Father and Son Meet
Old Master Lu walked up to Falcon shakily. The two of them sized each other up steadily and then cried at the same time. Falcon suddenly called out hoarsely, “Dad.”
He pounced on Old Master Lu and hugged him tightly.
Old Master Lu cried tears of joy. “I really didn’t expect to see you again in my lifetime. Lu Ze, why haven’t you contacted Dad all these years?”
Lu Ze cried and choked. “Dad, I’m sorry. I was unfilial. I made you worry. Actually, after I graduated from university, I paid attention to you from time to time until you settled overseas. Only then did I slowly lose contact. Fortunately, my Xiaoran helped me find you again.”
The father and son hugged each other and cried.
Qiao An felt a lump in her throat. Perhaps to ease the sad atmosphere, Qiao An suddenly said, “Dad is just a child in Grandpa’s eyes.”
These words quickly relieved the old man’s sadness. Falcon pulled Qiao An and Xiaoran to the old man and said proudly, “Dad, this is your grandson, a hero who destroyed the entire bandit group alone. This is your granddaughter-in-law. An’an is a heroine who stays at home and safeguards the country. I, Lu Ze, don’t have anything in my life, but the children I give birth to are strong. He has good taste.”
Qiao An was embarrassed by the praise.
“Dad, how can you praise your daughter-in-law like this?”
Falcon said, “Aiya, I just don’t have much ink in my stomach. An’an, you deserve any more praise. Look at you. Not only are you beautiful and kind, but you also write good articles and can fool the bandits.”
Falcon said to Old Master Lu, “Dad, my in-law knows how to teach children. I’ll bring you to meet my knowledgeable in-law another day.”
Old Master Lu wiped his tears of happiness and said, “As long as you’re fine and healthy, I’ll do anything you want.”
At this moment, Lu Yu shouted excitedly, “Brother.”
Falcon turned around and hugged Lu Yu.
“Brother. I haven’t seen you for so many years. How are you?”
Lu Yu said, “I’m fine. I just couldn’t fulfill my promise to Big Brother and let Mom and Dad retire in peace in their old age. I’m not talented, so Dad has been working hard for the Lu family’s company. Brother, now that you’re back, you have to help me. I’m really not talented in managing the company.”
Huo Xiaoran sized up his second uncle. Actually, he had long heard that this second uncle was once a legend in the business world. Otherwise, the Lu family would not have developed so quickly.
Falcon said, “It’s not like you don’t know that I’m not interested in the company.”
“Then let Xiaoran come back and help me.”
Falcon said, “Let Xiaoran off. Let Xiaoran and An’an live a few stable days.”
Lu Yu sighed.
Huo Xiaoran had friends everywhere and his career was flourishing. Therefore, he attracted the jealousy of some people.
On this day, Li Zecheng sat in the office of the Li Kang Corporation and imagined himself showing off after the Li Kang Corporation and the Lu Corporation cooperated.
His assistant ran over in a hurry and said in fear, “CEO.”
“Why are you so flustered?” Li Zecheng frowned unhappily. He did not like his assistant disturbing his dream.
The assistant said fearfully, “Today, the banquet organized by the Huo family is trending.”
Li Zecheng was shocked when he heard this. Only then did he remember that today was the family banquet held by Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran.
He quickly took out his phone and opened the trending searches.
The trending searches read: Tribute to a harmonious marriage that makes my incomplete life perfect!
From Huo Xiaoran’s perspective, the reporters described Qiao An’s appearance as a rainbow in Huo Xiaoran’s life.
Such love was something to talk about.
Li Zecheng felt very upset. At that time, he thought angrily that if only Qiao An hadn’t been there back then, Huo Xiaoran wouldn’t have been as arrogant as he was today.
However, what dealt Li Zecheng a greater blow was not that he had lost to Huo Xiaoran in love, but that his career had been ruined.
This was because the trending topic actually said that the Angel Group had developed a new product in the shortest time in history. His genius ability was unanimously praised by the industry.
What made Li Zecheng even more disheartened was that this family banquet was also a meeting for Huo Xiaoran to acknowledge his roots, and Old Master Lu, his backer, was actually Huo Xiaoran’s grandfather.
Li Zecheng felt a chill run down his spine. He fell onto the sofa dejectedly.
That day, when he got off work, he seemed to have heard the employees around him quietly commenting on him.
“Do you know? The CEO will probably suffer retribution for betraying the Angel Group. The big shot who has been working with our Li Kang recently is actually someone from our rival company.”
“The CEO fought desperately, but in the end, it was just a dream.”
“Maybe this is his life.”
“You can’t be too greedy, let alone forget your roots.”
Li Zecheng staggered and left the company in a hurry.
When he returned to the Li family villa, his eldest uncle and second uncle did not welcome him kindly as usual.
As the two aunts lowered their heads, their expressions were indescribable.
Li Zecheng’s mother and sister looked at him worriedly.
Huang Yushu sighed and said, “Zecheng, you must have seen the trending topic. The Lu family you tried your best to curry favor with is actually Xiaoran’s main family. Hehe, this is probably fate. The Li family has tried its best to snatch what belongs to Xiaoran, but the heavens favor Huo Xiaoran.”
Li Ze’en said, “Perhaps this is the logic of good deeds being rewarded.”
Li Ze’en looked at Li Zecheng dejectedly. “Brother, Qiao An told us long ago. She said that one has to uphold kindness. Good and evil will be repaid.”
Li Zecheng fell onto the sofa like a stray dog.
Li Tingye refused to give up and asked, “Zecheng, do you still have a chance to turn things around?”
Li Zecheng did not reply; his expression was dead.
Li Tingye sighed. “The Huo family and the Xiao family treat Huo Xiaoran as their biological son. Now that the Lu family has appeared, how can we compete with Huo Xiaoran?”
First Madam said in a panic, “If our Li family loses, Huo Xiaoran won’t let us off. Have you forgotten? He once swore in front of us that he would make the Li family completely disappear from the capital. Master, what should we do now?”
Li Tingye thought for a long time and said, “Let’s wait a little longer. Perhaps Huo Xiaoran won’t be ruthless.”
But he was wrong.
In the next few days, the situation of the Li Kang Corporation was defeated.
All the partners left the company in a lurch, and the Li Kang Group could not make ends meet.
Li Zecheng knew that he was doomed. If he didn’t shutter the company, he would probably be in debt.
Therefore, he made the wisest decision and quickly fired a large number of employees, leaving the core department struggling.
