Qiao An was stunned when she saw Huo Xiaoran suddenly appear.

The netizens below shouted, “Get together, get together…”

At this moment, someone posted a comment below. “I wonder when the moral standards of our citizens became so low. They actually support a scumbag couple who cheated in a marriage. Have their morals been eaten by dogs?”

These words suddenly silenced the lively screen.

Then, someone stood up in righteous indignation and defended Qiao An. “Qiao An has already said that she doesn’t advocate infidelity. She and Huo Xiaoran were originally a very loving couple. They didn’t get married because of the scumbag’s deception. It was also because of the scumbag’s betrayal that her physical and mental health was greatly damaged after she fell off the building. However, Prince Charming didn’t despise her and still protected her. Under such circumstances, can Qiao An resist his attack when her first love was drunk? Damn, no one is a saint.”

“I like what Lin Weiyin said: If you hold me in your arms, love me to the bone, and protect me, I’m willing to cover my eyes and not distinguish if you’re a human or a ghost. You treat me sincerely or perfunctorily. My heart is as clear as a mirror. I’m only pretending to be stupid for my liking. I’m a passerby in the spring breeze. You’re with me. I’m lucky to have met you for three lifetimes. Even if it’s sad, it’s still love.”

There was an uproar below the comment.

“That’s right, that’s right. I’m so envious of Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran’s love.”

Qiao An felt better as she looked at the comments on the screen.

At this moment, Huo Xiaoran spoke again. “If Qiao An is guilty, let the law punish her. If anyone dares to slander her outside the law in the future, I, Huo Xiaoran, will pursue them to the end.”

The domineering declaration instantly made the troll ashamed. The troll was probably afraid that his IP would be found out, so he went offline dejectedly.

The internet erupted.

This battle of morals and true feelings ended with Qiao An’s letter of apology.

When Old Master and Old Madam Huo saw that Huo Xiaoran’s popularity support did not decrease but increased, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, at the Li residence, Li Zecheng had just returned home when he saw Old Master Li sitting on the sofa and looking at him coldly.

“Gone to your uncle’s wedding?”

“Yes, Grandpa.” Li Zecheng gloated. “I originally thought that by attending my uncle’s wedding, I could get in touch with his social connections. Who knew that the wedding would become a farce? The bride was captured and the groom was criticized by the entire Internet.”

Old Master Li sneered. “Criticized by the entire Internet? Have you seen the trending searches?”

When Li Zecheng saw the trending topic, it was already a few hours ago. At that time, Qiao An’s essay had yet to be released.

Li Zecheng’s understanding was still that Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An had cheated on him. The entire Internet criticized Qiao An for being disloyal to her marriage. Li Zecheng smacked his lips and said magnanimously, “Grandpa, Qiao An cheated on me during our marriage. Do you know about this?”

Old Master Li said, “I just found out.”

“Hmph, I was originally very angry and wanted to reason with Huo Xiaoran. However, seeing that he was attacked by the netizens, I forgave him. As long as he’s willing to give the Li Corporation a way out, I won’t argue with him about this. Otherwise, I won’t let him off.”

Old Master Li snorted. “Take a look at the trending searches.”

Li Zecheng turned on his phone suspiciously. When he saw Qiao An’s essay, the netizens criticized him for being immoral and gave him the title of scum, he immediately exploded.

“Qiao An, you cheated on me, gave birth to another man’s children, and fooled us. Yet you are the one with the good reputation while I’m getting a bad name.” Li Zecheng was so angry that his chest heaved.

However, Old Master Li looked at him as if he was a clown. He didn’t forget to hit the nail on the head. “Li Zecheng, did you see that? Qiao An’s methods and ability, her intelligence, and her ability to avert danger are what a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family should have. Such an outstanding daughter-in-law was forcefully destroyed by you.”

Li Zecheng was suddenly speechless.

Yes, for the first time, he felt Qiao An’s intelligence from the bottom of his heart.

He originally thought that Huo Xiaoran would definitely be condemned this time. However, Qiao An’s sincere and humorous apology successfully averted this crisis.

He truly felt that he had lost some treasure.

Old Master Li pointed at his nose and scolded, “You, you’re like your mother. You’re short-sighted. You pushed out such a promising wife.”

Li Zecheng and his mother lowered their heads at the same time.

Wei Xin gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred.

It had been so many years. She had already helped the Li family bear two grandchildren, but Old Master Li still did not acknowledge her. This made her feel that her life was a failure.

The smugness that had made her so high and mighty in front of Qiao An had all turned into pebbles under her feet.

When she returned to her room, Wei Xin asked Li Zecheng with tears in her eyes, “What does Grandpa mean? Is he still dreaming of Qiao An coming back to be his granddaughter-in-law?”

Li Zecheng was convinced by Qiao An’s wisdom today. No matter how he looked at Wei Xin, he did not like her. He said angrily, “Grandpa is regretful that I gave up on a smart wife like Qiao An back then.”

Wei Xin said with red eyes, “Why? Do you think I’m stupid too? If you think I’m stupid, go find Qiao An?”

When Third Madam heard her son and daughter-in-law arguing, she pushed the door open and persuaded, “You’re so noisy. You only know how to quarrel every day. If you have the mood to quarrel, why don’t you put in some effort to help Zecheng develop his career?”

Wei Xin retorted bluntly, “Mom, have you helped your father-in-law develop his career all these years? Not everyone in this world can be Qiao An. I can’t do it, and Mom can’t do it either. Why does Mom have to criticize me for failing at something you can’t do?”

“Wei Xin, other than your unforgiving mouth, what else can you do?” Third Madam was so angry that she slammed the door and left.

Wei Xin and Li Zecheng stared at each other. Li Zecheng could not be bothered to argue with her and said, “I’m tired.”

Then he went into the bedroom.

Wei Xin was furious.

It was midnight. Huo Xiaoran had been searching for Qiao An for a day but to no avail. He could only go home resentfully and wait for news.

He sat dejectedly on the living room sofa, not bothering to turn on the lights.

Perhaps it was because too much had happened during the day, but Qiao An couldn’t fall asleep tonight. There was the sound of shuffling footsteps downstairs. Qiao An guessed that Huo Xiaoran had returned. She ran barefoot downstairs excitedly.
