Chapter 579 - 579 Reality Returned Too Late
579 Reality Returned Too Late
The old man’s retribution came especially quickly. Ever since he changed his will and maximized the Li family’s interests, the Li brothers’ attitude towards him had become extremely cold.
The service of three meals a day was no longer so exquisite, and there was no considerate companionship. He was like an abandoned doll, lying in bed all day, leaving only his brain still working.
He sobered and finally realized that he had done something very wrong. He had squeezed his value dry and dedicated it all to his descendants. And he was no longer useful. He had been abandoned by his descendants.
The old man cried.
At this moment, he began to miss Huo Xiaoran. He really wanted Huo Xiaoran to come and see him. He wanted to complain to him about the ruthlessness of the descendants of the Li family. He also wanted to support Huo Xiaoran.
But it was too late.
For a long time, Huo Xiaoran did not come.
That day, the old man asked the butler with mixed feelings, “Does Huo Xiaoran hate me?”
The butler sighed repeatedly. “Master, you’re really muddle-headed. You’ve lived your entire life. Can’t you see the character of your unfilial descendants? Now, your sons are afraid that you’ll contact the outside world and change your will, so they imprisoned us in this invisible backyard.”
Tears streamed down the old man’s face.
“Butler, find a way to contact Xiaoran. I want to apologize to him.”
“I’ll do my best.”
When Huo Xiaoran found out that the shares of the Soaring Cloud Group had already become Li Zecheng’s, he was very angry.
He was not angry at the loss of his assets, but at the fact that the old man had shamelessly given to his descendants what his mother had left him.
The old man’s actions instantly made Huo Xiaoran’s last bit of pity for him fade.
When Qiao An found out that the foundation that Xiao Ran had painstakingly built might be destroyed because she had used someone inappropriately, she fainted.
“An’an.”
Huo Xiaoran picked Qiao An up in a panic and rushed out as quickly as possible.
Father Qiao was pale with fear. That was when his brain stopped working and he became at a loss.
Falcon was the only one who remained conscious. He drove out as quickly as he could and caught up to Xiaoran, who was running hard.
“Xiaoran, get in the car.”
Huo Xiaoran carried An’an into the car and Falcon drove as fast as he could.
Soon, the car arrived at the hospital.
Huo Xiaoran sent Qiao An to the emergency room as quickly as possible. Soon, all the relatives of the Huo family appeared in the hospital.
The old lady asked anxiously, “What’s wrong with An’an? Why did she suddenly faint?”
The old man said, “An’an is a good wife that only appears once in a hundred years. Our Huo family has to save An’an no matter what the price is.”
Xiao Ran stood outside the emergency room dejectedly and paced back and forth. His face was filled with nervousness.
Huo Zhou was very worried about Xiaoran. “Xiaoran, don’t worry. An’an will be fine.”
Xiaoran looked at Huo Zhou and clenched his fists. He gritted her teeth and said angrily, “Zhou Zhou, An’an was angered by that bastard Li Zecheng. So in the future, no one should mention the company’s terrible matters in front of Qiao An again, lest she worries.”
Huo Zhou said, “Okay, I’ll remind them later.”
A sinister sneer appeared on Huo Xiaoran’s handsome face. “Li Zecheng, just you wait.”
Huo Zhou returned the favor. “I’ve long disliked that guy. I didn’t expect him to be so bad. He lied to you and An’an with sweet words and returned kindness with ingratitude. He’s really too much. Xiaoran, I’ll cooperate fully with you to save the Angel Group.”
Xiao Ran nodded.
The emergency room door opened and the doctor walked out.
“Xiaoran,” the doctor said with a solemn expression, “I suspect that there are other causes of illness in Qiao An’s body. Therefore, a full-body examination is needed.”
“Okay.” Huo Xiaoran nodded.
Soon, Qiao An’s test results came back. From the scan, she had breast nodules.
Huo Xiaoran’s face darkened.
The doctor said, “Look at the edge of the nodules in this scan. The possibility of malignancy is very high. Xiaoran, you have to be mentally prepared.”
Xiao Ran almost collapsed. It was Huo Zhou who helped him up in time.
Next, a more detailed biopsy of Qiao An’s body was required.
This way, he wouldn’t be able to hide the condition from Qiao An.
Qiao An woke up quickly. Her heart sank when she learned that she was going for a biopsy.
She was not so worried about herself, but more worried about Xiaoran.
After all, the company had been in troubled times recently. In addition, she was sick. She was afraid that the fragile Xiaoran would not be able to withstand such an unexpected change.
When Xiaoran came to her side, Qiao An held his hand and comforted him. “Brother Xiaoran, don’t be sad.”
Huo Xiaoran hugged her gently and cried like a child.
“An’an, it’s all my fault for not taking good care of you. Dad is right. I’m your jinx. Because of me, your health is getting worse and worse.”
Qiao An patted his back gently. “What nonsense are you talking about? There’s no scientific basis for those words. Don’t take it to heart.”
Xiao Ran said, “No, it’s me. Your illness is caused by depression and poor immunity. You had a blood transfusion, were tricked into marriage by that bastard Li Zecheng, and were even bullied by Lu Mo. I brought all your disasters to you.”
Qiao An held Xiaoran’s face and told him solemnly, “Brother Xiaoran, even if you brought me this bad luck, I don’t regret meeting you at all. You have to pull yourself together. Look, I’ve lost my happiness and health, so you have to take care of your own well-being. Only then will I not dote on you in vain.”
“I don’t want to. An’an, I only want you.”
Qiao An’s eyes were red.
Xiao Ran’s fragility and collapse made her heart ache.
...
The couple hugged each other tightly.
Outside the door, the others silently wiped their tears.
Before the biopsy results came out, Qiao An and Xiao Ran returned home.
Xiao Ran finally understood why Qiao An had not been able to manage the company well in the past few years. Because at this moment, he was also experiencing Qiao An’s pain.
It was the feeling of the sky falling. He didn’t want to do anything but stay with Qiao An.
Qiao An knew that he was in a bad mood, but she was not too happy for him to accompany her. This way, Xiaoran would sink into pain and not be able to walk out.
Hence, Qiao An said to Huo Xiaoran, “Brother Xiaoran, go to the company to work. If you don’t earn money, where will you get the money to treat me?”
Huo Xiaoran knew her intentions, but he also began to think about Qiao An’s words.
He was the head of the family. He had an obligation to give Qiao An a happy life.
Hence, Huo Xiaoran began to take the time to go to the company.
