Divorce Only Makes a Son-in-Law Stronger-Chapter 225 - 224: Still Trying to Climb the Social Ladder?
"Wait, are you really here to break off the engagement?"
Seeing Mr. Yuan Sr. and his group looking relieved and at ease,
they didn’t seem to want to engage further.
Mr. Wen Sr.’s expression stiffened, he frowned, and asked to confirm.
Wen Jian Country furrowed his brows even more, suddenly scoffing and shaking his head.
"With this retreat-to-advance trick, don’t try to fool me. Isn’t this a ploy you are scheming?"
"Who cares about climbing the Wen family? I, Yuan Youwei, am not without suitors and don’t have to shamelessly marry into your Wen family!"
Yuan Youwei, half-smiling, stepped forward and tightly wrapped her arms around Lin Fan’s.
She was undaunted, meeting the strange looks around them head-on.
"Humph, stop pretending to be tough. Your Yuan family clearly knew my uncle made great contributions to the country and chose this moment on purpose to come!"
Wen Zheyang’s eye twitched, full of jealousy as he glared at Lin Fan, then sneered with disdain at Yuan Youwei.
Even though he felt the other party didn’t match up to him,
seeing this pair of lovebirds showing affection in front of him was still distasteful.
"I know what you’re thinking. You want to use breaking off the engagement to extort benefits from my uncle? I’m telling you, no chance!"
A young girl from the Wen family pointed at Yuan Youwei and Lin Fan, rolling her eyes.
"Jianguo just got home, and you rushed over. If this is a coincidence, I’d be damned!"
Another middle-aged man from the Wen family said with a grim expression, obviously resentful.
Many others nodded in agreement, once again showing derisive sneers, looking at them as if they were idiots.
"Are you out of your minds? Lin Fan is more handsome and wealthier than Wen Zheyang. Only a fool would choose your Wen family!"
At this moment,
Xia Bingbing couldn’t hold back any longer, loudly stating her case before stepping up and intentionally wrapping her arms around Lin Fan’s.
"My family’s Young Master is of such a status that you’re not even worthy to shine his shoes."
Wu Miaomiao scoffed, then followed, linking her arm with Lin Fan’s.
Only Huang Xiaoya was left standing blushing, hesitated for a moment.
Then, with determination, she stepped forward and tightly held onto Lin Fan.
All at once, the mocking and ridiculing voices around them stopped abruptly.
The whole Wen family was stunned.
Wen Zheyang was beside himself with anger, his face contorting, veins bulging on his forehead.
This is insane. They kept saying they were here to break off the engagement,
but in the end, Lin Fan was the center of attention, with several girls surrounding him!
And what’s crucial is that Yuan Youwei doesn’t even seem angry?
No matter how much you like Lin Fan, you can’t let him play around with several women!
"Young man, don’t be so arrogant in what you do; knowing your limits is the only way forward."
Wen Jian Country looked as if he had swallowed a dead fly, ugly-faced.
He spoke coldly, casting a malicious glance at Lin Fan.
This is too much, truly too much!
Who knows where Lin Fan found these stunning beauties from,
they cooperated so well, coming to slap the Wen family’s face with him!
What’s more deadly is that they genuinely seem to have come to break off the engagement, not aiming at him at all...
Under the eyes of the gathered crowd around,
recalling the confident words he declared earlier, Wen Jian Country felt his face burning with embarrassment.
"Enough with the nonsense. Since you think the Yuan family wants to climb higher branches, let’s just break it off and annul this engagement swiftly."
Lin Fan responded coldly, poker-faced.
Feeling four girls secretly competing, purposefully holding tighter.
As if they wished to tear him apart and claim a piece each.
Lin Fan couldn’t help but twitch his mouth, quietly releasing his Qi Force.
Causing Yuan Youwei and the others to tremble and release their grips as if shocked by electricity.
"Ha, what a grand joke! Do you really think you can break off my Wen family’s engagement?"
"Even if it were to end, it would be our Wen family initiating it!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Jian Country’s pupils contracted in growing anger, pointing at Lin Fan and shouting.
"Fine, we can break it off, but you’ll have to show some sincerity."
Just then.
Mr. Wen Sr., with a difficult expression, snorted, signaling to an attendant.
The attendant quickly fetched and brought forth a yellowed marriage contract, placing it before Mr. Wen Sr. with both hands.
"Old Yuan, here’s the contract. If you want it back, release the herbal procurement business of the Southwest provinces."
Mr. Wen Sr. took the marriage contract, giving it a light flick, ostensibly smiling as he spoke to Mr. Yuan Sr.
Realizing the other was resolute in breaking off the engagement.
Even he couldn’t help but feel his old face burn as if he’d been slapped with an invisible hand.
Now that all pretenses are off,
he might as well go for broke and use the engagement dissolution as leverage!
"This... Mr. Wen, I’m afraid I can’t comply. That business belongs to Lin Fan, and our Yuan family has no say in it."
Mr. Yuan Sr. shook his head, cupped his hands, and replied.
What?
The person behind monopolizing the entire herb purchasing business in the Southwest turns out to be this young man in front of us?
