The old lady and her sons remained silent.

Li Xiaoran’s mother was in her prime when she entered the Li family. She was young, beautiful, and stunning, giving the forty-year-old Mrs. Li a huge threat.

Old Master Li especially doted on the young and beautiful Huo Xinping. After Huo Xinping gave birth to Li Xiaoran, Old Master Li was happy to have a son at an old age and doted on Li Xiaoran even more.

The old lady and her sons immediately felt threatened. They began to sow discord between the Old Master and Huo Xinping. Mrs. Li had power and influence, and Huo Xinping was alone and helpless. It was really effortless for Mrs. Li and her sons, who had already started to take charge, to plot against Huo Xinping.

Soon, Old Master Li began to distance himself from Huo Xinping and her son. Without Old Master Li’s protection, their lives became even more difficult.

In the end, Huo Xinping committed suicide.

Perhaps Old Master Li’s heart ached for her death, but he had always been rational. The dead would not return, so he chose to protect the living.

He buried Huo Xinping in the Baoshan Cemetery as if he was burying his love with her. From then on, he rarely mentioned her.

It also alienated Li Xiaoran.

The old lady and her sons successfully inherited all the family assets.

In order to prevent his children and grandchildren from making the same mistake as him, the old man set a rule that the children of other women would not have an inheritance. The past was unbearable.

Old Master Li let out a long sigh. “You’d better keep mum about the cause of Xiao Ran’s mother’s death. If anyone leaks anything, don’t even think about protecting yourselves.”

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Old Master was on her side, she firmly believed that the cause of Xiao Ran’s mother’s death was a secret forever. After all, no one had evidence of them framing her. What could Li Xiaoran do to them?

However, they did not expect that Huo Xiaoran did not need any concrete evidence to seek justice.

A month later, a few problems appeared in the Li family’s pharmaceutical company. The partner hospitals seemed to have discussed it collectively and stood the Li family up. They turned around and signed a long-term contract with Huo Xiaoran’s Angel Group. This caused the Li family’s pharmaceuticals to be stagnant. As time passed, the medicine expired and they suffered heavy losses.

Because Huo Xiaoran’s Angel Group had invested in the expansion and urgently needed a large number of medicinal herbs, they signed a long-term supply contract. As a result, the supply of medicinal herbs to the Li family was reduced.

As a century-old pharmaceutical company, the Li family did not have the best herb supplier or the largest hospital that sold medicine directly. Their production chain was blocked and it was difficult to move.

As time passed, the three Li brothers panicked.

They all asked Master Li for help.

After Old Master Li found out about the predicament, his eagle eyes were almost spitting fire. “Li Xiaoran, you’re really ruthless. You’re not giving us any way out.”

Li Tingye was indignant. “Dad, Xiaoran has the vicious intention of destroying the Li family. We really didn’t expect him to be so ruthless behind the scenes.”

Second Brother Li was flexible. “Why don’t we beg Fourth Brother? Perhaps he can give us a way out.”

The old lady glared at Second Brother Li and said, “You three men have been in the business world for a long time. Can’t you beat him, a greenhorn?”

“Then let’s think of another way,” Li Tingye said helplessly.

As time passed, Huo Xiaoran’s attacks on the Li family became even more rapid. Three months later, the Li family faced the potential crisis of layoffs and bankruptcy.

The men of the Li family were anxious. In the end, Old Master Li decided to give up his dignity and plead with Li Xiaoran.

On this day, he called Li Xiaoran.

The person who picked up the phone was Li Xiaoran’s secretary. She reminded him very tactfully, “Sorry, you’re looking for the wrong person. My CEO’s surname is Huo, not Li.” Then, the female secretary hung up.

Old Master Li choked.

As a father, he had called to look for his son, but there were actually so many twists and turns.

He called Li Xiaoran for the second time and ordered coldly, “Miss, I’m Li Xiaoran’s father. Tell him to call me back as soon as possible.”

The secretary still said in a procedural voice, “Okay, I’ll tell my CEO after he’s done.”

Then, Old Master Li waited expectantly for Li Xiaoran’s call.

However, after waiting for a long time, Li Xiaoran did not call.

In the end, the old man decided to bring his sons to Huo Xiaoran’s Angel Group.

Of course, the old man’s face darkened the entire way to the Angel Group. After all, he was their father. Seeing that he had to go through all that trouble to see his own son, he was very angry.

After he came to the Angel Group, he was even angrier.

Because he did not have an invitation from the Angel Group, he was stopped by the security guards when he arrived at the door.

The three Li brothers explained, “We’re President Huo’s family. We want to see President Huo. Hurry up and inform him to come out and welcome us.”

The security guard sneered. “Many liars wish to meet my CEO every day. Don’t think I’ll believe your nonsense. Leave quickly. The CEO doesn’t have time to see you.”

“I’m really his father.” Old Master Li was trembling with anger.

Second Brother Li took out his ID card and said, “Who are you fooling? My CEO’s surname is Huo, not Li. Go, go, go. If you don’t leave, I’ll release the dog.”

Old Master Li was furious.

At this moment, a beautiful girl walked out and said to the security guard, “They are the CEO’s family. Let them in.”

The security guard’s face turned pale. “It’s over. I’m in trouble.”

Li Tingfeng rolled his eyes at him. “You blind guy, be prepared to be fired.”

The beautiful female secretary brought the men from the Li family to the CEO’s office. As soon as they entered the office, Old Master Li was furious.

“Li Xiaoran, why? Now that you’re the grandson of the Huo family, you don’t even acknowledge your father?”

Huo Xiaoran sat on the high swivel chair and looked at Old Master like a dormant beast.

“You came all the way here to look for me. Could it be that you’re begging me in regard to the Li family’s business?”

Old Master Li almost fainted.

“Li Xiaoran, don’t forget that you’re also a member of the Li family,” Old Master Li said angrily.

Huo Xiaoran fiddled with the fountain pen in his hand with a distracted look.

Since Old Master Li had come to plead with him, he would deal with whatever came his way.

“I want to know how my mother died?”

Old Master Li’s anger froze on his face.

Huo Xiaoran unexpectedly mentioned his mother, causing the few valiant men who came to get close to Huo Xiaoran to instantly lose their fighting spirit.
