Chapter 99: The Pain of Revenge, Xiao Ran’s Regret

In the corridor outside the private room, it was quiet. But there was no sign of Qiao An anywhere.

As Li Xiaoran ran forward, he bumped into a waiter at the corner. He pulled her and asked anxiously, “Who was the waitress who came to Room 666 just now?”

He hoped that he had seen wrongly. It was just a girl who looked similar to Qiao An.

However, the waiter’s words shattered his dream. “Oh, you’re talking about Miss Qiao, right? She came over at the last minute to replace her friend.”

Li Xiaoran collapsed against the wall.

It was really Qiao An. What a coincidence.

She must have heard what Chen Xiao said, right? Now that she knew his true motive for getting close to her, she should stay away from him, right?

He clearly wanted to take revenge on her, but why did his heart hurt so much?

Lu Mo chased after him and pulled Li Xiaoran. “Senior, my parents are still waiting for you to toast them. Go back.”

Li Xiaoran followed Lu Mo back to the private room gloomily.

When the door to the private room closed, Qiao An ducked out of the other room.

Her eyes were red and filled with tears as she stared at the door of Room 666. That door was like an impregnable city, completely isolating her from Li Xiaoran.

She knew that she and Li Xiaoran could never go back.

Their love had soured.

She dragged her feet and walked out slowly. She hailed a taxi and returned to Star Palace.

Then, Qiao An took out her phone and cleared all records of Li Xiaoran.

At the hotel.

Li Xiaoran toasted Mr. Lu in a daze. “Uncle Lu, I should thank you for helping me get into medical school.”

Father Lu cherished talent. He had always admired Li Xiaoran’s outstanding talent. Facing a genius student like Li Xiaoran, he especially cherished him. “Xiaoran, you know that I’ve always admired you. If you can be my son-in-law, Jinghang Hospital will have a successor.”

Lu Mo was shy. Her father was marrying her off with Jinghang Hospital as the dowry. She was certain Li Xiao ran should not be able to resist such temptation.

Li Xiaoran picked up the wine and said, “I thank Uncle for your kindness.” Then, he raised the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

As for whether he wanted to be her son-in-law or accept such a generous gift, it did not seem to be within Li Xiaoran’s consideration.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Xiaoran’s gait clearly became unstable, and his handsome face turned red. It was obvious that he was drunk.

Huo Zhou snatched Li Xiaoran’s wine glass and said, “Xiaoran, you can’t drink anymore. I’ll drink the rest of the wine for you.”

Li Xiaoran said drunkenly, “It’s rare for Uncle to come over. I’m in a good mood, so let me toast him a few more times.”

Li Xiaoran picked up the wine and skipped the toast in the end. He only drank glass after glass of strong wine.

Huo Zhou tugged at Chen Xiao and said in a low voice, “Xiaoran’s mood isn’t right. Don’t let him drink it.”

Chen Xiao was confused. Senior was clearly acting towards Qiao An. Why did he feel that Senior’s acting was too good?

In the end, Li Xiaoran fell drunk on the table.

Lu Mo’s face twisted. Li Xiaoran had really lost his composure in front of her parents.

However, Mr. and Mrs. Lu were very open-minded, especially Mr. Lu, who cherished talents and tolerated all the shortcomings of Li Xiaoran’s lifestyle.

He reminded Lu Mo, “Xiaoran is hurt by love. He hasn’t gotten over his previous relationship. Momo, if you really like him, you have to care more about Xiaoran and be more tolerant. I think that although Xiaoran is infatuated, he’s also usually sober.He knows what kind of girl is worthy of his care for the rest of his life. Dad believes in you that you will definitely guard him well.”

With her father’s encouragement, Lu Mo became even more energetic. She said firmly to her father, “Dad, don’t worry. I will definitely be able to woo Senior.”

Not only did Father Lu not blame Li Xiaoran for losing his composure, but he also kept reminding Chen Xiao and Huo Zhou, “Please send Xiaoran home safely.”

After Lu Mo’s family left, Huo Zhou and Chen Xiao sent Li Xiaoran home.

Li Xiaoran slept soundly. When he woke up, it was already noon the next day. Just as he opened his sleepy and charming fox eyes, he saw two handsome faces looking at him with envy.

Huo Zhou crossed his arms and said, “Xiaoran, how much virtue did you accumulate in your previous life to meet such a magnanimous father-in-law in this life?”

Chen Xiao chimed in jealously, “You said all that in front of Lu Mo’s parents and you showed an affectionate and regretful look to your ex-girlfriend. If it were any other parents-in-law, they would have beaten you up long ago. But not only was Lu Mo’s father not angry, he even rushed to give Jinghang Hospital to you. Why didn’t such a good thing happen to me?”

In Huo Zhou and Chen Xiao’s words, Li Xiaoran recalled everything that happened yesterday.

Yesterday, Chen Xiao said that he approached Qiao An to take revenge on her…

Qiao An happened to hear that.

Qiao An wasn’t even angry, as if she’d known this outcome all along. She was so calm…

She didn’t even hit or scold him.

With her unyielding personality, how could she tolerate his revenge?

… .

Li Xiaoran picked up his phone excitedly and immediately called Qiao An.

However, the phone notification said, “Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable…”

Li Xiaoran widened his eyes.

Huo Zhou reminded Li Xiaoran awkwardly, “The other party seems to have blacklisted you.”

“How did you know?” Li Xiaoran was a little unwilling.

“Because I often do this kind of thing,” Huo Zhou explained.

Li Xiaoran’s expression turned ugly.

Unwilling to give up, he searched for Qiao An’s account on the social media app. When he sent her a message, he was intercepted. “You’re not in her friend list…”

Li Xiaoran was dumbfounded.

At this moment, he realized that it was not that Qiao An was not angry, but that she had not lost her composure in front of him.

He didn’t feel the pleasure of taking revenge on Qiao An. Instead, he felt as if his world had turned gray and boring.

Chen Xiao peeled an apple and handed it to Li Xiaoran. He asked carefully, “Senior, in my opinion, there’s actually no need for you to take revenge on Qiao An. Think about it. She has already suffered retribution. Hasn’t your nephew, Li Zecheng, already betrayed her? She has already tasted the feeling of being abandoned. It can be considered that your nephew has helped you take revenge. Let her go and the two of you will be fine from now on, right?”

Chen Xiao’s words did not ease Li Xiaoran’s mood. Instead, it made Li Xiaoran’s mood as heavy as Mount Tai.

Yes, Qiao An’s life was already difficult. If he took revenge on her now, it would be equivalent to adding insult to injury.