What exactly is this young man’s identity, being able to snag such a big piece of the pie?
Not to mention needing immense influence to deal with all sorts of people.
Just the vast amount of required funds is enough to astonish anyone!
Mr. Wen Sr. opened his mouth in shock, as if he had misheard.
The surrounding Wen family members were even more dumbstruck, with faces full of disbelief.
Even Wen Jianguo, who usually prided himself on his status and disregarded others, couldn’t help but be moved, looking at Lin Fan intently for the first time.
"Lin Fan, since you’re in such a rush to help Yuan Youwei call off the engagement, show some sincerity, isn’t that reasonable?"
Wen Zheyang secretly gritted his teeth, a surge of jealousy rising in his heart.
For some reason, he always felt that as the third young master of the Wen family, he was always overshadowed by Lin Fan.
After saying this with a sarcastic tone, Wen Zheyang pointed at Yuan Youwei and shouted loudly.
"Give the business to me unconditionally, or don’t even think about calling off the engagement easily!"
"Additionally, you must publicly claim that rallying the major pharmaceutical companies of the north and south to resist Iguchi Pharmaceutical Group was arranged by me, Wen Zheyang, in advance!"
This remark caused the hall to fall silent again.
Then, Lin Fan suddenly chuckled, as if he were looking at a fool!
"I think you’re just daydreaming, wanting both fame and fortune?"
"Hmph, why not? If you don’t agree, I’ll drag the engagement on, leaving you two in an unjustifiable mess!"
Wen Zheyang’s face turned red from anger, roaring furiously in shame.
"And would your so-called fiancée being with another man bring glory to the Wen family?"
Lin Fan found it incredibly amusing and couldn’t help but shake his head.
"Or is it that you, Wen Zheyang, are naturally inclined to being a cuckold?"
"You, you...! Shut up, shut the hell up!!"
His hidden pain was directly exposed, making Wen Zheyang explode with rage, nearly furious to death!
He pointed at Lin Fan, cursing and almost wanting to rush forward to fight!
"Lin Fan! Don’t be too arrogant, this is the Wen Mansion, how dare you act wild here!"
Seeing this, the friends and family of the Wen family felt a bit embarrassed.
They secretly cursed Wen Zheyang for being a disgrace, easily played into awkwardness by just a few words.
Wen Jianjun and Liu Ruojun also felt their faces burning, couldn’t help but look expectantly at Mr. Wen Sr. and Wen Jianguo.
Under everyone’s gaze.
Mr. Wen Sr.’s old face flushed with anger, unable to help himself, slammed the table and rose.
"If I insist on this, what can your Wen family do?"
Lin Fan’s lips curled into a sneer, speaking calmly.
"Business isn’t given away, it’s built with real money, and if your Wen family can get the herbal suppliers to turn around and continue cooperating with you, I have nothing to say."
"And as for cleaning up your Wen family’s mess and whitewashing your collaboration with the Sakura Country’s small devils to harm the domestic Chinese medicine market?"
"You know exactly what you’ve done, think you can cover it up with a few words?"
The more he spoke, the angrier he became, unable to help but face Wen Zheyang coldly.
"What goes around comes around, the Wen family name is rot, and you deserve it!"
"You, get out! All of you, get out of the Wen family!!"
Hearing this, the scene erupted with uproar!
One by one, the Wen family members were furious, glaring angrily at Lin Fan and his group.
Mr. Wen Sr. was trembling with rage, his body wavering, as if he might drop dead on the spot!
"You punk, you’re the first to speak to the Wen family like this, have you thought about the cost of arrogance?"
Wen Jianguo was also furious, his eyes nearly spitting fire.
He pointed at Lin Fan, mocking him with anger and threatened loudly.
"Believe me or not, as soon as you step out that door, I’ll have you bankrupt and begging the Wen family for mercy in no time!"
"I don’t believe it, who the hell dares to use such a tone to threaten our Young Master, you’ve got a lot of nerve!"
Next moment.
Before Lin Fan could respond.
There came a commotion from outside the door, drawing everyone’s attention.
Clatter, clatter!
Two rows of Sha Country guards in white uniforms marched in unison.
Surrounding a middle-aged Xia Country man.
It was Yuan Ruohai, who had just rushed over after a meeting!
"What’s the situation?"
"Why are there soldiers barging into our house, did someone cause trouble outside again?"
"I don’t know, these seem to be foreign troops, I haven’t seen these uniforms before..."
The Wen family members were shocked, retreating while whispering among themselves.
Wen Zheyang’s family of three huddled together, hiding behind Wen Jianguo.
"What are you doing, bringing soldiers to trespass on the Wen family, do you think the Imperial Capital is lawless?!"
Mr. Wen Sr. feigned calmness, his voice trembling with anger as he questioned loudly.
Not noticing Wen Jianguo beside him, his eyes widened, staring intently at Yuan Ruohai, as if seeing a ghost!
"Dad, please lower your voice... he, he seems to be the deputy leader of the Sha Country’s delegation!"
Wen Jianguo’s throat bobbed severely.
Then he tugged at Mr. Wen Sr.’s sleeve, stammering.
