Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Li Xiran watched Xi Qian leave the room, leaving him speechless due to her words. As he looked back at his father's face, he wondered if it had been obvious even for a stranger like Nurse Xi.

Indeed, after his father remarried, he kept in touch with him and always tried to be in every important milestone of his life. No matter if he already had a new family, it still remained that Li Xiran was Chairman Li's firstborn son.

Chairman Li made sure that everything Li Xiran needed would be provided. Li Xiran wasn't lacking in anything and didn't suffer nor taste bitterness in his life. Despite his efforts, Chairman Li knew that his firstborn son still resented him.

Even now as he laid on the hospital bed, it was obvious that Li Xiran wouldn't come here and see him had none of these happened to Chairman Li. Li Xiran had been working in a foreign firm in Shenjing when he heard the news about his father, forcing him to leave his work indefinitely and flew to Guangshuang.

The door opened for the second time, revealing Li Xiran's stepmother and his younger half-brother, Li Xingtian. Li Xiran's mood darkened upon seeing them.

Li Xingtian had a deep scowl on his face upon seeing his brother, while his mother could only tug his sleeve, reminding him to behave and not fight with Li Xiran.

"Xiran, why don't you go home and take a rest tonight? Xingtian and I would be here to look after him." His mother said in such a gentle voice that didn't fail to irritate Li Xiran.

Li Xiran gave her a scathing look, which made his stepmother step back and cower in fear behind her son. No matter how she tried to earn Li Xiran's trust, he always reminded her of her place and how she would never be able to become his mother.

"Li Xiran, you jerk. Don't bully my mother! She's only concerned about you!" Li Xingtian hissed at his elder brother, annoyed that Li Xiran was showing such disrespect towards his mother despite their father's condition.

Li Xiran scoffed and stood up from his seat before facing the mother and son. He really hated seeing this woman pretend that she cared about him. Aside from having a beautiful face, she didn't have the intelligence nor the elegance Li Xiran's mother had, making Li Xiran wonder if his father was only blinded by this woman's looks.

"Aren't you tired of pretending that you care about me? Don't even think that you would be able to lay your hands on the Li family's fortune if something bad happens to my father." He said to Madam Li.

"That's enough! Dad is already in such a condition and yet you keep on accusing me and my mother about the finances! Do you think we want all of this to happen to Dad? Don't be so ridiculous, Li Xiran!" Li Xingtian said in return. Even when they were younger, he never got along with his elder brother because of his arrogant nature.

"You keep saying you truly love my father, and you married him out of love and not because of the money he has in his name, but how could you let this happen to him? You already know that my father has health issues, and yet you allowed him to work hard as if nothing ails him? This only makes me think that you couldn't wait for my father to die." Li Xiran said to his stepmother, leaving her stunned by his words.

"You bastard!" Li Xingtian pounced on his elder brother, wanting to plant a solid punch on his arrogant face, but Li Xiran easily avoided him. "Take back what you said! My mother is nothing like that!"

"Stop! Please stop!" Li Xingtian's mother begged the two to stop fighting. Tears were rimming her eyes as she clasped her hands together, wondering what else she must do for Li Xiran to see that she wasn't pretending at all.

It was at that moment that the door opened again, revealing Xi Qian with a deep frown etched on her face. The three turned their heads to look at her. She looked at the two brothers and then to the crying woman near her.

"Young Masters, in case you are forgetting where the two of you are, this is a hospital. If you want to get into a brawl and kill each other, I suggest the remote alley at the back of the hospital." She said with a straight face, leaving Madam Li and the two brothers speechless by her words.

Oddly enough, Li Xiran lost his will to fight with his half brother and scoffed. He then picked up his coat from the seat he just vacated.

"I'm going home. You better make sure that my father is still alive once I return." He said, glancing at the mother and son pair.

Perhaps Xi Qian's presence had reminded Li Xiran that his father wouldn't want him to argue with his stepmother and brother anymore. If anything, his father would want him to get along with them, which was impossible in Li Xiran's opinion. That would never happen.

"Just leave, will ya?" Li Xingtian harrumphed and crossed his arms over his chest. "You are worrying too much for nothing. Dad will make it. He's not a weakling that would easily succumb and accept defeat. You should know that better than anyone else."

Li Xiran only raised a slender brow and said nothing in return. He didn't have any retort to deny what his brother had just said. He then left, but not without giving Xi Qian a look and nodded, acknowledging her, much to Li Xingtian's surprise.

Li Xingtian looked suspiciously at his elder brother and Xi Qian and wondered what kind of relationship they had, for he knew from childhood that Li Xiran had such a bad personality and wouldn't even bother to give a woman a single glance.
