Meeting between the Adoptive and Biological Father

Xiaoran was stunned when he heard this. A different emotion flashed across his handsome face. Then, he lowered his head and walked in.

The butler glanced at Qiao An and Falcon behind Xiaoran. When his gaze landed on Falcon, his eyes revealed a stunned expression.

Qiao An introduced him. “This is Xiaoran’s biological father.”

The butler was stunned for a moment before stepping forward to shake hands.

“You’re welcome to be a guest,” the butler said.

Falcon held the butler’s hand. The power he exuded stunned the butler for a long time.

Falcon’s attitude toward the Li family was the same as his attitude toward the butler. It looked benign, but there was an invisible force that made him want to strangle everyone in the Li family.

When they entered the lobby, the two brothers and sisters-in-law were very surprised to see Huo Xiaoran.

“Fourth Brother, so you’re still alive? Didn’t they say that you crashed four years ago?” Second Sister-in-law said without thinking.

Xiaoran said, “I was lucky not to die.”

When the two brothers saw Xiao Ran, their eyes lit up as if they had seen gold.

“Aiya, this is great. Xiaoran, if you’re still alive, our Li family will have hope.”

Falcon retorted coldly, “Xiaoran is not anyone’s hope. He’s not a savior.”

Li Tingye looked at Huo Xiaoran with an unfriendly gaze and asked sarcastically, “Xiaoran, who is he?”

Xiaoran looked at Falcon with a relaxed smile in his eyes. In front of Falcon, there was no need for him to brace himself as a warrior. With such a powerful father who had so much love for him, Xiaoran was not worried that his two brothers would make things difficult for him.

“Let him tell you himself. I’ll go see Old Master first.” Xiaoran smiled and left.

Falcon stood in the middle of the lobby, and immediately, the sky in the lobby seemed to be covered in haze. Falcon asked gloomily, “I heard that Xiaoran’s mother was forced to death by you?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Tingye and his brother’s hearts thumped.

“How can you say we forced her to death? She was the one who got pregnant out of wedlock and stirred trouble in my family. She made our mother suffer so much.”

Qiao An scolded, “My mother-in-law had no intention of stirring trouble in your family. She was just using your father’s identity as a cover. Your mother can blame her and hate her, but she shouldn’t have forced her to death. Your mother had already explained this to Xiaoran before she died. She knew that she was in the wrong. Why can’t you two men admit your mistake openly like your mother?”

Li Tingye and Li Tinglei fell silent.

After a long time, Li Tinglei said, “Our Li family has let Xiaoran’s mother down, but Xiaoran’s mother had to bear some responsibility. Qiao An, this matter is in the past. The two parties involved are no longer alive. What’s the point of bringing up the past?”

Qiao An looked at Falcon. “It’s past for you. But not for my father-in-law.”

Only then did the Li brothers come to a realization. This imposing man was actually Xiaoran’s biological father!

At this moment, Falcon said, “My Xinping never wanted to destroy your family. The reason why she dragged your father down was that she had no choice. I was an undercover agent. The mission I took could be said to be the highest and most difficult mission. When all the undercover agents infiltrated the enemy, the enemy would investigate this person’s family. I had no choice but to cut off contact with Xinping and her family. I even made up a new identity for myself.”

“Xinping was very smart. She probably guessed that my mission might implicate her. That was why she found your father to be her amulet. Her goal is actually to protect my child from the bad guys.”

“We’ve all assumed the worst.”

At this point, Falcon looked at Li Tingye sharply. “Do you know? I thought that I was protecting unarmed citizens like you. You, who follow the law, would definitely protect my wife and child. But no, you didn’t treat my wife and child well. This often makes me deny my efforts and everything I’ve done. Was it worth it?”

The Li brothers lowered their heads in shame.

Falcon smiled bitterly. “In the end, Xinping entrusted herself to the wrong person. You don’t know her innocence, but your father knows that she’s innocent. Your father failed to protect her. It was his negligence. If he was stupid for not being able to protect my wife, he was too heartless for disregarding my son later.”

A cold glint appeared in Falcon’s eyes.

The Li brothers did not dare to breathe loudly.

Falcon’s aura was suffocating. Even the usually unruly and unreasonable Second Sister-in-law did not dare to make a sound in front of him today.

At this moment, Li Tingye recounted the past in disappointment. “I know that my mother was responsible for Xinping’s death. In fact, my father had explained to my mother back then that Xinping didn’t want to break up our family. However, my father couldn’t reveal Xinping’s motive for approaching him. Even the child Xinping was carrying had to be forced on my father. My mother was very devastated. Coupled with her postpartum depression, she couldn’t make rational judgments. That’s why her hatred for Xinping got stronger and stronger. I hope you can understand my mother’s difficulties?”

Falcon looked out the window at the blue sky and white clouds. Tears welled in his eyes. “I was the one who destroyed two homes.”

Qiao An comforted him. “Dad, although you’ve let these two families down, you’ve not let the country and the people down.”

Falcon turned around and smiled bitterly. “An’an, you’re the only one who knows how to talk. With just a few words, you swept away my guilt.”

Qiao An said, “Dad,”

On the other side, in the old man’s bedroom. When Xiaoran pushed the door open and entered, he saw a skinny old man staring at the ceiling with dry eyes.

After not seeing him for a few years, the old man was like weathered bacon, thin and dry.

Hearing the creak of the door, the old man’s eyes rolled. When he saw Xiaoran, he was at first confused and his gaze was unfocused.

After a while, he squeezed a thin voice out of his throat excitedly. “Is it Xiaoran?”

He reached out and scratched the air excitedly.

Huo Xiaoran quickly walked over and held his hand. Seeing his old and dispirited appearance, Xiaoran’s heart still ached inexplicably.

“Dad, I’m back.”

“Xiaoran, you’re back. You’re finally willing to forgive Dad. You’re willing to come home to see me.” The old man was as excited as a child.

“It was my fault in the past. I was timid, I was afraid of my wife, I was selfish, and I only knew how to protect the harmony of my family. I regret it. If I had known that I had raised a few good-for-nothing sons, I would have treated you well from the beginning.” The sickly old man was like a child who could not hide his emotions. He repeatedly muttered the words that he had buried deep in his heart in the past.
