It was a mess.

A number of them had to be sent to the hospital.

When Old Mr. Li woke up, he was still on a drip.

There was a lot of commotion around.

“How do you even take care of Dad? Your daughter is dead, are you trying to kill Dad too? Li Haoran, I never knew you were so cruel!”

There was yelling going on.

“Haobin...” Old Master struggled to speak.

Li Haobin immediately kept quiet and went to check on Old Master’s condition.

Li Haoran’s family hurriedly went forward too.

“Dad.”

“Grandpa.”

“Who are you calling Grandpa? You’re an outsider. Just because you bear the Li family name now doesn’t make you one of us.” Li Haobin sneered by the bedside. “Ying’er, pour a glass of water for Grandpa.”

Li Ying nodded and shot Li Xueqing a smug look.

Fang Zhili didn’t look too happy about this. “Ying’er’s hand was injured by Nian Nian just a while back. Let Xueqing do it instead.”

“Sure.” Li Xueqing got to the jug a step earlier than Li Ying.

Li Ying was unwilling to admit defeat as she hurriedly grabbed a paper cup.

Li Haobin cleared his throat deliberately to signal for them to stop their antics. He then turned to Old Master. “Dad, are you feeling unwell?”

Old Mr. Li looked pale and weak. “Where’s Nian Nian?”

Upon hearing her name, everyone went quiet.

“Grandpa, have some water.”

Li Ying handed him a cup of warm water.

Li Xueqing added on, for fear of being at a disadvantage, “Grandpa, it’s getting cold recently. Have something warm to drink.”

Old Mr. Li’s expression turned awful and he swung his hand in annoyance.

The cup Li Xueqing was holding fell to the ground.

“Ah!” Li Xueqing screamed as the water spilled on her.

“We don’t even know if Nian Nian is dead or alive, and here you’re in the mood to be bickering!” Old Mr. Li yelled before he went into a coughing fit.

Li Haobin got worried. “Ying’er, water!”

Li Ying hurriedly handed him the cup of water. When Old Mr. Li gulped it down, she turned and side-eyed Li Xueqing proudly.

Li Xueqing was still busy trying to wipe herself dry and was getting frustrated now.

Li Haobin’s eyes were getting a little teary. “Nian Nian might not be coming back.”

Old Mr. Li cried out, “It’s me. I let her down! I let Nian Nian down!”

“Dad, I’m sorry...” Li Haoran’s eyes were red too. “I didn’t expect this to happen either...”

“You didn’t expect it?” Old Mr. Li slapped him hard on the face. “If you’d shown Nian Nian a little more concern, this wouldn’t have happened!”

“Grandpa...” Li Xueqing quietly said, “Nian Nian might just be playful. Maybe she’s forgotten to inform us...”

“The surveillance cameras already captured it. The driver was Nian Nian. The car exploded, how could she possibly be alive?” Li Ying appeared to be a little sad too. “Although Nian Nian had been rather violent towards me, she’s my younger sister, after all. We haven’t even had the time to bond with each other, and this had to happen...”

Bond with each other?

More like taking revenge on her...

Li Xueqing looked at her with disdain as she tried to feign sadness herself. “Impossible, she can’t be dead... Isn’t she going to marry Brother Donglin? She told me she wanted me as her bridesmaid...”

Li Xueqing rubbed her eyes as a pretense.

“Right... Now that Nian Nian is gone, is it time to change the person in the marriage contract with the Mu Family, Dad?” Li Haobin asked.
