418 Tsundere, Scumbag

“Li Zecheng, even if you beat yourself to death, even if you kneel here and die, Madam won’t come back to life.”

In front of Huo Xiaoran, Li Zecheng lost control of his emotions and broke down crying.

“Uncle, I’m not human. I angered Grandma to death. I don’t deserve to live in this world.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “You did a lot of shameless things in the first half of your life. It was indeed annoying. Logically speaking, I should throw you away as an abandoned pawn. However, on second thought, how many people have had such an enlightening experience? I only hope that you can be a good person after experiencing this nightmare. From now on, treat the people around you well and atone for those who have been hurt by you. When you’re old, you can calmly look at the warm home you built and tell your children and grandchildren that it is never too late for a prodigal son to turn back. You can inspire them not to be afraid of making mistakes but to change for the better after realizing the error. Isn’t that great?”

Li Zecheng raised his head in shame and looked at Huo Xiaoran sadly.

“Uncle, do you still believe in me?”

“I believe in you.”

Li Zecheng was stunned. He didn’t say anything. He wanted to ask Huo Xiaoran if he still believed that he could change after knowing his bad deeds.

It was obvious that Huo Xiaoran believed him.

He suddenly smiled through his tears. “Uncle, I won’t let you down.”

“Get up. The front yard is very busy. You’re the pillar of the Li family. You have to support this family.”

Li Zecheng stood up unsteadily. Li Ze’en came over to help him with red eyes.

Not far away, Old Master Li looked at Huo Xiaoran and smiled gratefully.

This should be the most gratifying feeling he had felt in a long time.

After Li Zecheng and Ze’en finished paying their respects, Li Zecheng pushed his mother away to prevent another dispute with Li Tingfeng and the others.

He was originally the grandson of the Li family. His actions immediately caused a commotion among the guests.

“Why did Zecheng leave as soon as he arrived? Shouldn’t he stay and leave only after sending the old lady off?”

“Can’t you tell? With a new wife, this wife will lose her status. Therefore, they’re at most distant relatives. It’s already good enough that they can come to pay their respects.”

Li Tingfeng felt embarrassed when he heard these people’s gossip.

Qiao An didn’t allow such words to spread. She quickly chased after them and stopped Li Ze’en and her sister. “Third Sister-in-law, there are so many guests. Are you leaving just like that to let them gossip behind your back? Can you stay?”

Huang Yushu said, “Qiao An, it’s not that I don’t want to stay. Old Madam was very good to me when she was alive and never treated me badly. I also want to send her off, but you know my situation. There’s no place for me in the Li family.”

Qiao An smiled and said, “Isn’t it just a matter of residence? Isn’t that simple? How about this? You guys will stay in our fourth room for the next few days. My Xiaoran goes back to the Heavenly Imperial Garden every night. That room is empty.”

Huang Yushu said gratefully, “Qiao An, thank you.”

Qiao An instructed Li Zecheng, “What are you waiting for? Go in.”

Li Zecheng pushed his mother back to the Li family’s lobby.

When the guests saw them, they fell silent.

However, when Li Tingfeng saw Li Zecheng and the others, his expression fell. He did not even look at them. Huang Yushu looked at this heartless man. She had no love for him and no expectations, so she could naturally take his coldness calmly.

When the First Madam and Second Madam saw Huang Yushu, it was as if they were old friends reunited. They held Huang Yushu’s hand and chatted with her.

“Sister-in-law…” First Madam could not change her address.

The mistress was especially angry when she heard this title. She snorted coldly, and First Madam was especially embarrassed.

She didn’t know how to address Huang Yushu.

On the other hand, Huang Yushu solved her problem. She corrected the way she addressed First Madam and said magnanimously, “Sister, you can call me anything, but you shouldn’t call me sister-in-law.”

Li Tingfeng was stunned. He did not expect Huang Yushu to despise this title so much.

He did not believe that she could really abandon the position of Third Madam, so he secretly glanced at Huang Yushu, wanting to see her embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, he saw Huang Yushu chatting peacefully with First Madam and Second Madam. She did not look at him at all, as if he did not exist.

Li Tingfeng was a little swayed. Could it be that Huang Yushu, who had loved him for his entire life, could really give him up?

“Yushu, your complexion looks better,” the First Madam said.

“I think Yushu has gained some weight,” the Second Madam said.

Huang Yushu smiled and said, “I’m just broad-minded and fat.”

“Yushu, I was originally worried that you wouldn’t have a good life outside. Now that I see that your face is flushed, I’m relieved,” First Madam said.

Second Madam glanced at the mistress and said with insinuation, “Yushu, you’re great now. You’ve broken away from this foul family. You’re round and smooth. I actually envy you.”

When the mistress heard her second sister-in-law’s words, she was furious. “Why is this family so messy? Aren’t there flies buzzing in every day?” She blamed Li Zecheng.

In the past, Huang Yushu would definitely retort. But now, she only smiled indifferently.

She thought of what Qiao An had said to her. “Third Sister-in-law, peace at home is everything. If you really love your son and daughter, you’ll stop in the future. If you live a peaceful life, Zecheng and Ze’en will develop their career with all their might.”

At that time, she didn’t understand the meaning behind Qiao An’s words because there was only hatred in her mind. But now, she understood everything. Recently, she hadn’t made a fuss. Zecheng had returned home with a calm mind and sat in front of the computer every day to work.

When Huang Yushu saw her son working so hard to live and improve, she instantly understood the true meaning of home and prosperity.

She was willing to use her forbearance to exchange for her son and daughter’s bright future.

Huang Yushu did not argue with the mistress, which aroused Li Tingfeng’s curiosity. He looked at Huang Yushu in surprise. He thought that she was afraid of the mistress, but when he saw the mockery on her lips, he was petrified.

Huang Yushu said, “Eldest Sister, Second Sister, I’m tired. I’ll go back to my room to rest first.”

The mistress was already in a bad mood after being neglected due to Huang Yushu. Now that she heard that she was going back to her room to rest, she deliberately made things difficult for her. “Huang Yushu, where are you going to rest? There’s no room for you here.”

Huang Yushu still ignored her provocation and said to Ze’en, “Ze’en, send me back to my room.”

Li Tingfeng stood up and was furious. “Huang Yushu, I knew you wouldn’t change. We’re already divorced. Why are you still coming back to fight for your room?”

Huang Yushu raised her head and looked at Li Tingfeng sympathetically. “You’re so ridiculous.”
