Chapter 414 - 414 Suicide
414 Suicide
Li Zecheng was secretly shocked to see the ruthlessness in Li Tingfeng’s eyes.
“I’ll wait,” he said lightly. “If I’m lucky enough not to die, then the next person to be taken by the Black and White Impermanence would be you.”
Then, Li Zecheng stood up and walked to Li Ze’en’s side. He picked her up and said, “Sister, I’ll take you back.”
Li Ze’en remembered her purpose for staying in the Li family and said angrily, “I’m not going back. I want to stay here and wait for you and Mom to come home.”
Li Zecheng said, “Even if you want to stay here, you should treat your injuries first.”
Li Zecheng took Li Ze’en away.
Li Tingfeng was helped back to his room by Madam. He lay on the bed in pain and gritted his teeth.
The mistress incited him. “Look at your son. He’s simply a wolf. If Huo Xiaoran hadn’t stopped him today, you would have been beaten to death by him today. In my opinion, let’s call the police and send him in.”
Li Tingfeng rolled his eyes at her. “You’re short-sighted. If he hits us, it’s at most family violence. We won’t be able to lock him up for long. Won’t he take revenge on us when he comes out?”
“I have to think of a way to get it over with.”
Madam beamed when she heard this. But when she expressed concern about her daughter’s health, she realized that Zefeng’s attitude towards her was very bad.
Her daughter was not only cold to her but filled with hatred.
“It’s all your fault for being someone else’s mistress and destroying someone else’s family. That’s why you brought so much disaster to our family. You’re a jinx.”
The woman stared at her daughter in disbelief. She lost control and roared, “How can you be so rude to me? I’m your mother. I’m doing this to give you and your brother a complete family.”
Li Zefeng cried, “In order to give me and my brother a complete family, you destroyed their home. Aren’t you afraid of retribution?”
The woman slapped her daughter in exasperation.
“I don’t have an ungrateful daughter like you.”
Li Zefeng covered her face and looked at her mother in disappointment. Suddenly, she stood up and ran out.
That night, Li Zefeng did not return.
For the first time, the obedient Li Zefeng did not return all night, which made Li Tingfeng and the woman especially anxious.
Li Tingfeng was very angry. He roared at the woman, “Why did you hit her? If anything happens to Zefeng, I’ll divorce you.”
At that moment, the woman finally experienced the helplessness of being abandoned by everyone. She cried for most of the night.
Li Tingfeng did not comfort her. Instead, he despised her. “Don’t cry. It’s annoying to hear. If you have time to cry, you might as well think of a way to find your daughter.”
That night, the third branch was in chaos.
Madam sat on the sofa in the living room all night. She remembered the peaceful days of the past. They had sung and laughed and were happy.
When did the change begin?
Perhaps from the moment she deliberately chased Huo Xiaoran out of the Li family and neglected him, this family seemed to have started to decline.
Perhaps it was because Li Zecheng had married Qiao An but didn’t cherish her and left her to the kidnappers that the Li family’s foundation began to collapse.
Perhaps since Huang Yushu and Li Tingfeng’s relationship broke down, this home no longer felt like home.
Madam finally sighed and felt like a failure.
She was the one who had not educated her children well.
She only taught them to hate Huo Xiaoran and to fight for the Li family’s assets, so that they lost the ability to rely on themselves.
She got up from the sofa and walked slowly to the medicine cabinet. She picked up the paraquat she had prepared many days ago and consumed it.
“Madam!” Her personal maid roared at the top of her lungs when she realized that she had consumed the paraquat.
This roar instantly summoned everyone in the Li family villa.
“What’s wrong?” First Madam ran out in a panic.
When she saw Madam still holding the medicine bottle in her hand and turning to look at the room with a hopeless expression, First Madam seemed to realize something.
“Mom, what did you drink?”
Madam suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.
“Don’t try to save me. It won’t work. I drank paraquat. I’m doomed. I just want to say something to you before I die.”
When everyone heard that she had poisoned herself, their expressions changed drastically.
Madam said, “You were all my good children in the past. You were obedient, united, and loving. I was proud of you at one time. But I didn’t expect that what tested people’s hearts was never wealth, but poverty. When the Li family collapsed, your ruthlessness, your greed, and your selfishness were all revealed.”
“Eldest son, you want to earn a lot of money. For the money, you almost never take care of your wife and children at home. But having enough money is good enough. I hope you won’t disappoint your wife and children and end up like your third brother.”
“Second Brother, your aptitude is average, so you have no desires. But you’re too selfish. You just want to protect yourself and don’t care enough about your brothers.”
“Third Brother… If you ask me why I poisoned myself today, it’s because of you. If you ask me whether there is something I regret doing in my life, I would say that I regret giving birth to you.” Madam’s anger and disappointment overflowed.
Li Tingfeng looked helpless. “Mom, I’m still injured.”
Madam sneered. “You asked for it. You’re so heartless to your first wife and so mean to your biological children. You won’t have a good ending in this life. I’m not cursing you. I can’t curse you after having birthed you, but I know that you will definitely not have a good ending. Look, Li Zecheng hates you to the core, and Ze’en is also scheming against you. These siblings can’t wait for you to die.”
“Where are Ze Feng and Ze Yu? They’re good children and can’t withstand your torture. They’ll probably steer clear of you in the future. When you’re old, you’ll really be alone.”
“I’m rich. What am I afraid of?” Li Tingfeng did not believe it.
Madam said, “What if you don’t have money? You can ruin the Li family’s hundred-year-old foundation. Do you think you can be rich for the rest of your life? Besides, with your unknown assets, you might be haboring trouble.”
Li Tingfeng looked dejected.
Madam’s gaze landed on the mistress again. She pointed at her and cursed, “I don’t curse Li Tingfeng, but I curse you. I curse you to a horrible death.”
The woman trembled in fear. “Mom, I don’t usually disrespect you. Why are you treating me like this?”
Madam said, “Because you caused my two poor grandchildren to lose their parents’ protection. You’ll get what’s coming to you.”
