Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

Chapter 394 - 394 Ex-husband’s Breakdown

394 Ex-husband’s Breakdown

He was so old, but he was crying like a child.

Huo Xiaoran squatted in front of him, snatched his wine bottle, and threw it into the trash can beside him.

“Why don’t you have a home?” In Huo Xiaoran’s opinion, if he had someone, there was a home. Although Li Zecheng’s family was broken, he still had his parents, wife, and children. His home was still there.

Unlike him, her father was missing. Her mother had gone to heaven.

For the first half of his life, he was an orphan without a home.

Li Zecheng cried in pain. “I’ve cut ties with the Li family. Wei Xin is going to divorce me. I don’t have a home anymore. Uncle, how did I end up like this?”

A pair of high heels walked up to him. Li Zecheng looked up shakily. When he saw Qiao An, he lowered his head in shame.

“It’s my retribution. I don’t deserve sympathy.”

Qiao An said, “Li Zecheng, Wei Xin was the woman you abandoned your family business, and your reputation to marry. Your relationship was once stronger than gold. Now that she’s leaving you, you should reflect on how you lost her bit by bit.”

Li Zecheng said in pain, “My mother doesn’t like her, and my grandfather doesn’t like her. Ever since she married into the Li family, she has been alone. One of our children has cerebral palsy. She cries and makes a fuss, but no one has been willing to help her. Her grandfather-in-law never cares about her children. She often broke down and said that the Li family was unfair to her. They were always fighting. I was caught in the middle and don’t know how to balance these subtle conflicts. After a long time, Wei Xin stopped arguing. I thought she became sensible, but I didn’t expect her to lose her passion for this family. I asked for a divorce, but she didn’t say a word to stop me.”

“I realize now what a failure I am.”

Li Zecheng slapped himself hard.

Qiao An said, “Now, your mother is paralyzed in bed and you have a mentally disabled child. You were kicked out of the Li family again. When you fell to the bottom, Wei Xin wanted to divorce you. She’s taking revenge on you for looking down on her.”

Li Zecheng said, “I know. I’m willing to fulfill her wish.”

Qiao An said, “Then why are you here getting drunk? You can’t bear to, right?”

Li Zecheng nodded.

“What’s the use of being reluctant? No one in this world is stupid. Everyone knows how to make choices that are beneficial to them. You didn’t stand up bravely and take on the responsibility of a man when Wei Xin needed you to protect her. Now, you’re not qualified to ask her to stay with you.”

Li Zecheng trembled even more.

Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran looked at him quietly. They had seen Li Zecheng go from a carefree rich playboy to a pauper with nothing. Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran could actually understand his pain.

Just as Huo Xiaoran had said, “Li Zecheng, don’t cry. It’s very embarrassing. Qiao An and I have suffered everything you experienced today. No, we were even more miserable than yours.”

Li Zecheng raised his head shakily. He could not believe Huo Xiaoran’s words. After all, Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An were so beautiful at this moment.

Huo Xiaoran said, “On the night my mother died, my breakdown was no less than yours. I wanted to die, really.”

Li Zecheng could also imagine Xiao Ran’s despair when he was young and witnessed his mother’s departure.

Huo Xiaoran said, “From that day onwards, I cut ties with the Li family in my heart. I became a loner, and because of that, I had the courage to fight to the death.”

Li Zecheng said pessimistically, “Uncle, I’m not you. You’ve been intelligent since you were young. No difficulty can hit you.”

Qiao An was angered by his despondency and simply kicked him. She scolded, “Li Zecheng, don’t find an excuse for your cowardice. Your uncle is smarter than others. You can’t compare to him. What about me? I’m a weak woman. I was injured by Li Changhai at the airport and woke up to survive in hell. Every day, I had to live under the mercy of a group of murderous demons. Every day, I had to think about protecting the child in my stomach. I had to escape.”

Li Zecheng looked at Qiao An in a daze. He had never known that Qiao An had such an unbearable past.

For the first time, Qiao An bravely faced her past.

Huo Xiaoran looked at her with heartache, but Qiao An said brightly, “There were many years when I didn’t dare to think about that scene. Now, I’ve walked out bravely. Li Zecheng, don’t make me look down on you. If you have the ability, stand up and reincarnate in adversity. Make those people who once looked down on you submit to you. This is the meaning of life.”

With that, Qiao An pulled Huo Xiaoran away.

However, Qiao An’s voice lingered in Li Zecheng’s ears.

Was he a coward?

If Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran could both reincarnate from adversity and flourish, why did he submit to fate?

He suddenly felt as if he had been injected with vigor, and a clear spring burst out of his dead heart.

Li Zecheng stood up shakily and walked home.

Wei Xin had already packed her luggage. There was a medium-sized suitcase on the ground.

When Li Zecheng returned home, he saw two young children looking at him helplessly with tears in their eyes. His daughter called out timidly, “Daddy.”

Li Zecheng saw the suitcase in the middle of the room and guessed Wei Xin’s intentions.

“Have you decided?” he asked Wei Xin hoarsely.

Wei Xin lowered her head and tears streamed down her face.

“I’ve wanted to muster up the courage to leave you countless times, but every time, I couldn’t bear to part with the two children. I always felt that I was their mother. After giving birth to them, I had the obligation to raise them.” At this point, Wei Xin suddenly looked straight at Li Zecheng. “In the past, I was willing to swallow my anger and compromise because I felt that it was better for the children to grow up in a prestigious family like the Li family than to go out with me to beg for food.”

“But now. You’ve already separated from the Li family. You can’t bring the children a rich life anymore. I don’t know what other reason I have to stay by your side. I think you’ve long lost your feelings for me. Instead of staying together and complaining to each other, it’s better to separate. From now on, we won’t disturb each other and will be fine.”

Li Zecheng slowly walked up to her and asked, “Then where will you live after you leave me? Have you thought about it?

Wei Xin said, “Don’t worry about me. Just worry about yourself. From now on, you still have to take care of your paralyzed mother…”

She glanced at the children. “You’re not capable of raising two children for the time being. I’ll take them both.”
