Then, Wei Xin freed one hand to pull Li Zecheng. “Hubby, the child is probably frightened. Carry him in.”
Li Zecheng quickly stood up. He took the child and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Huo Xiaoran’s voice sounded faintly. “Li Zecheng, can escaping solve the problem?”
Li Zecheng was slightly stunned. He smiled and said, “Uncle, I’ll come back immediately after coaxing the child.”
Huo Xiaoran elegantly raised his wrist to look at his watch and said, “If you don’t give me an answer in five minutes, I won’t give you a chance even if you beg me in the future.”
Li Zecheng’s heart trembled. He knew best what kind of person Huo Xiaoran was. He looked gentle and kind, but he was secretly vengeful and ruthless.
Third Madam said, “Fourth Brother, he’s your nephew. Why are you making things difficult for him?”
Huo Xiaoran’s words made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
“In my eyes, he’s just the child of the murderer who killed my mother.”
Third Madam was so shocked that her face turned ashen.
Li Zecheng’s back stiffened as he slowly stuffed the child back into Wei Xin’s hand. He then turned around and walked to Huo Xiaoran’s side. With a thud, he knelt in front of Huo Xiaoran.
“Uncle, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have fallen for Qiao An.”
He slapped himself twice, hard. People around him were stunned by his actions.
“Zecheng, what are you doing?” Old Master Li questioned.
Old Master Li was angry at Huo Xiaoran for forcing his grandson. “Xiaoran, are you done? No matter how many mistakes Zecheng has committed, it’s all in the past.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Old Master Li coldly. “To me, the heart-wrenching pain of losing Qiao An has never passed.”
Old Master Li was dumbfounded.
For five years, Xiaoran had not forgotten Qiao An. He vaguely remembered that when Li Zecheng was divorced, he had mentioned that Qiao An was Xiaoran’s first love. Old Master Li said naturally, “Since you love Qiao An so much, why didn’t you keep her close to you back then?”
Huo Xiaoran glared at Li Zecheng coldly. “I also want to know the reason, so please don’t interrupt Li Zecheng.”
Old Master Li said resentfully, “Zecheng, what exactly is going on?”
Li Zecheng felt guilty. He lowered his head and said in fear, “I saw the record of Qiao An taking the initiative to meet him on Uncle’s computer chat page. She sent me a photo and I was moved by her youth and beauty. Therefore, when Qiao An came to the capital, I was the one who took the initiative to meet her. I pretended to be Angel Thunderbolt Blade. Qiao An just thought that I was about the same age as Uncle and was from the Li family, so she wasn’t suspicious.”
“I was afraid that things would go wrong, so I urged her to marry me quickly. I didn’t expect her to agree without a word. I didn’t even have a proposal ring, but she easily agreed to marry me. Then, I married her in fear.”
When Huo Xiaoran heard this, his handsome face cracked with endless pain.
It turned out that Qiao An had married Li Zecheng not because she loved Li Zecheng, but because she loved him.
There hadn’t been a single proposal ring, and she’d married herself off in such a hurry. That fool had been so devoted to him, and he’d resented her for despising him all these years.
He had completely misunderstood her.
He regretted it.
“Li Zecheng, were you the one who caused Qiao An to hate me for the past few years?” he asked weakly.
Li Zecheng felt wronged. He explained, “I did sow discord between the two of you. At most, I told her that you’re a playboy. She just doesn’t like you. She doesn’t hate you, right?”
Huo Xiaoran frowned.
After Qiao An returned from overseas, she clearly hated him very much. Looking at Li Zecheng’s expression, it didn’t seem like he was lying. Could it be that she hated him for something else?
Huo Xiaoran stood up and rolled up his sleeves. His actions were wild and unruly.
Li Zecheng fell to the ground in fright. “Uncle, what do you want?”
Huo Xiaoran waved his fists and punched Li Zecheng. His anger turned him into a lion that had lost control. He roared, “Li Zecheng, I’m going to kill you. If it weren’t for you, my An’an wouldn’t have lived so painfully. I wouldn’t have lived so desperately.”
“Uncle, I was wrong. I know I’ve let you down, and I’ve been living in fear for those few years. I married Qiao An, and she lived in the past with you every day. I’ve been suffocating too.”
“You still have the cheek to say that. Since you lied to her, why didn’t you cherish her? You cheated and gave her to the kidnappers. You lived such a lowly and painful life for her. Li Zecheng, you deserve to die.”
“Yes, I deserve to die. I’ve already been punished as I deserve. All you know is that I hurt Qiao An. Can’t you see how much Qiao An hurt me? She made me infamous. She made me leave with nothing. She even had to say that I raped her in those few times we were together. There’s no happiness in our short marriage except.”
‘Rape?’
These words made Huo Xiaoran’s blood boil. So this was how Qiao An described her relationship with Li Zecheng. She felt humiliated. It was obvious how much this marriage had hurt her.
“Li Zecheng…” Huo Xiaoran was furious.
“Because of you, we’re both unhappy.” His fists rained down.
Soon, Li Zecheng’s face was bruised and his ribs were broken.
Third Madam fainted on the spot.
Old Master Li hurriedly instructed the butler to get someone to stop Huo Xiaoran.
However, Huo Xiaoran seemed to have gone crazy. He was a black belt in Taekwondo, so those people could not stop him at all.
Huo Zhou watched from the side. He felt that it was good for Huo Xiaoran to vent his anger. Therefore, as long as Huo Xiaoran didn’t suffer, he would watch from the sidelines.
It was only when Li Zecheng fainted that Huo Zhou pulled Huo Xiaoran away.
“Xiaoran, that’s enough.”
“No, I want to kill him,” Huo Xiaoran said angrily with bloodshot eyes.
Huo Zhou said, “If you kill him, you’ll be held criminally responsible. Aren’t you afraid that Qiao An won’t have a peaceful life after you go to jail?”
