Divorce Only Makes a Son-in-Law Stronger-Chapter 129, I can still give birth!

"Grandpa, could the person on that stretcher be...?"

Inside the hall on the first floor, the crowd wore varied expressions. They all stared at the armed guards at the staircase as they whispered among themselves. Yuan Youwei’s beautiful eyes flashed with an extraordinary light. She couldn’t help but lean close to Mr. Yuan Sr., who stood with his hands clasped behind his back, and venture a cautious guess.

"Enough. Don’t get involved, and don’t say another word. We’ll pretend we know nothing," Mr. Yuan Sr. said, shaking his head with a smile, yet drops of cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

Good heavens, if her guess turns out to be true, it would be utterly terrifying. I can’t think about it too deeply. I don’t dare!

"What right do you have to stop me? That’s my Uncle Nie, a family elder who watched me grow up!"

At the same time, Wen Zheyang, his face flushed, ran to the entrance of the stairwell and shouted. Having been shoved aside by Nie Feng just moments ago, his face burned with shame.

If I don’t get my dignity back, this will be a huge loss of face!

"Scram! Take one more step and you’ll be shot on the spot!" an expressionless guard barked coldly at Wen Zheyang.

Seeing that Wen Zheyang looked undeterred, he continued to push forward with a sulky expression, shouting defiantly.

CLACK!

The guard and his comrade across the way immediately cocked their rifles. They pressed the dark muzzles against Wen Zheyang’s forehead.

"Fuck! You damn soldiers dare to disrespect the Third Young Master of the Wen family?" Wen Zheyang was about to explode with rage, his face twisting into a ferocious scowl. He shouted furiously, but fine beads of sweat were clearly forming on his forehead.

"Fine, fine! Just you wait! All of you, just wait!"

The soldiers’ gazes hardened as they placed their index fingers on the triggers. Wen Zheyang’s eyelids twitched wildly. After a few blustering threats, he turned tail and fled in disgrace. A roar of laughter erupted behind him, causing him to stumble before he quickened his pace.

Lin Fan, you just wait! When I get back to the Imperial Capital, I’ll tell my family everything. I’ll have the Old Master send people to slowly deal with you and the Yuan family!

Roaring inwardly with mortified rage, Wen Zheyang clenched his fists, rushed to his car outside, and sped away.

"Dad, you ran off without a word again. Do you have any idea what I’ve been through these past few days?!"

At that moment, in a corner of the hall, Su Mengqing stared intently at the ruddy-faced Su Guang, her jaw clenched tight.

"Mengqing, let me explain. I had no choice," Su Guang said, glancing around before deliberately lowering his voice. "I’ve infiltrated the inner circle of the Sha Country Royal Family and I’m about to be given a major position!"

He recalled the important task Ah Jie had entrusted to him: to travel back to Haicheng on a specialized Da Xia Military plane. At the thought, Su Guang’s heart surged with excitement. He couldn’t help but grin smugly, his face twisting with glee.

"At a time like this, you’re still lying to me? The Su family is finished, completely ruined by Lin Fan! And it’s all because you ran off with over five hundred million!" Su Mengqing cried, her face contorted in pain and indignation as she shook her head furiously.

"Su Hua and the others are pressing me for compensation, and they’ve looted and smashed our home... Even Su Pharmaceutical has been taken by Lin Fan! Mom had a cerebral hemorrhage from the stress Lin Fan caused and is now partially paralyzed. I can’t even afford her hospital bills, so I had to take her back to our old house in the urban village to recover. And Su Gang... Lin Fan had him arrested just now. He’s been taken away by the authorities. He’s going to prison!"

Finishing her choked-out speech, Su Mengqing was now a sobbing mess.

"Ah... I was only gone for a few days. How did things get this bad?" Su Guang froze for a moment, then his face reddened, and he let out an awkward laugh. "Mengqing, don’t be afraid. Dad isn’t the same man he used to be. I’m more than capable of restoring the Su family’s fortunes!"

"You... you’ve disappointed me so much. You don’t deserve to be my father!" However, Su Mengqing didn’t believe a word, and her sobs only grew more bitter.

"What way is that to talk to your father? Yes, I acted like a fool before, but I’m trying to turn over a new leaf!" Su Guang’s face flushed with anger. "Hmph, the night before I left, didn’t I specifically tell you to maintain a good relationship with Lin Fan? Didn’t I say that you must remarry him, no matter what? But did any of you listen? You absolutely deserve to be in this mess!"

What? Even now, you still want us to go crawling back to Lin Fan?

BOOM!

Su Mengqing’s body trembled as her vision went dark. She abruptly raised her bloodshot eyes, staring at him as if he were a complete stranger.

"You’re not my father! You’re a monster, an animal! Give me back that five hundred million! If you don’t, I’ll... I’ll report you for the greater good! For illegal fundraising and fraud!"

SLAP!

Stunned, Su Guang was so furious his nose was practically askew. He fiercely slapped Su Mengqing across the face.

"Su Mengqing, for whom have I been risking my life in the Sha Country, surviving by the skin of my teeth through a hail of bullets?" Su Guang bellowed, pointing at her nose. "I did it for you! For the entire Su family!"

"Heh, hit me. Go on, keep hitting me. You might as well beat me to death! It’s not like I want to live anymore anyway!" Su Mengqing laughed wretchedly, glaring fiercely at him.

