451 Scumbag Father’s Heart
After the mistress left, Li Tingfeng called for Ze’en to sit down. Ze’en did not stand on ceremony and sat on the chair diagonally opposite him.
Li Tingfeng poured tea and asked about Ze’en’s mother. “Ze’en, how’s your mother recently?”
He did not believe that Huang Yushu, who was greedy for money, had suddenly become so elegant and refined. She was actually indifferent to his temptation.
He did not believe that Huang Yushu, who had loved him for her entire life, could really forget their relationship as husband and wife completely when she was old.
He felt that it was Huang Yushu’s scheme to play hard to get. He felt she was deliberately ignoring him and waiting for him to accept her again.
So he decided to ask Ze’en indirectly.
Ze’en told the truth. “She’s doing fine.”
Li Tingfeng looked at her, wanting to see a crack on her face, but Li Ze’en didn’t look like she was lying at all.
“Hmph, can she live well when she’s paralyzed in bed all day?” he sneered.
Ze’en looked at Li Tingfeng speechlessly with a sympathetic expression. “Although my mother is crippled, her strong willpower has long allowed her to escape the life of being paralyzed in bed. She’s sitting in a wheelchair, but she’s like a normal person. She has a nine-to-five morning schedule and makes breakfast for me and my brother in the morning. After my brother and I go to work, she goes to the Elderly Club. You don’t know, but there’s a handsome uncle in the club who likes my mother and is pursuing her fiercely.”
Li Tingfeng felt very uncomfortable.
“Then tell your mother to be careful not to get cheated,” he said sourly.
Li Ze’en glanced at him and knew that he was jealous that his mother was leading a better life than him. She continued, “Dad, it’s not that you don’t know that my mother doesn’t have money. Uncle likes her because he likes Mom’s tenacious personality and aloofness from worldly affairs. Actually, it’s normal for Uncle to like Mom. Although Mom’s movements are restricted, her temperament and looks are top-notch in the club. Speaking of which, Mom is very grateful to you. She said that you didn’t teach her anything in this life with you, but she was influenced by the dressing of wealthy ladies.”
Li Tingfeng tightened his grip on the wine glass. “She’s already so old, but she’s still harboring hopes for love. Watch your mother carefully so she doesn’t find an unreliable man when the time comes.”
Ze’en smiled. “Mom has nothing left. Uncle likes her and takes good care of Mom. Mom isn’t losing out.”
Li Tingfeng choked on Huang Yushu’s late romance and turned to ask about Li Zecheng.
“Your mother cares about her relationship every day. Doesn’t she care about your brother’s job and his marriage?”
Ze’en told her everything she knew.
“Brother is doing very well now. He used Grandpa and Uncle’s mother’s names to create a new company: Lifetime Peace. Uncle has the intention to support him, and the company has already entered the official stage. Moreover, Brother is also the marketing director of the Angel Group. His performance is very good. He’s actually much more glorious than before.”
When Li Tingfeng heard Li Zecheng’s good news, for some reason, he couldn’t be happy. He might have secretly hoped that Li Zecheng wouldn’t be able to survive outside and would come back to beg him, his biological father. When that happened, he would give him a sum of assets to repair their relationship.
But now, Zecheng was developing rapidly. It was impossible for his son to apologize to him. Unless he caved and apologized first.
“What about your brother’s marriage?” He wanted to use Li Zecheng’s unhappy marriage to find a breakthrough for their relationship.
Li Ze’en said, “Wei Xin remarried with her two children. Brother is now a bachelor. A lot of girls like him. However, this time, Brother has become much more cautious in choosing a partner. He even said that before he chooses a girlfriend, he must get Uncle and Aunt to help him. He’s aiming for a lifetime this time.”
Li Zecheng was outstanding, mature, sensible, and introverted. Li Tingfeng was very satisfied.
However, when he thought about how this outstanding son was disrespectful to him, he felt very depressed.
In the end, he could only target Ze’en. “What about you? How have you been?”
Ze’en lowered her head in shame. “Dad, I’m useless.”
Li Tingfeng’s suppressed heart finally relaxed. Someone in that family still needed him. If he couldn’t give impose vanity to Huang Yushu and Li Zecheng, he would channel it all to Li Ze’en.
“You didn’t study well and didn’t do your job in the past. It’s normal that you can’t find a good job in a short time.”
He took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Ze’en. “There’s a hundred thousand in this card. Take it. Think about what to do with your life.”
Ze’en took it. “Thank you, Dad.”
“Go.” Li Tingfeng waved at her.
Li Ze’en deliberately walked in the direction her stepmother had left with the card. In the inner courtyard, she saw her stepmother.
She deliberately raised the bank card Li Tingfeng had given her with a flying smile.
Her stepmother saw the bank card in her hand and walked over angrily. “Li Ze’en, did your father give you this card?”
Li Ze’en was in a good mood and said a few more words to her, “Yes, I knew that my father still cares about my mother and us. Otherwise, why would he ask about my mother and brother so carefully today? He even gave me a card.”
Her stepmother’s expression turned ugly. She knocked Li Ze’en away and ran into the inner room angrily.
When Li Ze’en saw her fierce appearance, she knew that her father was going to be unlucky again today.
She felt extremely carefree.
Li Tingfeng had earned so much money and actually wanted to buy her heart with 100,000 dollars. He gave Li Zefeng a bag that cost more than 100,000 dollars. To think a mere father-daughter relationship was so worthless in his eyes.
Li Ze’en did not care about this bit of money.
She and her aunt had partnered up to open a detective agency and had already achieved financial freedom.
The mistress walked in aggressively and shouted, “Li Tingfeng, what do you mean?”
Li Tingfeng took a sip of tea and glared at her coldly. “Are you crazy again?”
“Why did you give Li Ze’en a bank card?”
“She’s my daughter. She’s not doing well. What’s wrong with me giving her some money?”
If Li Tingfeng had always been a kind father and gave his children some financial assistance from time to time, perhaps the new wife would not be so angry.
Most importantly, Li Tingfeng had treated Huang Yushu’s family especially badly some time ago and their relationship was almost broken. Now, Li Tingfeng’s actions clearly showed his goodwill.
This made this mistress feel a sense of crisis.
How could she share what she had obtained with others again?
“Li Tingfeng, are you interested in reconciling with Huang Yushu?”
Li Tingfeng said impatiently, “She’s the mother of my two children. That’s all.”
He had really never thought of turning back.
