Chapter 74: Uncle’s Prestige, Nephew’s Shock

Li Zecheng did not expect Qiao An to be capable of coaxing Chen Xiao so happily.

On the other hand, Wei Xin had been holding back ever since she entered the clubhouse.

Qiao An wasn’t wearing a gorgeous gown, but she exuded confidence. Li Zecheng had to admit that she was charming.

Chen Xiao’s impression of Qiao An increased. “Since Miss Qiao wants to toast me, you shouldn’t drink milk and red wine. How about that?”

Qiao An looked very sorry. “I’m sorry, President Chen. I’m pregnant and can’t drink for the time being.”

The men looked at Qiao An sympathetically. Then, their condemning gazes shifted to Li Zecheng.

Chen Xiao even bluntly defended Qiao An. “Zecheng, this is your fault. Qiao An is pregnant and she’s pregnant with your child. How can you divorce her at this time? You’re too cruel to Qiao An.”

Li Zecheng looked like he was suffering in silence.

Li Zecheng glared at Qiao An angrily. At this moment, he really believed her. Qiao An’s IQ was indeed a few levels higher than Wei Xin’s.

Perhaps Wei Xin could tell that Li Zecheng was dissatisfied with her stupidity, so she finally mustered up the courage to speak up for Li Zecheng.

“After Brother Zecheng married Qiao An, he realized that her personality and values didn’t match with his. For example, shouldn’t girls dress beautifully on such an important occasion today? But look at Qiao An, she’s dressed so sloppily.” At this point, Wei Xin pinched her nose and made a disdainful expression.

Qiao An criticized bluntly, “Miss Wei, if you think that not wearing makeup and a complicated dress is sloppy and disrespectful, then I have to say something fair for every pregnant mother. We love beauty, but we love the little life in our stomachs more. Is that wrong?”

The people present were either medical students or people in the field of medicine. They cherished life, so they agreed with Qiao An’s point.

“Miss Qiao is a great mother. To you.” Chen Xiao raised his glass and clinked it against Qiao An’s milk glass. He said very gentlemanly, “Feel free. I’ll drink.”

Wei Xin’s face turned gray.

At this moment, Chen Xiao’s assistant walked over and reported respectfully to Chen Xiao, “President Chen, he’s here.”

Chen Xiao immediately put down his wine glass and tidied his clothes. Then, he said solemnly,

“I have to welcome him personally.”

Qiao An was puzzled. Chen Xiao was already such a heavyweight, so who was this important guest that he valued so much?

When Chen Xiao received his VIP, Qiao An was dumbfounded.

It was actually Li Xiaoran.

Li Zecheng was even more shocked. After all, in his eyes, his uncle had never been involved in politics or business.

When Li Xiaoran walked to Qiao An’s side, he deliberately stopped.

He looked at the shocked Qiao An with her foxy eyes and teased, “What’s with that expression? Don’t you know me?”

Qiao An muttered under her breath, “What are you doing here?”

Li Xiaoran said, “Oh, my junior insisted that I come over.”

At this moment, Chen Xiao walked over. He personally brought a glass of red wine for Li Xiaoran and handed it to him.

Then, he introduced everyone enthusiastically. “Everyone, this is my senior. My senior brother is a rare talent. The medicine he developed is the most expensive drug in the market.”

Li Zecheng looked surprised.

If what Chen Xiao said was true, then his uncle was not completely useless. His research and development could bring unpredictable profits to the Li family’s pharmaceutical company.

Thinking of how Li Xiaoran had given such a good opportunity to earn money to another company, Li Zecheng revealed a very regretful expression.

Li Zecheng mocked Li Xiaoran sourly, “Uncle, is what Chen Xiao said true? Did you really give your research and development to another company? Grandpa will be very angry if he finds out that you gave such a good treasure to someone else.”

Li Xiaoran frowned and said coldly, “Just because my surname is Li, the things I developed should be given to the Li family?”

“Isn’t that so?” Li Zecheng asked.

“Then what benefits can the Li family give me?”

“Grandpa will give you a bonus.”

Li Xiaoran chuckled, clearly not taking this bonus seriously.

Chen Xiao took the initiative to help Li Xiaoran out. He said, “Zecheng, people strive for higher heights. Xiaoran looks down on the Li family’s meager profits. His net worth is something the Li family can’t afford.”

Li Zecheng had always treated Li Xiaoran as a poor doctor. Now that he heard Chen Xiao say that he was rich, he was shocked and jealous.

He felt like he had been pressed to the ground by Li Xiaoran and slapped in the face.

Li Xiaoran shifted his gaze to Wei Xin and asked Chen Xiao with a smile, “Chen Xiao, is it a couple party today?”

Chen Xiao smiled and said, “I knew that Senior was a romantic, so I specially arranged a couple’s party. I didn’t expect Senior Brother to still be single after so many years.”

Li Xiaoran turned his head and asked Qiao An, “Look, you’re alone. I’m also alone. Why don’t we make do with each other and you be my dance partner?”

Qiao An smiled and nodded.

Li Zecheng straightened his neck and objected. “Qiao An, don’t forget that you’re my wife. How can you seduce others in front of me?”

Li Xiaoran smiled at Qiao An.

After witnessing Qiao An’s ruthlessness against Li Zecheng, he believed that Qiao An could easily retort..

Qiao An said, “Li Zecheng, I dance with Dr. Li in front of you. This is considered open and aboveboard. Unlike you, who seduced other women behind your wife’s back.”

Li Zecheng’s face darkened.

He looked at Wei Xin and suddenly shook off her hand, pulling Qiao An in front of him.

“Dance with me,” he ordered.

Qiao An nodded. “Sure.”

Wei Xin felt embarrassed to be alone. She walked up to Li Xiaoran and invited him. “Doctor Li, why don’t I dance with you?”

Li Xiaoran rolled his eyes at her. “I find it dirty.”

Wei Xin’s face turned pale.

Li Zecheng brought Qiao An onto the dance floor. The two of them danced harmoniously, and Qiao An stepped on his feet from time to time.

Li Zecheng gritted his teeth and endured.

“Qiao An, aren’t you very close to Uncle? Go and tell him to authorize his neurotransmission.”

Qian An was flabbergasted. So this guy had an ulterior motive for asking her to dance.

“Why would I do that? What’s in it for me?”

“I’ll give you money, ten million. How about it?”

Qiao An sneered. “Then why don’t I let him authorize it directly? I think the board of directors of the Li Family Pharmaceutical Group will definitely give me a dividend.”

Qiao An shook Li Zecheng off and returned to the resting area.
