Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce Chapter 143 – The Protective Madam Huo

Since the Old Madam had taken the initiative to mention it, Old Master Huo explained to her patiently, “I did hire fourth young master of the Li family to be the CEO of the pharmaceutical company…”

Madam Harris quickly stopped him. “Hubby, your decision is too rash. Think about it. The Li family’s pharmaceutical corporation has a hundred years of history and a strong foundation. Our family’s pharmaceutical corporation has only been around for more than ten years. It’s not appropriate to make enemies with them now. Moreover, since Li Xiaoran is from the Li family, how can he be willing to work for the Huo family?”

Madam Huo did not know that Li Xiaoran was her precious grandson. The reason why Old Master Harris hid it from her was because he felt that the time was not ripe. After all, Li Xiaoran did not have a strong emotional attachment to the Huo family. Old Master Huo did not want him to be awkward and cold when he saw Madam Huo, so he did not tell her the truth.

However, since Madam Huo already knew about the existence of this child, Old Master Huo was not prepared to continue hiding it from his wife.

He gently held his wife’s hand and explained patiently, “Madam, you’ll definitely like this child when you see him. Who knows, you might dote on him even more than me. Not to mention the pharmaceutical company, you might even give him the entire Huo Group.”

Mrs. Huo said with a straight face, “No matter how much you like him, he’s not your child. You still have to be careful.”

Old Master Huo smiled brightly. He picked up his phone and found Li Xiaoran’s photo. He handed it to his wife excitedly. “Madam, look at this child.”

Madam Huo took the phone with trembling hands. When she saw Li Xiaoran’s face that resembled her younger daughter’s, she screamed in shock.

“Oh my god!” She looked at Old Master Huo excitedly. “He looks like my Xinping.”

Her youngest daughter had run away from home for love and died in a foreign land. It had always been an indescribable pain for Madam Huo.

All these years, she regretted that she had been too busy with her business to walk into her child’s heart and experience her loneliness. In the end, she had let her leave home.

Perhaps it was because she had been in the business world all year round and had seen many cunning people, the old madam calmly returned the phone to the old man and said, “So what if he looks like Xinping? He’s still a child of the Li family. This is an irrevocable fact. Hubby, I know you miss your daughter, but you’re channeling our longing for her to someone unrelated.”

Old Master Huo choked as he told her, “Madam, it’s true that he’s the young master of the Li family, but he’s also our precious grandson.”

Mrs. Huo was petrified.

“What did you say?” she stammered.

“I’ve done a paternity test with him and confirmed that he’s Xinping’s son. The child is very outstanding and has a good heart. It’s just that his path of growth is a little bumpy. Old Master Li doesn’t treat illegitimate children well, and the child’s own relationship path isn’t too smooth, so he’s a little depressed.”

Mrs. Huo cried bitterly. “Hubby, why are you only telling me now? I want to see him. I want to bring him back. I want to make it up to him.”

“Madam, don’t be agitated. The child resisted acknowledging us previously. It took me a long time to make him agree to come to the Huo family.”

Mrs. Huo’s attitude instantly took a 180-degree turn. She complained to her husband, “Since he’s our grandson, how can you only give him a pharmaceutical group? In my opinion, the Huo family’s assets will be divided into two. Half will be given to our Huo Zhou and the other half to Xiaoran.”

Old Master Huo smiled and said, “The child has a backbone. It’s said that after he entered junior high school, his tuition fee was reduced because of his good grades. He relied on himself until he entered university. He even established his own company and is also the youngest influential figure in the neurosurgery department.”

Mrs. Huo was overjoyed, but she felt sad. “You have to watch over such a good child. Let him do whatever he wants. You can’t let him walk her mother’s path again.”

“I know, I know,” Old Master Huo quickly replied.

Madam Huo ordered again, “The child has always lived in the Li family and has some feelings for the Li family. If we make things too ugly with the Li family, the child will feel uncomfortable in the middle. In the future, give in to the Li family more.”

Old Master Huo was furious at the mention of the Li family. “Hmph, Old Master Li is a father. The Li family has a huge business, but they didn’t give our Xiaoran a single cent. Now that Xiaoran has come to the Huo family to take up a position, the Li family has tried all means to trip him up. Just based on this, it can be seen how unhappy Xiaoran is in the Li family.”

Madam Huo was furious.

She was once a famous iron lady in the business world. She did things swiftly and decisively. Although she had retired for many years, she was now supporting her grandson and restoring her glory.

“They actually bullied my pitiful maternal grandson. Since the Li family is heartless, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Tomorrow, I’ll come out of retirement and protect my grandson.”

The next day, when Li Xiaoran arrived at the Huo Corporation to work, he sensed that the atmosphere today was very different from usual.

His secretary told him, “CEO Li, this is big news. Old Madam Huo has reappeared. Today’s shareholders’ meeting will be personally hosted by Old Madam.”

“Madam Huo?” Li Xiaoran did not react for a while before realizing that this old lady was her grandmother.

The secretary reminded him in a low voice, “CEO, you have to be careful. Because you openly started a war with the Likang Corporation when you were newly appointed, it caused many shareholders to explode. They secretly complained to the chairman. I reckon that Old Madam came back because of you.”

Li Xiaoran walked towards the meeting room calmly.

When he entered the conference room, almost all the shareholders were present. Everyone had gloating smiles on their faces, as if they were waiting to see Li Xiaoran being expelled from the Huo family.

Li Xiaoran raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was time for the meeting.

He didn’t understand why these old men came to the conference room in advance.

He sat in the CEO’s seat.

The shareholder beside him rolled his eyes at him and said, “CEO Li, Old Madam Huo is an invincible legend in the business world. She has sharp eyes and knows heroes well. I think Old Madam Huo will definitely be able to expose your tricks.”

Li Xiaoran gave him a bright smile. “Before Old Madam became a legend, there must have been mediocre people like you who didn’t trust her.”

The old shareholder was furious.

At this moment, Chairman Huo and Madam Huo walked into the vast conference room in high spirits.

There was a round of intense applause in the conference room.

At this moment, the group of old shareholders flattered her. “Madam is still as punctual as before. You’re not early or late. You’re really as elegant as before.”

Li Xiaoran was speechless.

He was a minute early and the old lady was a minute late, but they complained about him and praised the old lady. The double standard was too obvious.
