Chapter 164: Acknowledging His Family
Li Xiaoran crossed his legs elegantly. His aura was even more intimidating. It was as if he was a high and mighty king, and the father who had given him his life was just an inconspicuous ant. đđđŚđŚđđŽđˇđŻđ¸đđŽđ.đŹđ¸đŽ
âI came to inform you that Iâve decided to move my household register,â Li Xiaoran said.
Old Master Li was furious. âLi Xiaoran, you want to establish another family? Cut ties with the Li family? Look at your lack of magnanimity. Didnât a few brothers snatch your pharmaceutical companyâs performance? Are you unhappy?â
Li Xiaoran said, âThatâs not it. I just feel that my life was given to me by my mother. Before I was ten years old, my mother raised me. Then my household register should follow my mother. Since my mother doesnât have a status in the Li family, Iâm not suitable to stay in the Li family.â
Old Master Li was dumbfounded.
This was the first time Li Xiaoran had taken the initiative to talk to Old Master Li about his biological mother since he entered the Li family.
Li Xiaoranâs mother was the canary raised by Old Master Li. However, this canary was different from the traditional canary. She was independent and strong, and did not accept his financial help at all.
Old Master Liâs love for his wife and children was only reflected in money. Li Xiaoranâs mother did not accept his money, so Old Master Li became estranged from the mother and son. This was why Old Master Li and Li Xiaoran were not close.
Now that Li Xiaoran had suggested that he and his mother establish another family, Old Master Li was not surprised. However, he was curious why Li Xiaoran had to mention it at this time.
After all, the Li family had just severely damaged Li Xiaoranâs career beyond repair. Old Master Li felt that Li Xiaoran was taking revenge on him.
âIf you want to move, then move.â Old Master Li had never doted on children, much less Li Xiaoran.
He turned around and said to the butler, âGo and take out the household register.â
The butler entered the house and quickly took out the household register. He handed it to Li Xiaoran respectfully.
......
Li Xiaoran stood up and said goodbye. âThank you, Dad.â
Old Master Li suddenly thought of something and called out to Li Xiaoran, âXiaoran.â
Li Xiaoran stopped.
âIf you take this household register, will you not want this family anymore?â Old Master Li vaguely felt that Li Xiaoran did not love this family. He had long thought of breaking off ties with the Li family.
Li Xiaoran turned around, his handsome face sinister. âYes.â
Old Master Li trembled. âAre you really going to be so ruthless?â
Li Xiaoran said, âWas it me who was ruthless? Or was it you? If you had any regard for our father-son relationship, you wouldnât have done anything to hit me when I was down.â
Old Master Li argued, âWhat do you mean by adding insult to injury? You work for the Huo family. No matter how much money you earn, itâs still the Huo familyâs. Donât forget that the Li family is your root.â
Li Xiaoranâs eyes curled into a mocking smile. âNo, my roots are with the Huo family.â
Old Master Li was silent.
He looked at Li Xiaoran in shock and finally slammed the table angrily. âYour surname is Li, not Huo. I can accept that you and Huo Zhou maintain that kind of disgraceful relationship, but now you actually want to transfer your household register over. Arenât you making our Li family a joke?â
âDad, youâre so sad,â Li Xiaoran said sadly. âIf you loved my mother a little more, if you cared about me a little more, you wouldnât not know why my surname should be Huo.â Li Xiaoran left.
Master Li was dumbfounded.
After a long time, Old Master Li asked the butler, âWhat did he mean just now?â
The butler was also dumbfounded. âMaster, could it be that Young Master grew up in a single-parent family, so he has an unhealthy mentality?â
Old Master Liâs thoughts were misled by the butler, and his true thoughts were suppressed.
âHmph, a good seedling was destroyed just like that.â
The butler asked Old Master carefully, âMaster, are we going to let Young Master Xiaoran fool around with Huo Zhou?â
Old Master Liâs eyes were shrewd.
âHuo Zhou is the most powerful person in the capital. We canât afford to offend him. If Xiaoran is with him, it will only be good for the Li family.â
For example, this time, the Li family brazenly snatched Li Xiaoranâs market, but Huo Zhou stood by and watched.
In Old Master Liâs opinion, Huo Zhou had deliberately given the Li family some respect because of Li Xiaoranâs relationship with the Li family.
The butler was slightly stunned. Old Master Li clearly disliked Li Xiaoranâs relationship with Huo Zhou, but he could not bear to let Huo Zhou desrtroy the Li family. If he used Young Master Xiaoran like this, he would only disappoint Young Master Xiaoran.
Sigh, Young Master Xiaoran was too kind.
After Li Xiaoran obtained the household register, his name was also changed to Huo Xiaoran.
Three days later, various television stations rushed to report the news of the Huo familyâs grandson acknowledging his roots.
When Old Master Li saw Li Xiaoran standing beside Old Master Huo and his wife on the television, he was stunned.
âButler, look carefully. Is he really Li Xiaoran?â
The butler leaned in front of the television and stared at Li Xiaoran for a long time before returning to the old man and reporting, âThatâs right, itâs Young Master Xiaoran.â
âHeâs the grandson of the Huo family?â Old Master Liâs eyes were filled with disbelief.
He thought of Xiaoranâs mother, the beautiful woman. When she was with him, she seemed very poor and had never mentioned her family. He had always thought of her as an orphan.
Unexpectedly, she was the eldest daughter of the Huo family.
If he had known that her identity was so illustrious, he would have protected her well.
At least he wouldnât let her die so early.
In the evening, after Old Master Liâs sons learned of Li Xiaoranâs true identity, they probably felt uneasy after plotting against Li Xiaoran and returned home to seek countermeasures.
âDad, weâve stirred up a hornetâs nest this time. Xiaoran is the grandson of the Huo family. He will definitely take revenge on us for stealing his business,â Second Brother Li said anxiously.
Old Master Li said confidently, âEven if heâs the grandson of the Huo family, he has to have the ability to take revenge on us.â
Third Brother Li had always been thorough. He said uneasily, âBut Dad, Xiaoran must have a lot of resentment towards the Li family, especially his motherâs death. Although Xiaoran doesnât say it, she should be brooding over her motherâs death. If he slanders the Li family in front of Old Master Huo, will Old Master Huo vent his anger on the Li family?â
Old Master Li glanced meaningfully at his wife, who was sitting not far away.
Madamâs face turned slightly pale. Her fingertips were trembling.
âWhy? Are you afraid now?â Old Master Li snorted.
Madam shook her head and argued, âMaster, her death has nothing to do with me. She wanted to kill herself. I didnât force her.â
âYou know how she died,â Old Master Li said angrily.
