Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 910

Chapter 910: Chapter 910: Just Paying Compensation

Li Huan knew there was no way he could go back tonight, so he texted Ren Xiya.

But he didn’t mention what had happened at home.

He thought Ren Xiya wouldn’t ask much, but unexpectedly, her reply came immediately.

"Are you okay?"

"Concerned about me?"

"Yes."

Ren Xiya’s sincere response moved Li Huan.

He was truly touched.

The young lady was straightforward by nature.

Li Huan thought for a moment but still didn’t explain.

"I’ll take care of it."

"Okay."

After putting down the phone, Li Huan began to sort out the family’s assets.

He had hired a professional manager to manage the Li Family’s business, and most investments were made following Gong Chen’s lead.

Gong Chen ate meat, and he drank soup.

He was quite content.

But he also understood that Gong Chen helped him out of friendship, and he couldn’t rely on others forever.

So in his spare time, he also started learning to manage a company and attempted to invest in some projects.

The returns fluctuated, but overall were acceptable.

After all, he wasn’t a professional.

Moreover, his interest lay in medicine, and he couldn’t finish reading all the books he had; his energy was really limited.

But now.

A large portion of the money couldn’t be immediately transferred from the company, so there was still a significant financial gap.

Li Huan irritably ran his hand through his hair, not even noticing when the study door was pushed open.

Mrs. Li walked in, carrying a cup of tea.

"Li Huan, I’m sorry for you."

"Mom, saying this now is pointless. I beg you, can you listen to my opinion from now on? I remember you weren’t like this before," Li Huan said helplessly.

Mrs. Li pressed her lips together, not speaking.

Indeed, she hadn’t been like this before.

The Li Family couldn’t compare with the top-tier wealthy families, but they had a foundation.

She had a husband who loved her, a harmonious family, and friendly relatives.

Both sons were well-rounded and top students in medical school.

But ever since her husband died, everything seemed to change.

Li He died, and Li Huan became disobedient.

That’s when she was momentarily swayed by a few words from Fourth Master Li.

Mrs. Li knew that nothing she could say now would make a difference.

She whispered, "My natal family left me some properties. How about selling them to at least save the Li Family’s house? Everything here was left to me by your father."

"Mom, you don’t need to worry about this. I know you’re not feeling well right now. If you trust me, can you let me handle it?"

"Okay." Mrs. Li sat down to the side, her head bowed, "Do you still resent how I treated you and Ren Xiya?"

Hearing this, Li Huan put down the documents and looked at her calmly.

"Mom, you’ll always be my mom. I could never hate you. I know you only targeted Xiya because you’re uncomfortable in your heart."

This made Mrs. Li feel even more ashamed, and she choked up slightly.

"Li Huan, last time I blamed you for not saving your brother— I didn’t mean to say it. I didn’t know..."

"Mom, the doctor already told me that wasn’t your true intention. In fact, I blame myself as well. If I had figured out Li He’s intentions earlier, I might have been able to stop him in time, and he could have turned back."

Mrs. Li suddenly realized that Li Huan was still the most understanding son she had.

She felt even more guilty towards him.

Li Huan saw through her thoughts: "Mom, go to sleep. I’ll take care of everything."

"Okay, don’t tire yourself out too much."

After Mrs. Li left, Li Huan buried himself in work again.

After a night of sorting, Li Huan was exhausted.

Li Huan calmly said, "Fourth Uncle already explained the situation to me, and I’m raising the money. Please grant us a few more days."

The man laughed heartily.

"Worthy of being a young master from a rich family, such smooth talk. But... no."

"We’re debt collectors, not philanthropists. Besides, your Fourth Uncle already promised that today it’s either money or the house."

Li Huan thought for a moment, "How about this: I’ll give you part of the money first, and the rest in three days. I’ll pay you the standard interest."

"Haha... standard interest? Young Master, what do you take us for?"

Li Huan scrutinized the person and immediately sensed something was wrong.

"You’re not here for the money; you want the house."

"Smart!" The person no longer concealed anything, "The Li Mansion is a prime location, but because of the Champion Scholar Mansion, our boss hasn’t been able to acquire the land. If the Champion Scholar Mansion belonged to our boss, privately owned, even if it were torn down or burned, no one could intervene."

Li Huan’s face grew serious.

"The investment project by Fourth Uncle—was it bait laid out by you guys?"

"It sure was. Your Fourth Uncle is foolish, and his children even more so. Just a bit of sweetness, and they’ve fallen for it."

After saying this, he impatiently waved his hand.

"Enough, I don’t want to waste words with you. We are taking the house now; drive out everyone not involved."

"Who dares!"

Mrs. Li stepped out.

She was dressed in plain clothes, her face drawn.

Evidently, she too hadn’t slept well.

Mrs. Li stood in front of Li Huan, speaking directly: "To take the house, you’ll have to step over my dead body!"

"Hey! You old woman, you refuse to be sensible. Do you really think we fear you? It’s not like we couldn’t rip you to pieces if needed."

He glared at Mrs. Li viciously.

Mrs. Li had never encountered such brazen people before, tears welled in her eyes, yet she remained in front of Li Huan.

"Try it then!"

"Everyone up! Ignore this old woman. If she’s hurt or killed, the compensation is just minor," the man had long been prepared.
