409 Humans Die for Money, Birds Die for Food
When the woman heard this, she was immediately furious. She cried and said to Li Zeyu, “You heartless little thing, Mom saw that you didn’t grow up in the Li family and had a thin relationship with the Li family, so I thought of a way to get you to come back and live here. This way, I can compensate you for your regrets from your childhood.”
She went from being aggressive to acting pitifully to gain sympathy.
However, Li Zeyu was upright. Although he was in a difficult position, he still held on to his kindness. He comforted his mother helplessly, “Mom if obtaining these close relatives will make Sister Ze’en lose them, I’d rather not. My happiness can’t be built on others’ pain.”
Third Madam cried even harder when she heard this. The farce that should have ended turned into a new round of war because of Li Tingfeng’s return.
The woman pulled Li Tingfeng and cried, “Hubby, you’re finally back. If you don’t come back, our son won’t be able to stay.”
Li Tingfeng had always doted on Li Zeyu the most. He immediately thought that the entire family was making things difficult for Li Zeyu and looked at everyone with a dark expression.
Finally, his gaze landed on Qiao An. “Qiao An, every time you come back, this family is especially uneasy.”
He could accurately identify the culprit.
Qiao An was about to retort when Huo Xiaoran stood up and protected Qiao An. “Third Brother, don’t slander her. My An’an kindly sent your daughter home. Not only are you not grateful, but you’re also barking like a dog. What’s the difference between this and an ingrate?”
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Li Tingfeng and Huo Xiaoran’s hostility today was unprecedentedly heavy.
Because Li Tingfeng had recently accepted a few big orders, he was very arrogant. Therefore, he did not take the honest Huo Xiaoran seriously. Perhaps he had already seen that in a few years, his business path could surpass Huo Xiaoran’s.
Although Huo Xiaoran was always protective of Qiao An, it was rare for him to have such a sharp tongue.
Qiao An looked at the two of them and wondered what had happened between them this morning.
Li Tingfeng sat on the sofa and crossed his legs. He lit his cigarette and looked at Huo Xiaoran disdainfully. “Fourth Brother, you’re so arrogant. In this family, don’t forget that you’re the only person who isn’t related to us by blood.”
Huo Xiaoran pursed his lips and chuckled. “Third Brother, as long as Old Master still recognizes me as his son, I have the same legal rights and obligations as you. Do I have the right to speak in this family?”
Li Tingfeng snorted. “Don’t think you’re amazing just because you earn more than us.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “I think Third Brother is the arrogant one. He thinks that he has done a few big businesses and is dreaming of owning a business empire. Third Brother, you’ve lived for a long time. Don’t be so childish, okay? How can there be a free lunch in the world? If someone tells you that he’s the king of business in the Eurasian market, let me tell you, he must be lying to you.”
Li Tingfeng could tell what he meant. “Huo Xiaoran, what do you mean? Did you investigate Boss Guo?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “Your fourth brother is a famous person on the richest businessmen list. All the businessmen ranked before me are famous businessmen. You actually believed an unknown small fry who told you that he could make you a famous person in the capital. I can only say that he’s fooling you. To believe him, you’ve really lived in vain.”
A hint of panic flashed across Li Tingfeng’s eyes, but he quickly calmed down. “If that Boss Guo is fake, then he couldn’t have increased the price of my shares. Huo Xiaoran, in my opinion, you can’t bear to see me do well, so you made up these lies to taunt me.”
Huo Xiaoran frowned. “Isn’t it easy to control and increase the price of a stock? You just raise funds.”
Because Li Tingfeng benefited greatly In a short period of time, it was impossible for him to believe Huo Xiaoran’s words. He was still immersed in the dream of getting rich. He said angrily, “Xiaoran, you don’t have to worry about me.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “I’m just reminding you not to do anything illegal. Otherwise, even an immortal won’t be able to save you. Also, the old and young of the Li family are all protecting you now. When things reach an extreme, they will reverse. If you suffer a backlash one day, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
Second Brother Li Tinglei immediately fell into deep thought.
The eldest brother snorted and ignored Huo Xiaoran.
Huo Xiaoran could only keep quiet.
Li Tingfeng was very smug when he saw that everyone was supporting him.
“Huo Xiaoran, Qiao An, go back. You’re not welcome in this family. As for my daughter, Ze’en, you don’t have to worry about her in the future.”
Huo Xiaoran’s handsome face was very ugly. Perhaps he could turn a blind eye when he had suffered unfair treatment alone. But now that he had a family and a career, how could he tolerate Qiao An being neglected with him?
Huo Xiaoran’s face darkened and he said, “Li Tingfeng, I think you won’t cry until you see the coffin. To tell you the truth, I’ve already figured out Boss Guo’s background. He was in the illegal business a few years ago. If you cooperate with him, you’ll be swallowed by him sooner or later.”
The teacup in Li Tingfeng’s hand suddenly trembled and the tea splashed. He finally panicked.
Huo Xiaoran did not answer his question and only warned the Li family, “Humans die for wealth, and birds die for food. You can choose to sink with him. When the building collapses, please don’t tell anyone that I, Huo Xiaoran, was once your brother. I find it embarrassing.”
With that, Huo Xiaoran pulled Qiao An out.
The Li family’s lobby instantly fell silent.
The Li family, which was originally enveloped in joy, instantly fell into panic.
The Second Madam was someone who lived a small life. She immediately held Li Tinglei’s hand and begged, “Hubby, we don’t want to be rich. You should stay away from Third Brother in the future.”
Li Tinglei nodded rationally.
The boss loved money, but he was also a little hesitant at this moment.
He looked at Li Tingfeng in a daze. “Third Brother, tell me honestly, do you know anything about that Boss Guo?”
Li Tingfeng did not answer his question directly and only said helplessly, “Aiya, Big Brother, don’t believe Fourth Brother’s words. He’s just jealous that we’re rich and afraid that we’ll suppress him. That’s why he fabricated those words to lie to us. Hmph, anyway, I won’t give up such a rare opportunity to get rich.”
The eldest thought for a moment. “Third Brother, I believe you.”
