Chapter 619 - 619 Old Master Li’s Death
619 Old Master Li’s Death
The butler continued, “Master, the Li family has already been banned by the capital. The Li family’s abuse and exploitation of their adopted son are now in an uproar. Now, Huo Xiaoran is a popular person in the capital. His mother is the daughter of the Huo family, his biological father is the favorite son of the Old Master of the Lu Group, and Qiao An is the adopted granddaughter of the Xiao family. Who in the capital dares to provoke him now?”
“Moreover, Huo Xiaoran is also extraordinary and has a noble character. His new product development meeting gathered a wave of big shots. I heard that many of them were indebted to him. Master, the battle between the Li family and Xiaoran is over. The Li family lost badly.”
Old Master Li was so agitated that his mouth suddenly stiffened and became crooked. He whimpered and said, “It’s all my fault. I was blind and mistook the sand for pearls. I’ve offended Xiaoran.”
Then, the scheming Old Master Li began to cause trouble again. “Butler, I can’t hold on much longer. I want to see Xiaoran. I’ll kneel down and apologize to him and beg him to let the Li family off.”
The butler sighed. “Master, have you forgotten? The last time you wanted to trick Xiaoran over, Qiao An was the one who came in the end. Do you remember Qiao An’s words? Huo Xiaoran didn’t even have any sympathy for your death. It can be seen that his heart was broken by you. His love for the Li family has completely broken.”
Old Master Li said indignantly, “Butler, if he doesn’t come, I’ll go see him. Push me out and let me see Xiaoran.”
The butler said, “Master, your body can’t take it anymore. The doctor said that your life is coming to an end.”
Old Master Li shed tears of regret. “It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault. I’m a sinner. I shouldn’t have gone back on my word to Huo Xinping. I shouldn’t have been so greedy. In the end, my family was ruined.”
The butler said, “That’s right. If you had treated Huo Xinping and her child well back then, the Li family would not have to worry about food and clothing with Xiaoran, the adopted son, backing the Li family. Their career would definitely have improved.”
Old Master thought for a moment and was indignant. “No, I have to see Xiaoran…”
The butler thought for a moment and brought his phone over.
“Master, if you really miss Huo Xiaoran, why don’t you call him?”
The old man nodded quickly.
The butler called Xiaoran for him. The phone rang for a long time. When Old Master Li was in despair, the call went through.
“Hey.”
Old Master Li recognized Huo Xiaoran’s voice and was so excited that tears streamed down his face. He shouted excitedly, “Xiaoran, it’s me, it’s Dad…”
On the other end, Huo Xiaoran frowned and looked out of the window at the Falcon playing with his children. His eyes were covered in hostility.
“Dad? Don’t insult that word. My father is helping me take care of the children. There is no pay without hard work. Are you worthy of being on par with him?”
Old Master Li was dumbfounded. He had never seen Huo Xiaoran so sharp.
“Xiaoran, I was wrong. I really know my mistake. Please let the Li family off.”
When Huo Xiaoran heard Old Master Li’s teary voice, he sighed weakly. “The Li family’s destruction has nothing to do with me.”
“I know, Xiaoran, I know you didn’t take revenge on the Li family. However, you’re the strongest one in the capital market now. As long as you’re willing to give the Li family a chance, the other capital will not kill the Li family for your sake. I’m not ambitious now, nor will the Li family soar. I just hope that my children can have jobs.”
Old Master Li repented humbly.
Huo Xiaoran said, “Why should I help you? Give me a reason to help you.”
Old Master Li was dumbfounded.
“I know that we’ve let you down. Our Li family is an ingrate in front of you. Xiaoran. I just want you to keep your good intentions.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “My kindness will only be used on kind people. To lowly people like you who go back on your word and betray others, I will only be crueler than winter. Old Master Li, let me tell you, not only will I not save the Li family, but my revenge on the Li family will also begin. Just wait. Look at your unfilial descendants. Their outcome will be very tragic.”
Not only did Old Master Li not make Huo Xiaoran change his mind, but he also made him even angrier and decided to take revenge on the Li family. This made Old Master Li very desperate.
“Xiaoran, what will it take for you to forgive the Li family?”
“Unless my mother can be revived.”
Old Master Li was petrified.
Huo Xiaoran hung up.
Old Master Li’s ears were filled with Huo Xiaoran’s voice of revenge on the Li family. He was so frightened that his entire body trembled and he curled up in the corner.
“Xiaoran, don’t hurt us, please,” he murmured weakly.
In extreme fear, Old Master Li waited for his life to run out.
He stared at the ceiling with terrified eyes. The ceiling seemed to have transformed into a huge black hole that devoured him.
He floated in the darkness for a long time. He was extremely afraid.
The last trace of light shot in, and he quickly ran in the direction of the light. At this moment, where he saw the light, Huo Xinping stood looking at him quietly.
Old Master Li was frightened. He exclaimed, “Huo Xinping, aren’t you dead? Why are you here? Please, don’t hurt me. I was wrong. I was wrong.”
Huo Xinping’s beautiful face suddenly transformed into the terrifying appearance of a dead person. Her tongue fell out, her hair was messy, and her face was pale. Her faint voice sounded. “Li, how can you go back on your word? You promised me to treat my child well. Why did you go back on your word? You caused my child to suffer.”
“I was wrong. Xinping, I was wrong. I’ve already received my retribution. Our Li family is gone. My wife committed suicide. What else do you want?”
“Not enough, not enough. I want them all to go to hell.”
“Let my children go. Please, Xinping.”
“You asked me to let them off, but why didn’t you let my child off then?”
Old Master Li’s terrified scream reached the ears of the descendants in the lobby. They heard Old Master call Huo Xinping and heard him beg her to forgive them. Their faces turned pale.
They looked at each other anxiously. Suddenly, after the old man whimpered, there was no movement.
Li Tingye suddenly ran into the room. The others ran in one after another. They saw Old Master Li with half of his body drooping under the bed, his eyes wide with fear, regret, and guilt.
“Dad.” The descendants wailed.
However, after the sorrow, it was time to hold a funeral for the old man.
Li Tingye’s cunningness was on display again. He, Li Tinglei, and Li Zecheng discussed that the old man’s funeral had to be grand. Firstly, the old man was glorious when he was alive and should leave gloriously after he died. Secondly, they could use the funeral to accumulate wealth. Perhaps they could also stimulate sympathy and save the Li family from danger.
