386 Repaying Evil with Kindness

Li Tingfeng’s limelight was instantly suppressed by Huo Xiaoran, and his old face turned from red to green.

Huo Xiaoran elegantly put down his bowl and chopsticks and glanced at the sea cucumber and abalone on the table. He said faintly, “Even if you’re rich, you shouldn’t spend so much money. You look like a nouveau riche.”

Li Tingfeng’s face looked like it had been slapped hard.

“Xiaoran, I know you’re good at earning money. You don’t have to drag your third brother’s name like this, right?” Li Tingfeng said indignantly.

Huo Xiaoran glanced at him and reminded him, “Third Brother, you abandoned your wife after getting rich. Your fortune has already been squandered by you.”

Li Tingfeng blushed in anger. “Fourth Brother, how can you say that?”

Huo Xiaoran could not be bothered with him.

Huo Xiaoran waved at the children beside him. “Babies, come here.”

The three babies ran over. Huo Xiaoran turned into a doting father and said gently, “Accompany Daddy to see your grandfather.”

“Yeah.”

The children answered readily.

Huo Xiaoran brought the children to Old Master Li’s room. Old Master Li had clearly just come out of the hospital not long ago, but he looked extremely old now.

His gray hair had all turned white, and his face was thinner with sunken cheeks. He looked more than ten years older.

When Huo Xiaoran entered, his eyes slowly rolled. He was so weak that he seemed unwilling to breathe.

Until the children called him softly, “Grandpa.”

Only then did Old Master Li’s eyes recover a trace of light. He rolled his eyes clumsily and stretched out his hand shakily when he saw the children.

“Xiaoran, are they all your children?”

Huo Xiaoran was stunned. He glanced at Joey but still nodded firmly.

“Qiao An is so good to you. You have to thank her for giving birth to these children for you under such difficult conditions.” Old Master Li was not stupid.

“I’ll be good to An’an for the rest of my life,” Huo Xiaoran said firmly.

“You’re like your mother. You’re loyal to your feelings until death. You treat money like dirt.” Old Master Li sighed.

Huo Xiaoran was slightly stunned.

He was extremely curious. What kind of man made his young, beautiful, and arrogant mother abandon the glorious life of the Huo family’s daughter and get pregnant for him before marriage?

“Xiaoran, you saw it. The Li family’s current situation is really heartbreaking.” Tears flowed from the corners of Old Master Li’s dry eyes.

“If I had known that the Li family would eventually fall apart, why would I have worked my entire life?”

Old Master Li looked at the white ceiling. “Ping’er, do you regret our deal? That deal made you lose your life, and it didn’t protect our Li family’s huge family business. I regret it. Ping’er, I regret it.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at the old man who was in so much pain that his heart ached.

“Dad.”

The old man looked at him in a daze. “You… are finally willing to call me Dad?”

Huo Xiaoran’s eyes were red. “You’re the father my mother gave me. I think I have no reason to reject her gift.”

Old Master Li suddenly grabbed Huo Xiaoran’s hand tightly. “Xiaoran, I’m begging you to save this shattered family. They’re all grown up now and don’t listen to me anymore. My heart hurts as I watch them walk into the abyss of degeneration.”

“If I had known this would happen, I would have jumped off a building and gotten it over with.”

Huo Xiaoran comforted, “Don’t be too sad and tired. This won’t be good for your recovery. I promise you that I’ll help you revive the Li family.”

Old Master Li looked at Xiao Ran in disbelief. Then he smiled in relief.

“You’re too kind. Xiaoran, I’ve thought it through. Fame and fortune are just fleeting. I only hope that the Li family can get along harmoniously.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Then live well. I’ll give you a peaceful home to repay the bet on your fate with my mother.”

With that, Huo Xiaoran left with the children.

The old man was stunned on the spot and was suddenly so excited that tears flickered in his eyes. “Butler, what did Xiaoran say just now?”

The butler said excitedly, “Fourth Young Master said that you have to live well. He’ll return you a peaceful home.”

A smile bloomed on Old Master Li’s thin face.

“He must have meant what he said.”

When Huo Xiaoran left the Li family’s villa with his children and wife, they saw Third Madam lying by the street. Her hair was messy and her clothes were dirty, like a beggar.

Qiao An complained angrily to Huo Xiaoran, “Your third brother is really inhumane. Even if Third Madam is in the wrong, she’s still the mother of his two children.”

Then, Qiao An thought of something even more terrifying. “As the saying goes, with a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. I’m afraid Third Brother has an ulterior motive for sending Li Zecheng and Li Ze’en away.”

A sharp glint flashed across Huo Xiaoran’s eyes.

He picked up the phone and said to his assistant, “Find out where Li Zecheng and Li Ze’en are immediately.”

At this moment, Qiao An saw a cowering figure not far away. Who else could it be but Wei Xin?

“Wei Xin.”

Wei Xin walked out trembling. She took out a few cold steamed buns and handed them to Third Madam. “They’re watching closely. Eat.” Her voice was cold.

Then, Wei Xin walked up to Qiao An and laughed at herself.

“Qiao An. Are you happy to see how miserable we are now?”

“The pain I once inflicted on you has been repaid by the heavens tenfold or a hundredfold,” Wei Xin said tearfully.

Qiao An looked at her. At some point, the domineering aura around Wei Xin had faded.

It was her hard life that had honed her.

“Wei Xin, you’ve brought me a lot of pain. Actually, the heavens have long helped me take revenge on you. When you were with Li Zecheng, Grandpa never acknowledged your identity. Mother-in-law was also mean to you. You must not have had many peaceful days. My hatred has long disappeared.”

She took out a card from her wallet and handed it to Wei Xin. “There’s not much money, but it’s enough for you to rent a house outside and live a peaceful life.”

Wei Xin shook her head in embarrassment.

Qiao An stuffed it into her hand. “Don’t misunderstand. I’m not pitying you. I’m just pitying these two children. They’re so innocent. They shouldn’t be implicated in grudges of the adults.”

Wei Xin looked at her children. The drastic change in their families had made them lose their innocence.

Wei Xin was a mother. Motherly love would urge her to put her dignity at the bottom of her feet.

“Thank you, Qiao An. I didn’t think you were the only one willing to help us at this time.”

Qiao An said, “Wei Xin, we’re both women. Let me give you another piece of advice: Treat your mother-in-law well. You’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel.”

Qiao An turned to leave.

After getting into the car, Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An in confusion. “When you were in the Li family, you didn’t help Third Sister-in-law because you wanted to give Wei Xin a chance, right?”

Qiao An said, “I hope Third Madam can treat her daughter-in-law well and sincerely repent.”

Huo Xiaoran pinched her nose. “Smart girl.”
