Chapter 118: Chapter 118: One Misstep, a Lifetime of Regret

Li Ziwei was knocked to the ground by Hu Yue’s brother.

Touching his sore face, he froze for a moment and slowly came to his senses.

What was he doing?

Was he embarrassing Hu Yue in front of her friends and family?

No, after all, he was still the son-in-law of the Hu family. Everything he had was given by Hu Yue. He could do whatever he wanted to Hu Yue in secret, but he couldn’t humiliate her in front of her friends and family.

"Yueyue, wife, I was wrong, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have flirted with others, can you forgive me? Wife, I was wrong."

It must be said that Li Ziwei is not without skills, the ability to humble oneself and apologize is something others can’t easily replicate.

After standing up, he knelt down, suddenly rushed to Hu Yue’s side, and hugged her thick leg, crying and apologizing.

His apology left Hu Yue unsure of what to do, and even her cousin felt embarrassed to beat someone who was down.

Just as Li Ziwei was patting himself on the back for his quick thinking and feeling relieved that he had averted the crisis,

His mistress, for some reason blew her top and pointed at Hu Yue and scolded, "Hu Yue, you bitch, relying on your family’s status to monopolize Li Ziwei. Do you know what he says about you behind your back? He says you’re a fat pig, and he feels nauseous whenever he sees you. Don’t you ever look at yourself in the mirror? It makes people sick. Li Ziwei said, he just lets you eat, he’s been feeding you slow-acting feed in your food, making you fatter, and eventually you’ll die fat, all of the Hu family’s wealth will be his, and then it will be mine too."

"What the hell are you talking about, when did I ever say such things?" Li Ziwei was shocked and immediately stood up and yelled at the woman.

Hu Yue trembled with anger.

Her best friend rushed over and said, "Yueyue, no wonder you’ve been gaining weight, it turns out this scoundrel has been drugging you."

"Yueyue, if you don’t deal with this ungrateful bastard today, he will end up killing you sooner or later," a relative said angrily.

Li Ziwei was about to cry, he rebuked his mistress and then turned to Hu Yue begging, "Wife, don’t listen to her nonsense, I didn’t, I wouldn’t dare drug you, not even if you gave me ten times the courage!"

"I see you dare, Li Ziwei, just wait to be divorced without a single possession!"

Hu Yue trembled with rage and slapped Li Ziwei, pushing him to one side.

"Sisters and brothers, beat this adulterous pair to death, hit them hard," Hu Yue ordered.

Her friends and family rushed forward, males beating Li Ziwei, and females beating that vixen.

If it weren’t for the bystanders who called the police, the pair might have been beaten to death right there.

Of course, though they were not beaten to death today, the beating was severe, especially for Li Ziwei. He had always been arrogant in front of Hu Yue’s relatives because he was backed by Hu Yue.

Hu Yue’s cousin was jealous that he found a good wife and even more jealous that he made a name for himself with his own ability, and had long disliked him.

Why not seize this opportunity to beat him to death?

When the police arrived, they directly asked ambulance services to take people away.

Hu Yue’s birthday banquet ended badly, and she returned home crying early.

The next morning, news flew all over the place.

Hu Yue hadn’t expected the incident to blow up so big, even her son was affected, crying and refusing to go to school. He said having such a disgraceful father embarrassed him too.

"Divorce, we must get a divorce. It’s humiliating for me, I’ll make him leave without a penny," Hu Yue roared angrily.

Li Ziwei, still in the hospital, received a court summons. As he had a severe injury and could not attend, the court, based on Hu Yue’s evidence of Li Ziwei’s marital infidelity, ruled directly that Li Ziwei would be divorced without any possession, and he also lost the visitation rights to his son.

Those companies under Li Ziwei’s name actually also had shares belonging to Hu Yue.

Hu Yue used a scorched-earth tactic, directly withdrawing her shares, forcing Li Ziwei’s company to declare bankruptcy.

Just under a month later, when Li Ziwei came out of the hospital, he was utterly destitute, and he also owed the hospital a hefty medical bill.

Moreover, he could no longer stay in Yun City.

His photos and tabloid news were already flying everywhere.

Everywhere in Yun City were acquaintances, who would see him and not mock him?

And his little mistress was not as severely injured as him; she was discharged from the hospital after two weeks and then disappeared without a trace.

Li Ziwei looked up at the sky of Yun City, the sky was still very blue, but he felt surrounded by gloom.

He could never understand, why in just a span of one month, his life had undergone such a drastic change?

Why had he gone from being superior to being a pitiful person despised by everyone?

"Mr. He, after being discharged from the hospital, Li Ziwei sold his last bit of property, paid the hospital fees, and took a train to leave Yun City, returning to his hometown."

He Tingchen was looking at documents in his office when Wen Yi knocked and entered, reporting to him in a low voice.

He Tingchen didn’t even lift his head, indifferently saying, "Going back to his hometown? He still hopes for a comeback?"

Wen Yi immediately said, "Rest assured, he won’t have another chance to make a comeback."

"Good," He Tingchen finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Mr. He, the day after tomorrow is Mrs. Liao’s birthday. Old Mr. He called again to ask, have you decided what gift to give?" Wen Yi paused for a moment and couldn’t help but ask.

Since that incident, although He Tingchen didn’t pursue He Min’s responsibility, he refused to meet her, to talk to her, as if intending to sever ties with her.

He Min had tried to find him at the He family more than once, but he had turned her away every time.

He Min had also come to the company more than once, but He Tingchen refused to meet her.

He Min was nearly frantic, but could do nothing; finally, she could only ask Old Mr. He to intervene and mediate.

But Old Mr. He hadn’t expected that He Tingchen would even disregard his words.

This was already the third time Old Mr. He had called. Old Mr. He’s patience was running out. He gave Wen Yi the final ultimatum, if you can’t persuade him, you should no longer stay in He Group.

Wen Yi was feeling extremely troubled.

Who had he provoked?

Whether it’s Old Mr. He or He Tingchen, he couldn’t afford to offend either!

"Wen Yi, go buy the egg tarts from that shop on East Street, the madam likes to eat them, send them home while they are still hot," He Tingchen answered.

Wen Yi thought, egg tarts can be bought at any time, why don’t you give a clear answer about Mrs. Liao’s birthday?

But after saying those words, He Tingchen lowered his head again, seemingly not planning to answer any more questions.

Wen Yi had no choice but to say, "Yes."

Then he turned and left the office, heading to East Street to buy the egg tarts.

However, after buying the egg tarts, he drove towards the old He family estate.

Halfway there, it suddenly occurred to him, since Mr. He is so fond of Fang Anning. If he asked Fang Anning to intercede, would Mr. He then give a clear answer?
