Chapter 56 - Idle Rich Youth

examining some strange creature. His minty cool eyes were filled with malicious glee at seeing her suffer: "When I went over there, I found you groaning somewhere, and I thought you were having a spr...Chapter 56: The Idle Prodigal Son

Liyi's disappointment and anger in his eyes was almost suffocating An Ling, "So you don't like Yan Luoxi anymore I won’t force you. You can choose to be with Sun Liangliang or that Lu Lu, but how could you bully Yan Luoxi so much Have you thought about how Mom will feel when she finds out"

When mentioning their mother, An finally felt somewhat discouraged and lowered his proud head, looking back at the blooming flowers on the coffee table.

Liyi’s expression turned dark as he said each word with absolute clarity: "Mom brought Yan Luoxi home out of kindness and love. But because of your meddling, Mom's kindness became poison to her. She feels that everyone will say she has failed in raising you properly and that she hasn’t fulfilled her duty as a foster mother by bringing Yan Luoxi into the family, causing harm to this young girl."

Do you know that after their mother went abroad from the capital city, she fell seriously ill She berates herself for failing to notice things and feels guilty towards Yan Luoxi. But do you know that her illness was entirely because of your actions"

Hearing his brother’s grave and angry tone, An Ling was greatly surprised and looked at his brother with anxious distress, "How did I not know about Mom being sick Why didn’t any of you tell me"

Liyi watched as An Ling's expression showed concern for their mother and sighed helplessly: “How could we have told you At the time your leg injury hadn't healed yet; you were still in recovery. Dad also felt somewhat guilty for secretly sending Yan Luoxi and Zhou Guangtao away, fearing that it would worry you, so we didn’t tell you about Mom’s illness.”

"You shouldn’t have hidden the fact that Mom is sick from me either," Li An thought of his mother, who had been pampered by the whole family for so many years, falling seriously ill because of him. The usually stubborn and unruly Li An felt a twinge in his heart.

Li Yi raised an eyebrow, "Since you know how to feel sorry for Mom, why can’t you think about her or consider others' feelings before doing things"

Your dad arranged everything for Mom so that she wouldn't worry about this matter and could focus on recuperating. He wanted to make sure Zhou Guangtao and Yan Luoxi were taken care of properly. If Mom saw that Yan Luoxi was happy in her marriage with Zhou Guangtao, it would ease one of her concerns. But you went there and caused trouble."

"Even if I hadn’t caused any trouble, Zhou Guangtao and Yan Luoxi wouldn’t have ended up together," Li An heard Zhou Guangtao’s name and couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Li Yi's expression immediately turned cold. "Don’t think I don't know about the good deeds you’ve done. If you hadn’t used He Yufan to sow discord between Yan Luoxi and Zhou Guangtao, and if you hadn’t sent Fang Jianghai to stir things up, how could they have possibly broken up"

Li An didn't expect his older brother to be so perceptive. He pursed his lips but said no more.

"Dad made great efforts to arrange everything for Mom’s peace of mind, and you easily messed it all up without a second thought. Don’t think Dad is unaware of your actions."

Lian An was somewhat puzzled and looked up at his brother. He had thought that his father would know about his actions, but he didn't understand why his father hadn't called to question him or come back to deal with him.

Liyi glared at Lian An with disappointment: "Father has known all along about you breaking up Yan Luoxi and Zhou Guangtao and then pursuing Yan Luoxi again. You are still his son, and a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs. He doesn’t want you to go through the same hardships that he and your mother endured in their past."

Considering your genuine feelings for Yan Luoxi, he hasn’t held it against you too much as long as you can ultimately bring happiness to Yan Luoxi, which would give an account to your mother. This is a mutually beneficial solution.

I didn't expect that you'd be so stubborn and irresponsible, causing another change midway. Your mother still believes that Yan Luoxi is living happily with Zhou Guangtao now. You can stop loving Yan Luoxi now; you don’t need her anymore. How are you going to explain this to your father and mother How much heartache will you cause your mother

Lian An, who was accustomed to being indulged, was completely speechless after his brother’s scolding. At this moment, he finally realized the consequences of his rashness and lack of responsibility.

Seeing Lian An's remorseful expression, Liyi slowly softened his tone: "You not only refuse to repent for your wrongdoings but also indulge yourself in eating, drinking, and playing while taking out your anger on others, nearly beating that Liu Sihu to death."

Hearing his brother mention the person he had beaten, Lian An gave a light scoff. “He’s such a coward; how can he be called Liu Sihu I should change my name to Wu Song then.”

"Shut up," If the person in front of him was not his beloved younger brother, Li Yitian would really want to give him a good beating. "That Liu Sihu is now considered an important figure in this city. Being beaten by you in public has made many people unhappy with our Li family. Many are using this as an excuse to criticize us, saying we bully others and act arrogantly."

"Why would they come after me Let them come after me," Li An glared fiercely.

Li Yitian sighed and rubbed his face. "Do you think it's still the past where killing a person is like killing a dog If you really killed that Liu Sihu, you'd also have to bear legal responsibility and go to jail."

"So what if I go to jail" Li An said stubbornly.

Li Yitian revealed disappointment on his face for the first time, quickly followed by a hint of weariness. He laughed instead of getting angry. "It seems that I've spoiled you rotten these years. Not only have you made no progress, but you're also obstinate and inflexible. Even if you hit that Liu Sihu, it's fine. If you want to go to jail, nobody will stop you, but why did you almost strangle Mei Zhuo Have you considered how you would face the Shao family and Chen family if you accidentally killed Mei Zhuo How can Dad face Uncle Chen How can Mom face Aunt Xiaoshuang"

Li An, you're really too reckless. Why have you become this way—arrogant, impatient, decadent, rash, acting recklessly, and ignorant of the hardships of life and the importance of caring for others Do you ever think about how your loved ones feel Have you considered how much effort I have to put in to clean up all these messes"

Seeing the weariness and fatigue in his brother's eyes, Li An felt a pang in his heart. In reality, his brother was still quite young; with their family background and his brother’s appearance and character, he should be enjoying success and confidence. But over these years, he has taken on too many responsibilities for the family clan, endured too much turmoil from the underworld, and faced the unpredictable business world's twists and turns. The worries and pains of it all are not something ordinary people can understand, causing his brother to mature and age prematurely.outh: "I thought you were some chaste maiden who would spend your life pining for your dear Zhou Guangtao brother. But from what I can see now, the feelings you have for him aren't that deep after all...
