Li Tingshen returned to the Li family.
There were only a few servants working silently in the empty mourning hall.
Li Tingshen was wearing a black suit with a white ribbon around his arm.
She stood silently in front of the mourning hall and looked at the black and white photo of Lian Lili.
No one knew what she was thinking.
After some time, Xiao Chu hurried in. “CEO Li, someone from the Ye family is here.”
“No matter what, we’re still in-laws. Isn’t it a little too much to be stopped outside the door?”
Ye Lixun’s cold and sarcastic voice sounded. A few seconds later, she appeared in front of the mourning hall with two tall and muscular bodyguards behind her.
Li Tingshen didn’t move.
Ye Lixun stepped in and walked to the side. She picked up a white chrysanthemum and walked to Li Tingshen. Without even bending her body, she threw the flower in front of Lian Lili’s photo.
“I’m really happy for you. I’m happy that your son has such a good mother like you. He got what he wanted. Your son personally sent the woman he loved to prison. Looking at him now, isn’t he happy? What does he look like? Happy? Free? Happy? Oh?”
Li Tingshen remained motionless and silent.
These sarcastic words made Xiao Chu break out in cold sweat.
“Madam Ye, the deceased has passed away. Please show some respect to the deceased…”
Ye Lixun sneered, “What did I say to make you think that I’m disrespectful to her? I’m letting her leave without any worries. Oh right, I even brought her a gift that she will definitely be so happy that she can’t close her mouth…”
With that, she raised her hand and the bodyguard behind her handed her a document.
Ye Lixun took it and opened the folder. She took out the contents and turned to face Lian Lili’s photo.
“Have you seen it clearly? Divorce, agreement, negotiation, book, and… stocks, rights, and money.”
Ye Lixun enunciated every word clearly and her eyes were filled with anger. She smiled, but it revealed deep hatred.
“Aren’t you happy? Look at how understanding Qingqiu is. She prepared such a thoughtful gift for you.”
Xiao Chu stood at the side and watched in fear. She looked at Li Tingshen a few times, but he was still standing like a lifeless statue.
The divorce agreement.
The shares were transferred.
These two items were enough to instill fear.
The smile on Ye Lixun’s face gradually faded. She slowly approached Lian Lili’s photo and raised her hand to caress her gentle and generous smile.
“Sister, since you’ve accepted the gift, it’s time for us to settle the score between us. Do you love my brother that much, huh? Li Jingyi lied to you. Didn’t he treat you well after the marriage? If he doesn’t love you, do you love him? What position do your actions place him in? You want everyone to love you, but you won’t love anyone else… It’s fine if you want to die, but why should you drag my brother to accompany you?! How can a selfish woman like you be worthy?!”
Ye Lixun exerted force and smashed the photo onto the ground!
The photo frame shattered, and the cracking sound was especially clear in the spacious mourning hall.
Ye Lixun swept the flowers in front of her to the ground. She didn’t miss anything.
Boundless anger dominated her at that moment.
If not for Lian Lili’s selfishness and stubbornness, how would the Ye family have become like this?!
“Madam Ye!”
Xiao Chu’s heart skipped a beat. She wanted to stop him, but she was blocked by the two people Lian Lili had brought.
“CEO Li!”
Xiao Chu had no choice but to look at Li Tingshen. He remained indifferent as he watched Ye Lixun vent her anger and hatred.
The funeral hall was simple, and it was also very easy for Ye Lixun to destroy it.
It was a mess.
She didn’t seem to have smashed enough, but she could only stop.
The anger on her face had yet to dissipate and her hair was slightly loose.
Then, she picked up the document on the ground, walked to Li Tingshen and stuffed it into his chest pocket.
“She wants you to sign the divorce papers as soon as possible. She’s in a hurry to go back to jail!”
Li Tingshen’s dark and calm eyes seemed to have finally caught a hint of wind as they swayed imperceptibly.
The corners of Ye Lixun’s lips curled into a cruel smile.
“I finally understand why Qingqiu repeatedly confirmed with me that you love her when she was about to be arrested by the police.”
Although she said that, Ye Lixun still felt endless sorrow.
Using love as a punishment.
It was the most invisible and heartbreaking method.
She loved him so much, yet she had used such a cruel method.
Ye Lixun shook her head, her cold smile full of sarcasm.
