BXBX NOVEL Chapter 618 - 618 The Situation in the First Family
The real reason for Li Kang’s collapse was that everyone on Li Kang’s side finally realized that Huo Xiaoran had the support of the three giant families. More importantly, he was very capable. Since Huo Xiaoran and Li Zecheng were not on good terms, they could only choose the Angel Group that was more beneficial to them.
When Li Zecheng found out the truth, he suffered an unprecedented blow.
He suddenly realized how ridiculous it was for him to treat Huo Xiaoran as an opponent.
Huo Xiaoran probably didn’t take him seriously at all. He was the one who overestimated himself and provoked him.
Before Huo Xiaoran could take revenge on him, Li Kang was already so weak. When Huo Xiaoran took action, the Li Kang Corporation would probably only suffer destructive revenge.
In order to preserve the remaining assets of the Li Kang Corporation, Li Zecheng completely disbanded the company’s employees and deregistered the company. The Li Kang Corporation completely disappeared from the pharmaceutical world.
The battle between the Huo and Li families was not over yet.
The descendants of the Li family had been fired from the company recently. They were all very depressed.
Li Tingye and Li Tinglei’s children had lost their jobs, so they vented their anger at Li Zecheng. Recently, they had been mocking Li Zecheng from time to time. “Li Zecheng, it’s all your fault for overestimating yourself and battling with Xiaoran. Otherwise, my siblings wouldn’t have been implicated by you and lost their jobs.”
Li Zecheng was like a stray dog without any edge.
Only his mother, Huang Yushu, felt sorry for her son and defended him. “When nothing happened to Li Kang, you all instigated him to be Xiaoran’s enemy. Now that he has lost, you hit him when he was down and blame him.”
Li Tingye and Li Tinglei felt a little guilty. However, Li Zecheng was now defeated by Huo Xiaoran and gained notoriety in the business world. He had almost been abandoned by the entire capital. This treatment was even more embarrassing than a few years ago.
It would be difficult for him to make a comeback.
Li Tingye and Li Tinglei would not treat them well. “That’s all because your son thinks highly of himself. That’s why we blindly believed him. Now that the Li family has withered, what should we do in the future?”
The silent First Madam suddenly said faintly, “We can’t stay in the capital anymore. Let’s leave the capital. I’ve already decided that I want to change my son’s name. Only then can he escape the humiliation of the Li family and find a new opportunity to stand up.”
The chauvinist Li Tingye immediately protested, “I won’t allow him to change his name. Our Li family’s son can’t have another surname.”
First Madam looked at her husband and smiled sarcastically.
“Do you think your Li family is royalty? Who in the capital doesn’t know that the Li family has received retribution for bullying their adopted son? The Li Kang Corporation is gone, and the Li family is perishing. Everyone in the capital is secretly waiting to see how much longer Huo Xiaoran would let the Li family live. At this time, the Li family is a joke to everyone.”
Li Tingye was domineering, and First Madam had always been timid. Today, First Madam was acting out of character and making the Li family out to be worthless. This made Li Tingye furious.
He stood up and slapped First Madam hard in the face.
First Madam did not cry as usual and only looked at him quietly. However, her gaze was unprecedentedly sharp and ruthless.
Li Tingye felt uncomfortable under that gaze. He was suddenly a little afraid. However, he could not bring himself to lower his pride. He said coldly, “The Li family is not something you can gossip about.”
First Madam walked up to him and suddenly slapped him back.
Everyone was shocked, and Li Tingye was even more stunned by First Madam.
“How dare you hit me?” He glared at her in disbelief.
First Madam said, “I’ve tolerated you for many years. All those years, I took care of the children and swallowed the grievances you inflicted on me for the sake of family harmony. But now, why should I tolerate you? I have no reason to tolerate you. You can’t earn money for me or take care of my emotions, let alone serve me when I’m sick. To me, you’re useless now. If you had a better temper, I would turn a blind eye to you on account of our relationship as husband and wife. But you’re clearly worthless, but you still want to order me around. What right do you have?”
First Madam’s heartfelt words made Li Tingye angry and nervous.
“Madam, you…”
First Madam turned to her son and said, “Son, it’s not scary to lose your job. Mom will take you out of the capital. In the future, we’ll live an ordinary life incognito.”
Her son looked at Li Tingye angrily. “Dad, you’re not allowed to hit Mom again. If you dare to attack her again, I won’t stand by and watch.”
Li Tingye trembled when he saw his son’s gaze.
His chest heaved with anger. “You’re rebelling, aren’t you?”
First Madam glanced at him coldly. “Remember, that shall be the last time you hit me. If you dare to touch me again, Li Tingye, our marriage will come to an end.”
Li Tingye’s face was ashen.
Finally, he whimpered and roared helplessly, “I can stop hitting you, but the child has to take my surname.”
First Madam rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, “You’re too selfish. Can’t the future of our son compare to yours? If you have the ability, find a decent job. That way, I won’t have to change his surname.”
Li Tingye lowered his head dejectedly.
When Li Tinglei saw the Li family fall and his sister-in-law riding on his brother’s head, he immediately glanced at the Second Madam guiltily.
The Second Madam seemed to fall silent.
Li Tinglei was very uneasy.
The storm was coming.
The roars and arguments in the living room reached Old Master Li’s bedroom. Old Master Li widened his terrified eyes and asked his butler, “What happened outside?”
The butler looked down at the old man. For some reason, he suddenly took a few steps forward and said to the old man, “Master, Li Zecheng’s Li Kang Group is gone. The capital market has completely given up on the Li family. The descendants of the Li family have all lost their jobs. The Li family lost very badly in this gamble between Li Zecheng and Huo Xiaoran.”
When Old Master Li heard this bad news, he immediately could not breathe.
The butler continued, “Master, the living room was very noisy. First Madam asked the child to take her surname, but Eldest Master didn’t agree. He slapped First Madam. But… First Madam also slapped him and called him trash…”
The old man whimpered in agitation. “You’re not allowed to change your surname. Otherwise, our Li family will be destroyed in my hands. How can I face my ancestors?”
