Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!-Chapter 644 - : Face the Reality

Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Face the Reality

Li Guangming didn’t believe it, took out his cell phone, called Meng Zhiwen, and put him on speakerphone.

The call connected quickly.

Meng Zhiwen’s voice came through, “Old Li, how’s it going? Where are you?”

Li Guangming said, “I’m back in the capital, went to see my dad at the detention center. My current situation is pretty bad, and I’m planning to stay at your place for a while. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“This is…” Meng Zhiwen hesitated, “Old Li, I can’t decide on that, and I’m at the airport right now, about to go abroad. Why don’t you call my dad and ask him?”

...

Li Guangming said, “I see. Well, I’ll figure something out. That’s all for now, hanging up.”

After hanging up the phone, his face darkened.

Meng Zhiwen’s words were undoubtedly an excuse.

What a bunch of nonsense about going abroad.

He remembered that before he went to Harbor City, they had talked, and Meng Zhiwen said he wouldn’t leave the capital for a month as he planned to become acquainted with the family company’s situation, preparing to take over.

Telling him to call his dad was even more an excuse.

If he called Meng Zhiwen’s dad, he would definitely be rejected. It would just be humiliating for him.

“You believe it now?” Li Ruinian said, “The relationships between people require mutual interests to maintain. Without those interests, many will distance themselves from you.”

“Of course, I’m not saying there’s no true friendship between people, it’s just very rare, at least Meng Zhiwen doesn’t have it.”

“Scions of great families also find it difficult to handle major matters based on personal feelings; they mostly adhere to family arrangements.”

“If I’m not mistaken, Meng Zhiwen said so probably because his dad warned him. So, you better stop thinking about asking any friends for help.”

“Our Li Family is finished. Your friends will undoubtedly avoid you at all costs, how could they possibly help you? Seeking their help would just be humiliating.”

Li Guangming’s face was clouded with uncertainty.

Meng Zhiwen was his best friend, and the fact that even such a close friend wouldn’t help him was hard for him to accept. He felt that he had misplaced his trust in past friendships.

After a long time, he finally said, “Dad, if Meng Zhiwen won’t help me, the people I’ve helped in the past should, right? I remember two years ago when I came back, a junior from a third-tier family came to me, that guy seemed to be Feng Chao. I helped him, and his family’s company didn’t go under. He said he’d be at my beck and call, he can’t be so ungrateful, can he?”

Li Ruinian scoffed, “If you’re still not convinced, you can try calling to see.”

These types of things, you can’t just tell someone how they work, Li Guangming had to experience them for himself.

Once he experienced it for himself, he would naturally believe it.

“I don’t believe that even he won’t help me.”

Li Guangming truly wasn’t ready to give up, he dialed Feng Chao’s number and again turned on the speakerphone.

The call connected quickly.

A voice came through the phone, “Hello, who is this?”

Li Guangming said sternly, “It’s Li Guangming. Didn’t you save my number? I remember when we exchanged numbers you said you’d keep it for life.”

“Oh, it’s young master Li,” Feng Chao chuckled lightly, “I’m sorry, young master Li, I lost my phone a while ago and got a new one, so I don’t have your number. Please understand.”

Li Guangming snorted coldly, “If that’s the case, let it be. I won’t hold it against you.”

Feng Chao sighed, “Young master Li, I’m aware of your family’s situation. Don’t overthink it, those who got locked up are in, and those who didn’t still have lives to live, right?”

Li Guangming said, “You make a good point. I’m out of money now, so lend me some money first.”

As soon as Feng Chao heard the request for a loan, his demeanor changed, and he laughed awkwardly, “Young master Li, you’re asking the wrong person for money. I’m broke.”

Li Guangming snorted, “I haven’t even said how much I need, and you’re already saying you don’t have money?”

Feng Chao forced a smile, “So, Mr. Li, how much do you want to borrow?”

