked coldly, "Did Zhang Yi ask you to come to me?"

Xu Xianglan unconsciously avoided Li Jiawei's gaze. When she came, Zhang Yi tried to stop her, but she knew her son's character very well. His obstruction was just a superficial gesture. In fact, he wanted her to come to Li Jiawei for help. After all, they couldn't raise millions of dollars in compensation even if they sold all their property.

He just didn't want to bow down to Li Jiawei in person because of his face. But as a mother, she didn't want to embarrass her son. So, she came tonight and knelt down to Li Jiawei. Her original intention was to morally blackmail Li Jiawei in front of everyone and force her to withdraw the case.

Seeing Xu Xianglan's evasive look, Li Jiawei knew what was going on and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You three, everyone in your family wants to have eight hundred minds, you are so hypocritical and selfish, it's disgusting."

Tonight, after agreeing to Director Qiao's dinner request, she had expected something like this to happen. After all, Fang Mei had worked in the Finance Bureau of the Economic Development Zone for many years, so she would always have a few colleagues with whom she had a good relationship. Since Zhang Yi wanted to meet her, the only opportunity he could find was this dinner.

Li Jiawei unconsciously looked at Tian Fen from the budget department. She was a person who sympathized with Fang Mei and had a close relationship with Xu Xianglan. Xu Xianglan was able to accurately find the private room where they were having dinner, and Tian Fen must have contributed greatly.

However, Li Jiawei no longer cares what these people do now. No matter what means they use, she is fearless in the face of "reason".

She smiled and looked at Xu Xianglan, saying, "Do you think that a few kowtows can be worth millions? You knew you couldn't afford it, so why did you keep provoking me? When we divorced, I said that we would be strangers when we met again. I never thought of doing anything to you, but you kept on pestering me, spreading rumors, slandering me, and pestering me..."

At this point, Li Jiawei paused, the look in her eyes gradually becoming colder. She lowered her head and looked directly into Xu Xianglan's eyes, and asked coldly: "How many times do you think I can let you go? Why do you think I will give in every time? It's just the sense of superiority you have when you bullied me in the past!"

Xu Xianglan tried to avoid Li Jiawei's gaze, then suddenly rushed towards her, crying and shouting, "Just kill me, I'll give you my life, is it enough to compensate you?"

Li Jiawei took a step back, turned around, picked up her backpack, and said calmly: "You don't have to argue with me. The law will define the compensation. I can't afford your life, and I won't take it, but I must pay you a penny less. And think about your son. He still has to work in a government agency. If you spread this, I really don't know how others will see him."

Then, Li Jiawei said to Director Qiao: "Director Qiao, I'm sorry, let's stop here for today's meal. Thank you all for seeing me off. We'll see you later. I'm leaving now."

Seeing Li Jiawei turn around and leave without hesitation, Xu Xianglan yelled, "Li Jiawei, you are not allowed to leave!"

However, Li Jiawei did not turn around. She walked out of the box and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Xu Xianglan tried to get up and chase after him, but was stopped by Wang Xin. Director Qiao rubbed his brows in annoyance, and swept his serious eyes over everyone present, and he couldn't eat a peaceful meal.

But faced with this mess, she had to clean up the mess, so she could only say in a gentle voice: "Wang Xin, take her to the hospital for a checkup. She has lost so much blood and she is so old, don't let anything happen to her."

Xu Xianglan struggled to break free from Wang Xin's hold, and kept shouting, "I'm fine, I'm not going to the hospital, let me go!"

Chief Qiao said seriously, "Madam, if anything happens to you here, no one here can take the responsibility. You should go to the hospital for a check-up. If the doctor says you are fine, then it is up to you to do anything you want. But you must go to the hospital now, otherwise, I will call the police now. Do you want me to do that?"

Xu Xianglan looked at Director Qiao's stern expression and finally stopped struggling. She then suddenly sat down on a chair and cried heartbreakingly: "Millions of dollars, how can we afford to pay it back? Li Jiawei wants to drive our whole family into a dead end. Isn't she just a rich woman on the list? What's there to be proud of? That man will dump her sooner or later. She's such a heartless person. Our family treated her so well in the beginning. We helped her find this job. Now that she's divorced, she feels like she has someone to back her up, and she turns around and bites our family."

Listening to Xu Xianglan's crying, Director Qiao showed a sarcastic smile: "Your family still doesn't know what Li Jiawei's situation is? Hanging out with rich men? Who told you?"

Xu Xianglan took a tissue from the dining table, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sneered with disdain: "If she doesn't hang out with rich men, how can she drive a luxury car and carry a bag worth millions?"

Director Qiao looked around at his colleagues, and finally his eyes fell on Xu Xianglan. He smiled and said, "Then let me tell you why she can drive a luxury car and wear luxury goods. That's because after she divorced your son last year, her biological parents found her. Do you know who her biological parents are?"

Xu Xianglan stopped what she was doing and looked at Director Qiao. She felt an uneasy premonition inexplicably in her heart: "What do you mean by that? Her biological parents? Her biological parents are farmers. How much money can they have?"

Director Qiao sighed, "When she was born, the hospital reported the wrong information. Her biological parents are Li Ronghua and his wife from the Li Group. Do you know the Li Group? It's the largest listed company in West City, and her father, Li Ronghua, is the richest man in West City."

Xu Xianglan certainly knew about the Li Group. The house they were living in was a building developed by a real estate company under the Li Group. But how was this possible? How could Li Jiawei be the daughter of Li Ronghua?

She shook her head in disbelief and said, "That's impossible."

Director Qiao laughed and said, "Why is this impossible? Her biological parents found her only after she divorced your son. If your son had divorced her a month or two later, what would your family be like now? Maybe it would be your son and you who are driving luxury cars and wearing luxury goods now!"
