Chapter 361: Getting Qiao An to Help
Just as they were about to draw their swords, Huo Xiaoran and a doctor came in for a routine checkup.
Seeing Li Tingfeng, Huo Xiaoran was clearly stunned.
Then, Huo Xiaoran walked up to him and said, “Third Brother, you’re finally here. There’s something I want to tell you. It’s very likely that Third Sister-in-law fell off the building because of someone, so I suggest you call the police.”
Li Tingfeng was petrified.
“Man-made? How is that possible?”
Li Ze’en pointed at the mistress angrily. “It must be her. She pushed my mother down the stairs. She has a motive to kill my mother. Because if my mother dies, she can smoothly take over.”
The woman argued impatiently, “Don’t slander me. Although I don’t like your mother and expect her to divorce your father quickly, I never expected her to die.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Li Tingfeng faintly. “Third Brother, should we call the police?”
Li Tingfeng stared at Third Madam with a dark expression, confusion flashing across his eyes.
Third Madam looked at him with a smile. That smile was filled with scheming, making Li Tingfeng’s blood run cold.
“Xiaoran, your third sister-in-law has no grudge with anyone. Who would attack her? I think Madam should have accidentally fallen.”
Beads of sweat had already seeped out of Li Tingfeng’s forehead.
Huo Xiaoran smiled in understanding.
“Should we call the police? Third Brother can think about it himself.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
After the doctor finished examining Third Madam, he began to discuss with Huo Xiaoran.
“Doctor Li, your third sister-in-law’s injuries might still be healed. However, I’m afraid Doctor Li will have to personally perform a few surgeries on her.”
Huo Xiaoran glanced at Third Madam coldly and said, “The surgery is risky. I haven’t held a knife in a long time. Let’s find someone else.”
Third Madam knew that Huo Xiaoran was just making up an excuse. Because she had once hurt Qiao An, Huo Xiaoran hated her. He would never personally act as the chief surgeon for her.
She closed her eyes in despair.
After Huo Xiaoran and the doctor left, Li Tingfeng mocked Third Madam, “Look, you’re so evil that even a chivalrous person like Fourth Brother is unwilling to help you.”
Li Ze’en scolded Li Tingfeng angrily, “No matter what, as a doctor, Uncle didn’t use his position to take revenge. He also seriously evaluated Mom’s injuries and helped the other doctors make the correct diagnosis. Compared to the Li family’s heartlessness to him, Uncle has already done so much for us.”
Her words immediately relieved Third Madam.
“Ze’en is right. Fourth Brother has done what he could.”
Li Tingfeng sneered. “You’re quite tolerant of him.”
Li Ze’en had special feelings for Huo Xiaoran. Perhaps it was because Huo Xiaoran had always been the person she admired. He was upright, selfless, independent, and outstanding. Ever since she was young, Ze’en had idolized Huo Xiaoran.
Because of this respect and admiration, she could not accept others belittling Huo Xiaoran. She said fiercely to Li Tingfeng, “Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and get lost. My mother doesn’t want to see you.”
Li Tingfeng’s face darkened. His daughter, who had once respected him in every way, now despised him as much as her mother and brother did.
Li Tingfeng felt a little suffocated and disappointed. He turned and left sadly.
The mistress walked to the door. Perhaps in order not to waste her trip, she suddenly turned around and warned Li Ze’en, “Li Ze’en, stay away from my daughter in the future. If you dare to approach her again, I will definitely call the police.”
Third Madam smiled evilly. “If you dare to hurt my daughter, I promise I’ll make you bankrupt.”
It was rare for Li Tingfeng not to argue with Third Madam. Instead, he softened his tone and said earnestly, “We’re family. Why make things so ugly? Don’t worry, I’ll redistribute the assets. Ze’en and Zecheng will be included.”
Third Madam’s lips curled into an evil sneer.
“Li Tingfeng, return all the assets you transferred. Otherwise, you know what will happen to you.”
Li Tingfeng glared at her fiercely but did not argue. He just pulled the woman away.
After walking out of the ward, the woman questioned Li Tingfeng angrily, “Why did you give them assets? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t?”
Li Tingfeng looked troubled. “Alright, she’s already paralyzed. Why lower yourself to her level? Anyway, I won’t give her much.”
The woman fell silent.
Old Master Li had been hospitalized for half a month and more or less felt some unusual vibes. For example, the people from the third branch did not visit him for a long time. Under his interrogation, the second son could only tell the truth about the chaos in the third branch.
The old man almost fainted from anger again.
“How unfortunate for the family.”
The second son comforted the old man. “Dad, don’t worry about the third branch. The children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You need to rest and recuperate.”
The old man still looked worried.
“Ninety-nine years old,” he said with emotion.
There was silence for a moment, then he made an outrageous decision.
“Second, go get Qiao An. I want to see her.”
Second Brother looked puzzled.
The old man explained, “Perhaps only Qiao An can turn hostility into friendship.”
Second Brother smiled and said, “Dad, you think too highly of Qiao An. In my opinion, no one can crack the third branch’s mess.”
The old man looked at his second son and shook his head. “Back then, Qiao An single-handedly ruined Li Zecheng’s reputation and even took back Li Zecheng’s assets. Her intelligence is unparalleled.”
The second son said, “She’s smart, but she’s also scheming and terrifying. Dad, don’t forget that she was clearly pregnant with Xiaoran’s child back then, but she fooled our Li family.”
Old Master Li glanced at Second Brother and said, “Don’t just notice the aggressive things Qiao An did to the Li family. You have to know that Li Zecheng was the one who scammed her into the marriage, Li Zecheng was the one who betrayed the marriage, and your third sister-in-law was the one who bullied her. Qiao An has suffered so much, but you still won’t allow her to uphold justice for herself?”
Second Brother was stunned.
The old man’s words enlightened him.
“Dad is right. She doesn’t have a soft personality. When she was bullied, hitting Zecheng was a form of self-defense. I was narrow-minded.”
The old man said, “Now, I hope she can let bygones be bygones and use her wisdom to help the third branch stop the war.”
Second Brother said, “I’m afraid she may not be willing to help.”
The old man said, “So when you invite her, you have to be sincere.”
Second Brother sighed. “Then I’ll try.”
Li Tinglei asked his wife to buy some high-quality gifts for Qiao An, then brought his wife to visit the Heavenly Imperial Garden for the first time.
Qiao An was stunned to see them.
“Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law?”
Seeing the gifts they were carrying, Qiao An understood.
