Chapter 467 - 467 Divorce
467 Divorce
Li Zeyu hugged his mother’s shoulder. “Mom, pull yourself together. You still have a tough battle to fight.”
Third Madam looked at Zeyu in confusion. Zeyu explained, “You still have to clean up Dad’s assets and pay his debts.”
“I don’t…” Third Madam loved money and couldn’t bear to see the wealth she had worked so hard to build disappear.
“Mom, be strong. You can’t keep these things.” Li Zeyu cruelly told her the truth. “The court has already forcefully frozen all of Dad’s assets, including our bank cards. Now, we might not even be able to keep the Li family villa we live in.”
Third Madam stood up shakily. “So, I have nothing? No money, no one?”
Li Zeyu hugged her. “Mom, you still have me and Zefeng.”
As Third Madam looked at her son, tears streamed down her face.
“You’re old enough to get married and have children, but Mom doesn’t have a single cent. How are you going to get married and have children?”
Li Zeyu smiled bitterly. “Mom, I’m a man. Just like Li Zecheng, we can start all over again.”
Third Madam cried sadly. “He has Huo Xiaoran to help him make a comeback. But what about you?”
Li Zeyu said, “Mom, believe me, I’ll let you live a good life.”
The three of them hugged their heads and cried for a while.
In the end, Third Madam calmed down.
Looking back, she had been chasing after Li Tingfeng her entire life. In order to please him and obtain his monetary rewards, she had really schemed.
And he, as a mature and savvy man, had also set a trap for her. Being young and ignorant, she sank step by step. As a result, she lost her ability to rely on herself.
But now that she realized it, she regretted it.
She wanted to completely escape Li Tingfeng’s shackles, be it her body or her thoughts.
Third Madam entrusted her lawyer to write the divorce agreement. Then, she brought the divorce agreement to the prison to see Li Tingfeng.
After not seeing him for a few days, Li Tingfeng’s hair had turned white. His plump face had also become extremely thin. When he saw Third Madam, he was especially excited. “Madam, did you help me hire a famous lawyer…”
Third Madam looked at him indifferently.
Li Tingfeng was speechless. “You didn’t, right?”
Third Madam nodded. “All the assets in the family have been frozen. How can I have the money to hire a lawyer for you?”
Li Tingfeng’s hopes were dashed. He complained to her dejectedly, “I bought so much jewelry for you in the past. You can sell it and get a portion of the money, right? Even if you can’t hire the best lawyer, you can hire an experienced lawyer, right?”
Third Madam looked at him sarcastically. “If all my money is spent on you, what will happen to my children?”
Li Tingfeng was stunned.
He completely felt the coldness and heartlessness of his new wife.
“You don’t actually care if I live or die, do you?” he said weakly.
Third Madam nodded. “Yes.”
Li Tingfeng did not expect her to change so quickly. His eyes were filled with despair.
At that moment, he inexplicably thought of his ex-wife, Huang Yushu. Huang Yushu was hot-tempered and greedy, but at least she cared about him. If he was sick, she would get up in the middle of the night to pour him water and medicine. Even when she was sick, no matter how bitter and tired she was, she would make him a bowl of hot food when he returned home.
But he didn’t cherish her kindness.
He despised her increasingly aged face and became more indifferent to her.
He’d married the young new wife, the woman who’d been submissive before marriage and greedy after.
He suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly. “Hahaha.”
“What are you laughing at?” Third Madam asked him. Her tone was impatient.
“I’m laughing at myself. I was blind,” Li Tingfeng said.
A hint of shame flashed across Third Madam’s eyes.
But she still handed him the divorce agreement. “I’m here today to divorce you. I’m willing to leave with nothing.”
Li Tingfeng looked at her steadily. Her heartlessness and coldness chilled him. “I, Li Tingfeng, have doted on you my entire life. For you, I divorced my first wife and treated my two children coldly. I didn’t expect you to treat me like this in the end. I thought that you would accompany me through this crisis on account of us being husband and wife.”
Third Madam said nothing.
Li Tingfeng’s words made her feel a little ashamed.
“I, Li Tingfeng, met a bad person and didn’t know her well. I actually fell into the hands of a heartless woman like you. I doted on you my entire life and even watched you hurt Ze’en. Hehe, in the end, when something happened to me, you abandoned me.”
Third Madam lowered her head.
‘You jinx. I shouldn’t have married you. I shouldn’t have known you.’
“Get lost. I won’t get a divorce. I’ll wear you down even if I die.”
Third Madam looked up in disappointment. “If you don’t divorce me, I can only sue for divorce.”
Li Tingfeng said, “Then sue. Anyway, I have time and energy to waste with you.”
As Third Madam left gloomily, Li Tingfeng looked at her determined figure and tears streamed down his face.
The detective agency successfully completed its first business. That evening, just before work ended, the client appeared.
“Brother, why are you here?” Ze’en was the first to see Li Zecheng and called out excitedly.
Li Zecheng saw Ze’en’s red eyes and patted her head. “You must have had a hard time these past few days, right? Why don’t I give you a sum of money for you to go on a trip to relax?”
Qiao An walked over and rolled her eyes at him. “Are you her boss or am I? The detective agency is so busy. How can we have time to travel?”
Li Zecheng could not help but laugh. “Sorry, Aunt, I thought you were very free here?”
Ze’en raised a stack of mission slips and said, “Brother, the detective agency has recently taken on a lot of investigations into men cheating on their wives. I hope you won’t become the target of our investigation in the future.”
Li Zecheng smiled and said, “You don’t even have a sister-in-law. Are you just concerned that I would cheat? Besides, I’ve fallen into a trap before. Will I fall into it a second time?”
With that, he glanced meaningfully at Qiao An. “If you want to investigate me, you might as well investigate Uncle. He’s the richest man in the capital. Many women admire him. Ouch.”
Before he could finish, he received a solid slap to the head.
“Li Zecheng, who gave you the guts to talk about your boss behind his back?”
Li Zecheng turned around and smiled awkwardly when he saw Huo Xiaoran. “Uncle, why are you here?”
“I’m picking Aunt up from work.”
Li Ze’en teased, “Uncle watches Aunt so closely every day and can’t wait to stick to her 24 hours a day. In my opinion, Uncle won’t cheat. On the other hand, Aunt is very likely to cheat, right?”
There was too much information in these words. The three of them stared at Li Ze’en.
Huo Xiaoran’s handsome face darkened. “Ze’en, continue speaking.”
