Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce - Chapter 620 - 620 The Li Family’s Withering Glory

620 The Li Family’s Withering Glory

Hence, Li Zecheng and the others made many invitations and distributed them widely. Then, they made sufficient preparations for the guests. Chefs, food, and etiquette were all on a large scale.

Naturally, the Lu family, the Huo family, and the Xiao family all received invitations from the Li family.

When Huo Xiaoran found out about Old Master Li’s death, he immediately went to his mother’s tombstone and stood quietly for a long time.

No one knew what he was thinking.

Perhaps it was to end Huo Xinping and Old Master Li’s ill-fated relationship.

When Huo Xiaoran returned home, he realized that the elders of the three families were all gathered in his Heavenly Imperial Garden home, waiting for him to return.

Old Master Lu was the first to speak. “Xiaoran, are you going to Old Master Li’s funeral? Tell us. If you go, we’ll go. If you don’t, we won’t go either.”

Huo Xiaoran walked over and sat down beside the three old men.

Old Master Xiao said, “Xiaoran, make a decision quickly. You don’t know, but the famous families in the capital are all watching your reaction.”

Huo Xiaoran sneered. “I originally wanted to go, but I’ve changed my mind now. The Li family has sent out invitations widely. I’m afraid they have ulterior motives. They really don’t have any humanity and want to use the dead to get rich.”

Old Master Lu heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s better if you don’t go. Hmph, I feel uncomfortable when I think about how the Li family caused my good daughter-in-law and grandson to suffer. I was also afraid that you’ll be soft-hearted. If you have feelings for him, I won’t make things difficult for you. Now that your thoughts coincide with ours, I’m relieved.”

Because the three giants were silent, the merchants below did not dare to easily offend these three giants. Therefore, the Li family’s funeral was as desolate as the Li family wanted it to be extravagant.

Almost no one attended the Li family’s funeral.

This made Li Tingye and the others break down and blush.

This time, they clearly realized that the Li family was a rat on the streets.

They were very defeated. Their ambition instantly turned into helplessness.

Li Ze’en looked at her ashen-faced family and cried, “I’ve long advised you not to become enemies with Uncle, but you just didn’t stop. You can’t blame anyone else for falling into this state.”

Huang Yushu berated Li Ze’en, “Ze’en, shut up.”

Li Ze’en said irritably, “At a time like this, are you still concerned about their pitiful pride? Mom, have you ever thought about why Brother fell into such a state? It’s all because you were vain and chasing after fame and wealth.”

Huang Yushu lowered her head in shame. A moment later, she comforted Li Zecheng earnestly, “Son, accept your fate. Leave the capital and hide your identity in the future. Just be an ordinary person.”

Li Zecheng had no faith in living. “Mom, take good care of the child for me.”

Huang Yushu’s expression changed drastically. “What do you want to do?”

Li Zecheng said indignantly, “I want to start over.”

Huang Yushu was speechless.

At this moment, Wei Xin arrived.

Li Zecheng looked at the only person who had come to the funeral in surprise. At that moment, his heart rippled with anticipation.

He hoped that Wei Xin could comfort him, encourage him, and pull him out of his desperate situation like before.

However, Wei Xin walked straight to him and said, “I’m not here to attend the funeral. Old Master never treated me kindly when he was alive. I have no reason to pay my respects to him.”

Li Zecheng’s lips moved, but he did not say anything.

Wei Xin continued, “I came today to give you this.”

She handed an agreement to fight for custody of the child to Li Zecheng. “Li Zecheng, you’re no longer suitable to be the child’s guardian. Give him up. Although my income is not high, it’s not a problem to support them. Moreover, the child will not be implicated by the Li family if he follows me.”

Li Zecheng looked at Wei Xin sadly. “Are you here to tell me this?” Without redemption or comfort, Li Zecheng’s hopes were dashed.

Wei Xin said, “What else? What do you expect me to tell you? Don’t tell me you want to renew your relationship with me. But I don’t do trash collection here.”

“Wei Xin, what are you saying?” Huang Yushu’s heart ached for her son. She couldn’t help but flare up and scold Wei Xin.

Wei Xin chuckled, her eyes filled with mockery. “Hmph, in the past, I respected you as my mother-in-law and swallowed my anger at you. Later on, I respected you as CEO Li’s mother, and I also gave in to you. But now, look at yourselves. You’re street rats now. You’re worse than stray dogs. Although I, Wei Xin, am not rich, fortunately, I don’t have to worry about food and clothing. I can be considered to have a small reputation. If you know what’s good for you, I’ll part peacefully with you. If you don’t, we’ll see you in court. I think now that the Li family’s assets have been dissipated, I’m afraid you can’t even take out the money to fight a lawsuit. Oh, I also heard that the Huo Corporation is preparing to buy the Li family villa and use this place to build a funeral parlor. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your days of glory are in the past now.”

Li Zecheng glared at Wei Xin with red eyes. “Are you here to add insult to injury?”

Wei Xin sneered. “Didn’t you ignore me when you were in your prime? Now that the situation has reversed, can’t I make fun of you? This is called the cycle of fortune.”

“Get lost.”

Wei Xin’s expression turned serious. “Li Zecheng, do you want to give me custody of the child?”

Li Zecheng closed his eyes in despair. His mind was a mess. He was unwilling to give it to her. If he didn’t, the child wouldn’t be able to see the future with him.

“Let me think about it.”

“Alright, I’ll give you three more days.”

With that, Wei Xin left.

The Li family was extremely suffocated. In the past, Wei Xin was just a lackey of the Li family, but now, she was riding on their heads. How could they not feel suffocated?

“Zecheng, give her the child,” Huang Yushu said. “Wei Xin is right. Our Li family does not have the ability to raise a child.”

Her words were thought-provoking.

It hinted that the children raised by the Li family were useless. It was only natural that they would end up withering.

Li Zecheng felt even worse.

When the Li family was defeated, all kinds of previous creditors appeared. The Li family was facing the predicament of repaying a high debt.

Li Tingye and Li Tinglei did not care about glory anymore and hurriedly buried Old Master Li. They erected a cheap tombstone in an extremely bad location. One could tell from the substandard engraving that the person buried here was not loved by his descendants.

The Li family originally wanted to renege on their debts. However, the creditors had hired loan sharks to chase after them, After incidents like a car accident and a fire at the villa, the family realized that the outcome of going back on their word was something they could not afford.

In the end, Li Tingye endured the pain and sold the Li family villa.

When the buyer finally came to do the handover, they saw Huo Xiaoran.
