Chapter 556 -556 Thorough Soul Transformation (Second Update)
When Xue An and his group entered the Yue Lai Hotel.
Li Hongyan was quarreling with her daughter Xue Lan, her face full of displeasure.
“I just want to be a manager in this hotel, is that not allowed?” Li Hongyan muttered.
Xue Lan, with a cold face, “No!”
“You ungrateful brat! After all, I am your mother! Can’t you even agree to this small request?”
Xue Lan firmly shook her head, “No means no. Just stay at home honestly. If you need money, I’ll give it to you. Why do you need to come here to create a scene? Besides, I’m not the one calling the shots at this hotel!”
“Oh, don’t give me that official tone, as if I don’t know that the Yue Lai Hotel is yours now. Is it not easy for you to arrange a position for someone? Moreover, I’m here to help you, not to create a scene,” Li Hongyan said with a cold sneer.
Taking a deep breath, Xue Lan said with an icy tone, “First, this hotel is not mine; I’m just managing it for Brother Xue An! Second, we don’t need your help here because the moment you come, you’ll only ruin things!”
Li Hongyan’s face alternated between green and red with anger, “You… is this how you talk to your mother?”
With a cold laugh, Xue Lan said, “Mom, have you forgotten how your tongue was cut off by Brother Xue An? If it wasn’t for the fact that I later got some concentrated Heaven’s Fate Elixir from him, you wouldn’t even be able to speak now!”
Li Hongyan had her tongue cut off by Xue An in the past because she was too loose-lipped. Later, out of pity for her own mother, Xue Lan begged for a bottle of Heaven’s Fate Elixir.
But clearly Li Hongyan was not someone who knew how to be grateful and reciprocate, exploding with rage upon hearing this, “I knew it, you think you’ve climbed up the ranks by hanging onto your Brother Xue An, and you no longer have me, your mother, in your eyes! Is that it?”
Seeing her mother being so unreasonable, Xue Lan felt so angry she was on the verge of tears.
“You… you…”
“What ‘you’? Let me tell you, no matter how much you like your Brother Xue An, the two of you are still siblings!” Li Hongyan said with venomous contempt on her face.
Xue Lan felt so angry she was about to faint.
At that moment, a detached voice came through.
“Bullying on account of age, using power to oppress others, what a vast display of power indeed!”
Hearing this voice, Xue Lan trembled all over and looked up incredulously.
She saw Xue An slowly approaching, his face carrying a trace of coldness.
“Bro… Brother Xiao An!” Xue Lan hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face and said respectfully.
Xue Anchong gave his sister a slight smile, then his gaze turned towards Li Hongyan, who was standing there dumbstruck.
When she met Xue An’s gaze, Li Hongyan felt her legs go weak, and she fell to the ground with a thud, saying with extreme fear.
“Xue… Xue, I…”
She was so scared that she didn’t know what to say.
If there was anyone in this world that she was most afraid of, it was definitely Xue An.
She dared to pressure Xue Lan with words because she knew that even if Xue Lan didn’t like her, she would tolerate her because she was her mother.
But such tricks were completely ineffective against Xue An.
Xue An looked at her and said indifferently, “Now you remember to beg for mercy, isn’t it a bit late?”
“Last time, I spared your life for Lan’s sake, only severing your tongue, but now it seems you truly don’t know how to be grateful!”
Li Hongyan trembled all over, with a look of absolute horror in her eyes. She turned to her daughter and began pleading for help.
“Lan’er, save me! I know I was wrong! I won’t dare anymore!”
Xue Lan wore a hesitant expression, looking troubled as she turned to Xue An.
“Brother…”
Xue An gently shook his head.
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill her.”
Hearing these words, Li Hongyan collapsed on the ground, feeling an enormous relief as if she had survived a great calamity.
Hmph, no matter how you put it, I am still your elder, it seems you really wouldn’t dare to kill me!
Li Hongyan thought to herself somewhat triumphantly.
