Chapter 349: Divorce
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao An’s retort made everyone shudder.
If Huo Xiaoran really wanted to pursue the matter, the crime of Madam hurting Xiaoran’s mother was not light.
Even if Madam was already indifferent to life and death, how could the descendants of the Li family tolerate becoming the children of murderers?
This time, Li Tingfeng was speechless.
Everyone looked at Huo Xiaoran in fear and trepidation, but Huo Xiaoran’s expression was desolate as if he had fallen into a conflict.
Qiao An held Huo Xiaoran’s hand tightly and called softly, “Brother Xiaoran.”
When Huo Xiaoran heard Qiao An’s healing voice, he slowly raised his head. Seeing Qiao An’s heartache, he suddenly felt enlightened.
The past couldn’t be forgotten, but he still had Qiao An and the children. For them, he had to be strong, right? How could he let a weak woman like Qiao An worry about him?
Huo Xiaoran pulled himself together and called out to the people kneeling on the ground, “All of you, get up.”
“Xiaoran, unless you can forgive us, we won’t dare to get up,” Second Brother said.
Li Tingfeng echoed, “Xiaoran, my mother was the one who hurt your mother. I hope you’ll give up suing her when you see these innocent nephews and nieces?”
Huo Xiaoran sneered. “Forgive? How? Madam hurt my mother and made me lose my mother when I was young. I lived like an orphan. I’m also innocent, but how did you treat an innocent child like me?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLi Tingfeng was speechless.
Huo Xiaoran was silent for a moment before saying, “I reserve the right to sue Madam.”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Huo Xiaoran stood up and held Qiao An’s hand. “An’an, let’s go.”
“Okay.” Qiao An helped Huo Xiaoran leave.
The Li family looked at each other in extreme fear. The second son complained, “Mom, how can you say this out loud? It’s not like you don’t know that Xiaoran has always been brooding over his mother’s death. If you take the initiative to confess, won’t you be giving him something to use against you? Even if you don’t consider your own wellbeing, you have to consider our future.”
Madam cried and choked. “You can’t hide it. Do you know that not long ago, Xiaoran had already sent someone to investigate the cause of his mother’s death? I’m afraid he already knew that his mother died from poison. Otherwise, why would he be returning to the Li family so frequently?”
“Huh?” Second Brother was very surprised.
Li Tingfeng looked at the old man resentfully and said, “Dad, you also know that Xiaoran is wholeheartedly against the Li family. Why did you give him the shares of the Soaring Cloud Group? His value has increased exponentially. Isn’t it easy for him to deal with our Li family?”
Old Master Li sneered. “Do you think you can avoid his revenge if I hand the Soaring Cloud Group to you? Let me tell you, if any of you were as strong as him, your parents wouldn’t have taken the initiative to tell him this today.”
Old Master Li closed his eyes in despair. “It’s true that our Li family has let Ping’er down. Now, I only hope that after Xiaoran finds out the truth, he can see that we’re sincerely repentant and forgive our Li family.”
Just as everyone was racking their brains to think of a way to deal with this crisis, Third Madam shouted as if nothing had happened, “Zecheng, let’s go.”
Li Tingfeng looked at her in surprise and said angrily, “What do you mean? Everyone is anxious to think of a solution, but you’re not anxious at all.”
Third Madam looked at him as if he was a clown. “Didn’t you want to divorce me? What does the Li family’s matter have to do with me?”
Li Tingfeng was furious. “But we’re not divorced yet.”
Third Madam sneered. “In my heart, we’ve long divorced.”
Li Tingfeng was so angry that he raised his hand to hit Third Madam. However, Old Master scolded, “Stop.”
Li Tingfeng slowly lowered his hand.
Old Master Li reprimanded, “You saw it too. Because of your mother’s fight with Ping’er, we’ve created such a huge disaster for this family. Aren’t you going to learn your lesson?”
“Hmph, Tingfeng, your parents had to deall with terrible outcomes because of a third party. Your son, Zecheng, gave up his smart wife. Do you still want to make such a mistake?”
Li Tingfeng fell silent as if he was seriously thinking about his father’s words.
Seeing that the situation was very bad for her, the mistress immediately cried and showed weakness.
“How can I compare to those mistresses? I’ve been with Tingfeng for twenty years. I’ve given birth to two children for him. In my eyes, he’s my husband. If Tingfeng doesn’t want me at this time, how can I live?”
Li Tingfeng’s heart softened. After all, this was not a woman who had just come to him. She was a woman who had slept with him for twenty years. In his heart, his feelings for her were closer than his relationship with Third Madam.
Seeing that Li Tingfeng could not make up his mind, Old Master Li said, “Tingfeng, take good care of her and the child. Don’t let her suffer. But from now on, you have to return to your family.”
Li Tingfeng glanced at Third Madam and saw that she was looking at him indifferently as if she was looking at a stranger.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLi Tingfeng rejected Old Master Li’s words. “Dad, I really don’t have any feelings for Yushu anymore.”
Old Master Li asked Third Madam, “Is that so?”
Third Madam said, “I don’t know if I have feelings for him, but I won’t get a divorce.” She wanted to drag him along so that he could never enjoy being with that woman openly.
Li Tingfeng roared, “Huang Yushu, what do you want?”
The woman held Li Tingfeng’s hand and said softly, “Tingfeng, give Sister some compensation since she’s not going to have anyone to rely on in her next life. She will naturally agree.”
Third Madam suddenly turned around and walked up to the woman. Li Tingfeng quickly protected the woman in his arms.
Third Madam sneered. The more he protected her, the more she hated him.
She said faintly, “I won’t agree to the divorce. Not until I die. This way, you two will always be an adulterous couple.”
Third Madam cursed Li Tingfeng and that woman with the most vicious words. They were so angry that their faces darkened. However, they could not do anything to Third Madam.
In the end, Li Tingfeng roared in exasperation, “Divorce. I want to sue for divorce.”
Like a warrior, Third Madam smiled and said, “If you dare to sue for divorce, I’ll dare to spread all the evidence of your affair and tax evasion all these years. I’ll destroy you.”
Li Tingfeng’s face alternated between green and white.
“You’re simply crazy.”
Third Madam said, “Every woman who’s been divorced is crazy.”
Then, Third Madam glanced at the mistress. “As I recall, the first step in Qiao An’s battle with the mistress back then was to ask the mistress for the assets that belonged to her. Now, I also want you to cough up the money he spent on you all these years as soon as possible. Otherwise, I’ll tear you apart too.”
