CHAPTER 224: CHAPTER 215 COMMON SECRET

Li Yanan stood quietly in place, his eyes bloodshot, which made Lin Zhenxin’s heart ache.

He had once told her that the child was not his.

She believed him.

"Your phone has been ringing."

Lin Zhenxin’s hand rested on the back of his hand, but almost at the same time, Li Yanan recoiled as if shocked.

He looked at Lin Zhenxin with complicated eyes.

"Zhenxin, go upstairs first, alright?" Li Yanan said.

Lin Zhenxin looked at him with concern, but Li Yanan just managed to squeeze out a smile at the corner of his mouth, indicating he was fine.

"Okay, I’ll go up first. Promise me you’ll come up soon!"

Li Yanan nodded.

Soon, Lin Zhenxin’s figure disappeared at the stairway entrance.

And then Li Yanan lowered his head, finally looking at the incoming call display.

It was a call from Lu Dawei!

When Tu Haohao woke up, it was already midnight.

She had just gotten off the plane to meet He Nuoxin, hurried to the construction site in the afternoon, and had forgotten when she fell asleep.

Getting up too quickly made her dizzy, and the coat on her fell to the ground.

Li Chengze was walking in from outside, full of the smell of smoke.

Clearly, the rescue outside wasn’t going smoothly, and the Li Family also had its crisis, all of which...

As an outsider, Tu Haohao couldn’t intervene too much.

Whether the Li Family could pull through this time depended on whether anyone was willing to offer a helping hand.

Without a word exchanged, Tu Haohao avoided his gaze and leaned over to pick up her coat.

Unexpectedly, a recording pen slipped out from the coat pocket.

With a crisp click, the sound was distinct.

"Tu Haohao, let’s get married." Li Chengze suddenly spoke.

Tu Haohao froze on the spot, who knows how long, then raised her head to look at him with complicated eyes.

"Haven’t you always wanted to marry me? What is it? Now that I’m in trouble, you find me bothersome too?"

Li Chengze’s words were jarring, quickly snapping Tu Haohao back to reality.

She calmly picked up the recording pen and put it back into her pocket.

"Did my grandfather find you?" With just one glance, she figured it all out.

Indeed, Tu Shaohong had approached Li Chengze, promising to spare no expense to help him through this crisis, on the condition that he marries Tu Haohao.

Li Chengze avoided meeting her eyes.

Tu Haohao let out a bitter laugh.

"Let me think about it."

Li Yanan drove his car fast, reaching the agreed place with Lu Dawei in less than half an hour.

Pushing open the car door and getting out, Li Yanan, full of wrath, confronted the visibly anxious Lu Dawei, but before Lu Dawei could speak, Li Yanan’s vicious fist had already landed heavily on the handsome face like Pan An, with such force that it drew blood!

Lu Dawei fell to the ground defenseless, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Yet Li Yanan showed no intention of stopping, and Lu Dawei could only clutch his leg desperately, pleading repeatedly.

"Yanan, I’m your father, you can’t treat me like this!"

Lu Dawei spat out two more mouthfuls of blood froth.

"Moreover, we also have a secret... a shared secret..."

Li Yanan’s actions abruptly halted, his stern face like a motionless sketch, frozen in time.

"Give...give me a way out!"

"Secret?" The corner of Li Yanan’s mouth suddenly twisted into a sinister and cruel smile.

Lu Dawei never knew, after what had just transpired, his words were like adding fuel to the fire!

"I’m being chased for debts! Ten million; give me ten million..."

Over the years, Lu Dawei had gotten into gambling, initially able to control himself, but as time went on, the stakes kept getting higher.

With interest compounding, it had reached a staggering amount of ten million!

Before the Li Family crisis, Li Yingying used to give him some pocket money every month, but now...

"Why should I give you ten million?" Li Yanan said as he fiercely crushed Lu Dawei’s fingers touching him with the tip of his shoe.

Almost simultaneously, Lu Dawei let out a heart-wrenching scream!

"Just because you once took advantage of being drunk to sleep with He Nuoxin in my name?"

In Li Yanan’s mind, all he could think about were the rightful words from Susan He that night!

And Zhenxin looked as if she had been wronged with him!

If it weren’t for this filthy man, why should Zhenxin have suffered such grievances?

And how would he have lost a friend like He Bainian?

All these years, he bore the guilt towards He Bainian, tolerating what didn’t cross the line, all because...

He slept with He Nuoxin back then...

The man who made He Nuoxin pregnant...

Was Lu Dawei!
