She Has to Endure It All!

Xiao Xixi became instantly nervous when she heard this. "Dad, what do you mean? What do you mean by sending me over?"
"What the Li family wants is someone who can marry Li Haojue. If we can't find Xiao Fan, the Xiao family has another daughter, right? As long as we can reach a marriage alliance, then…" Xiao Bicheng's eyes were filled with deep implications.
Lu Ting, understanding his intentions, quickly stepped forward and pulled Xiao Xixi behind her. "Xiao Bicheng, let me tell you, Xixi is my only daughter. I won't let you send her to the Li family to marry that disabled man, Li Haojue!"
Xiao Xixi also grasped her father's intentions. Her eyes welled up with tears. "Dad, I'm your daughter. How can you push me into this pit of fire for the sake of benefits…"
"Do you understand what the Xiao Corporation is facing now? If we can't form an alliance with the Li family and secure the investment, we'll all be left with nothing! And even if we find Xiao Fan, do you think Li Haojue will want a woman who ran away from her wedding and embarrassed him?" Xiao Bicheng felt his head would explode any moment now.
Lu Ting also understood the severity of the matter. She sat down beside Xiao Bicheng and massaged his chest. "I know this matter is difficult to resolve, but can everything be fine if we send Xixi over? Xiao Fan is the one who caused all this. Let her solve it. No matter what Li Haojue does to her, she has to endure it all!"
Xiao Xixi sat beside Xiao BiCheng with a pitiful expression. Her voice choked with sobs as she said, "Dad, I'm scared… I can't do it…"
Xiao Bicheng, with a headache, massaged his temples. "Enough, let me be alone for a while."
Meanwhile, at the Li residence.
Today was supposed to be a joyful day. While Fang Hui was pleased to see Li Haojue embarrassed, the news of the bride who ran away from her wedding was suppressed. She and Li Bowen had planned to expose a secret during the wedding. Now that it was canceled, they had no chance to expose it. In the end, they couldn't figure out whether they gained or lost from the situation.
"Brother, don't be too upset. Xiao Fan might have encountered some difficulties. Her runaway is not because she despised you…" Li Bowen deliberately emphasized the words 'despised'. He enjoyed rubbing salt on his brother's wounds.
Li Haojue remained silent, seemingly waiting for something.
Footsteps approached from outside the door. Both Li Bowen and Fang Hui instinctively turned their heads toward the door. Fang Hui stood up first, pretending to be caring, and asked, "How is it? The situation didn't escalate, right?"
Li Yourong had no mood to discuss today's matter. He glanced at Li Haojue and was about to go upstairs when Li Haojue spoke, "Father, I've been waiting for you. There's something I need to tell you in person."
Thinking Li Haojue was going to talk about the wedding, Li Yourong's face darkened. "What is it?"
Li Haojue: "From now on, I will move out of the Li family."
This statement left everyone in the living room stunned. Fang Hui looked at Li Haojue suspiciously, and Li Yourong was astonished. "Why did you suddenly make such a decision?"
"Didn't you plan for me to leave the Li family after the wedding? Now, even though it wasn't successfully held, Xiao Fan and I have officially registered our marriage. Moreover… I'm not in good health and can't fulfill my filial duties to Father. Leaving now can also be considered as fulfilling a bit of filial piety." Li Haojue spoke in a calm tone.
Although Li Yourong couldn't wait for Li Haojue to leave, he still pretended. "It is fine if you stay at home. No one is urging you to leave. But if you insist, I won't stop you."
Li Yourong was quite superstitious and believed in what the Feng Shui master had said. If Li Haojue didn't leave soon, the Li family would face calamity. Therefore, he was pleased when Li Haojue took the initiative to leave.
"Thank you, Father." Li Haojue said and turned his wheelchair towards the door. Behind him, his assistant, Xiao Lin, carried a small bag. This small bag contained all of Li Haojue's belongings.
He left the Li family without any sentimental feelings.
Fang Hui felt uneasy and asked Li Yourong, "Did he leave just like that? What is he up to? Did he move out of the Li family just like that?"
Li Bowen was also incredulous. He and his mother had always embarrassed Li Haojue, but even so, Li Haojue stayed on in the family. Now, he took the initiative to leave?
