“Okay,” Huo Xiaoran said.

Because Qiao An was in a bad mood, Huo Xiaoran couldn’t bear to rub salt on her scars, so he stopped asking about other secrets.

However, Qiao An’s breakdown made him crazily curious about the reason why Qiao An had married Li Zecheng back then. After all, in his eyes, Qiao An had always been a bright, cheerful, strong, and independent girl. Something that could make her collapse like this was definitely not simple.

After hanging up, Huo Xiaoran’s expression was abnormally gloomy.

He immediately sent a message to Li Zecheng. “Where are you?”

Now that Huo Xiaoran was the most powerful person in the capital, Li Zecheng no longer dared to discriminate against him like before. He was trying his best to curry favor with Huo Xiaoran, so Huo Xiaoran’s message was naturally replied to instantly. “Where else can I go? The Star Palace has been compensated to Qiao An and the company has been destroyed by you. Other than staying in the Li family’s villa, where else can I go?” Li Zecheng acted pitiful.

For the first time, Huo Xiaoran felt the thrill of revenge. “I’ll be right there.”

Then, Huo Xiaoran bade farewell to Huo Zhou and Xiao Yue. “I’ll go back to the Li family.”

Huo Zhou quickly stopped him. “Xiaoran, are you going back like this?”

Huo Xiaoran stopped. “Otherwise, do we have to prepare gifts for them? Are they worthy?”

Huo Zhou said, “That’s not what I meant. Xiaoran, in the past three years, you’ve made the Li family quite miserable. In the past, which one of your brothers didn’t strut around? But now, they’re like dogs who have lost their homes every day and are begging for help. They’re trying to save that precarious pharmaceutical group. Once you return, I’m afraid they’ll embarrass you.”

Huo Xiaoran said disapprovingly, “They’ve embarrassed me my entire life. Why would I be afraid this time?”

Huo Zhou’s heart ached for him. “I’ll go with you.”

Huo Xiaoran pondered for a moment. He didn’t like to drive, nor did he like to live with unfamiliar drivers. He said, “Then let’s go.”

Not long after, Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou arrived at the Li family’s villa.

This was also the first time Huo Xiaoran took the initiative to return to the Li family after three years.

When the Li family’s butler saw him, he was simply overjoyed. He quickly ran back to the hall and reported the good news to Old Master Li. “Master, Young Master Xiaoran is back. He even brought Young Master Huo back with him.”

Madam was a woman with a simple mind. She was overjoyed. “Is he back to talk about a project collaboration?”

The Second Madam echoed, “Fourth Brother’s anger has finally dissipated. No matter what, we’re still family. He should be back to help the Li family revive our family business.”

While they were chatting, Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou had already strode in.

Old Master Li hated Huo Xiaoran for destroying the Li family’s company. He asked coldly, “You unfilial son, you still have the cheek to come back?”

Huo Xiaoran glanced over like a hawk. “Old Master, can you have some magnanimity? Back then, you were the ones who attacked my Angel Group first. I was just giving you a taste of your own medicine. Now that the Li family’s pharmaceutical group is about to collapse, how can you blame me? It is clear who was competing illegally and has evil intentions.”

Master Li was furious. He straightened his walking stick and pointed at Huo Xiaoran. He said angrily, “You came back purely to anger me, right?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “You’re overthinking again. I didn’t come back because of you. I’m here to look for Li Zecheng.”

Master Li was speechless.

When he saw Huo Xiaoran return home, he thought that Huo Xiaoran had finally found his conscience and was finally willing to acknowledge him as his father. Who knew that he didn’t come back for him at all? The old man was more or less a little disappointed.

“Hmph.” In the end, Old Master Li could only snort angrily.

When Third Madam heard that Huo Xiaoran had specially returned home to look for her son, she thought that Huo Xiaoran wanted to help his nephew because Li Zecheng had fawned over him in the past few years. She said happily, “I’ll go in and call him now.”

Before he could finish speaking, Li Zecheng and Wei Xin carried a child to the lobby.

When Li Zecheng saw Huo Xiaoran, he was quite respectful. “Uncle, are you looking for me?”

Huo Xiaoran nodded coldly.

Li Zecheng walked up to him and pulled a chair to sit in front of Huo Xiaoran. He looked at Huo Xiaoran like a pug.

“Uncle, you said that you had something to tell me. Logically speaking, I should be the one running to your place instead of troubling a busy person like you to come here. I feel quite apologetic.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Li Zecheng. His handsome and warm eyes seemed to be snowing heavily, causing the surrounding temperature to drop significantly.

“Li Zecheng…” he said. His voice sounded like it came from an ancient well in hell, like a vengeful spirit asking for his life.

At this moment, everyone present realized that they had come with ill intentions. The bright smile on Third Madam’s face froze, and her palms broke out in cold sweat.

Li Zecheng was even more confused. He looked at Huo Xiaoran in a daze. “Uncle, why are you here?”

Huo Xiaoran said sinisterly, “Think about it carefully. Have you done anything to let me down?”

Li Zecheng’s face turned pale when he heard this. He trembled as if he had been stung by a wasp. The fear in his eyes flashed, but Huo Xiaoran still saw it.

“Li Zecheng.” He almost gritted his teeth. “Why did Qiao An marry you back then? You have to explain everything to me today.”

Huo Xiaoran came for Qiao An. This was the nightmare in Third Madam and Wei Xin’s hearts.

Because of Qiao An, Li Zecheng’s reputation was ruined, and he lost his respectable identity and job. Because of Qiao An, Li Zecheng lost a large sum of assets when he got divorced. They had been especially strapped for cash these past few years.

So when Qiao An was mentioned, Third Madam’s chest burned.

“Fourth Brother, Qiao An and Zecheng have been divorced for three years. After he and Wei Xin got married, they had two children. Is it appropriate for you to mention Qiao An to him now?” Third Madam said angrily.

Huo Xiaoran’s sinister gaze shot towards Third Madam like a flying knife. Third Madam immediately felt a chill run down her spine and trembled in fear, not daring to make a sound.

Huo Xiaoran said faintly, “You know that I’ve always held a grudge. No one can live their life with a smile after doing something wrong to me. Li Zecheng, you’d better confess what happened back then sincerely. If you intend to hide it, I’ll make you wish you were dead.”

Li Zecheng hesitated for a moment and straightened his neck. “Uncle, did Qiao An tell you something?” He wanted to test how much he knew.

Huo Xiaoran looked at him steadily.

Li Zecheng felt his hair stand on end under his sharp gaze.

“Uncle, why didn’t Qiao An tell you herself?” Li Zecheng trembled.

“Because the mention of it makes her emotional.”

When Li Zecheng heard this, his eyes were filled with guilt.
