Chapter 15: Like Father, Like Son
e met Li An that misfortune would follow, but she never expected him to ruin her reputation in less than a day. From the moment she entered Anyi International this morning, everything was destined to...Chapter 15: Like Father, Like Son
After hearing Li Haonan's words, Gu Xiaobei stood there motionless, only looking at him coldly.
This man was still as ruthless and heartless as always; she had merely been blinded by his intense affection. It was too hard to expect him to be considerate of others!
"Wife, you look rather scary." The icy-hearted tycoon Li Haonan felt a little uneasy being stared at by his wife. Gu Xiaobei's gaze was terrifying, as if he had committed some grave error.
Gu Xiaobei took a deep breath; her voice sounded oddly hoarse. "Li Haonan, I wonder why your two sons are such scoundrels, so heartless and cruel They're actually just like you! They’re exactly the same as how you were when you were young!"
"I… What’s wrong with me Besides, they haven't done anything that utterly defies conscience, have they" Li Haonan innocently rubbed his big hands. Over these years, he had managed to solve any problems thrown at him, but the only thing that left him clueless was his little wife, especially when she refused to be reasonable.
"Do you think what Li An and Li Yi did to Luo Xi back then was a trivial matter!" Gu Xiaobei's eyes suddenly filled with tears as she spoke bitterly. "Have you ever thought about how old Luo Xi was at the time She was only sixteen or seventeen, still just a child, forced into submission by your younger son’s threats and intimidation. She endured his bullying silently."
Gu Xiaobei felt immeasurable guilt; she truly didn’t deserve to be called an aunt by that child.
"Think about it, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, unless she's driven to the brink and has no other choice, how could she ever think of running away from home How could she choose to be alone and漂泊在外, rather than return to the Li family, which is as prosperous as heaven"
Lǐ Huònán was speechless when questioned by Yán Luòxī. Actually, he had nothing to do with this matter. But seeing his wife crying from anger, he dared not argue back.
The more he tried to explain himself, the angrier she would get. If she wanted to vent her anger or even strike someone, let her do it; he would endure it.
In matters of love, no matter how domineering and self-important a person is, they become humble. Lǐ Huònán did not deny that he had become humble in front of Gù Xiǎoběi. Who could blame him for loving her
When it comes to love, whoever loves deeply ends up being the one who loses.
"Luòxī was driven away secretly by Lǐ n and endured countless hardships to finally enter university. Heaven blessed her, allowing her to reunite with Zhōu Guǎngtāo. Just as their love began to bloom, she encountered your devilish son full of devious schemes."
When Gù Xiǎoběi described Lǐ n in this way, Lǐ Huònán couldn't help but sneer inwardly, thinking that without her, would he even have been able to bear a child Even if Lǐ n's mind is full of schemes, they were born with them.
While his thoughts might be one thing, he must wear an expression of grief and regret on his face, fully cooperating in actions with his little wife.
Gù Xiǎoběi could still see through Lǐ Huònán's pretense despite being an old couple. The more she looked at him, the angrier she got. She turned around, grabbed the dazzling chain from the couch, and pulled out half a box of迷香from the door frame: "Open your eyes and take a good look! What kind of beastly things has your son done to Luòxī!"
Lǐ Hào Nán looked at the golden chain on the ground and thought, It seems that his son is really willing to spend money on Yán Luò Xī. Gold is so expensive now; how much would it cost to make such a thick and long gold chain
"Mr. Lǐ, what are your thoughts" Gù Xiǎo Běi kicked the golden chain with his foot, producing a crisp sound of 'swish.'
Lǐ Hào Nán was startled and blurted out, "This chain must be worth quite a bit!"
"Lǐ Hào Nán!" Gù Xiǎo Běi's eyes turned red with anger. "What are you thinking How did I end up marrying you If it weren't for you, how could such an immoral son come into being"
"Wife, don’t be upset! Wife, please calm down!" Lǐ Hào Nán hurriedly came forward to comfort Gù Xiǎo Běi. Stretching out his long arm, he embraced her small body and patted her back gently. "I’m the one at fault. I feel guilty. Don’t get angry anymore. Rest assured; I will surely discipline Lǐ n again later and see if he still dares to come up with such evil plans."
His expression turned cold, his deep voice sounding very indifferent, as though he was truly going to beat Lǐ n severely.
Who are you putting on a show for
Gù Xiǎo Běi pushed Lǐ Hào Nán away with disgust and gave a heavy cold snort: "Why should I hit Lǐ n Like father, like son; if only we had known how important genetics were, we wouldn’t have had any children!"
Lǐ Hào Nán smiled bitterly. What does she mean by this Does she want me to hurt myself
His face contorted as he looked at Gu Xiaobei, who was full of emotions, with difficulty. He sighed and spread his hands out, feeling helpless and resigned: "Xiaobei, you can't generalize everything. Li An is still young and has been spoiled, so naturally he acts arrogantly and capriciously, but our Li Yi is different…"
“Li Yi!” Gu Xiaobei wiped away the tears that had welled up from anger. If not for Li Haonan reminding her, she would have forgotten all about this. Now that it was mentioned, she remembered that this child was even more hateful.
Gritting her teeth, Gu Xiaobei shouted: "That eldest son of yours is even worse! He's always smiling and looks gentle on the surface, but he has cunning thoughts and a sinister nature deep down."
Back then, when Li An did something to Yan Luoxi, Li Yi knew about it. Later on, after seeing that Yan Luoxi had run away from home, not only did he not stop her, he even told a perfect lie in front of us and said that Luoxi was taken by her mother!
Do you see how wicked this child is He watched with his own eyes as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl wandered around the world...
"Our son isn't that bad!" Li Haonan couldn't help but defend Li Yi: "Earlier, I asked Li Yi. Although he didn't stop Luoxi from running away, he didn’t abandon her either. He arranged for someone to secretly protect her. When she fell ill later on, it was him who quietly arranged the hospital stay for her. And when Luoxi applied for college, it was his doing behind the scenes.
Otherwise, how could a naive sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl like her survive without a scratch in society for half a year How could she take the entrance exam in Beijing and smoothly enter university with no social experience
Xiaobei, do you know how strict out-of-area college entrance exams are now There are so many kids from other places who want to take the exam in Beijing, but it's like climbing to heaven...
Seeing that Li Haonan still had energy to seriously talk about out-of-area college entrance exams with her and defend Li Yi indirectly made Yan Luoxi livid. She raised her fist and hit him: "Li Haonan, Li Haonan! What state are these two sons of yours in, yet you're still defending them like this!"acefully in the villa with Shao Junhe.In the morning, Shao Junhe would prepare breakfast along with the staff, then take Yan Luoxi for a walk at the orchard. After having lunch together, Yan Luoxi wou...
