Mr. Li was silent for a moment and said: "That night, she and I, two frustrated people, talked to each other about their respective predicaments. I told her that I was bankrupt, my wife was pregnant, and I couldn't see her. And Ping'er
Said, she has money, lots and lots of money. She can help me get through this difficult time."
The wife was disappointed and said: "So in order to thank her, you stayed with her."
Mr. Li was a little embarrassed: "Madam, I was already in my early forties at that time and could be Ping'er's father. How could I have any undue thoughts about her? Even if I had unreasonable thoughts about her, Ping'er's
Son, how can you think highly of me? She is the daughter of the Huo family."
The wife was surprised: "You knew her identity at that time?"
The old man said: "I don't know. But looking at her living habits, you can tell that she comes from a famous family."
Huo Xiaoran asked: "Why did my mommy commit suicide?"
The old man glanced at the persistent Huo Xiaoran, sighed and continued: "At that time, your mother had just fallen out of love. It seems that her first love abandoned her and turned around to marry her best friend."
At this time, I don't know if the junior was fascinated by what he heard, and said in confusion: "Isn't it just a broken love? You can't commit suicide for a scumbag, right?"
Mr. Li said: "Looking at Xiaoran's dedication to love, you know that his mother is also a dedicated person in love. Furthermore, Ping'er was hit hard at that time, not only by her boyfriend who didn't want her.
But she... is still pregnant with a child."
This news was like a bombshell, making everyone look at each other.
"Whose child is fourth brother?" Li Tingfeng asked excitedly.
Mr. Li waved his hand to signal him not to interrupt.
"That night, we listened to each other's stories. We sympathized with each other for being forced into a corner by life. Then she said to me: Uncle, can I make a deal with you?"
"I don't know why, but I just felt that this infatuated girl should not be in such a situation. So I agreed to her proposal. But her suggestion was too shocking. She wanted me to be the father of her child. She said that like me
There are not many men who love their wives and are responsible for their families. She feels gratified that such a man can be the father of her children. And I can get her strong financial injection."
When my wife heard this, she was a little unbelievable.
"You agreed?"
"Can I not agree? If I don't agree, she is finished and the family is finished. In that case, I have no choice but to agree."
The wife closed her eyes and burst into tears.
"Then what happened next? Did you still fall in love?" the wife asked reluctantly.
She was probably unwilling to accept that she had completely misunderstood Xiaoran's mother. She was unwilling to accept that the mistake she made was a misunderstanding of her benefactor.
The old man said: "Madam, Ping'er and I go in and out together. It's not that I have an ambiguous relationship with her. It's that I am incompetent about the company's difficulties, but she is a business genius. It was Ping'er who pointed me out.
I got out of the predicament step by step."
"In return for her, I must cooperate with her in acting and be the father of her children. In those years, I saw you jealous of her and framed her, and I felt extremely sad."
"Why don't you confess to me?" The wife burst into tears. "Why did you let me misunderstand her?"
Mr. Li said: "Ping'er won't let me. She said that if you know the truth, you will definitely clarify our relationship with the people around you. This will cause her a lot of trouble."
The wife was silent.
To be fair, Ping'er was right. At that time, she was a woman who did not have much wealth. Especially when she heard the gossip around her, she was eager to clear up the dirty water for the old man.
Huo Xiaoran slumped on the chair.
He never dreamed that he was not a child of the Li family.
Mr. Li looked at Xiaoran very ashamed and said: "Xiaoran, I'm very sorry. As your father, I'm really unqualified. I wanted to treat you well, just like I would treat my own child. But your mother is here
When we were young, she asked me to be nice to my children. After she left, I was afraid that my wife and several adult sons would make things difficult for you, so I didn’t dare to be nice to you. You have had a very difficult time these years."
Huo Xiaoran shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"If what you said is true, then you are indeed a good father. I don't blame you."
Mr. Li said: "Just keep the Tengyun Group. It is not the property of the Li family. It is an investment your mother made for you during her lifetime. Now, I am just returning to you what she gave you as a gift." Huo Xiaoran was silent.
Mr. Li said: "Now that you know the truth, I respect you whether you want to isolate yourself from the Li family or not."
But the wife suddenly walked up to Huo Xiaoran, and then knelt down in front of Huo Xiaoran with a thud.
"Mom..." The second and third children looked at this scene in shock.
The wife said to Xiaoran: "I think it is still necessary for me to apologize to you. I know that you have always been worried about your mother's death. Yes, her death was directly related to me. I accidentally heard that she had
She suffered from mental illness, so I deliberately curry favor with her and added hallucinogenic drugs to her meals. I think it was because of her taking those drugs that her mental disorder worsened and she reached a point of no return."
"Xiaoran, I was wrong. I apologize to you. But I did this alone, and your brothers really didn't know about it. The most they could do was take it out on her and beat and scold her. I hope you let go
Pass them. After all, your mother pretended to be a mistress. This behavior has really caused them a lot of harm."
Huo Xiaoran looked at his wife expressionlessly. In fact, the thing happened so suddenly that his mind was blank at the moment.
Qiao An squeezed his hand tightly, and his hand was cold. Qiao An was very worried, worried that he would not be able to bear the blow and his mental illness would relapse.
She squatted in front of him, like a docile and cute rabbit, trying to make him happy: "Brother Xiaoran, don't be sad. Everything has passed. You still have me, and I will always be by your side."
Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An, and suddenly her emotions collapsed. He hugged Qiao An tightly, buried his head in her chest, and sobbed.
Qiao An gently touched his head. "Cry, it will make you feel better."
At this time, Mr. Li shouted to his sons: "You guys, come here and kneel too."
Li Tingfeng felt embarrassed. After all, they were all older than Xiaoran, so he knelt down to Xiaoran and felt embarrassed.
However, the wife also scolded them: "Kneel down."
At this time, Li Zecheng came over first and knelt down straight up.
Then, everyone in the three rooms knelt in front of Huo Xiaoran.
Li Tingfeng said: "Xiaoran, although my mother did bad things to your mother, your mother also hurt my mother. I hope you can forget the past."
Qiao An felt Huo Xiaoran's entanglement and pain. At this moment, Huo Xiaoran had no intention of pursuing his wife's criminal responsibility.
But Li Tingfeng spoke in such an aggressive tone, which made Qiao An very unhappy.
"My mother-in-law has been kind to the Li family, and the harm she caused to my wife is a moral flaw. But the harm my mother-in-law did to my mother-in-law is a criminal case. This code is the same code. How can they be compared?"
