Divorce Only Makes a Son-in-Law Stronger-Chapter 260 - 259: Shen Yueli Yields!
"...Alright, Lin Fan, rest assured, we promise not to omit a single word and will clear up the events from back then!"
"Indeed, whatever punishment is due, we are willing to accept it, and shall never again collude with those two families!"
Old Wang nodded heavily, his eyes resolute.
The other military bigshots also displayed unanimous attitudes, gritting their teeth and responding.
There was no choice; the news brought by Nie Feng clearly showed the Imperial Capital’s high-level attitude towards Lin Fan.
It was not at all the expected caution or indifference.
On the contrary, it was particularly attentive, even to the point of wanting to win him over!
If they did not take the initiative to express themselves and admit their mistakes now.
When the upper echelons pursued the matter proactively, it would be the end of everything!
Feeling a heavy weight in their hearts, Old Wang and others bid farewell to Lin Fan with clasped hands and turned towards the courtyard gate.
"No, don’t go! I’m begging you, please don’t go, whatever you do, do not go!"
Thud!
Shen Qingqiu panicked, collapsed at Old Wang’s feet, clutching his calf, desperately wailing.
"Dear old brothers, I’m kowtowing to you, I’m kneeling to you — isn’t that enough?"
Thud!
Mrs. Ying Sr. also collapsed, crawling on the ground, desperately trying to stop them.
"Get lost! Still trying to drag us down now, damn wicked!"
With a thud, Old Wang’s old face turned angry and he directly kicked Shen Qingqiu to the ground.
The others ignored Mrs. Ying Sr.’s sobbing on the ground, and simply bypassed her.
"Lin Fan, Lin Fan, please spare us!"
"We have old and young in our families, we can’t be implicated!"
Thud, thud!
Watching Old Wang and others resolutely leave, disappearing beyond the courtyard gate.
Ying and Shen family members looked at each other in panic, thoroughly bewildered.
Then they all knelt down loudly again, pleading with Lin Fan!
Compared to their previous kneeling, now they had no resentment, nor dared to show any dissatisfaction.
All were eagerly waiting for Lin Fan to be moved!
"What are you doing? What’s the use of begging that stone-hearted person?"
Shen Yueli withdrew her gaze from outside the courtyard gate, asking the crowd with a face full of numbness.
The situation was indeed beyond redemption.
She also had no ideas left, feeling only bleakness and suffocation.
Clearly seven years ago, she’d already pushed Lin Fan and his mother to a desperate situation.
How did it turn around, that dog returned ascendant, forcing her step by step into a corner?
Confusion, panic, resentment... all sorts of feelings surged endlessly in Shen Yueli’s heart.
Her eyes losing focus, her mind momentarily blank.
"Shen Yueli! How dare you say that? It’s all because of your cruelty that we’re in this mess!"
"Shen Yueli! You started all this, we’re innocent, you’re the real culprit!"
But the next moment.
Kneeling, everyone exploded, hating and blaming Shen Yueli.
"Sis, please stop talking, just stop..."
"Yueli, don’t you realize your mistake, both our families are doomed, do you understand?"
Seeing Shen Yueli arouse everyone’s anger, Shen Qingqiu’s face tightened, signaling her desperately.
Mrs. Ying Sr. also struggled to rise, for once showing a hint of resentment.
"Had it not been for you resenting Lin Suxin, inciting me to go against her, and persuading Wen Yuan to divorce... how would we end up like this?"
"Ha, blame me? You’re all blaming me now?"
Shen Yueli slightly opened her eyes, asking exaggeratedly surprised.
"Lin Suxin stole my beloved man, why should she have a good end, what’s wrong?"
"Mom, didn’t you hate Lin Suxin too? Why else would you cooperate with me to force Wen Yuan to divorce his wife and marry me, the adulterous woman?"
She chuckled, madness again showing in her eyes.
"You, you shut up! I just curse my blindness then, to follow you and commit these sins!"
Mrs. Ying Sr.’s old face turned beet red.
Clearly stabbed in the heart, she became furious.
"I thought Lin Suxin was no good before, now I see you’re the jinx! Ruining a perfectly good family!"
"Yeah, I’m the jinx, blame me, but you’re all good people?"
Shen Yueli’s smile quickly vanished, her face twisting sharply.
"Good people blame their own faults on their daughter-in-law? Good people drive their daughter-in-law to poison herself? Good people drive their son to frame their grandson?"
