Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Li Zecheng looked at his heartbroken mother with great sorrow in his eyes.
Third Madam spent the entire night in a towering hatred. She gripped the blanket tightly with both hands. Her fingers were pale and bloodless from the force. Her face, which was still considered full and young, was also twisted and ferocious with hatred.
“Zecheng, I can’t accept this.” She almost gritted her teeth.
“I’ve been with him for so many years. I’ve given birth to his children and been thrifty. Now that I’m old, I should be enjoying my family. Instead, he betrayed me and destroyed the home I’d worked so hard to build. I hate him so much.”
Li Zecheng’s throat rolled. He wanted to say something, but he did not know how to comfort her.
Except at that moment, for some reason, he thought of Qiao An.
Back then, when Qiao An had been betrayed by him, she had also cried secretly in the house. At that time, he couldn’t understand her pain. Today, seeing his mother suffer from his father’s betrayal instantly made him experience Qiao An’s pain back then.
His heart felt like he had been torn in half. He was deeply sorry for what he did to Qiao An at that time.
“Zecheng…” The fire in Third Madam’s heart burned fiercely. If she did not destroy Li Tingfeng’s world, she would not be able to let it go.
“Call your sister, Ze’en, and ask her to return to the country.”
Li Zecheng was stunned. “Mom, the family is in a mess. Let’s not let Sister know.”
Third Madam said angrily, “I was bullied by your father. She’s my daughter. She should stand by my side at this time.”
Li Zecheng was stunned
He sighed helplessly.
The next morning, Third Madam was actually able to dress up after a night of adjustment and continue fighting with the mistress.
“Sister, I heard that you committed suicide last night. You seem to be in good spirits today. I don’t think you really want to die. You just want to take the opportunity to snatch Tingfeng back, right? Unfortunately, even if you’re going to die, Tingfeng’s heart is still with me. Last night, he accompanied me for the entire night.”
Third Madam spat at her. “Shameless bitch. You came to the main wife’s house to take advantage of her.”
“You…” The mistress stood up and pointed at Third Madam. “Why don’t you take a mirror and look at your face? You’re old and weak. If Tingfeng doesn’t love you, you should let go. Why are you still pestering him?”
Third Madam pounced over angrily and fought with her.
“Stupid bitch, I’ll tear your mouth apart.”
The two women fought fiercely. At first, Third Madam had the upper hand. Although Third Madam was old, she was famous for being fierce. She scratched the mistress’s face into pieces.
Soon, Li Tingfeng arrived. He held Third Madam tightly. It was obvious that he was trying to stop the fight, but he pulled her too tightly, enabling the mistress to slap her face hard. Soon, Third Madam’s face was bruised and swollen.
The lobby was in an uproar. Li Zecheng quickly ran over and saw that his father was deliberately biased. He was so angry that he punched his father’s temple.
Li Tingfeng was beaten to the ground and immediately vomited.
Only then did the mistress stop and quickly coax Li Tingfeng.
“Tingfeng, what’s wrong?”
“Zecheng, why did you hit your father?” Li Tingye scolded angrily.
Third Madam defended her son. “He deserves it.”
At this moment, Li Tingfeng’s nose was bleeding. Everyone was afraid that something would happen to him, and someone suddenly remembered that Huo Xiaoran was once a doctor. They immediately shouted, “Hurry up and invite Fourth Brother over.”
Hence, the servant quickly came to Huo Xiaoran’s room and knocked.
Huo Xiaoran woke up slowly.
Glancing at Qiao An, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms, Huo Xiaoran smiled happily. He gently kissed Qiao An’s face before getting up.
He walked to the door, pulled it open, and scolded, “Keep your voice down. My wife is sleeping.”
The servant was stunned.
She teased with a smile, “Fourth Young Master, you’re not married yet.Why are you calling her your wife?”
Huo Xiaoran glared at her and said, “It’s only a matter of time.”
The servant quickly got to the point. “Fourth Young Master, there’s a fight in the lobby. Your third brother has bleeding from his nostrils and vomited. Go and take a look. He might have a concussion.”
When Huo Xiaoran heard this, he actually smiled and said, “Is it so lively?”
Seeing his sloppy appearance, the servant tried to make the matter as serious as possible. “Last night, your third brother slept in the mistress’ room. He angered Third Madam who fought with that woman early in the morning. Both of them are bruised and swollen. Fourth Young Master, why don’t you go take a look?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “What’s so good about swollen pig heads? They’re not as good-looking as my An’an.”
With that, he turned into the house and closed the door.
The servant was dumbfounded. “Are you going or not?”
In the room, Qiao An woke up. Perhaps she had heard the servant’s words, she asked Huo Xiaoran curiously, “Your brother and sister-in-law are injured. You should go and take a look.”
Huo Xiaoran’s expression was indifferent. “When Third Sister-in-law joined forces with Wei Xin to bully you back then, she was very proud. Now, let her have a taste of your suffering back then. In my opinion, this is retribution.”
He didn’t go, but Qiao An jumped out of bed.
“I’m going to join in the fun.”
Huo Xiaoran hugged her. “If you want to join in the fun, you have to change first, right?”
Only then did Qiao An realize that her pajamas—were torn.
She looked at Huo Xiaoran speechlessly. “Can you not be so violent next time?”
Huo Xiaoran said gently, “I’ll just be gentle with you. As for the clothes, I can’t care.”
Blushing, Qiao An hurried to the cloakroom.
Unfortunately, there were only Huo Xiaoran’s clothes in the cloakroom.
Qiao An said, “Why don’t I go to Li Zecheng’s place to see if there are any clothes I missed in the past?”
Huo Xiaoran’s face darkened. “Wear mine.”
Then he took out his clothes in smaller sizes.
In the end, Qiao An cut Huo Xiaoran’s sweatpants, put on his black woolen shirt and sweater, and went out.
Huo Xiaoran looked at her and smiled.
The lobby had fallen silent when Qiao An arrived.
Li Tingfeng lay on the sofa chair and glared at Third Madam angrily. The other woman stood beside him and shared his hatred.
Third Madam was not alone. Her son, Li Zecheng, and his wife, Wei Xin, were at least on her side.
“I want a divorce. I can’t live like this anymore,” Li Tingfeng suddenly said angrily.
Third Madam broke down when she heard this and tears streamed down her face.
“I won’t divorce.”
“It’s not up to you.”
Qiao An tiptoed over, gently pulled up a stool, and sat down to watch.
However, because her outfit was too unconventional, many people looked at her.
When Li Zecheng saw her wearing Huo Xiaoran’s clothes and looking so good, he felt inexplicably jealous.
