Li Huan frowned.
He turned and went into the living room.
Mrs. Li sat on the sofa, flustered, while Fourth Uncle was kneeling on the ground, begging non-stop.
"Sister-in-law, please help me again, I beg you, otherwise I will surely die."
"What’s going on?" Li Huan asked.
Upon hearing his voice, Mrs. Li immediately stood up.
"Li Huan!"
"Mom, be honest with me. I told you not to invest before; did you invest?" Li Huan asked directly.
"I..." Mrs. Li nodded guiltily, "I initially invested a little and made some money. Your Fourth Uncle said to quickly invest more while the opportunity was hot, so we could get even more return."
Li Huan glanced at Fourth Uncle, who was bowing his head.
"So how much did you invest?"
Mrs. Li pressed her lips together: "I, I put all our savings from these years into it, and now it’s all gone."
Hearing this, Li Huan immediately felt agitated.
"Mom! Why is it that you never believe anything I say? You trust him, someone who deceived Dad, this much? What do you actually want?"
"I... I really didn’t know it would turn out like this! But there were profits at first!" Mrs. Li said.
"Without tempting you with some profits, would you have continued to pour money in? Fourth Uncle is not cut out for business at all; isn’t this obvious bait-and-switch? Which businessman wouldn’t see through it?" Li Huan retorted.
"Li Huan, stop it."
Mrs. Li wiped her tears, finding it hard to endure.
Li Huan took a deep breath; normally if he spoke like this, Fourth Uncle would certainly stand there accusing him of being disrespectful.
But now he was kneeling on the floor, saying nothing.
This felt very wrong.
Li Huan snapped back and asked, "How much did Fourth Uncle invest? Why does he need you to save him?"
Mrs. Li’s eyes turned even redder.
"He, he actually mortgaged this house while I wasn’t paying attention! All that money was cheated away!"
Even though Li Huan was prepared, he felt so angry he almost couldn’t breathe.
The Li Family’s ancestral home has passed down through generations; no matter how hard things were, they never lost the house.
And now it’s actually...
He grabbed Fourth Uncle’s chin: "Are you crazy! Why did you do this?"
Fourth Uncle grimaced: "They treated me like a brother, taking me everywhere. I really thought they considered me a friend, and they even introduced me to a great project. Our Li Family shouldn’t have fallen like this; I just wanted the Li Family to prosper!"
"Don’t you know your own limitations? You see them as brothers, and they see you as a fool! Wasn’t my father’s lesson enough for you? Why do you always think you’re so capable? And dragging my mother into this? Why don’t you involve your own children?" Li Huan questioned.
Fourth Uncle felt choked, as if he couldn’t breathe.
Mrs. Li, afraid it would get out of hand, quickly stepped forward to separate them.
"Li Huan, stop making trouble; we came to you hoping you’d think of a way!"
"What kind of solution? What kind of competence? I’m just a doctor!" Li Huan said loudly.
"Don’t you have Third Young Master? You can ask him." Mrs. Li said.
Upon hearing this, Li Huan was taken aback.
He stared at his mother and asked, "Didn’t you always say before that Third Young Master has been good enough to us, and we shouldn’t cling to him, but now you want me to ask him? Is this his idea?"
Li Huan pointed at Fourth Uncle.
Fourth Uncle’s eyes shifted as he turned his body.
