Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

399 Like a Dream

Li Zecheng returned to the rented apartment dejectedly. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled blood.

Li Zecheng had a bad feeling and shouted in panic, “Mom.”

Then, he staggered into Third Madam’s bedroom and saw her lying on the bed. There was a shocking wound on her wrist that was bleeding.

“Mom, what are you doing?” Li Zecheng shouted crazily.

Third Madam looked at Li Zecheng with a dying expression and said in pain, “Zecheng, I’m sorry. Mom doesn’t want to drag you down anymore.”

Li Zecheng roared with red eyes, “You’ve already dragged me down. You made me lose my wife, you made me lose my father, and you turned me into a loner. What’s the use of apologizing now?”

“I’ve already accepted our poverty. There’s nothing left. Why are you still looking for trouble? Do you think I’ll be grateful if you do this? Instead, I’ll just get tired of you. Why don’t you think about me? I’m already tired of living. All I want now is to get a good job and treat your condition. But do you have to tire me out?”

Third Madam quickly apologized. “Zecheng, I’m sorry. I just don’t want to implicate you. If I die, you won’t be a burden.”

Li Zecheng roared, “You’re relieved to be dead. But have you considered Ze’en and me? No one in this world will worry about us anymore.”

Tears streamed down Third Madam’s face. “Zecheng, I’m sorry. These days, Mom has been living in regret. It’s Mom’s fault. I was short-sighted and couldn’t help you keep Qiao An. It’s my fault. It’s my fault for not helping you cherish Wei Xin. I’m now paralyzed in bed and need you to take care of me. Mom is really ashamed to face you.”

Li Zecheng checked Third Madam’s injuries. Fortunately, although there were many wounds, they were relatively shallow and not life-threatening.

He sat on the ground dejectedly and said weakly, “Don’t mention the past anymore. Live a good life in the future. Don’t mess around in the future. If you have the heart to think about those things, why don’t you think about how to recover faster? I don’t expect you to help me with anything. I just hope you can take care of yourself.”

He continued, “I’m going to work at Uncle’s company tomorrow. I don’t have the money to hire a nurse for you. I’ll prepare breakfast and dinner for you. I’ll take the time to go home for lunch. I don’t have much time to accompany you. I hope you can take good care of yourself. Let me work without worry.”

Third Madam was stunned. “Son, did you beg your uncle?”

Li Zecheng said, “You know that although my surname is Li, my relatives in the Li family are all people who curry favor with the rich. I can’t bring myself to beg them. In comparison, I’d rather beg Uncle. At least he’s noble and pure. It’s not embarrassing for me to beg him.”

“Then what position did he arrange for you?” Third Madam could not hide her joy.

Li Zecheng said, “It’s already not bad that he can give me a job. After all, with my reputation, do you expect me to sit in a management position? Respect has to be earned.”

When Third Madam heard this, she was very disappointed. She thought about how her son had once been the CEO of Li Kang Corporation, but now he had gone to Huo Xiaoran’s company to be an employee at the bottom.

She felt it was a huge difference.

Her eyes were red as she said, “You’re asking for help anyway. You might as well give in to your father.”

When Li Zecheng heard this, he was furious. “Why are you so spineless? Li Tingfeng has already bullied you to this extent, and you still expect him to give us charity? Let me tell you, from the moment he chased you out of the Li family villa, I don’t have a father in my heart anymore. I won’t go back and beg him even if I have to sell everything. If you dare to give in to him behind my back, I won’t care about your matters in the future.”

Third Madam trembled. Li Zecheng’s words reminded her of the heartless things Li Tingfeng had done to her, so she quickly expressed, “Zecheng, don’t be angry. Mom also hates his heartlessness. We are incompatible in this life. It’s just that I don’t want you to suffer.”

Li Zecheng said, “Just treat him as dead in the future.”

Because he was worried about his mother’s mental state, Li Zecheng contacted his sister, Li Ze’en, on social media that night.

Li Zecheng asked her to rush back and take care of her mother.

Li Ze’en was studying overseas, and Li Tingfeng promised to let her study at a famous university overseas. However, when Li Ze’en went overseas, she realized that Li Tingfeng did not fulfil his promise.

Ze’en could not get the application at all. She called Li Tingfeng repeatedly, but Li Tingfeng brushed her off saying that he was actively contacting them.

It was not until Li Zecheng told her about the recent situation at home that Li Ze’en woke up from her dream.

“I understand now. From the beginning to the end, he never thought of sending me to a famous university.”

Li Zecheng did not know what to say.

Li Ze’en’s grades were bad. If Li Tingfeng wanted to send her to a famous university, he would have to donate a few libraries to that university. However, it was obvious that Li Tingfeng could not bear to spend so much on Li Ze’en. Therefore, he coaxed Ze’en to stay overseas.

He would stall for as long as he could. As long as she did not come home to interfere with him and Third Madam.

Ze’en was very agitated and angry. She told her brother that she didn’t even have the money for a flight home now.

Li Zecheng was silent for a long time because he was also penniless.

For the first time, the siblings felt how helpless life was. They were born into a prestigious family, but now, they were actually worried about the money for a plane ticket.

“Brother, I’ll think of something myself.” Ze’en hung up and was in a daze for a while before deciding to verify what her brother, had said.

She vaguely hoped that her brother was lying.

She called Li Tingfeng more than ten times before Li Tingfeng returned her call.

It was late at night.

“Ze’en, you called Dad because of the enrollment, right? Sigh, the matter is a little tricky because your results are too bad…” Li Tingfeng fabricated.

Ze’en listened very calmly to his excuses. Perhaps she had experienced too much. Ze’en had become cunning.

Instead of exposing his true colors, she wheedled. “Dad, I’m sick and need money for a doctor. Can you transfer me a sum of money?”

“Are you sick?” Li Tingfeng’s voice clearly cooled down.

“Dad, my stomach has been hurting for the past two days. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I want to go to the hospital, but I’ve spent all my money.”

“Didn’t I just give you ten thousand last month? You used it up so quickly?”

Li Ze’en’s eyes were filled with anger. She had just seen that the mistress’s daughter, Li Zefeng, had just bought a branded bag worth more than 100,000 dollars.
