"Mom, everyone, I'm sorry, I want to live too, but I have no other way..."
In the early morning of September 1, 2016, by the Han River Bridge.
A middle-aged woman in a black and white striped blouse desperately left the last recording of her life.
After speaking, she looked at the dark river under the bridge, and without hesitation, she jumped and ended all her worries in the world.
When the sun rises on the new day, the sun shines on every corner, and the body of the middle-aged woman also appears in the lower reaches of the Han River.
People hurriedly called the police, and the police rushed to the scene.
However, after confirming the identity of the middle-aged woman, they were shocked and unable to speak on the spot.
Unexpectedly, this woman turned out to be Lee Mei-lan, the wife of South Korean chaebol Fang Rongxun.
How could a rich lady who is high up in the sky fall into such a fate? What's going on here?
The mystery of the death of the chaebol's wife
After discovering Li Meilan's body, the police did not choose to notify her family at the first time, but first contacted her husband, Fang Rongxun.
Strangely, after learning that his wife had committed suicide by jumping into the river, Fang Rongxun's reaction was not as shocking and sad as imagined.
Instead, after receiving Li Meilan's body, he quickly ordered him to be sent to a funeral home for cremation.
After the cremation, Fang Rongxun quickly held a funeral ceremony for her.
In the whole process, there were no upper-class friends made by the Fang Group, no Li Meilan's family, and no one was sad and sad for her.
Li Meilan's posthumous affair completed the process in just a few hours, perfunctory and desolate.
However, the paper can not contain the fire in the end.
As the wife of Fang Rongxun, the majority shareholder of Chosun Ilbo, South Korea's most influential news outlet, the news of Lee Meilan's sudden death has not gone far and wide, and it has quickly caused a huge sensation across the country.
You know, in South Korea, the chaebol means that he can control everything, which is not only a fact for all Koreans, but also for the world.
Generally speaking, women who marry into chaebol families are usually the right people and also enjoy supreme glory.
For example, Hong Luoxi, the wife of former Samsung president Lee Kin Hee, went all the way from a high-society celebrity to a chaebol wife.
Up to now, she has successfully entered the Forbes list of the world's richest people, and she still has endless glory and wealth in her later years.
In contrast, Li Meilan, who is also the wife of a chaebol, has ended up with such a fate, which is really a bit elusive.
Do rich people also have troubles that ordinary people can't understand?
Just when people were confused about this matter, Li Meilan's family suddenly stood up and issued a statement, once again pushing public opinion to the highest peak.
They said that the reason why Li Meilan chose to take her life lightly was forced to die by her husband Fang Rongxun.
A living magnate feud drama was thus exposed to the public, and more and more people were surprised and wondered what this tycoon wife had experienced.
Soon, the police launched a detailed investigation.
From the surveillance video that Li Meilan was finally photographed before leaving home, it can be seen that she has been in a very low mood before she gave birth to her life.
Not only did he not have the heart to dress himself, but the whole person also looked haggard.
Later, through Li Meilan's family, people finally knew that her rich life over the years had always been better than death.
The secret of the rich man's wife
Can marry into the Fang Group, Li Meilan's family background must not be underestimated.
Indeed, her home is still a little involved with politics.
Lee Mei-lan's father was in charge of treating the president exclusively, and his status in South Korea was very high.
Born in such a family, Li Meilan has lived a worry-free life since she was a child, and she has also been cultivated to learn about Shu Dali and have an outstanding temperament.
When she was a teenager, she never lacked suitors around her, excellent, cunning, and door-to-door everything.
But Li Meilan did not accept it, because she focused on learning.
At the age of 23, Lee Mei-ran graduated from a top university in South Korea with excellent results, and then she set herself a new goal: to study abroad and continue her studies.
Before leaving, Li Meilan attended the graduation party with her classmates and was ready to say goodbye to her college life.
It was during this period that she met Fang Rongxun.
At that time, Fang Rongxun, as the second son of the Chosun Ilbo, although slightly inferior in appearance, he had money and status and status.
The point is that he has been handy in the love field for a long time, and he is also very good at catching up with girls.
Because he knew that Li Meilan had not been in love, Fang Rongxun used all the tricks that could be used, such as flowers, brand-name bags, and luxury car transfers.
After being together, Fang Rongxun would also take her on a trip.
After determining Li Meilan's intentions, Fang Rongxun directly stepped in the door and publicly proposed marriage to Li Meilan on the front page of the "Chosun Ilbo" run by himself.
What girl can resist such a romantic courtship?
Li Meilan felt that she had met the most correct person in her life, so she gave up the idea of going abroad for further study and married Fang Rongxun without hesitation.
The wedding ceremony of the two is very sweet, and Li Meilan's happiness and shyness are also real, at that time, she also looked forward to the happy life of the two after their marriage in the future.
But it turned out that Li Meilan was too naïve.
Even if she is the daughter of a famous person and highly educated, she still can't get rid of the rules and regulations of the giants.
Originally, before marriage, Li Meilan had already discussed with Fang Rongxun that she could do what she wanted to do after marriage.
It didn't take long for her to get pregnant.
When the mother-in-law saw her like this, she gave an order to let her raise her well at home and not to learn from others to go out and show her face.
The implication is that since you have married and become a rich wife, you must not only pass on the family lineage to the Fang family, but also maintain the face of the Fang family.
Li Meilan was forced to be helpless, and she was pregnant again, so she temporarily gave up her previous idea.
However, there is no way to make money while staying at home, and she can only pin all her hopes on her husband.
But what she never expected was that Fang Rongxun's attitude had actually taken a 180-degree turn.
