“Am I only my mother’s son?” Li Zecheng questioned Li Tingfeng sinisterly.
“Answer me. Am I only my mother’s son?”
Li Tingfeng saw that Li Zecheng’s expression was a little strange. He was afraid that he would do something crazy and did not know how to answer.
Li Zecheng gritted his teeth and said angrily, “I’m your son. My mother spoiled me with her words, and you taught me with your actions. What I have today is the result of the two of you. What right do you have to place all the responsibility on my mother?”
Li Tingfeng was speechless.
Li Zecheng said, “Today, you only have to say the word. Do you love this woman very much?”
Li Tingfeng nodded carefully. “Yes.”
Li Zecheng said, “Alright, leave with nothing. Leave the house, car, and company to my mother. Get out and find your love.”
Li Tingfeng said angrily, “Zecheng, you’re too much. I’m your father. Can’t you give me a way out?”
Li Zecheng said, “I’ll say this much. If you don’t want me to kill a few people, choose one.”
Li Tingfeng’s expression was ugly.
Li Zecheng said disdainfully, “Get lost. Go discuss with your woman and see if she’s willing to accept a penniless man. If she does, my mother and I will let go.”
Li Tingfeng got up and walked to the woman’s side. He took off the sharp knife from her neck and said helplessly, “Did you hear that?”
The woman glared at Li Zecheng angrily. “Does he want you to leave with nothing? You’ll go through the lawsuit for the divorce. I don’t believe that the court won’t give you half of your assets.”
Third Madam knew very well about divorce lawsuits. After all, she had tried to punish Qiao An with nothing back then, but the law didn’t support leaving the wife with nothing.
She was indignant that the Li family’s assets had been obtained by a mistress without any effort. She pointed at the mistress angrily and said, “Remember, the ending of every mistress will be very satisfying.”
The woman’s face darkened.
She pulled Li Tingfeng out.
“Stop,” an old voice suddenly said from the ground.
Li Tingfeng stood rooted to the ground and slowly turned around to look at the skinny Old Master Li in the wheelchair.
“Daddy.”
Old Master Li’s expression was as usual. Perhaps it was because he had seen too many melodramatic battles between the inner and outer residences, but he accepted Li Tingfeng’s actions extremely calmly.
“You still know that I’m your father?” Old Master Li said coldly.
“If you really think I’m your father, come back here.”
Perhaps it was because Old Master Li was old and his prestige had decreased, but Li Tingfeng no longer listened to him like before.
“Daddy, just give us what we want.”
“If you dare to step out of this door, our Li family will no longer have a son like you,” Old Master Li said angrily.
Li Tingfeng glanced at the old door of the Li family’s villa and smiled indifferently. “If going home is to restrict my happiness for the rest of my life, I can only bid farewell to Father.”
Old Master Li was furious. “Why? Are you ignoring my words because I’m about to die?”
Li Tingfeng stood rooted to the ground.
Old Master Li sneered. “As expected, I’m old and useless. So you don’t listen to me anymore.”
Huo Xiaoran teased back, “Old man, I don’t like what you’re saying. Didn’t I come back when you asked me to? Don’t disappoint me.”
Old Master Li looked at Huo Xiaoran and suddenly smiled.
“That’s right. You didn’t listen to me in the past. Instead, you came to respect me when I was down and out. Xiaoran, your kindness is also protected by the heavens. Your family is happy and your career is prosperous. I’m also satisfied.”
Li Tingfeng’s expression was ugly.
Huo Xiaoran said lightly to Li Tingfeng, “Third Brother if you want to leave, leave. The Li family is no longer prosperous. It’s indeed not worth it for you to stay. However…”
Huo Xiaoran changed the topic. “When Third Brother steps out of this door today, he will become famous for abandoning his wife and son for his mistress. Although the merchants in the capital are all unclean, they have pride. It’s just that they look down on men like you who abandon their wives and children. In the future, not to mention them, even I don’t dare to interact with you.”
Li Tingfeng was a smart person. He understood Huo Xiaoran’s words.
Businessmen were most particular about reputation.
He was wavering.
At this moment, for some reason, Old Master Li actually asked Li Tingfeng and that woman to stay. “Both of you can stay. Our Li family doesn’t lack a pair of chopsticks.”
Was he openly allowing a mistress to come home?
Everyone was shocked. After all, the old man hated it when the Li family’s men confused the status of the main wife with the women outside.
Third Madam fell to the ground with a desolate expression.
Old Master Li said to Qiao An, “An’an, have dinner before you leave. I want to draft a will. Come and help me look at it in the afternoon.”
Everyone was shocked.
Qiao An was helping the old man draft the contract. Was that fair?
Qiao An was now a member of the fourth branch.
However, the old man was about to draw up his will. None of them wanted to cause trouble for him at this time, afraid that they would put him off.
Qiao An looked at Huo Xiaoran in embarrassment. Huo Xiaoran placed his mouth by her ear and whispered, “You don’t have to fight for me. We can rely on ourselves. Otherwise, you’ll attract jealousy in the future. Don’t worry, Brother Xiaoran will work hard and not let you suffer more than them.”
Qiao An nodded. “I understand.”
In the afternoon, the lawyer arrived.
Qiao An entered the old man’s study.
The lawyer handed all the information on the inheritance that he had sorted out to Old Master Li. Old Master Li took it and flipped through it before closing the file.
Qiao An was slightly surprised when she saw the thick information. Although the Li family was a century-old pharmaceutical company with a deep foundation, they had been defeated by their unfilial descendants. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be much left.
Why was there so much information?
Old Master Li smiled and asked Qiao An, “An’an, I know that you’ve always had no desires and are the fairest. Why don’t you help me decide how to split the Li family’s inheritance?”
Qiao An said without thinking, “Brother Xiaoran asked me to give up the assets. In that case, the Li family’s assets are divided into four parts. The first branch, the second branch, and the third branch are all married and have children. Each of them gets 30% of the assets. Although Li Tingting is a girl and should not split with the others, since she’s an illegitimate daughter. If her assets are split with the others, the family will be suspected of advocating an extramarital affair. Therefore, I’m only giving her 10%.”
Old Master Li said, “Li Tingting, I’m prepared to give her five percent.”
He was even more surprised. “Qiao An, have you really decided to give up the Li family’s inheritance?”