"Shut up! You—you—you! Shut up!!"
Mrs. Ying Sr. jumped in fury, pounding her cane.
Her chest heaving furiously, her old face turning red then white, then purple—finally a shade of eggplant.
Slosh, slosh!
In a rage, Mrs. Ying Sr. vomited blood profusely.
Then, turning pale, she directly spewed blood and collapsed into unconsciousness!
"Old Dowager!"
"Grandma!"
"Aunt!"
The sudden change threw everyone into chaos.
The members of the Ying and Shen families were all in a panic, rushing forward to support Mrs. Ying Sr.
"This, this... sigh."
Seeing this, Mr. Xia Sr. and Yu, who were watching coldly from the sidelines, couldn’t help but shake their heads and sigh.
"With such a crazy woman involved, the Ying family is bound to be finished."
Nie Feng cursed and swore with much disdain.
"They deserve it, it’s their own doing, their own suffering."
Lin Fan looked on expressionlessly, his eyes cold.
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, usually colluding with each other, now turning against each other like dogs biting dogs?
Good, truly good.
Let them bite each other, may they end up with nothing but fur in their mouths!
"Hahaha, this is called retribution! Why must all the blame be put on my head, Shen Yueli?"
Shen Yueli stood in place, clapping and laughing with glee, her eyes full of schadenfreude.
"Sister, please, I beg you, can you stop talking? You... ah, sister, your face, you should look at your face!"
Shen Qingqiu turned, his face filled with despair as he pleaded with Shen Yueli.
But the next moment, his eye twitched.
Unable to hold back, he pointed at Shen Yueli’s cheek, shouting in shocked disbelief!
"What’s wrong with my face, hmph, it’s just a little swollen, right?"
Shen Yueli paused, feeling a vague unease creeping into her heart at his words.
Quickly, she pulled out her phone and opened the front camera for a selfie.
She was stunned.
On the screen, her familiar, beautiful face now had half of it swollen and blackened, gradually showing faint purple pits!
At a rough glance, it looked just like a moldy, spoiled cream cake!
"Ah... ahhh!!"
Shen Yueli screamed in despair, nearly shattering her phone’s screen with her grip!
It should be noted that what she prided herself on in this life.
Apart from her family background, was her stunning appearance and devilish figure!
But now, half of her face was poisoned, seemingly about to be disfigured!
"It was you, you poisoned me, didn’t you?"
Suddenly looking up, Shen Yueli glared fiercely at Wu Miaomiao, who was standing in a distant corner, and questioned sharply.
She thought of the dagger from earlier, with its poisoned purple blade!
"Hehe, this is called retribution!"
Wu Miaomiao paused blankly for a moment, then mimicked Shen Yueli’s earlier gestures, clapping and laughing with schadenfreude.
"It’s you, it was your doing!"
Shen Yueli was nearly driven mad, trembling as she pointed at Wu Miaomiao, her whole body quaking.
"How can you blame me? Though the stuff was mine, it’s your own fault for pretending to cut your own throat!"
Wu Miaomiao crossed her arms, leisurely chewing gum and rolling her eyes dramatically.
"When you brought the poisoned blade so close, the skin on your face must have absorbed the minute toxic gases emitting from it."
"Then, when you got slapped, your nose and mouth bled, and the toxins entered your body through the broken skin... but don’t worry, the amount you absorbed is too weak to kill you."
She shook her head ruefully: "At most, half your face will rot away, completely ruining your appearance."
Wh-what?
Half her face rotting, completely disfigured?
Wouldn’t that ruin her entire future!
Boom!
Shen Yueli’s pupils quaked in disbelief at her ears’ betrayal.
"Ah... ahhh!!"
The itching pain on her face intensified, causing her to stagger back, clutching her head and screaming miserably!
In this moment, Shen Yueli regretted it so much that she felt her guts twist, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
She wished she could slap her face senseless!
If she had known the cost of pretending to slit her throat in apology was this high.
She wouldn’t have dared to fake it!
"Save me, Lin Fan, please save me!"
"You’re so skilled in medicine, you even saved Wang Yang from near death, surely you can save my face, right?"
Thud!
The pain on her cheeks intensified gradually.
Yellow, stinking pus dripped off her chin incessantly.
Shen Yueli couldn’t care about anything else, crawling on her knees toward Lin Fan, crying and begging for help!
