Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation
Chapter 142 Both sides suffer losses
Li's father was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment late at night, but in the morning, Li Hewen published an obituary in the newspaper, stating that Li's father had died of a cerebral hemorrhage and failed to be rescued, which shocked everyone. However, because of his death, his lawsuit was forced to be suspended. Later, the mistresses wanted to sue Li Hewen and Li Congwen and wanted them to fulfill their father's support obligations and pay some alimony, but they were all refuted by their lawyers because the illegitimate child's biological mother gave birth to the child without telling their father, and the illegitimate child's biological mother gave birth to the child and was suspected of using the child to fight for the family property. Most importantly, the illegitimate child's biological mother is a healthy adult and capable of supporting her own child. After some consideration, the judge finally rejected their appeal.
I took Wei Cheng to Li Hewen's funeral. Li Zhanwen dressed Wei Cheng in mourning clothes and asked him to join the family members in mourning. Some people who claimed to be Li Hewen's illegitimate children came to the funeral to pay their respects, but Li Hewen refused to let them in. This led to them slandering Li Hewen in front of the media. To prove they were Li Hewen's children, they repeatedly showed the media photos of themselves as children with Li Hewen.
Afterward, media reports revealed that at the funeral, four men and two women claimed to be Li Zhaohua's children. Three of the minors who had previously filed a lawsuit for alimony were involved. Now, nine have been exposed, and there may be more in secret. Li's father's philandering was jaw-dropping, and everyone sympathized with Li's mother, who endured such a promiscuous husband for over forty years. People also began to understand why Li's mother went from a lively and cheerful daughter of a wealthy family to a resentful woman: she married the wrong man!
At the funeral, Li's mother also attended to bid farewell to Li's father, but one person's appearance surprised Li's mother: Li Hewen's biological mother, Li's father's first love. Li's mother wanted to bid farewell to Li's father in a dignified manner, but when Li Hewen's biological mother appeared, Li turned around and left without hesitation.
Finally, Li Hewen's biological mother said in front of the media that Li's father was not as bad as the newspapers said. He had been taking care of her when she was sick for so many years. He was very affectionate and righteous. At the same time, she was very grateful to Li's mother for raising Li Hewen so well, but she is old now, and she hopes that Li's mother can return Li Hewen to her so that she can reunite with her children and grandchildren. When this was said, everyone was shocked, because everyone knew that Li's father had an illegitimate child, but they didn't expect that Li Hewen was also an illegitimate child, and the eldest son was an illegitimate child. Therefore, everyone also understood the reason why Li's mother ignored Li Hewen during this period. It was not because Li Hewen stood on Li's father's side that made Li's mother disgusted, but because Li Hewen was not her biological son!
Having his original wife raise an illegitimate child for years, while also engaging in various affairs, has heightened sympathy for Li's mother's difficulties. Some have also seized upon the opportunity to whitewash her previous actions towards me as a rage, claiming she was simply suppressing her emotions for too long and needed an outlet. The image Li's father cultivated for years as a good son, husband, and father has completely collapsed. And Li's mother's previous image as a madwoman and sarcastic woman has been reduced to a mere act of enduring humiliation.
After the seventh day of his father's death, Li Hewen immigrated to Canada with his wife and children, accompanied by his biological mother. The media speculated about the reasons for Li Hewen's sudden migration, with some claiming his biological mother pleaded with him, others claiming his mother pressured him to leave, and others claiming he couldn't stand staying in Hegang. Regardless of the media's speculation, both Li Hewen's mother and Li Hewen remained silent and refused to respond to any questions regarding immigration.
Yaoning went bankrupt, and Aneng Group wasn't much better off. However, Aneng Group hadn't experienced the chairman's divorce, which made the situation even worse, so it was still struggling. Fang Hui took the initiative to come to my office with a glimmer of hope. I didn't want to see her and asked my secretary to send her away, but she barged into the office and the secretary couldn't stop her.
"Ms. Fang, Ms. Fang, President Wei is really not here. Please go back!"
Fang Hui rushed in and saw me, pointing at me angrily and said to the secretary, "You said Wei Qing wasn't here, so who is this? A ghost?"
The secretary looked at me in embarrassment, and I said to her, "Please go out first!"
"Wei Qing, I came to see you for something. Why don't you want to see me?" Fang Sui questioned me with her hands on the table.
