597 Because of Love, I Will Do Anything
Huo Xiaoran sat in the car and held his phone tightly as he stared at the phone screen gloomily.
Qiao An looked at him quietly. Seeing his involuntary frown, Qiao An knew that he was suffering.
Qiao An reached out and held his hand tightly. “Brother Xiaoran, if you want to see him, go see him.”
Huo Xiaoran protested excitedly, “Every time I’m kind to him, I’ll be used by his selfishness. At that time, I’ll be even angrier and more disappointed. An’an, I don’t want to see him anymore.”
!!
Qiao An was silent for a moment. “Your concerns are right. But you still can’t be heartless enough to give up on him. Why don’t I make this trip for you and help you find out more about him?”
Huo Xiaoran tightened his grip on Qiao An’s hand. “Aren’t you pregnant? You should avoid such a terrible thing.”
Qiao An said playfully, “How is this a bad thing? I see that the Li family has come this far. All of them are like street rats at a dead end. I feel inexplicably happy. It’s as if all the injustice they did to me all those years has finally been avenged.”
Seeing her happy smile, Huo Xiaoran said, “In that case, go if you want. As long as you’re happy. However, when you go, I’ll assign you two bodyguards.”
Qiao An nodded. “Okay.”
Qiao An returned to the Li family, which stunned them.
Li Zecheng looked at Qiao An in a daze and called out, “An’an.”
Qiao An walked in happily and said, “Brother Xiaoran can’t come. I’ll do it for him.”
Li Ze’en walked up to Qiao An and said warmly, “Sister An’an, I’ll take you to see Grandpa.”
Li Ze’en brought Qiao An to the old man’s bedroom and pushed open the bedroom door. Li Ze’en mustered her courage and pushed open the door.
Qiao An saw a dark shadow lying on the ground; his long tongue was out, and his entire face shapeshifting in all kinds of strange movements.
Qiao An was shocked. “What happened to him?”
Li Ze’en said, “I don’t know. After you left the Li family, he became like this.”
Qiao An approached the old man and called out to him, “Master Li?”
The old man opened his eyes and looked at her.
Qiao An said faintly, “I don’t care if you’re really confused or pretending to be. I’ll end all my grudges with you today.”
“Old Master Li, your Li family was on the verge of bankruptcy decades ago on the night you met my Mother Xinping. It was my mother who saved the Li family. But not only were you not grateful to her, but you also ostracized her. You let your wife and children hurt her and her child.”
“Old Master Li, do you dare to swear to the heavens that Mother Xinping’s death really has nothing to do with you? I’m afraid you also tacitly agreed to Mrs. Li torturing my mother, right?”
“After Mother Xinping died, Brother Xiaoran was still young. Xinping’s mother entrusted the business roadmap she had built for Brother Xiaoran to you to supervise. She must not have given it to you, right? But you became greedy and took those business assets for yourself bit by bit. You bullied Xiaoran for being young. Is your conscience really as upright and selfless as the your persona of the good person?”
“Brother Xiaoran has finally recognized your true colors now. He’s very disappointed in you. Actually, as a doctor, his heart almost softened. He wanted to save you, but his rationality finally took over and he won’t come. In this life, he won’t see you. If you die, he definitely won’t wear mourning clothes for you. Your fatherly relationship was already over when you exploited Xinping’s mother’s last gift to Brother Xiaoran.”
“Old Master Li, you’re using your condition of being on the verge of death to gain Xiaoran’s sympathy. This move is really brilliant. Unfortunately, I saw through your scheme. Therefore, I’ll do it for him.”
After Qiao An finished speaking, a hint of shame flashed across Old Master Li’s eyes, but it was fleeting.
Qiao An stood up again and sneered. “You’re so pitiful. You’ve been mediocre all your life and relied on tricks to take advantage of others. You can’t die with dignity even in death, and you still have to pretend to be pitiful and scheme for your unfilial descendants.”
“Let me tell you, the Huo family and the Li family have broken up. This is an irrevocable fact. If you want to turn the situation around, you’re dreaming. Even if Brother Xiaoran wants to let you live, the Huo family is unwilling.”
After Qiao An finished speaking, she looked at Old Master Li sadly. “What else do you have to say?”
Old Master Li slowly raised his head. At that moment, his hair was as white as silver and his wrinkles were dense. He was old and haggard.
“Qiao An, are you sure that Huo Xiaoran can defeat Li Zecheng?”
Qiao An laughed loudly and said, “You still have dreams? Even Miss Rong Rong, who loves Li Zecheng the most, gave up on him helplessly. Do you think the other business partners are all blind? Let me tell you, Li Zecheng will soon lose his reputation. Those business partners have long returned to Xiaoran’s side. Also, the Soaring Cloud Group has long been cleaned up by Xiaoran. Your Li family’s lackeys are no longer in the Soaring Cloud Group. The Soaring Cloud Group that Li Zecheng took over is just a debt-laden Soaring Cloud Group!”
Old Master Li fell to the ground, his thin body curled up on the ground and trembled.
Seeing this, Qiao An suddenly shut up.
She said to Li Ze’en, “Send him to the hospital.”
She turned around and left.
At the door, Li Zecheng suddenly grabbed her hand with a sad expression and almost begged, “An’an, I have something to tell you.”
Qiao An looked at him coldly. “I don’t want to see you, just like Xiaoran doesn’t want to see Old Master Li.”
Li Zecheng’s eyes turned red. “An’an, I know I broke your heart, but I have to tell you that Huo Xiaoran might not be my match. If I win, I won’t hurt you. I only beg you to give me another chance…”
Qiao An looked at him in disbelief. “Li Zecheng, you’re crazy. Let me tell you, Xiaoran and I are bound together. His end is my end. However, we can’t lose.”
With that, she shook Li Zecheng off angrily.
Li Zecheng said, “Qiao An, I really love you.”
Qiao An stopped abruptly and looked back. “Your love is poisonous. Forgive me for not being able to bear it.”
Li Zecheng said, “Qiao An, do you believe me? If I didn’t love you, perhaps I would never have taken the wrong path.”
Qiao An was speechless.
Li Zecheng continued, “When I saw your photo on Xiaoran’s computer that day, I was attracted by your bright smile. From then on, I was intoxicated. It’s just that later on, I felt extremely guilty when I got you. So I relied on an affair to numb myself…”
Qiao An was speechless.
