Chapter 1265: The End

"Is this okay?" Looking at the suit on his body in the mirror, Li Zitao took a black-spotted tie and put it on the neckline to size up.

"You should wear more suits." Mary took the tie and tied it for him.

"It's still very uncomfortable. I like to wear it more comfortably." Li Zitao said with an awkward expression as he pulled the tied tie.

He is still not used to this overly formal attire, which makes every cell in his body feel inexplicably tense, perhaps more because of his own problems.

"Don't mess with it, we should go." Mary said, patting his hand off coquettishly.

This time it was a rare family dispatch. When the car arrived at the cemetery, all kinds of luxury cars were already parked on the side of the road. The drivers with white gloves stood by the car and looked at the cemetery in the distance.

"Let's go!" Pressing his wife's hand in her arms, and Aiden holding Pearl behind him, the group walked towards the cemetery.

"Why is he here?" George saw them from a long distance, and looked at his younger brother William with a frown.

"Today is my father's funeral, don't be ashamed anymore." Xiao William said indifferently, and took the initiative to go forward.

He also felt uncomfortable about Li Zitao's annexation of the Hearst Group, but from a business point of view, the other party did nothing wrong.

In business and business, the shopping mall is a cruel war. The big fish eats the small fish. This is the rule since ancient times. It will not change at any time, only the method is different.

And since the company was annexed, the other party has kept the promise to keep the name of 'Hearst', and the company's development has far exceeded the planned speed.

As far as the reduced shares are concerned, their value has more than tripled compared to the previous value. From this point of view, it is not a coincidence.

But this is only for Little William. The other companies lost most of their shares. George and George Jr. and his son even lost all their shares and were deprived of their positions in the company. They couldn't feel relieved so easily.

Seeing Li Zitao taking his wife and children, handing gifts to the servants, he bowed again. If it weren't for his father's funeral today, George and his son would definitely drive him out.

It was because of this kid that they lost all the shares and rights of their company. Every time they thought of this, the two of them would itch their teeth with hatred, 'However, this kid looks really young...'

Over the past ten years, Li Zitao's appearance has not changed at all from when he first appeared in the newspaper more than ten years ago.

Because of the company and shares, George conducted the most detailed investigation on him, and even found newspapers from more than ten years ago.

Unfortunately, apart from looking at the "Legends" in the newspapers, I found nothing else.

There was no way to verify the exaggerated rumors and insinuations in the tabloids. George had tried, but to no avail.

If there is any biggest gain, it is to let him have a deeper understanding of the family history of this bastard legend, and he is even more jealous of his good luck to the point of madness.

Whether it's the Great Depression or the plummet of silver, the profits obtained from these two things alone cannot be earned by other people in more than ten lifetimes.

Lucky Charlie, also came out from that time.

"William, I'm sorry..." Expressing apologies to William, Li Zitao stood beside him with his wife, son, and daughter. He was not interested in talking to other members of the Hearst family.

Look at their eyes, one by one can't wait to swallow themselves alive,

My teeth itch with hatred in my heart, why bother to find it boring.

In the Hearst Group, apart from him as the controlling shareholder, Lai William's direct blood relatives are only heirs, and William Jr. also holds 38% of the shares, making him the second largest shareholder of the group.

The combined shares held by other distant relatives do not exceed 3%, and it is impossible to pose any threat at all, so there is no need to waste time on them.

The atmosphere at the funeral was very heavy. There is no such thing as a disco on the grave these days. If someone dares to do this, the best end is to be beaten to death.

After the funeral, Li Zitao declined Little William's invitation to entertain, and returned home with his family.

"I'm going to get off at the bus stop ahead. There are some things I need to do." Aiden pointed to the bus stop ahead and said.

"Let the driver take you there." Mary looked at him and said.

"No, I'll be back soon." Seeing his insistence, Li Zitao asked Danny to park the car on the side of the road.

"What do you think is the matter?" After Aiden got out of the car, Mary asked her husband while looking at him waiting for the car on the side of the road.

"Aside from Riley, is there any other reason?" Li Zitao smiled, held her hand comfortingly and said, "He's still very young, give him some free time."

Arriving on the Upper West Side by tram, Aiden looked up at the apartment not far away, and it wasn't the first time he had been here.

What brought him to Riley he couldn't even say, but he just had the urge to end up with her.

On the issue of marriage, Aiden would tell her his true thoughts. These are too far away for himself, he can't promise anything, but he will try hard.

'Um? ’ Aiden, who was walking towards the apartment, stopped and looked at the opposite coffee shop with a puzzled expression.

Through the glass window, Riley's familiar face came into view, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, talking to someone.

And sitting across from her was a young man who seemed to be in good spirits, with undisguised admiration in his eyes, even a fool could see it.

Aiden hesitated, should he leave now, or go up and ask what happened?

Father always taught them not to take things at face value.

But then the two got up and hugged, and the back of leaving the cafe together made Aiden bury the previous thoughts in his heart.

The fading figure and the intimate and ambiguous atmosphere made him realize that all his thoughts were unnecessary.

'it's over. ’ Aiden’s heart was involuntarily dull, as if someone was clenching it tightly, making it sore and painful.

"Taxi." Raising his hand to stop a taxi, Aiden sat in the car and said with his eyes closed, "Go to the busiest bar."

Given his age, the bar would not let him go, but after Aiden showed his Centurion Card, all the problems were solved.

"Today, I will pay for all the expenses..." Aiden, standing on the stage, raised his arms and screamed as he drank the single malt whiskey in his hand.

"Aww..." In the scene that was already on fire, the screams broke out and the ceiling was about to be blown off, and the violent music sounded, and Aiden was surrounded by a dozen hot figures.

On the edge of the dance floor, several men looked at Aiden who was twisting wildly with malicious eyes, and they didn't know what kind of plan they were thinking.

And all of this is meaningless to him. Now he just wants to get himself drunk and completely forget the images that keep rolling in his mind.
