The woman went pale with fear.

Perhaps in the beginning, when Li Tingfeng gave her money to spend, she was afraid that her first wife would create trouble for her. Therefore, she was especially wary of Third Madam.

However, she later realized that Third Madam did not seem to care or did not dare to care about Li Tingfeng at all. Therefore, she brazenly accepted Li Tingfeng’s financial help.

In twenty years, Li Tingfeng had spent countless amounts on her. If Third Madam really found out, she would probably not be able to repay him in a few lifetimes.

Li Tingfeng was furious. He held Third Madam’s neck angrily and said, “How dare you threaten us?”

Third Madam immediately found it difficult to breathe.

When Li Zecheng saw his mother’s face turn red, he was furious. He picked up the chair beside him and hit Li Tingfeng with it.

Li Tingfeng groaned and fell to the ground with his head bleeding.

“Mom.” Li Zecheng held Third Madam and glared at Li Tingfeng. He said angrily, “Li Tingfeng, if you dare to attack my mother again, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

Li Tingfeng roared, “Li Zecheng, I’m your father.”

Li Zecheng said, “If you really have me in your heart, you wouldn’t have secretly transferred your shares to an illegitimate child outside. Don’t think I don’t know that you no longer have us in your heart.”

Old Master Li looked at his unfilial son and grandson and fainted on the spot.

The second branch quickly sent the old man to the hospital.

The woman kept scolding Third Madam and was beaten up by the furious and fierce Third Madam.

Li Tingfeng and the woman could only leave the Li family villa in a sorry state.

Li Zecheng looked at the blood on the ground with an extremely desolate and desperate expression.

He fell to the ground.

“Son.” Third Madam reached for him.

Li Zecheng moved his hand away and muttered, “Mom, is this retribution? Back then, when we bullied Qiao An like this, how terrible must she have felt? Now, all this retribution is coming back to us. We really brought this on ourselves.”

Third Madam’s eyes were filled with tears.

“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have instigated you to divorce Qiao An. Zecheng, you and Qiao An have already separated. Fortunately, she’s doing well now. I think her resentment will be less. And our guilt will be less. In the future, treat Wei Xin well and don’t let her down.” With that, she left dejectedly.

Wei Xin stood far away with an obscure expression. No one knew what she was thinking.

Perhaps she also realized what a disgraceful role she had played in Li Zecheng’s life.

Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An returned to the Heavenly Imperial Palace.

Originally, Huo Xiaoran was not in a good mood, but as soon as he reached home, the little glutinous rice ball threw herself into his arms. Her soft and sweet voice kept ringing.

“Daddy.”

“Daddy.”

“Daddy.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at the three treasures in front of him and all his sadness dissipated.

It occurred to him that it was the weekend. The children didn’t have to go to school.

He played with the children in the courtyard while Old Madam Huo and Qiao An chatted in the living room.

Old Madam Huo asked Qiao An about Huo Xiaoran and the Li family. “An’an, there are some things I’ve always wanted to ask Xiaoran, but I’m afraid of touching his sad past, so I’ve held it in until now.”

Qiao An poured her water. She handed it to the old lady.

Then she looked up and said with bright eyes, “Grandma, what do you want to know? Ask.”

The old lady looked at the tea in her hand. She was touched by Qiao An’s good upbringing. She smiled faintly and said, “I know that when Xiaoran was at his most difficult, you were the one who stayed by his side and helped him out of his predicament. Presumably, in Xiaoran’s heart, he really treats you as his family. He will definitely share all his worries with you. I just want to know if he ever told you about his mother?”

Qiao An nodded.

The old lady said, “Then did he say if Ping’er ever told him about his parentage?”

Qiao An shook her head. “Brother Xiaoran doesn’t know about this.”

She sighed and said leisurely, “It was only today that Brother Xiaoran found out that he’s not a child of the Li family.”

Qiao An looked at the old lady in shock. “Grandma, did you already know that Xiaoran isn’t a child of the Li family?”

Old Madam Huo nodded. “When Ping’er left home, she was already pregnant.”

Qiao An had only just come to a realization.

Why had the Huo family not made things difficult for the Li family for many years? They must have known that the Li family was not obligated to raise Xiaoran.

“Grandma, do you know his biological father?” Qiao An asked curiously.

Old Madam Huo shook her head.

“Back then, Ping’er liked a man. However, she refused to tell me his identity. I could tell that Ping’er loved him very much. However, such love was so platonic. As parents, we only hoped that they could achieve success. We repeatedly negotiated with Ping’er, hoping that she could tell us the other party’s identity. However, Ping’er was unwilling to reveal his identity. In a fit of anger, we said some ruthless words that she didn’t respect.”

At this point, the old lady’s eyes were already flickering with tears.

She raised her hand to wipe her tears and said sadly, “There was a problem with my communication with the child. So much so that when Ping’er failed in her relationship, she didn’t dare tell us the outcome. She could only secretly leave home alone to heal in a distant place.”

“I thought she would abort the child and start a new life. Unexpectedly, a few years later, I heard that she found a man old enough to be her father and had a child. Her father was so angry that he cut ties with her.”

“It wasn’t until we found Xiaoran again that we realized that we had misunderstood her. From Xiaoran’s birthday, he’s the child of her first love.”

Qiao An’s eyes filled with tears.

Xiao Ran’s mother’s devotion to love moved her.

But Xiaoran’s father had let down such a good woman, which made Qiao An angry.

“Grandma, so many years have passed. Have you found Xiaoran’s father?”

A ruthless glint appeared in the old lady’s eyes. “If I find him, I’ll be the first to deal with him.”

Qiao An was stunned. She glanced at Xiaoran outside the window.

Xiao Ran was so gentle and loving, and he was still devoted… Qiao An was still unwilling to believe that Xiao Ran’s father was such an irresponsible man.

Because Old Madam Huo was sad, Qiao An comforted her gently for a long time.

“Grandma, although Brother Xiaoran’s mother is no longer around, she passed her beauty, intelligence, and loyalty to Brother Xiaoran. This is more or less a comforting thing. If you miss Brother Xiaoran’s mother in the future, come over and visit.”

Old Madam Huo shook Qiao An’s hand gratefully. “An’an, you’re a good wife. I’m so thankful that my Xiaoran has married you. Thank you.”

Qiao An smiled shyly. “You flatter me, Grandma.”
