Li Zecheng was helpless against Wei Xin and decided to go all out. “I’ll go home now and get my household register so we can get married. Is that enough?”
Wei Xin knew that she would not be recognized by the old man, so she became nervous again. “Will Grandpa give you the household register?”
Li Zecheng looked at her incredulously and said, “You used those moves that forced me just now. Are you afraid that Grandpa won’t agree?”
Wei Xin blushed and fell silent.
She was overjoyed that Li Zecheng had finally agreed to marry her.
She didn’t expect Qiao An’s scheme to work.
Li Zecheng drove Wei Xin back to the Li family villa. Coincidentally, several elders came home at the same time today. Even his uncle, Li Xiaoran, who was never home, came back.
The elders sat on the sofa, and the atmosphere was tense.
The old man glared at Li Xiaoran and berated, “Tell me, what’s going on between you and Huo Zhou?”
Li Xiaoran had a calm expression on his face. When he spoke, his voice was as gentle as ever. “He’s my superior. That’s all.”
The old man said aggressively, “Superior? Li Xiaoran, don’t try to fool me. Didn’t you tell Zecheng that you want to change your surname to Huo in the future? Tell me honestly, are you in a gay relationshipwith Huo Zhou?”
Li Xiaoran looked at Li Zecheng sharply. “How did you pass the message to the old man? Why did your grandfather misunderstand?”
Li Zecheng was jealous of Li Xiaoran for forcing him to go bankrupt. He added fuel to the fire and said, “You and Huo Zhou have your arms around each other’s shoulders. I can smell the homosexuality from afar, and you still want to quibble?”
Li Xiaoran was speechless. In order to clear his normal sexual orientation, Li Xiaoran threw out a heavy message. “Dad, I’m going to marry Lu Mo.”
Everyone in the room was pleasantly surprised.
Li Tingye said, “Xiaoran, this is really a good relationship. If you marry Lu Mo, Jinghang Hospital will belong to us. In the future, the Li family’s sales channel will have a stable big customer like Jinghang Hospital. It will be a prosperous source of wealth.”
The old man and old lady nodded happily.
Li Xiaoran poured a bucket of cold water on him and said, “Brother, have you forgotten that I’m working in the Huo family now? If Jinghang Hospital wants to cooperate, it must be with the Huo family.”
The old master was so angry that he overturned his teacup. “Li Xiaoran, you’re siding with outsiders. Don’t forget that you’re a member of the Li family. Only when the Li family prospers will you have food to eat.”
Li Xiaoran looked at the old man calmly. “Dad, have you forgotten that I don’t have any shares in the Li family? Whether the Li family prospers or not, I won’t get any benefits.”
Li Tingye hurriedly said, “Xiaoran, introduce Jinghang Hospital to the Li family. We will give you a large sum of money.”
Li Xiaoran laughed sarcastically.
“Big Brother, do you think I’m the Li family’s salesperson?”
Li Tingye explained awkwardly, “Xiaoran, how can you compare yourself to a salesperson? If a salesperson gets us business, we will at most give him tens of thousands of dollars as a bonus. As for you, you will definitely have hundreds of thousands to millions.”
Li Xiaoran picked up the tea and swirled it leisurely. His beautiful eyes outlined a faint smile. That smile was bright, but it seemed to see through the darkness in others’ hearts.
“Do you really think I’m a poor doctor?”
Old Master Li looked at him coldly. “Xiaoran, a million is not a small number.”
Li Xiaoran said, “If I introduce Jinghang Hospital to any medical corporation, they will give me better treatment than the Li family.”
Old Master Li was embarrassed and forced a smile. “Xiaoran, now that you’re with Huo Zhou, your appetite has increased. You have to understand the Li family’s difficulties. In the past few years, the Li family’s benefits have not been as good as before.”
Old Master Li was too stubborn and started playing the emotional card.
The other brothers immediately acted pitiful. “Yes, Xiaoran, you have to understand our difficulties.”
Li Xiaoran stood up. “Let’s talk about this later.”
Old Master Li and the others were especially unhappy that they failed to snatch the fat piece of business with Jinghang Hospital.
Li Xiaoran walked straight to Li Zecheng. He was especially concerned about Li Zecheng’s marriage.
“I heard that you and Qiao An registered your divorce today. Did it go smoothly?”
Li Zecheng muttered with a dark expression, “Uncle, do you want to care about me or Qiao An?”
Li Xiaoran and Li Zecheng had always been domineeringly in charge of talking. He only asked the questions he wanted to know and ignored Li Zecheng’s questions.
“Since you’re going to divorce Qiao An, why did you bring Wei Xin? To cause trouble for Qiao An?” Li Xiaoran asked again.
Li Zecheng was furious.
“What’s it to you?”
Li Xiaoran had his hands in his pockets. Seeing that Li Zecheng was angry, he smiled and provoked him. “Since you brought your first love to the Civil Affairs Bureau, why didn’t you register your marriage with her? It seems that you don’t love her that much?”
Li Zecheng completely broke down. Not to be outdone, he retorted, “Uncle, did you think that Qiao An would find you to get back together after I divorced her? You didn’t expect it, did you? She would rather find another lover than you.”
Li Xiaoran’s smile turned cold.
“What did you say? Qiao An… has a new boyfriend?” Although he repeatedly convinced himself to let Qiao An go and let her live the life she wanted,
However, after he learned Qiao An really found a boyfriend, Li Xiaoran realized that his heart was very uncomfortable.
1
It was as if someone had poured a large jar of old vinegar into his mouth, making him feel suffocated.
Li Zecheng added fuel to the fire. “He was her boyfriend just now, but now, they should have registered their marriage. Uncle, Qiao An is a married woman again. You have no chance.”

Li Xiaoran felt as if his heart had missed a few beats and the entire world had stopped moving. His brain also stopped functioning at that moment.
After a while, Li Xiaoran staggered away.
It was rare for Li Zecheng to win. He smiled smugly.
At this moment, Wei Xin tugged at his sleeve, indicating for him to ask his grandfather for the household register.
Li Zecheng walked up to the old man timidly and begged, “Grandpa, Qiao An and I are already divorced. You know that Wei Xin is pregnant with my child. I want to marry her and give the child a complete family. I hope Grandpa can fulfill my wish.”
Old Master Li snorted and looked at Wei Xin with disdain. “Li Zecheng, Qiao An is a top student from a famous university. You abandoned such a smart wife and found such a foolish person. You will suffer in the future.”
Wei Xin bit her lip, dissatisfied with the old man’s contempt for her. However, she pretended to be weak and said with tears in her eyes, “Brother Zecheng, since Grandpa doesn’t like me, I… won’t pester you anymore. I’ll hit the child later. Our relationship will end here.”
The old man frowned and scolded coldly, “Wei Xin, who taught you this move?”
Wei Xin trembled in fear.
After a long pause, she said, “It’s Qiao An.”
Old Master Li glared at Li Zecheng. “Do you know why Qiao An wants to fulfill your wish?”