“Maybe you’re right about being confident. Qingqiu loves you, so do you understand now? She hates you as much as she loves you.”
Li Tingshen’s chest shook violently and his pupils constricted. He clenched his fists tightly.
After Ye Lixun left, Xiao Chu looked at Li Tingshen and helped him restore the mourning hall.
Li Tingshen only took action after a long time. He took out the document that Ye Lixun had left for him from his pocket and unfolded it. The most obvious thing was the divorce agreement.
The agreement was simple. There was no relationship, no children, and no property dispute. Both parties were willing to divorce.
Then, the familiar words appeared on the paper.
He thought about how Ye Qingqiu looked when she signed.
Expressionless?
‘Without hesitation?’
What…
The document in her hand gradually deformed. In the end, she gripped the document tightly and walked out of the mourning hall.
Xiao Chu was shocked and hurriedly followed.
“CEO Li, where are you going?”
*
Ye Qingqiu was wearing a black silk suit with her hair tied up low. There was a white flower beside her ear.
Ever since she was young, she had never worn such black clothes.
That beautiful girl was dressed in black, which stood out in the mourning hall.
Slender, quiet and dull.
She knelt there quietly and looked at Ye Jianyun’s photo. Her gaze was calm and empty, without a single tear.
When Ye Lixun returned and saw that she was still in the same position as before she left, her heart ached.
“Qingqiu, it’s normal to grow old and die. Everyone’s life and death are determined. No matter how sad you are, you should have a limit. Think about how much your father dotes on you. If you don’t live well, how can he be at ease?”
Ye Qingqiu moved slightly and asked calmly, “Auntie, has he signed it?”
“… No.”
“Oh,” Ye Qingqiu replied lightly and didn’t say anything else.
“Qingqiu, don’t be stupid anymore. Lian Lili’s death has nothing to do with you. I will appeal this case again… Otherwise, your life will really be ruined, okay? You still have a long life. Without Li Tingshen, you will have a brand new life in the future. You will find a man who treats you well, have one or two beautiful children, and live the simplest life of an ordinary person…”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes flashed.
Children…
She closed her eyes.
He had forgotten that she was pregnant…
At this moment, a servant walked in with her head lowered. She glanced at Ye Qingqiu before turning to Ye Lixun and saying softly, “Mr Li is here. He’s outside the door.”
Even though her voice was soft, Ye Qingqiu still heard her.
“Don’t let him in. My father doesn’t want to see him.”
The servant turned around and said to Ye Qingqiu, “Mr Li said that he wants to see you…”
“No. If you’re here to deliver the signed divorce agreement, help me get it.”
The servant glanced at Ye Lixun, who fell silent for a while before walking out.
At the entrance, she saw Li Tingshen, whom she had just met not long ago. “How dare you meet her? Are you going to lock her up for life?”
Li Tingshen looked at her through the door with a deep gaze. “You’ll appeal again, right?”
Ye Lixun narrowed her eyes. “I appealed because she was the one who requested to appeal first!”
Li Tingshen stood rooted to the ground. The divorce agreement in his hand was torn, and the veins on the back of his hand were enough to prove the reason.
After some time, Li Tingshen said slowly, “Yu Song, give me a pen.”
Yu Song trembled, and even Ye Lixun was stunned.
“CEO Li…”
Yu Song wanted to stop her, but he didn’t know what to say.
But if they didn’t get a divorce, how could he and Madam continue living in this state?
“Give it to me!”
Li Tingshen’s stern voice made Yu Song hesitate no more. He took out a pen from his pocket and handed it over.
Taking the pen, he stood outside the front door and signed his name on the last page.
It was the same handwriting as when he signed any document in the past, but now, it did not seem smooth.
His name landed on it one after another, and there was a mark under his left palm.
His strength penetrated the back of the paper as he wrote with his right hand. The mark on his left hand was like a string of lava imprinted on his palm, causing double pain.
After he finished writing, he kept the divorce agreement and handed it to her through the gap in the metal door.
“If she agrees to appeal, give her this.”
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll hand it over to her?”
Li Tingshen gripped the pen in his hand tightly and said in a stiff and deep voice, “I think you should want her to appeal more than me.”
Ye Lixun took it and looked at the signature on it. Her heart suddenly ached.
She didn’t even know how to hate this man.