When chasing people before marriage, he was so generous, and after marriage, he became extremely stingy, only giving five million won a month for living expenses.
This surprised Li Meilan, who had always lived a privileged life.
After all, this number is really very inconspicuous for the wealthy Fang family.
Fortunately, during the pregnancy, the family's food and drink did not treat her badly, and when Li Meilan gave birth, the Fang family also arranged a high-end confinement center for her.
After giving birth to the first child, Li Meilan wanted to have a good rest, but she did not expect that after a period of time, Fang Rongxun coaxed her to conceive the second one.
In the next few years, Li Meilan's belly did not stop until she gave birth to a fourth child.
What she didn't know was that when she risked her life to reproduce the Fang family, her husband had already been picking flowers and weeds everywhere, and new women were continuing.
As for the feelings between husband and wife, they have long been different from before.
Fang Rongxun talks with people on different occasions all day long, and Li Meilan spends most of her time taking care of her children.
Seeing that the two have lived a life of the same bed and different dreams, Li Meilan has also turned from hopeful to disappointed in this marriage.
In the end, Fang Rongxun, who was her husband, still wanted to kill her.
Multiple betrayals of husbands and children
By the time the four children are older, it's time to go abroad for school.
As a father, Fang Rongxun did not want to care about this, and he coldly gave Li Meilan 5 billion won to let her spend all on her children's education and life.
Li Meilan thought that since it was for the good of the child, she endured this resignation.
But unexpectedly, in 2009, with the exposure of a news that shocked the entertainment industry, the marriage of the two was once again irreparably crisen.
At that time, a female star named Zhang Ziyan finally chose to live lightly, because she could not stand the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.
Before she died, she wrote a long list of shocking things she had suffered during her lifetime.
It turned out that she had been forced to serve many high-level entertainment circles and high-powered chaebols.
Those greasy and lustful men treated her like a toy and made her feel miserable.
When the list was announced, people saw a lot of familiar names on it, and Fang Rongxun was also impressively listed.
After hearing about this incident, Li Meilan was shocked at the same time, but also extremely contemptuous of him.
At the moment, she only had one thought, that is, to divorce quickly.
But just as the so-called one into the rich is as deep as the sea, it is easy to marry in the first place, and if you want to leave, I am afraid that you will have to pay a price.
When Li Meilan spoke out his thoughts, Fang Rongxun first refused.
At such a juncture, he has to face a lot of public criticism, and if he divorces again and again, can't he be more pointed out by thousands of people?
Moreover, Li Meilan has lived in the Fang family for many years and knows a lot of secrets, and it is difficult to guarantee that she will not go out and talk about it.
In order to dispel her desire for divorce, Fang Rongxun immediately offered to let Lee Meilan return the 5 billion won to herself.
You know, after the money was given, Li Meilan basically spent all it on her children, and there was not much left, so how could she pay it back?
Seeing that Li Meilan had nothing to say, Fang Rongxun took advantage of the danger and questioned that she had used all the money to subsidize her mother's family.
There was really no way, Li Meilan contacted her children abroad and asked them to testify for themselves.
As a result, I never expected that these unfilial sons would actually stand on their father's side.
Li Meilan's heartache was so great that she even suspected that she was teaching her children in the wrong way, otherwise why would she be treated like this?
In fact, several children enjoy a life of good food and clothing, and they understand who can provide such a life for themselves.
Weighing the pros and cons, they must be on the father's side.
Li Meilan did not expect that she had worked hard for half a life and ended up with such a fate, she tried to resist, but in exchange for cold eyes and ridicule.
And sometimes when Fang Rongxun was in a hurry, he dared to punch and kick each other.
Li Meilan, who suffered domestic violence, once thought of finding a lawyer to solve this matter.
Unfortunately, in South Korea, chaebols are all hands-on, especially like the Fang Group, which can take the collapse of a law firm with a casual move.
Because of the fear of the Fang family's power, many lawyers did not dare to take Li Meilan's case, and some even suggested that she delete the relevant evidence.
Li Meilan had no way to ask for help, and she was already desperate to the extreme.
When she returned home and wanted to continue to rebel against Fang Rongxun, she was forcibly locked up in the shady basement by the other party.
Every day that followed, Fang Rongxun had people send in stale or expired food, as if they were treating beggars.
Sometimes when he was angry outside, Fang Rongxun would also take her by the air and beat her all over her body.
What is even more excessive is that after Li Meilan's four children were instigated by Fang Rongxun, they also acted as helpers on the side, using knives to cut their mother's back.
And the reason why they are so obedient is because Fang Rongxun once said that whoever wants to get the money back will have the right to inherit.
After four months in the basement, Fang Rongxun and his children prepared to put Li Meilan in a mental hospital.
Li Meilan, who was still awake, took this opportunity to quickly escape to her mother's house.
When they saw that she was covered in bruises and scars, and the whole person had become emaciated, the Li family was simply heartbroken.
After understanding, they knew that Li Meilan had suffered so many grievances in the Fang family.
In order to protect her from being hurt again, the Li family closed the door of the family and resolutely refused to give Fang Rongxun the opportunity to succeed again.
But even so, it couldn't stop Fang Rongxun from frequently making trouble.
In the end, because she did not want to see her family threatened, Li Meilan took advantage of their deep sleep and drove to the Han River Bridge and jumped to end her painful life.
Ironically, when Lee Mei-ran died, many South Korean netizens strongly demanded justice for her.
But in South Korea, where the chaebol is single-handed, the police can do nothing.
In the end, Fang Rongxun and his children were only given lenient punishments.
Only Li Meilan is forgotten, and the chaebols will continue to cover the sky with one hand and become a presence that ordinary people cannot reach.
