Chapter 364: Desperation

Wei Xin nodded silently.

After a moment of silence, Wei Xin stood up and said, “Rest early. You didn’t go to the hospital to visit your mother today. Your mother should be a little disappointed. You should take the time to go to the hospital tomorrow.”

Li Zecheng was silent. As long as he thought about how he would have to face those complicated matters when he went to the hospital, he would feel conflicted.

Wei Xin said lightly, “If you’re lucky, you might still meet Qiao An.”

Li Zecheng seemed to have been stung by a bee. He glared at Wei Xin. “Why did you mention that? You know that it’s impossible between us, but you still created an opportunity for us. What are you thinking?”

Wei Xin smiled and said, “Look at how angry you are. I just want you to see Qiao An a few more times. That way, you’ll know the difference between you and Qiao An. I think one day, you’ll give up on her… No, on yourself. At that time, perhaps you can humble yourself and live a good life with me.”

Li Zecheng was speechless.

The next day, Li Zecheng woke up early. Perhaps because he was looking forward to it, he arrived at the hospital early.

Today, Third Madam’s hostility had inexplicably subsided. When she saw Li Zecheng, she was no longer as excited as a few days ago when she asked her children to take revenge on Li Tingfeng and that woman.

Li Zecheng sat quietly at the head of the bed and asked with concern, “Mom, are you feeling better?”

Third Madam asked him, “Do you mean the wound or the pain in my heart?”

Li Zecheng was stunned. Of course, he was referring to her injuries.

Third Madam smiled. “The wound is just like how it looks to you. But the pain in my heart has lessened.”

Li Zecheng was a little surprised. After all, mental injuries were even harder to heal than physical injuries.

Third Madam glanced at Li Zecheng and smiled evilly. She instructed, “Zecheng, your father has agreed to transfer all the assets to you and Ze’en. You have to strike while the iron is hot and urge him to perfect the procedures as soon as possible. I’m afraid that he will change his mind after a long time.”

Li Zecheng was even more puzzled. “Did Dad really agree to transfer all his assets to me and Sister? Mom, is Dad willing to turn over a new leaf and return to the family?”

He found it unbelievable. A few days ago, Li Tingfeng had announced with a bad attitude that he would not acknowledge them.

Third Madam said angrily, “Do you think he changed his mind because he had a conscience?”

Li Zecheng said, “Then why did he make such a decision?”

Third Madam snorted and said resentfully, “Hmph, if I didn’t have something on him, do you think he would have obediently given in?”

“What evidence?”

“He was beside me when I jumped off the building.” Third Madam’s face revealed an evil sneer that had succeeded in her scheme.

Li Zecheng was furious. “So, he pushed you downstairs?” He found it difficult to accept such a beastly father. He suddenly stood up and gritted his teeth. “I’m going to kill this animal.”

Third Madam stopped him. “Don’t be agitated. Let me finish first. It’s true that he was beside me, but I was already disheartened and didn’t want to live. It’s just that before I died, I wanted to drag him down with me. So when I jumped off the building, I specially chose the place he passed by.”

“I took the opportunity to argue with him. As I pulled him, I jumped, framing him as a murderer who intended to kill me.”

Li Zecheng felt a chill run down his spine. “Mom, did you deliberately frame him?”

Third Madam glared at Li Zecheng in disappointment, her eyes filled with resentment. “How can you say that? When I jumped off the building, he was still with me. If he had any regrets towards me, and if he hadn’t been so ruthless, I wouldn’t have dragged him down with me.”

Li Zecheng could not imagine that when his mother had the intention to commit suicide, his father did not try his best to persuade her to save this tragic incident. Instead, he added fuel to the fire and pushed his mother towards a dead end.

Her mother was also terrifyingly scheming. Even in death, she had schemed against Li Tingfeng.

He suddenly laughed weakly. “Mom, I love money, but compared to money, I want you to be healthy.”

Third Madam was speechless.

She sighed. “You and Ze’en are both my good children. I don’t have much in my life. The only thing I can do for you is defending this family. Take back the assets that belong to you.”

Li Zecheng said, “Mom, give up…”

However, just as he said the word give up, Third Madam exploded in anger. “How can we give up? Why should that woman take what belongs to us?”

Li Zecheng trembled in fear at Third Madam’s aura.

Third Madam softened her tone and said earnestly, “Zecheng, I know what you’re thinking. You don’t want to interfere in the fight for the family’s assets anymore because you feel guilty towards Qiao An, right?”

Li Zecheng said nothing.

Third Madam said, “I admit that we were wrong to scheme against Qiao An in the past. Qiao An was your wife back then. It was indeed detestable for us to have done that. But now, we’re also the Qiao An of that time. We should learn from Qiao An and blossom with our edge in front of the evil forces. We should never submit to their schemes.”

Li Zecheng suddenly trembled, as if he had come to a realization.

In particular, Third Madam said earnestly in the end, “If you don’t take the opportunity to take back the assets that belong to us, Mommy will have jumped off a building for nothing.”

Li Zecheng looked at the motionless Third Madam and nodded with tears in his eyes.

“Okay, I promise.”

When Li Zecheng arrived at Li Tingfeng’s company, Li Tingfeng was carefully teaching his illegitimate son how to do business.

The moment Li Zecheng pushed open the door, Li Tingfeng and his illegitimate son looked at him with awkward surprise.

“Zeyu, go out first.” Li Tingfeng closed the information.

Li Zecheng smiled faintly and reached out to stop Li Zeyu. “Don’t go out. I think I should let you know.”

Li Zecheng was older than Li Zeyu and was once the CEO of the Li family’s pharmaceutical company. He had a more mature aura.

Li Zeyu stood there in a daze and looked at Li Tingfeng. “Dad.”

Li Tingfeng looked at Li Zecheng fiercely. “What are you doing here?”

Li Zecheng walked over and pulled the chairman’s chair over. He sat down leisurely.

“Mom asked me to come over and take over this company.”

Li Tingfeng was furious. “In her dreams.”

Li Zecheng looked at Li Tingfeng’s exasperated expression and laughed instead of being angry.

He admitted that in business, he was definitely not his uncle’s match. However, in the Li family, his aptitude was that of a prodigy.

He was more than enough to deal with Li Tingfeng.

“I’ve investigated the assets under your name. You legally transferred most of them out. Now, only this company is operating normally because you were prepared to leave this company to your illegitimate son.”
