After hesitating for a while, Zhuang Mingyue called Li Zeju.

When Li Zeju answered the phone, he also seemed particularly excited: "Mommy, what's wrong? Do you need me to rush back immediately? Can you wait for me to take care of things here first? Haha, today is really great! We've saved our family business and dealt a heavy blow to those who coveted our assets, leaving them utterly defeated and powerless to resist."

Zhuang Mingyue simply smiled faintly and said, "Good, very good. Mommy is really happy for you."

Then, ignoring what Li Zeju was about to say and no longer listening to his talk about retaliation, she said softly, "Come back as soon as possible, I have something to give you."

"Okay, I'll go back after I've settled things here."

After Li Zeju agreed, he went to find Li Jiacheng and told him about his mother looking for him.

Li Jiacheng frowned: What's wrong with Mingyue now? Can't you see how busy we are?

Indeed, having just gone through this stock market battle, there are many things that need to be arranged, and many relationships that need to be maintained and managed.

One after another, acquaintances called to offer their congratulations.

Many people also want to get closer to them.

Li Ka-shing also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to acquire controlling stakes in several financial institutions while they were weakened, in order to facilitate his future financial operations.

There are so many things to do, so many things to sort out, and I really can't do without Li Zeju, such a powerful assistant.

Moreover, this is also a crucial moment for nurturing Li Zeju.

Such moments are rare; every minute and every second is precious.

So he said to Li Zeju, "We can't do without you here. Why don't you stay a little longer and go back when you're less busy? Give your mom a call and tell her to wait a little longer and not to worry."

Upon hearing this, Li Zeju wanted to say something more, but ultimately kept quiet.

As the head of the family, Li Ka-shing appears kind, but in reality, he is the one who has the final say most of the time.

Although he had a legitimate reason to go back and visit his mother, going against his father's wishes would not be a good thing for him.

Especially under the current circumstances, the group has experienced great ups and downs, and it is time to take a good look at things.

Li Zekai was also present.

Although the competition between him and himself is not as intense as it seems to outsiders, his position as heir is still very precarious.

Furthermore, given that Richard Li is currently injured and this major family crisis was triggered by his kidnapping, he can now play the family card and make his father more inclined to side with him.

If her father were to side with Richard Li out of guilt, then everything she had done before would have been for nothing.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Li Zeju nodded and said to his father, "Okay, then I'll call Mommy."

Seeing that Li Zeju had followed his instructions, Li Jiacheng nodded in satisfaction.

Li Zekai, standing to the side, secretly sneered:

"Heh, you always act so filial, but when I need you, you're all hesitant and indecisive! You're a hypocrite, a self-serving scoundrel!"

Richard Li certainly doesn't deny that he also wants to become the heir to the family business.

He had thought that Li Zeju would heed his mother's call and rush home, but now he was disappointed.

Li Zekai could only suppress his dissatisfaction and busy himself with the work his father had assigned him.

The Li Family Mansion.

Zhuang Mingyue eagerly awaited her son's return, wanting to tell him about the hardships she had endured over the years and what Li Jiacheng had done to her, so that he would see Li Jiacheng's true colors.

But no matter how long I waited, it felt like an eternity, and my son still didn't come back.

In fact, less than 10 minutes had passed.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Zhuang Mingyue was startled. She glanced at her phone, wondering what had happened this time.

After hesitating for a while, she mustered her courage, picked up the phone, and asked timidly, "Hello, who is this?"

Then came Li Zeju's voice.

Li Zeju told her that he would be back later, as he still had things to finish.

Zhuang Mingyue felt a pang of disappointment, her heart sinking, as if she were in an ice cellar.

This son, who was closest to her, was also drifting further and further away.

She was devastated.

Suppressing the chill in her heart, she simply said, "Alright, you go ahead and get busy. You can come back when you're done!"

After hanging up the phone, Mingyue looked at the suicide note in front of her.

The more I look at it, the sadder and more heartbroken I become; the more I look at it, the more I feel that life is not worth living!

She became depressed, more upset than ever before.

She suffers from depression, and one of the causes of her illness is that Li Ka-shing has been constantly seizing the family's assets and treating her badly.

It's worth noting that Li Ka-shing's initial success was due to a financial assistance of tens of thousands of dollars from his father, which gradually helped him to make a living.

Later, her father arranged for her to marry him, hoping he would take good care of her, since he was her cousin.

However, over the years, Li Ka-shing has focused his attention on business and has paid little attention to her.

The past events flashed before my eyes like faded old photographs.

There were happy times, of course, but there were far more unhappy and sad times.

The more I think about it, the sadder I get!

Zhuang Mingyue felt that she could not wait any longer, or rather, even if she waited for Li Zeju to arrive, it would be useless—he was no longer on her side.

I hope he will see these suicide notes I wrote.

Hopefully, he can see Li Ka-shing for who he really is and then do something for him.

Besides that, Zhuang Mingyue couldn't ask for anything more.

In the end, she even gave up hope that Li Zeju would see the suicide note or do anything about it.

Forget it, let's leave, let's leave!

This world is no longer worth staying in.

Zhuang Mingyue took out a lot of medicine from the cabinet.

These medications were all for treating her neurasthenia and depression.

She took out all the medicines, poured them on the table, and filled a large glass with water.

She let out a long breath and swallowed all the medicine at once.

It's important to know that many antidepressants are very potent and must be taken strictly according to your doctor's instructions.

Overdosing on antidepressants can lead to various adverse consequences.

Zhuang Mingyue certainly knew this.

She did this to end her own life.

The drug took effect quickly, and her consciousness soon became blurred; however, she still remembered many things from earlier.

Countless happy moments from the past flashed before my eyes:

Her father's love for her, the various amusing anecdotes from her teenage years, and her admiration for her cousin.

But……

If life were only as beautiful as our first meeting, why would the autumn wind bring sorrow to the painted fan?

Zhuang Mingyue lay on the bed and slowly stopped breathing.

Crystalline tears streamed down her face.

Soon, the pillow was soaked.
