589 Love the New and Love the Old Until Death
Xiao Ming rolled his eyes at Zhou Zhou and said with disdain and mockery, “I’m different from him. He liked Qianqian but doesn’t have a proper relationship with her. Naturally, he can like the new and hate the old. And Qianqian and I have the fruit of love. Our love will last until death.”
Faced with his good friend’s ruthless teasing, Huo Zhou teased, “Xiao Ming, don’t make yourself sound so great. When Xiaoran didn’t return back then, the Xiao family tried their best to encourage you and An’an, but I didn’t see you reject it. Tell me the truth. You actually like An’an, right?”
Huo Xiaoran glared fiercely at Zhou Zhou.
Instead, Xiao Ming said frankly, “An’an is a great woman. She’s a blessing to her husband. No man would reject marrying her, right? Besides, she’s my daughter’s mother.”
Huo Xiaoran glared at Xiao Ming fiercely again. In the end, he simply snatched the teacups from their hands and chased them away. “The two of you, get lost. You’re not welcome here. You’re not allowed to come here in the future.”
Qiao An quickly helped him out. “Brother Xiaoran, this is not the way to treat guests. Don’t worry, I’ll only have you in my heart.”
Huo Xiaoran pulled Qiao An into his arms proudly and looked at Xiao Ming with a smug gaze.
However, Huo Xiaoran was also brooding over Xiao Ming’s existence. He was also on Qiao An’s side. “Brother Xiao Ming, An’an is right. You should find a companion. Otherwise, you’ll implicate my Joey when you’re old.”
Xiao Ming was speechless.
Xiao Ming loved Joey. He had never wanted to implicate Joey. But the reality was a cruel problem. He was alone. If anything happened, Joey could only worry about him.
Xiao Ming fell silent.
Huo Xiaoran touched a sore spot. “Brother Xiao Ming, think about it. You’ve let Joey down in this life. You lost her biological mother, and as her biological father, you didn’t fulfill your father’s duty to take care of her and accompany her. When you’re old, you still have to ask her for family care. Joey will be quite pitiful.”
Xiao Ming stood up and blushed with anger. “Huo Xiaoran, why is your mouth so vicious?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “This is the hard truth. Xiao Ming, you’re too headstrong. Qianqian would also want you to live the rest of your life happily.”
Xiao Ming’s handsome face was gloomy. He sat down heavily again.
“It’s not that I have to keep my chastity for Qianqian. It’s just that I once loved a noble woman with similar interests. It’s very difficult for other women to reach my heart.”
Qiao An said, “If you don’t open your heart, how do you know there’s no woman in this world who suits you?”
Huo Zhou knew better. “An’an is right, Brother Xiao Ming. In the past, I was like you. I looked at my Sisi with prejudice. After a few years, I finally realized what an outstanding girl Sisi was. She is self-reliant and has a sense of justice. And she loved me more than herself. Instead of honoring Qianian, we are just letting down the girl who loves us.”
Huo Xiaoran gave Huo Zhou a thumbs up. “You’re finally enlightened. How rare.”
Huo Zhou smiled and said, “Under the influence of a love expert like you, it’s difficult for one to take things too hard.”
An’an suddenly fell silent amid the commotion.
Xiaoran looked at her in a daze. “What are you thinking about?”
An’an suddenly looked up, her eyes flickering. “I’m in trouble. Brother Xiao Ming is a single noble. He can help me.” She looked at Xiao Ming pleadingly.
Xiao Ming said righteously, “An’an, I’ll definitely help you no matter what. What is it?”
Qiao An said, “I want you to help me set a honey trap.”
Xiao Ming was dumbfounded.
“An’an, I suspect that you’re playing tricks on me?”
Qiao An said anxiously, “Brother Xiao Ming, as you know, the Angel Group was destroyed by Li Zecheng. Now, it’s time to fight with Li Zecheng’s Li Kang Group for the position of market leader. However, Old Master Li assigned the Soaring Cloud Group to Li Zecheng, so he’s like a tiger with wings. In addition, Li Zecheng has another help. He and the Medicine King’s daughter are about to get married. That Miss Rong Rong is very happy with Li Zecheng. I hope you can help me get close to Rong Rong. It’s best if you get let her to withdraw her love for Li Zecheng so that she can look at Li Zecheng calmly and rationally. From then on, our Angel Group will have a chance to fight with Li Zecheng.”
Xiao Ming looked at Qiao An steadily, thinking about how true her words were.
Huo Xiaoran and Zhou Zhou also looked straight at Qiao An with smiles.
The men all knew that Qiao An had an ulterior motive. It was true that she had let Xiao Ming approach the beauty.
Xiao Ming suddenly laughed loudly. He glanced at Huo Xiaoran. “Xiaoran, when did you become so incompetent? You actually let Qiao An help you take care of business matters?”
Huo Xiaoran’s handsome face darkened as he looked at Qiao An aggrievedly.
He almost retorted that he didn’t need An’an to help him. An’an clearly wanted to help him.
However, Qiao An held his hand tightly. The warmth of her palm warmed Xiaoran.
Xiaoran endured.
“I can live off my wife because I’m outstanding. It’s better than you not being able to find a wife.”
Xiao Ming was speechless. “You’re really thick-skinned.”
Xiaoran asked him, “Just be frank. Do you want to help my An’an?”
Xiao Ming said, “She helped me raise my daughter. Can I not help?”
Qiao An was overjoyed. “Then it’s settled.”
Qiao An sent Rong Rong’s phone number to Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming stared at the phone number in a daze. “If I call her without rhyme or reason like a lecher. She won’t like me, will she?”
Huo Zhou said, “Are you stupid? If you deploy the schemes you used as undercover to woo Rong Rong, won’t she fall for you in minutes?”
Xiao Ming rolled his eyes at him. He had long stopped being an undercover. He was subconsciously forgetting those dark years.
Huo Zhou suggested again, “Aiya, isn’t this simple? I’ll find a few hooligans to make things difficult for her. Just be a hero and save the damsel in distress.”
Xiao Ming said, “Okay.”
Just like that, the honey trap was laid.
The next day, Huo Xiaoran received a call from the Li family early in the morning. “Xiaoran, Old Master is about to die. Hurry back and see him one last time.”
It was Second Brother who called. When Huo Xiaoran received this call, he was in a daze for a long time.
Those sad memories flashed across his mind.
On the eve of the college entrance examination, he knelt in front of Old Master Li and forced him to admit it. “Dad, if you still want me as your son, please tell me the truth now. Is my mother’s death related to Madam?”
A hint of helplessness flashed across Old Master Li’s eyes, but it was more of indifference.
“Li Xiaoran, what do you mean? Are you using the college entrance examination to force me to submit? Hehe, you’re really stupid. The college entrance examination determines your future. What does it have to do with me? If you do well, it’s your life. Don’t you think it’s childish to use that to threaten me?”
