Collapse of the Li Family
Shock, humiliation, and anger appeared on the faces of the Li family members. Huo Xiaoran sat calmly on the sofa and looked at the Li family calmly.
“I’ve already bought the villa. When are you moving out?” Huo Xiaoran’s voice was light and lazy.
His casualness accentuated the Li family’s panic and fear.
“Huo Xiaoran, we’re family after all. How can you deal with us?” Li Tingye flew into a rage out of humiliation.
Huo Xiaoran looked at him disdainfully. “A family? Now you’re telling me about a family? Hmph, since ancient times, the winner has always been the king. If I had lost, I don’t think you’ll treat me as a family.”
Li Tingye’s face darkened and he was very ashamed.
“Xiaoran, no matter how much we have a grudge, we were once brothers. You’re so ruthless to the Li family. Aren’t you afraid of others gossiping about you?”
Huo Xiaoran said proudly, “Who in the entire capital doesn’t applaud the Li family’s defeat? If I show you mercy, I’m afraid they’ll say that I’m soft-hearted. Li Tingye, don’t try to get close to me. Think about the cause of my mother’s death, think about your father’s greed, and think about how you hit me when I was down. You should know that your end has come.”
Huo Xiaoran’s patience ran out. “Cut the crap. I advise you to move out as soon as possible. I’m here to inform you that my construction team is going to enter tomorrow. This Li family villa will be demolished and rebuilt soon.”
When the Li family heard this bad news, they were stunned.
Actually, when they lost the Li family’s villa, they always felt that they could take it back one day.
But now, Huo Xiaoran was so determined that he actually wanted to tear down the family villa. This made their family lose its foundation, and the Li family immediately became rootless duckweed. That illusory feeling came again.
“Xiaoran, you can’t demolish the Li family’s villa,” Li Tingye and Li Tinglei said almost in unison.
Huo Xiaoran smiled at them sarcastically.
“Why should I?”
Li Tinglei said, “Xiaoran, you stayed in the villa for a while when you were young. Don’t you have any feelings for the villa?”
“Let me think. I can’t remember anything happy about the time I was at the villa. Just the tragic state of my mother’s death.”
Li Tingye and Li Tinglei lowered their heads in shame.
Huo Xiaoran fiddled with his slender fingers and said indifferently, “This was heaven for you, but was a nightmare for me. Now, I want to completely end this nightmare. I want to raze the Li family’s villa to the ground and build a magnificent welfare institute again. I want all the children who have lost their families to receive the protection of their homes. Do you think this is a meritorious thing?”
The Li family really did not expect Huo Xiaoran to do such a huge thing when he was cruel to them. In this way, the world would only praise him. Who would remember his cruelty to his adoptive father’s family?
Li Zecheng couldn’t help but exclaim, “Huo Xiaoran, you’re indeed good.”
Huo Xiaoran stood up and sneered at Li Zecheng. He bragged, “My wife gave me this idea.”
Li Zecheng was very surprised. Qiao An’s balance was impeccable.
She was so smart, but he didn’t retain her. Instead, he turned her into his enemy.
Huo Xiaoran smiled and left the Li family villa.
Li Tingye looked at the towering Li family villa. At the thought that it would become ruins tomorrow, his heart ached.
The next day, the roar of the project starting woke everyone in the Li family up. They walked out of the house in surprise. Seeing that the door of the Li family’s villa had been razed to the ground, they finally realized that Huo Xiaoran was definitely not joking with him.
Li Tingye’s eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground.
Li Zecheng was like a stray dog as he was forcefully dragged out of the Li family villa by his mother, Huang Yushu, and sister.
A few days later, Li Tingye woke up.
He found himself lying in a small house. The huge psychological difference made him whimper and roar.
When he spoke, he realized that his words were slurred.
First Madam sat in front of him and looked at him quietly. “Don’t be agitated. The doctor said that you were so angry that you had a stroke. Originally, this illness could have been treated in time. It’s just that I kept thinking about what good it would do to cure you. You have a bad temper and can’t earn money. Treating you will only torture me. Why don’t you lie down and wait for death like now? I don’t think you will have any objections if I change my son’s name.”
Li Tingye was furious at being despised by his wife, but he did not even have the strength to be angry.
In the end, only tears of regret flowed down his face.
From then on, he lived the rest of his life with the memories of his past life.
Li Tinglei, brought Madam and the child away from the capital in despair to seek refuge with distant friends.
Li Zecheng drank all day. On the day Wei Xin came to take the child away, Wei Xin only saw a young man with white hair and a haggard appearance. He was lying on the ground and drinking.
Wei Xin looked at him and shook her head helplessly.
It was unknown if he could understand her, but she left a sentence. “Li Zecheng, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? You let Qiao An and me down. I think this is your retribution. A heartless person like you deserves to be left alone.”
After Wei Xin left, tears streamed down Li Zecheng’s face.
Huang Yushu gave up her twilight love and bade farewell to her newlywed husband. Although she was extremely reluctant, the other party’s children had already shown their resistance to her. They did not allow the old man to meet her. Huang Yushu knew that people sought benefits and avoided harm. They were also afraid that the Li family would implicate them, so they broke up the couple.
Li Ze’en pushed her mother and prepared to leave the capital with Li Zecheng.
However, Li Zecheng suddenly disappeared.
Li Ze’en cried anxiously. “Mom, so what if he’s indignant? He’s already in a hopeless situation.”
Huang Yushu was worried that Li Zecheng would find trouble with Huo Xiaoran. As expected, a few days later, someone called them and said that Li Zecheng had intended to assassinate Huo Xiaoran. Although he had failed, his crime was serious and he was sent to jail.
Huang Yushu and Li Ze’en hugged each other and cried.
The Li family’s illness dissipated.
On the other hand, in the Heavenly Imperial Garden, Huo Xiaoran spent all his money building a welfare institute and working hard for charity, receiving widespread praise.