"You fool! You’re just as foolish as your mother, Zhang Meili! I’ve already invested that 500 million with the Sha Country Royal Family. You want the money now? There’s not a single penny left!" Su Guang lowered the hand he had raised again, his face a mask of disappointment. "Besides, the money came from Su Pharmaceutical’s account. Even if I were to return it, it would go back the way it came. It has nothing to do with you! You’re a grown woman, yet you can’t even protect your family’s business. And you have the nerve to talk about reporting your own father for the ’greater good’?"

Growing angrier as he spoke, he took off his leather shoe. From inside, he dug out an old, hidden cell phone. "Look closely! When I told you to remarry Lin Fan, it was entirely for your own good!"

Opening his photo album, Su Guang pointed to an old picture from the Imperial Capital, taken seven years ago. He tapped his finger on Lin Fan’s face.

"Standing beside the old emperor of the Sha Country and his family, do you think Lin Fan is some ordinary person? Besides, he was only twenty at the time. He could easily be an outstanding scion from some major family in the Imperial Capital!"

Before, he had only thought the blurry figure in the photo bore a resemblance to Lin Fan. But after his recent experiences in the Sha Country, combined with Ah Jie’s deferential attitude toward Lin Fan, he was certain. Lin Fan was definitely someone with a powerful background. He had to be the same person as the royal family’s close guard in the photo.

The thought that his family had kicked out a titan like Lin Fan, and even repeatedly antagonized him, made Su Guang’s heart ache with such regret that he wanted to stomp his feet and howl.

"...No, that’s impossible! If Lin Fan was a scion from the Imperial Capital, why would he and his mother come to Haicheng, all alone and destitute?" Su Mengqing stared intently at the photo, her face draining of color.

She had believed Lin Fan was simply hiding his shortcomings. She never imagined the bastard’s background was also so extraordinary!

Then... my deliberate coldness toward him in the past... was it truly a monumentally stupid mistake?

Su Mengqing swayed on her feet, the world spinning around her as a loud buzzing filled her ears.

"Hmph, believe it or not. I’m still young. I can remarry and have more children. I’m not about to clean up this mess of yours and risk upsetting Lin Fan!" Su Guang put his phone away, a flicker of disgust in his eyes. "You and Su Gang are both useless, all thanks to your mother Zhang Meili’s bad genes. Luckily, I’m planning to become a citizen of the Sha Country, where I can have several wives. Don’t contact me again. I’ll just pretend I never had children. We’ll go our separate ways, and don’t any of you fucking bother me again!"

BOOM!

BOOM!

His merciless words and icy gaze were like a thousand arrows piercing straight through Su Mengqing’s heart. The pain was raw and bloody.

"Su Guang! You can’t just abandon us! You’re responsible for the state we’re in!" Su Mengqing finally broke down, her cries turning into heart-wrenching screams.

My brother, Su Gang, is abandoning us. Now even my father, who just reappeared, is doing the same? Is the entire world abandoning me?!

"Don’t cling to me. From this moment on, we have no relationship whatsoever!" Su Guang turned and stalked away with a cold expression, completely ignoring Su Mengqing’s violently trembling body as she cried out in utter grief and despair.

"President Yuan, I suggest we clear the venue immediately to prevent any information from leaking!" His demeanor changed in an instant. He scurried over to Mr. Yuan Sr.’s side and suggested with an obsequious smile.

"Alright, we’ll do as you say," Mr. Yuan Sr. replied, nodding with a smile. He privately marveled at Su Guang’s unbelievable dumb luck. The Su family was finished, yet this fellow had somehow managed to latch onto Lin Fan’s coattails. Now that he was involved in such a confidential mission, he couldn’t be underestimated in the future.

"Everyone, please head home for today. The medical procurement conference will proceed as scheduled tomorrow and the day after, hosted by my Yuan family!" Turning around, Mr. Yuan Sr. announced with a hearty laugh, simultaneously giving Mrs. Xue a meaningful look.

She understood immediately and led her people toward the reporters with their cameras and microphones. Very politely, she had them delete all the audio and video they had recorded.

"Su Mengqing, what are you still standing here for? Hoping to stay for dinner?"

Mr. Wang Sr. and the others left one after another, and the rest of the crowd quickly dispersed. Soon, only the Yuan family, Su Guang, and a few others remained in the vast exhibition hall. Yuan Youwei walked up to the motionless Su Mengqing and asked with a smirk.

"Fine, I’m leaving! I’m leaving right now! People like you who are in league with Lin Fan will all come to a bad end!" Su Mengqing took a deep breath and fiercely wiped away her tears. She then threw the janitor’s uniform in her hands to the ground and scrambled away in humiliation.

"...I’m going to take care of my wounds. Can you say hello to... Director Lin for me?" Wang Meng said, clutching his chest, his face slightly pale. Without waiting for Mrs. Xue’s reply, he turned for a final, deep look toward the second floor before striding away.

"That man’s not so bad at heart. He just has the same damn attitude as Lin Fan, hmph," Mrs. Xue muttered, her gaze shifting from the exit. She, along with Mr. Yuan Sr. and Yuan Youwei, turned to look up at the second floor.

A full five minutes had passed since Lin Fan’s group went upstairs, yet not a single sound had been heard. It was impossible to know if they would succeed.
