Huo Xiaoran smiled faintly. He glanced at Qiao An and their eyes met. He had already handed himself over to Qiao An.

Then, Huo Xiaoran picked up his wine glass and said, “Brothers, Xiaoran can’t drink, but you’re right. We haven’t seen each other for a few years and it’s rare for us to reunite. How can we not have wine to liven things up? I’ll risk my life to accompany you this time.”

After Huo Xiaoran finished speaking, he raised his neck and drank first.

Second Brother poured him another glass of wine. “Come, come, fill it up.”

The brothers were cunning and took turns to toast Huo Xiaoran. Huo Xiaoran was not good at drinking and was quickly drunk.

At this moment, his brothers began to scheme against Huo Xiaoran.

Third Brother deliberately acted pitiful. “Xiaoran, although we’re all brothers, our fates are completely different. Now that you’re doing the best and Dad has handed over the huge family business to you, you have to take care of the other families.”

Huo Xiaoran said drunkenly, “How do you want me to take care of you?”

Third Brother said, “I don’t want you to be troubled. I just want you to give me a share on account of our blood brothers. How about that?”

Huo Xiaoran was drunk. “What do you want? Tell me and I’ll give it to you.”

Third Brother was overjoyed. “Xiaoran, you’re indeed my good brother. Come, drink.”

Seeing that the third branch had benefited, Second Brother pretended to be pitiful. “Xiaoran, you’ve helped Third Brother, but you have to help Second Brother. You don’t know, but in the past few years, my business has been suppressed by your Angel Group. Second Brother has been living in the cracks. Now, I’m in debt.”

“Yes.” Huo Xiaoran was very open-minded.

Qiao An looked at the drunk Huo Xiaoran helplessly. In the past, she had only heard him mention that his alcohol tolerance was bad. Later on, he actually raped her after drinking. She also knew how bad his alcohol tolerance was.

However, what she did not know was that he could actually go from being a CEO to being someone else’s lackey when he was dead drunk.

She would never let him drink again.

The eldest brother got someone to prepare an agreement and carried it to Huo Xiaoran. The eldest brother said coldly, “Xiaoran, now that you’re rich, you must look down on the Li family’s ancestral mansion. I think since you have a better property in the Heavenly Imperial Garden, you definitely won’t want the inheritance of this Li family’s villa, right?”

Huo Xiaoran nodded and said in a low voice, “Yes, no.”

“Then give up the inheritance rights of the ancestral mansion and sign it.” The eldest brother’s eyes were cold.

At this moment, the servant had already handed Huo Xiaoran a contract and pen. Even the seal was prepared.

Qiao An looked at the thick contract. Just as Huo Xiaoran was about to sign it, she suddenly pressed his hand.

“Brother Xiaoran, you’re drunk. I’m afraid you can’t write your name well. You should sign it after you sober up.”

Qiao An’s obstruction immediately attracted the jealousy of the others.

First Madam said sarcastically, “Qiao An, you haven’t even married into the family, but you’re already so strict with Fourth Brother.”

In other words, she was not qualified to interfere in Huo Xiaoran’s matters.

Qiao An sighed weakly.

She and Huo Xiaoran had indeed not registered their marriage yet…

Although Huo Xiaoran was drunk, he would never be careless when doting on his wife. He immediately scolded First Madam domineeringly, “Sister-in-law, so what if An’an and I aren’t married? We’re in love and will hold hands for the rest of our lives. It’s much better than those couples who live apart after marriage. Besides…”

He held Qiao An’s hand affectionately and said, “It’s not like I don’t want to marry my An’an. I’m just waiting for the auspicious day next month, the anniversary of my confession to her. I’ll propose to her then.”

Qiao An didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This guy had hidden his intentions. Once he drank, it was all leaked.

First Madam’s face turned green from Huo Xiaoran’s retort.

Wasn’t she the one that was living apart after marriage?

Huo Xiaoran placed the contract in Qiao An’s hand. “An’an, decide if you want to sign it…”

Qiao An glanced at Li Tingye and saw that he was calm and even had a hint of contempt in his eyes, as if he was mocking her for not understanding the contract.

Qiao An took the contract and read it word by word. Although she read it word by word, Li Tingye didn’t seem to be worried that she would see through it because she read quickly.

When Qiao An saw the trap hidden in the dense clause, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Li Tingye was really despicable. He actually used the excuse of giving up the ancestral mansion to make Huo Xiaoran give up the Li family’s assets.

That clause was very concise and obscure. At first glance, it was impossible to tell, but Qiao An was a top student.

At this moment, Li Tingye saw that Qiao An had taken too long and said impatiently, “Qiao An, do you want to bring the contract home to read?” His voice was clearly dissatisfied with Qiao An.

Qiao An knew he was being sarcastic. She kept her expression neutral and smiled. “No need.”

At this moment, she put down the contract and deliberately picked up the red wine to slowly taste it. She was actually focused on thinking of how to retaliate against this greedy family.

At this moment, the eldest branch urged, “Xiaoran, quickly sign it.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An with hazy eyes. “An’an, do you want to sign it?”

Qiao An picked up the pen and pointed at a few places in the contract. “Brother Xiaoran, I don’t understand these places.”

Li Tingye’s eyes relaxed.

Little did he know that Qiao An had secretly tampered with the contract when she flipped through it. She had successfully changed the meaning of the clause by adding punctuation.

Huo Xiaoran signed it in the end.

When the eldest branch received the contract, they were overjoyed.

At this moment, not only was Huo Xiaoran drunk, but he also began to vomit.

However, his brothers’ scheme succeeded and they no longer persuaded Huo Xiaoran to drink.

“Qiao An, Xiaoran is so drunk. Don’t go home tonight. Stay in the Li family and rest for the night.” Li Tingye’s scheme succeeded and he became amiable to Huo Xiaoran.

Qiao An looked at the immobile Huo Xiaoran and could only stay with the Li family.

At night, the Li family villa was lively.

The first, second, and third branches gathered together and discussed how to distribute the assets transferred by Huo Xiaoran.

As for the woman Li Tingfeng brought back, because she occupied Li Tingfeng at all times and even wanted to sleep in the same room as him at night, Third Madam was very agitated. Therefore, the two of them quarreled.

Since Huo Xiaoran was drunk, Qiao An brought him back to his room and took good care of him.

She originally thought that he would be boisterous, but unexpectedly, Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An quietly.

Qiao An poured him water, wiped his face, washed his hands, and washed his feet.

Qiao An poured and fed him water.

No matter what she did, his gaze was glued to Qiao An.

Qiao An smiled and asked him, “Brother Xiaoran, why do you keep looking at me?”