"What big deal can it be? It's just some trivial things, Miss! I don't have time to play with you, please go back!" I answered casually.
"I'm here for something real!" Fang Hui said very seriously and angrily.
"Then hurry up and tell me. I have limited time and I have a meeting!"
"I can break off the engagement with Zhan, but only if you help our family get through this crisis!"
"Are you negotiating with me? Or are you threatening me?"
"I'm negotiating with you! Don't you like A Zhan very much? I'm giving him to you now, and in return you have to help An Neng. This is fair!"
"Fair? Please don't be so naive!" I sneered.
"But if I don't break off the engagement, you won't be able to be with A-Zhan!"
"Everyone knows that your marriage is a business marriage. Now that the photovoltaic projects have been reclaimed and the Li family has gone bankrupt, your marriage has long been meaningless! No one cares about the marriage between the Li and Fang families anymore. As long as Li Zhanwen announces the annulment of the engagement, no one will react much. So whether you cancel the engagement or not, the outcome will be the same. I don't need to help someone who has stabbed me in the back! I used to treat you as a friend, but you actually coveted my boyfriend! I won't help you! Please go back!"
"Azhan and I are childhood sweethearts! Our friendship is much deeper than yours!" Fang Hui was still arguing weakly.
"You are childhood sweethearts, yes, but you are not engaged! There is no romantic or marital relationship between you, and Li Zhanwen has never liked you. It's all wishful thinking on your part! Stop living in your own fantasy. You are almost thirty, it's time to return to the real world! I don't want to argue with you anymore, just go!"
Fang Hui was still trying to persuade me to make up for it, so I called the security office directly. Fang Hui saw that I was really going to call security, so she was scared and left quickly.
When I returned home in the evening, Li Zhanwen knew that Fang Hui had come to see me during the day, so he came to ask me cautiously.
"I heard Fang Sui came to see you?"
"Yes!"
"What did she tell you?"
"She said that if I helped Aneng Group overcome its difficulties, she would break off the engagement."
"You agreed?" Li Zhanwen was a little expectant.
"Do I have any reason to agree?"
"It would be great if we could just let them cancel the engagement on their own initiative! It would save us a lot of trouble!"
"But why should I solve the problem between you and her?" I retorted to Li Zhanwen rudely.
"Don't you want to be with me? Now that this matter between her and me has been resolved, we can be together again naturally!"
"You have to understand that our relationship was originally aboveboard, and it was Fang Hui who barged in without reason! And you were so cowardly and timid that you didn't do anything, allowing this matter to escalate to what it is today! Anyway, this is a matter between you two, you should solve it yourselves! I won't help Aneng Group either! I'm lucky I didn't step on them!"
"If they don't cancel the engagement, I'll be burdened with this engagement forever! The shadow of this engagement will always be between us."
"I said, this is a matter between you and her! You are the parties involved, you should solve it yourselves!"
"But I..." Li Zhanwen was very conflicted and hesitant.
"If you don't want to, we can break up and you can marry Fang Sui. I think she will be very grateful for your loyalty!"
"Please don't be like this, okay? We're finally together, and you..."
Before Li Zhanwen could finish, I interrupted him. "I used to think your mother was very sarcastic and difficult to get along with! But the rest of your family was okay. But now so much has happened. Your father is like an actor, with superb acting skills. He's been pretending for so many years and has deceived so many people. And your family is too complicated. I don't want to get involved in this mess! So my feelings towards you are very complicated now! If you want to end our relationship as soon as possible, I'm always happy to help you!"
"I didn't do anything wrong, you can't break up with me!" Li Zhanwen was a little anxious.
"You are unwilling to do something as easy as breaking off the engagement with Fang Hui. Your family is so complicated. What can I expect from you in the future? So I give you an ultimatum. If you don't deal with Fang Hui's issue within three days, let's end it!" I said seriously.
I left the living room without giving Li Zhanwen a chance to argue. Li Zhanwen was also afraid of breaking up, so he went to negotiate with Fang Sui. But I heard that he gave all the property that Li's mother had given him to Fang Sui, so Fang Sui was so straightforward to issue a statement to cancel the engagement.
What has happened during this period is too dramatic, like an onion, when you peel off one layer, there is another layer waiting. No matter what, there are no clear winners, and everyone has been hurt to some extent.
