Chapter 400 - 400 My Honey

400 My Honey

“Dad, you spent more than a hundred thousand on a bag for Li Zefeng. Can’t you bear to spend ten thousand on me?” Li Ze’en’s tone was filled with disappointment.

Li Tingfeng felt a little guilty, but he quickly said, “It’s all your fault. You ran to Ze Feng’s school and ruined her reputation, making her very unhappy. In order to make her happy, Dad bled money to buy her a slightly expensive bag.”

Li Ze’en’s heart ached. Her father’s preference for Li Zefeng was so blatant.

Ze’en said bitterly, “Dad, it’s fine if you can’t afford to treat me. I’ll think of something myself.” Then she hung up.

!!

At this moment, Li Ze’en really believed that Li Tingfeng did not have any fatherly love for her at all.

Perhaps because Li Tingfeng felt guilty, he quickly called back and said to Li Ze’en, “Ze’en, don’t be angry. Dad will transfer 5,000 dollars to you immediately. You know that Dad’s finances have been tight recently. Save some money…”

After he rambled on for more than ten minutes, Ze’en suddenly said sarcastically, “For a mere 5,000 dollars, Dad lectured me for 15 minutes. Dad, when you spent money on me, your heart hurt, right? Because you don’t treat me as your biological daughter at all. You don’t have to pretend in front of me in the future. Keep your money well so that you can retire in the future. Dad, this is the last time I’ll call you Dad. I really hope that you can experience the despair of being abandoned by your family when you lie on a hospital bed one day.”

With that, Li Ze’en decisively hung up.

On the other end, Li Tingfeng stared at the phone in a daze.

His mistress even added fuel to the fire at the side. “This Li Ze’en is just a greedy child. How old is she to ask you for money? You gave her 5,000 dollars the moment you opened your mouth. If you ask me, I’ll say that you don’t give her a single cent…”

Li Tingfeng was frustrated and scolded, “Shut up.”

Even though he was heartless, Li Ze’en was still the daughter he had loved. Li Ze’en accused him of being biased toward Li Zefeng. He had bought her a bag worth more than a hundred thousand dollars, but he could not bear to give Ze’en the money to save her life. These complaints were not unreasonable.

Li Tingfeng felt a little apologetic.

The other woman said anxiously, “The more you can’t bear for her to suffer, the more she wants to depend on her elders.”

Li Tingfeng was so angry that he slapped her and roared, “Ze’en just went over there and is sick. We’ve been embezzling her money. It’s normal for her to ask me for money once in a while. On the other hand, why don’t you say that your daughter depends on her elders?”

The woman covered her red cheek and said angrily, “Can she compare to Ze Feng? Ze Feng is our daughter.”

Li Tingfeng looked at the woman in shock. “She’s my daughter with my first wife. Logically speaking, the money I earn belongs to them.”

The woman was dumbfounded.

Li Tingfeng said angrily, “Stop it.”

This woman was like a paper tiger. Once Li Tingfeng was strong, she would be weak.

After being reprimanded by Li Tingfeng, she shut up.

Li Tingfeng lay on the pillow tiredly as Li Ze’en’s words rang in his ears. “I hope you won’t taste the despair of being abandoned one day.”

Perhaps it was because he had done many evil things recently and expelled the dregs. He had beaten up his son and abused his daughter. He felt inexplicably uneasy.

Two days later, Ze’en was back. Instead of looking for her ungrateful father or her mother, she decided to call Qiao An.

She told Qiao An on the phone, “It’s Ze’en. I want to see you. Can I?”

Qiao An was very, very surprised to receive a call from Ze’en.

She was hesitant at first. After all, deep down, she really didn’t want to have any more contact with this difficult sister-in-law again.

However, when she thought about how Li Ze’en had no choice but to ask for help now, her heart softened and she agreed.

“Where are you?”

“I’ll wait for you at the One-meter Sunshine Cafe.”

Qiao An put down her work and rushed to the coffee shop.

As soon as she entered the coffee shop, she saw Ze’en curled up in the corner of the coffee shop. She was covered in shadows and her expression was filled with sorrow. She was a completely different person from her usual domineering self.

Qiao An walked over and sat down opposite Ze’en. Then, she didn’t speak and just looked at Li Ze’en quietly.

Li Ze’en’s indifferent gaze landed on Qiao An. After a while, she said leisurely, “What should I call you? I think you must not like me calling you sister-in-law. But I feel strange calling you aunt. Why don’t I call you Qiao An?”

Qiao An said brightly, “Up to you.”

Li Ze’en said, “You must be curious as to why I’m looking for you.”

Qiao An said, “Are you in trouble?”

Li Ze’en smiled bitterly and shook her head.

“Even if I have difficulties, I won’t beg you. Qiao An, I can’t speak to you.”

Qiao An was stunned.

Li Ze’en took a sip of coffee. She frowned as if it was too bitter.

“A lot has happened in the past few years. Qiao An, I’ve grown up. I’ve seen a lot of people and experienced a lot. I’ve read a lot. The more sensible I am, the more ashamed I feel toward you.”

“When you were my sister-in-law in the past, you served my mother and cared about my brother. But I always looked down on you for not earning money and hated you for relying on my brother. Now that I think about it, I was really ridiculous. In this world, how many good girls from famous universities are willing to wash clothes and cook for love? It’s just that my family and I don’t know how lucky we are.”

Qiao An let out a long sigh.

“Those are in the past. Ze’en, I’m sorry. I’m unwilling to look back on those unbearable times.”

Ze’en smiled bitterly. “Yes, it’s unbearable for you. But for us, it should be the happiest time in our family. Qiao An, I know you are very happy after you got together with my uncle. I know you’re not happy to hear about the unbearable things that happened during those humiliating times. But, today, let me finish at once. I promise this is the last time I’ll let you look back on those times you don’t want to face.”

Qiao An sighed. “Then tell me.”

Ze’en spoke eloquently. “Qiao An, I hated you once. Very, very much.”

Qiao An said, “I know. Six years ago, at the bar, I didn’t save you. I let something bad happen to you. You hated me for it.”

Ze’en said, “Yes, I couldn’t wait to destroy you back then. But now I know I was too insensible. It was my family that pushed you into hell. Who am I to blame you for forcing you into a demon?”
