Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

391 Wei Xin’s Departure

Tears streamed down the old lady’s face as she complained sadly, “I didn’t teach my children well. When I was young, I only knew how to teach you to fight with the fourth branch, but I forgot to tell you that bloodline and kinship are more important than money and fame. Now, I’ve triumphed over Ping’er, but I’ve lost my entire life. Ping’er’s children are at least young and promising, and they value friendship and righteousness. What about my children? All of them are treacherous and abandoned their wives and children…”

The old lady thumped her chest and stomped her feet in heartache. “Is this God’s punishment for me? God, I beg you, everything. It’s all my fault for being narrow-minded. I don’t want this glory and wealth. I just want you to return that harmonious family to me.”

Li Tingfeng snorted. “Mom, can you stop acting?”

Li Zecheng staggered to the old lady and knelt in front of her. He choked and said, “Grandma, I was unfilial. I’ve set a bad example. Now, I’ve fallen into such a state. I blame the heavens for nothing. You don’t have to chase them away. Because of this family, I never want to come back. From today onwards, Li Tingfeng and I will cut ties.”

Li Zecheng kowtowed three times to the old lady and the old man before leaving decisively.

The old man was trembling with anger. He scolded Li Tingfeng, “You’ll suffer retribution for abandoning your wife and son. Just you wait. Sooner or later, you’ll regret it.”

Li Tingfeng did not believe it. He said anxiously, “Dad, as you can see, Huang Yushu and I don’t get along. She instigated my son and daughter to hate me. I have to divorce her. Otherwise, my life will be ruined by her.”

Old Master Li knew that persuasion was futile. He only said calmly to the butler, “Send me back to the house.”

The old lady closed her eyes in despair and sighed.

The entire Li family was shrouded in dark clouds. Although no one said it, they knew very well that the Li family had been split into two.

After Li Zecheng left the Li family, he came to his mother and wife’s rented apartment in a daze.

When he knocked on the old door with trembling hands, Wei Xin opened the door for him with the mentally paralyzed child in her arms.

Seeing Li Zecheng, Wei Xin was stunned and did not speak. Instead, she carried the child and walked away calmly.

Guilt flashed across Li Zecheng’s eyes. “Wei Xin.”

He knew that his relationship with Wei Xin was on the verge of collapse. However, Li Zecheng was unwilling to admit that he was as inhumane as his father. He was unwilling to be like his father and abandon his wife and children.

He’d already missed one chance and should not continue making mistakes.

Moreover, when the third branch fell, Wei Xin was not as unreasonable as before. Although she was unhappy, she could still help her suffering mother-in-law. Li Zecheng was grateful to her from the bottom of his heart.

He walked in and walked up to Wei Xin. He carried the child over and said, “Wei Xin, let’s talk.”

Wei Xin said, “You should go and see your mother first.”

Li Zecheng said gratefully, “It’s all thanks to you these days.”

Wei Xin said, “Don’t thank me. It’s Qiao An’s relief fund.”

Li Zecheng was stunned.

Then, she laughed at herself. “I didn’t expect her to be willing to help me.”

Wei Xin rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t flatter yourself. She said that she did it for the sake of the two children.”

Li Zecheng smiled bitterly.

For the first time, he said to Wei Xin sincerely, “Wei Xin, I’ve broken up with the Li family. I’m penniless now. I think you’ll suffer a lot if you follow me. If you’re unwilling to suffer with me, I can divorce you. As for the children, you can give them both to me. While you’re young, you can pursue your happiness again.”

Wei Xin was very calm as if she had known that this day would come.

“You’ve wanted to divorce me for a long time, right?”

Li Zecheng said nothing.

Wei Xin smiled bitterly. “I don’t blame you. Sometimes, I think that if I hadn’t pestered you back then and you and Qiao An hadn’t gotten a divorce, you might still be that high and mighty CEO.”

Li Zecheng said, “Don’t misunderstand. In fact, even without you, Qiao An and I wouldn’t have gone far. The person she loves has always been Uncle Huo Xiaoran.”

Wei Xin fell silent.

At this moment, Third Madam, who was in the bedroom, fell off the bed excitedly when she heard that her son and wife were getting a divorce.

Li Zecheng and Wei Xin quickly ran in.

“Mom.” Li Zecheng placed the child on the ground and carried Third Madam back to the bed.

Third Madam held Li Zecheng’s hand excitedly and begged, “Zecheng, don’t divorce Wei Xin. Listen to me, you’ve already divorced once and suffered from it. It wasn’t easy for you and Wei Xin to get together and have a pair of children. Live well and don’t cause trouble in the future. It’s fine if your father breaks up with you. I still have some money left and can support you in a small business.”

Li Zecheng glanced at Wei Xin and said, “Mom, it’s not a matter of whether we want a divorce now. Wei Xin has the right to choose to live a better life.”

Third Madam looked at Wei Xin hesitantly. “Wei Xin, I know Mom let you down in the past. I have a bad temper and am not a good mother-in-law. Zecheng is also not a good husband. However, we have experienced so much suffering. Our personalities will change. Wei Xin, I promise to be a good mother-in-law in the future and Zecheng will also be a good husband.”

Wei Xin’s tears fell.

She laughed at herself. “Mom, if you weren’t paralyzed, would you have dissuaded me from our divorce?”

Third Madam was speechless.

After a long time, Third Madam stammered, “I understand. We’re out of your league now. Yet you have to serve me, a sick mother-in-law. Naturally, you’re unwilling. I don’t blame you.”

Wei Xin said, “You’re my mother-in-law. It’s only right for me to serve you. But I’ve always thought that you treated me so badly in the past. Why should I repay evil with kindness? I’m sorry, I’m not that noble.”

“Besides, you only say a few nice words to me now that you’re down and out. If I were down and out, you might not be able to say such warm words today.”

With that, Wei Xin turned around and left.

She was bitterly disappointed in Third Madam.

Tears rolled down Third Madam’s face. “It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault.”

Li Zecheng comforted her. “Mom, don’t be sad. If she wants to leave, then let her leave. I’ll take care of you and raise the children in the future. We can live like this.”

Third Madam nodded desperately.

The night was cold.

Huo Xiaoran sat in the study in a daze and closed his eyes to rest.

He sat there for half the night.

Qiao An tiptoed in, walked up to him, and draped the blanket around him.

“Brother Xiaoran, don’t catch a cold.”

Huo Xiaoran reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Qiao An’s gaze landed on the desk and the notes Huo Xiaoran had written.

Her pupils dilated.