Li Guangming said, “Not much, just one million.”

One million, Feng Chao had it, but he was not going to lend it.

Li Guangming was no longer the heir to the Li Family; Feng Chao no longer had any reason to maintain a good relationship with him.

As for the help Li Guangming had given him in the past, it was only after he shamelessly went to Li Guangming and begged that he received his help, and afterwards, he even gave Li Guangming a Ferrari worth over ten million as a gesture of thanks.

To be honest, he didn’t feel he owed Li Guangming anything, especially after learning that the Li Family was finished.

Feng Chao said, “Mr. Li, you want to borrow one million, but I really don’t have it.”

Li Guangming asked, “You don’t have it, or you don’t want to lend it?”

Feng Chao said, “I really don’t have it.”

Li Guangming said sternly, “Feng Chao, I can’t be bothered to talk nonsense with you. I know you have it. Just tell me whether you will lend it or not.”

Feng Chao plaintively said, “Mr. Li, you’re making it meaningless. I’ve told you I don’t have it, yet you still want me to lend it. Where am I supposed to find the money to lend you?”

Li Guangming cursed, “Feng Chao, I didn’t expect you to be such an ungrateful bastard. If I had known, I wouldn’t have helped you, and it would have been better to let your company go bankrupt.”

After a moment of silence, Feng Chao spoke, “Li Guangming, I didn’t really want to burn bridges with you, but since you’re taking this attitude, there’s no need for me to be polite anymore. I do have money. It’s not just one million, even ten million I have, but I just won’t lend it to you. You’re no longer the heir of the Li Family; you’re almost like an ordinary person now, so don’t try to act high and mighty in front of me!”

“Fine, fine, fine,” Li Guangming laughed bitterly in anger, “Feng Chao, remember what you said today. When I make money in the future and step on you again, we’ll see what kind of face you’ll have then.”

Feng Chao curled his lip in disdain, “Li Guangming, how are you supposed to make money? If you weren’t the heir to the Li Family, do you think anyone would give you the time of day? Don’t even dream of making money to step on me. Just focus on living your ordinary life. Some people you’ve rubbed the wrong way in the past will probably come for you soon enough, so you better prepare for their revenge first.”

Although Li Guangming had spent most of these years overseas and rarely returned to the country, each time he did return, he would always meet up with friends and attend various gatherings. There were people who had been slighted by him and held a grudge.

Now that the Li Family was ruined, Li Guangming was bound to be unlucky.

Li Guangming’s face darkened, looking as if he was about to drip water.

He wanted to scream curses but then heard the dial tone.

Feng Chao had hung up the phone.

“This ungrateful bastard!”

Li Guangming trembled with rage.

Li Ruinian said, “Do you see reality clearly now?”

Li Guangming took a deep breath and clenched his fists, “I get it, I can only rely on myself now.”

Li Ruinian nodded, “That’s right, and you don’t need to think about anything else. Find a place to live a good life.”

Li Guangming nodded, “Dad, once Xu Yang is dead, I’ll make his family pay a little price, then I’ll find a secluded place to live well. I’ll come back to visit you all when I have time.”

Li Ruinian shook his head, “Don’t seek revenge against Xu Yang’s family anymore, or you’ll only bring trouble upon yourself. You must understand that you’re not the same as you were before; you have nothing now. What’s the use of causing a little harm to others? In the end, it will only hurt you.”

Li Guangming said, “So we’re just supposed to let this go? If not for Xu Yang, our Li Family wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

Li Ruinian smiled, “Paying with his life is enough.”

Li Guangming was silent for a long time, then nodded, “Alright, I’ll remember that.”

The two talked for a while longer and then ended their meeting. Li Guangming went to see his grandfather afterward.

The meeting between grandson and grandfather was much the same as that with his father.

After seeing both of them, Li Guangming left the detention center.

He planned to stay in the capital for one night, then leave the capital tomorrow.
