Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

Chapter 596 - 596 At Death’s Door

596 At Death’s Door

When the old man heard this, he was suddenly so shocked that half of his body was propped up. Then, he fell heavily onto the bed, leaving only a pair of indignant eyes that glared at the ceiling.

“I was wrong. Xiaoran, I was wrong. Forgive me.” His shrill cry was mixed with a sleepy apology.

Li Zecheng said, “Grandpa, don’t expect Huo Xiaoran to help you reduce the pain. Go to the hospital.”

“No, Xiaoran is the best doctor. He can definitely save me. I know my body. I’m not terminally ill. The doctors can’t save me because they’re not skilled. They told me to wait for death. I don’t want to. Go and call Xiaoran over. It won’t hurt so much if he comes.”

Li Zecheng felt helpless as he listened to the old man’s nonsense. He did not know how to help his grandfather resolve his inner demons.

“Grandpa, you’ve never treated Huo Xiaoran well in your life. Ever since you gave me the Soaring Cloud Group, he broke off ties with the Li family.” Li Zecheng tried to make his grandfather regain his rationality.

The old man seemed to remember. “Souring Cloud? Xinping left that for Xiaoran. Did I give it to you? Yes, Xiaoran was unhappy because I touched the gift his mother gave him. He has always cherished his mother. This time, he’s angry. He called me selfish. Yes, I’ve been exploiting Xiaoran and his assets for the Li family. I… I deserve it.”

Li Zecheng looked at the old man and frowned in pain. His thin face looked like a ghost, especially terrifying.

At that moment, he suddenly retreated. The old man’s expression was too terrifying. He was like a person who had been possessed by a demon. His face looked too terrifying; it was twisted and ferocious like an animal.

“Xiaoran, I was wrong. Forgive me, okay? Dad feels so uncomfortable. Can you treat me? You said that you would take care of me when I’m old. Why didn’t you keep your word?”

Li Zecheng looked at the old man’s eyes, which was as terrifying as a sharp deer.

Li Zecheng thought to himself, “Grandpa, I’ll call Uncle. I’ll see him immediately. Don’t be agitated.”

Li Zecheng ran out and breathed heavily.

Li Tingye and the others looked suspicious when they saw Li Zecheng.

“Zecheng, what’s wrong?”

Li Zecheng pointed at his grandfather’s bedroom. “Grandpa, he…”

Li Tingye and the others’ hearts skipped a beat. They all thought that the old man had ascended to heaven. They quickly ran in and cried out in fear.

“Ahhh.”

Li Ze’en ran out crying.

“Is that Grandpa? How did he become so terrifying?”

Huang Yushu calmed herself down, but her face was still as white as paper. “Your grandfather has done too many bad things in his life and has been punished by the heavens. I’m afraid he can only be reincarnated as a beast in his next life.”

The others looked at Huang Yushu in shock.

Huang Yushu looked at Li Zecheng in fear. “Zecheng, stop. Don’t chase after something that doesn’t belong to you like what Grandpa did. In the end, you won’t be able to rest in peace.”

Li Zecheng fell into a chair.

Li Tingye couldn’t care less. He roared at Li Zecheng, “Call your uncle and ask him to come back quickly.”

Everyone looked at him blankly.

Li Zecheng said, “It’s not like you don’t know that he hates the Li family to death. If you ask him to come back now, he will only gloat.”

Li Tingye said, “No, he’s the kindest person in this family. He won’t leave him in the lurch. He’s also a doctor.”

Li Zecheng said, “I won’t call.”

Li Ze’en said, “I’ll call.”

Li Ze’en quickly called Huo Xiaoran. After the call went through, Li Ze’en cried in panic.

“Uncle, something happen to Grandpa! Come back quickly.”

Huo Xiaoran’s lazy and indifferent voice came from the other end. “Is he dead?”

Li Ze’en was slightly stunned. Huo Xiaoran’s reaction made her very uneasy.

“Uncle, Grandpa isn’t dead yet. But he’s become very scary now. Come back and take a look. He doesn’t look human at all.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “He’s never done anything humane in his life. He brought this on himself.”

“Uncle, Grandpa wants to see you. He wants you to take care of him…”

“He’s dreaming.” Huo Xiaoran sneered.

Li Ze’en said, “Uncle, I know you hate him, but he’s really in pain now. It’s like a sharp-mouthed beast is leaning over him. It’s too scary, too scary. Uncle, you’re a doctor. Only you can save him now. Please, come back and see him.”

Li Ze’en trembled and her voice was blurry.

Huo Xiaoran was inexplicably interested in Old Master Li’s condition. “He received his retribution. This kind of thing is caused by his inner demons. A doctor can’t reverse the situation.”

“Uncle, Grandpa is really in pain. Take pity on him…”

“Li Ze’en, don’t call me Uncle.” Huo Xiaoran said firmly, “Your grandfather has never treated me as a child of the Li family. From the beginning to the end, he forced me to stay with the Li family because it was convenient for him to occupy the gift my mother left for me. Therefore, I have no relationship with the Li family, only hatred.”

Li Ze’en swallowed. It was as if she had never known such a decisive and heartless Huo Xiaoran.

“Uncle… I don’t care what hatred you have for them, but in my heart, I’ve always treated you as my uncle.”

“Li Ze’en, put away your despicable act of acting pitiful to gain sympathy. Your brother used such a shameless trick to make me trust him. In the end, he was ungrateful and acted out a story of a farmer and a snake.”

“Don’t contact me again.”

Beep beep beep…

Li Ze’en looked at the phone that had been hung up, and her beautiful face turned ashen.

Huo Xiaoran finally became a stranger. This was something Li Ze’en did not want to see.

Ever since she was young, Huo Xiaoran had been her idol. Her father had an affair, and she was ignored by her father. She had fallen, but every time she wanted to destroy herself, she would have the motivation to persist when she saw Huo Xiaoran living alone.

Such an outstanding person finally did not fit in with the Li family and parted ways with them. It was actually something she had expected. However, Li Ze’en felt extremely regretful, as if a piece of her heart was missing.

Li Ze’en looked at Li Zecheng and the others and said sadly, “Congratulations on successfully chasing Huo Xiaoran out of this family. However, without Huo Xiaoran, do you really think the Li family will be better than before?”

Li Tingye and the others did not speak. In fact, they vaguely felt that after offending Huo Xiaoran, all kinds of evil consequences had begun to backfire on the Li family.

...

But there was no turning back now.

Because Huo Xiaoran would never give them a chance again.
