The call was soon connected, and a flippant voice came from the other end, "Wife, calling me so soon? Have you thought it through and want to remarry me? As long as you remarry me, I promise to cherish you and Yaoyao, and not let you and your daughter suffer any grievances."
Hearing this made Xu Muqing feel disgusted. If it weren't for the need to trick him out, she wouldn't have wasted a single word on him. Suppressing the urge to vomit, she said coldly, "We are divorced. Please mind your words. I'm calling you to invite you to my place so we can discuss how to resolve this matter properly."
"Invite me to your place?" Qiao Zihao's eyes lit up with wicked intentions. Before Xu Muqing could speak, he added, "I know, we've been divorced for almost two years. You must be lonely and have certain needs. It's normal. Don't worry, I'll satisfy you and make sure you can't leave me!"
"Can Qiao Zihao stop with your filthy thoughts? I genuinely want to resolve the grievances between us!" Xu Muqing trembled with anger, her face turning red. She had deliberately put the call on speaker so Liu Yifeng could hear clearly. She never expected Qiao Zihao to say such shameless things in broad daylight. She was so embarrassed she could dig a hole in the ground with her toes.
Liu Yifeng wasn't watching for amusement. He just felt this man was not a man at all. Even for his own daughter's sake, he shouldn't speak so flippantly to the child's mother. It showed no respect.
Qiao Zihao showed no signs of restraint. "You don't need to explain. I know you're shy. I'll head to your place now. Remember to clean yourself up." With that, he immediately hung up.
Xu Muqing looked at Liu Yifeng somewhat awkwardly. "I'm not like that. He twisted my words."
"I know. You should stay away from people like your ex-husband. Divorcing him was the right choice. Leave this to me. When I meet him later, I'll make him apologize to you and admit his mistakes," Liu Yifeng said.
"Then you can take my car and we'll go together. After this is resolved, I'll drive you back. It will be a good time to pick up Yaoyao."
About half an hour later, Xu Muqing's car drove into the residential compound. Although she didn't live in a villa, it was a high-end complex, and a unit there cost over two million. She bought this house herself after starting her business. She had no idea how Qiao Zihao found out she lived here.
As soon as they arrived home, before Liu Yifeng could even have a sip of tea, the doorbell rang. "It must be Qiao Zihao," Xu Muqing said, walking to the door. After checking through the peephole and confirming it was Qiao Zihao, she opened the door.
"Wife, I'm here!" Qiao Zihao didn't see Liu Yifeng sitting in the living room and tried to hug Xu Muqing, but she dodged him. Off balance, he nearly fell, stumbling into the room. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Liu Yifeng and froze. He thought Xu Muqing wanted to rekindle their old flames, but suddenly a man appeared, and he recognized this man from the hospital encounter last time. It seemed these two were indeed involved. Thinking this, he immediately put on an arrogant air. "Oh, isn't this your lover? Why did you have him witness our reunion?"
"When did I say I wanted to reconcile with you?" Xu Muqing sat down next to Liu Yifeng, making her stance clear.
Qiao Zihao wasn't stupid. He realized Xu Muqing inviting him over wasn't about reconciliation. He immediately sat opposite them, propped his legs on the coffee table, and spread his arms on the sofa edge, acting like the owner of the house. "Speak, what do you want me here for?"
Xu Muqing wasted no more words. "We are divorced. I hope you will stop harassing us, my mother and daughter."
To her surprise, Qiao Zihao couldn't help but laugh. "I'm harassing you and your daughter? Don't forget, I am Yaoyao's biological father. I have the right to visit. How is that harassment?"
"You are her father, that's true. But in the two years since our divorce, have you ever fulfilled your responsibility as a father? Now that you're divorced and have nothing, you come crawling back to claim your daughter? Have you no shame?" Xu Muqing felt helpless at his brazen behavior.
"You said I'm shameless, so why would I need any shame? Tell me, what do you want me here for?"
Before Xu Muqing could speak, Liu Yifeng's voice rang out, "Qiao Zihao, if you continue to harass Xu Muqing and her daughter, you'll be using a crutch. I won't be polite with you!"
