450 Flattering the Scumbag of a Father

“Now that Third Brother has soared, that mistress has become attentive to your third brother. Unfortunately, your third brother recognizes her true colors and ignores her. The two of them have been in a cold war recently. So, in my opinion, how can there be any true feelings for a woman who forced her way in? They’re all here for the money.” The Second Madam sighed.

Qiao An smiled and remained silent.

She was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the trivial matters of the third branch. She was only concerned about the reason for Li Tingfeng’s rise.

“Second Sister-in-law, what kind of business is Third Brother doing? He earned so much money and bought new furniture for the family and hired so many nannies.”

The Second Madam said, “Third Brother said that the money used at home is just a drop in the bucket. The business he’s in now is not an ordinary pharmaceutical industry. He changed his profession and started an overseas business.”

Qiao An was shocked.

With such a thick business, she could only think of drugs and firearms.

In an instant, a new plan brewed in her mind. She suddenly pulled Ze’en and said, “Ze’en, let’s go in and visit Old Master first.”

“Okay.”

After Ze’en and Qiao An bade farewell to the people in the lobby, they went to the corridor.

Qiao An lowered her voice and discussed with Ze’en. “Ze’en, did you hear that? Your father and stepmother are in a cold war. If you curry favor with your father more now, perhaps your father will be softened by you.”

Li Ze’en looked angry. “Aunt, I hate him. Whether he gets rich or falls, it has nothing to do with me.”

Qiao An said, “I just asked you to deliberately approach him. Only when he accepts you as his daughter again will he reveal some business matters to you. Don’t you want to know if your father did anything illegal? If he did, it would affect the political career of your descendants. You have to prevent him from making a big mistake.”

This was indeed Ze’en’s original intention of investigating Li Tingfeng.

“Okay. I’ll try,” Ze’en said.

Qiao An nodded.

When they arrived at Old Master Li’s ward and saw him, perhaps because he was in high spirits, Old Master Li’s mental state was clearly better than ever.

“Qiao An, Ze’en, you’re here? Come, sit down and talk to an old man like me.”

Qiao An and Li Ze’en sat on the simple sofa in front of the bed.

The old man chuckled. “Ze’en, have you seen your father?”

Li Ze’en nodded.

Old Master Li advised Ze’en earnestly, “Ze’en, I know your father was a little heartless to you in the past. You and your brother hate him. However, he seems to have changed now.”

Li Ze’en thought of how Li Tingfeng forced her mother to jump off a building and threw her paralyzed mother onto the streets. She gritted her teeth and said, “A leopard can’t change its spots. He’s bad deep down. He won’t change for the better.”

The old man said, “A few days ago, your stepmother clamored to live separately from him. She despised him for not being able to earn money and for not being able to protect her. Your father was very shocked. He had always been raised in a honey pot. The first time he was criticized like this, he should be very sad. Therefore, he ran out angrily. I didn’t expect things to turn out well for him and he made another big deal.”

Qiao An found it abnormally mysterious. “Why do such good things happen to Third Brother again and again? Don’t you think it’s strange, Dad?”

Old Master Li said, “Originally, I also found it strange, but I asked someone to read your third brother’s fortune. Guess what? That person said that your third brother is lucky this year and will be lucky for three years. Whether he gets rich or not, I actually won’t force it. I just saw that he seems to be very regretful recently. He came to my room several times to chat with me, and his words revealed his regret for his wife. It’s really rare for him to change.”

Qiao An glanced at Ze’en meaningfully. “Ze’en, if your father is sincerely repentant, accept him. After all, he’s your father.”

Ze’en nodded.

Seeing this, the old man was even more overjoyed. “Good, good, good. If the Li family can be harmonious and united, I will die without regrets.”

Qiao An felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She was afraid that Li Tingfeng’s luck would bring disaster to the Li family. Under this superficial harmony was just an illusion.

After coming out of Old Master’s room, Ze’en slowly came to Li Tingfeng.

When Li Tingfeng saw Ze’en, his expression darkened, but he remained silent.

It was her stepmother who broke the stagnant atmosphere. “Li Ze’en, could it be that you saw that your father had become rich and wanted to go home to acknowledge your roots?”

Li Ze’en mocked her in return, “I heard that you were indifferent to my father some time ago. You weren’t even willing to take care of him when he was sick. Isn’t it because he became rich that you changed your mind and continued to stay by his side?”

Her stepmother’s expression was ugly. “I was in a bad mood and said those words in a fit of anger. Which couple doesn’t quarrel?”

Li Ze’en looked at Li Tingfeng and deliberately flattered him. “I advise you to keep your eyes open. Don’t get old and lose everything.”

Li Tingfeng stubbed out the cigarette between his fingers and asked Li Ze’en, “Did you look for me just to tell me this?”

Li Ze’en said, “Although we’re no longer related, we were father and daughter once. I hope you have someone to rely on.”

Her face was cold and her voice distant, but her words revealed her concern for him.

Li Tingfeng was worried that his children were not close to him. Since Li Ze’en was willing to take the initiative to express her goodwill, he readily accepted her.

“Ze’en, if you have any difficulties in your life, tell Dad. We’re father and daughter. There’s no overnight grudge.” Li Tingfeng continued, “Pull my contact back so that Dad can transfer the money to you.”

Her stepmother immediately jumped up. “Tingfeng, why should you transfer money to her?”

Li Ze’en was slightly stunned. She had taken the initiative to express her goodwill to Li Tingfeng against her will, making her feel especially uncomfortable. However, seeing that this could anger her stepmother, she suddenly felt that she had to persevere even if she was disgusted by herself.

Li Tingfeng was not as subservient to his new wife as before.

“I can use my money however I want. It’s none of your business,” he said angrily.

Her stepmother immediately cried. “Hubby, I know I was a little cold to you a few days ago and hurt you, but you have to put yourself in my shoes. I’ve suffered so much. Can’t I vent my anger? I promise that I’ll control my emotions in the future and not fool around with you.”

Li Tingfeng no longer believed her words as firmly as before. He said tiredly, “Go in. I’ll talk to Ze’en.”

The woman left resentfully.
