Divorce Only Makes a Son-in-Law Stronger-Chapter 86, Must Remarry!

Not long after, Lin Fan and his retinue returned to the small alley in Southern City. Upon entering the clinic, Master Feng looked around and urged, "Young Master, this place is too shabby. Shall we find another place to stay?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Lin Fan shook his head. "This was left to me by my mom, and it’s my property now. If you think the conditions here are too poor, feel free to find somewhere else to stay."

"This... Since the Young Master is here, your subordinate will naturally accompany you." Master Feng’s imposing frame shuddered, and he quickly smiled sheepishly while shaking his head.

"I’ll go buy some bedding to make a pallet for Master Feng on the floor." Yuan Ruohai’s eyes lit up, and he immediately turned and left.

Since I’ve already decided to pledge my loyalty to Lin Fan, I must curry favor with the second-in-command of the Human Tower. With Master Feng looking out for me in the future, it’ll be like having an extra protective amulet!

"Lin Fan... ah, no, no, Young Master, I’d like to go back to the Su Family to pack some things, hehe," Stubborn Su Gang requested awkwardly, rubbing his hands together.

"I’m not stopping you. Go if you want, just don’t leak anything about what happened tonight," Lin Fan glanced at him and nodded.

This degenerate gambler has poor character and isn’t really suitable for my service. I’m only reluctantly keeping him around for Xiao Jie’s sake.

"Good, good! I’ll hurry back. I definitely won’t let anything slip, hehe." Overjoyed, Stubborn Su Gang nodded frantically as he scurried out the door.

He took out his phone and dialed Su Mengqing’s number. After learning where everyone was, Stubborn Su Gang hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Su Family’s villa in the eastern part of the city.

Over five hundred million, gone. My status as Lin Fan’s father-in-law, gone too! It’s all because of Su Mengqing’s stupidity! The more Stubborn Su Gang thought about it, the angrier and more indignant he became. Why should I let a golden goose like Lin Fan go? If we just latch onto such a powerful figure, can’t we live a life of luxury forever? Remarry! He must get Su Mengqing and Lin Fan to remarry! Even if she can’t compete with the Princess of Sha Country or Yuan Youwei, being Lin Fan’s lesser wife would be acceptable!

After a while, the taxi stopped in front of the Su Family villa. Stubborn Su Gang slammed the door and got out.

"Hey! You haven’t paid yet!" the driver yelled.

"Just wait! I’ll have someone bring the money out!" Stubborn Su Gang retorted without looking back.

"Uncle, why are you back?" a young man called out in surprise from inside the doorway, rubbing his eyes.

"Ah, it’s Su Hua. You’ve grown so much," Stubborn Su Gang said with a nod to his nephew. "Go and pay the taxi fare for your uncle. I only have large bills on me and haven’t set up mobile payments, so I’m afraid the driver won’t have change."

"Oh, okay! I’ll go right away." Su Hua was momentarily stunned, then quickly scurried toward the taxi.

Stubborn Su Gang looked away and pushed open the door to the living room. Inside, the lights were blazing, and the room was packed with the Su family’s relatives and friends. A buffet of cold cuts and cooked dishes was laid out on tables. The air was filled with joyous laughter and conversation; it was incredibly lively.

As Stubborn Su Gang entered, the atmosphere in the living room reached a fever pitch. Everyone surged forward, surrounding him like stars around the moon, all chattering excitedly.

"Old Su is back!"

"Dad, weren’t you with the Prince at the hotel?"

"You’re back just in time, Old Su! Tell us more about the Prince!"

"Mm, mm, just hold on a minute." His stomach was already growling with hunger, and he couldn’t care less about anyone else. He stood before the buffet table and began wolfing down food, stuffing his mouth full.

Seeing this, Su Mengqing’s smile stiffened slightly as she exchanged glances with Zhang Meili and the others. Those table manners are hardly what you’d expect from someone staying in a presidential suite.

"How touching! Uncle Su must have been running himself ragged for the Prince to be this exhausted!" Yang Tingting’s eyes darted about as she immediately clasped her hands to her heart, praising him with exaggerated sincerity.

"Right, right, Old Su has worked so hard. He’s lost so much weight!"

"Indeed. He used to be so fair-skinned. Now he’s as thin as a monkey."

"Old Su is really impressive, quietly building connections with the Sha Country Royal Family... Mengqing, that divorce of yours was a good move!"

Some shook their heads with emotion, while others looked on with concern. A few even gave Su Mengqing a big thumbs-up.

"Lin Fan is nothing! So what if he latched onto the Yuan family’s thick thighs?"

"Once your father gets familiar with the Sha Country Royal Family, have him introduce you to a prince for a husband!"

At these words, the eyes of Zhang Meili and Su Gang lit up, their smiles so wide they were nearly crooked. Yang Tingting’s eyes, meanwhile, burned with envy and fervor.

"Third Aunt, please don’t joke with me. How could I be worthy of a member of the Sha Country Royal Family?" Su Mengqing’s cheeks flushed as she demurely shook her head. However, anyone with sharp eyes could see the faint glimmer of hope and joy deep within her own eyes.

"Who says you’re not worthy? You’re the new pharmaceutical queen of Haicheng! In just four years, you turned the nearly bankrupt Su Pharmaceutical into a powerhouse!" the plump woman known as Third Aunt said, her eyes bulging in feigned anger. "In my opinion, you’re more than a match for any of those regular princes from Sha Country!"

"Isn’t that the truth! Even Chen Biao, before Lin Fan killed him, was still pining for Mengqing!" Zhang Meili chimed in, overjoyed and nodding vigorously. "He was the notorious underworld prince of Haicheng! As he was dying, he struggled to write the name ’Su Mengqing’! It’s a tragedy the poor boy didn’t have the strength to finish, alas!"

"...I can attest to that!" After a momentary daze, Su Gang came to his senses and declared loudly, pounding his chest. "I saw with my own eyes how Mr. Chen Biao desperately protected my sister, refusing to let Lin Fan touch a single hair on her head!"

"I can also vouch for it! That night at the birthday party for Mr. Chen Biao’s beloved dog, Director Su was the center of attention. His eyes never left her for a moment!" Yang Tingting declared with immense pride, lifting her pointed chin and scanning the room.

The three of them used the deceased Chen Biao as a stepping stone to lavish praise upon Su Mengqing, leaving the crowd stunned and murmuring in admiration.

Su Mengqing’s cheeks burned, but she managed to maintain a reserved smile. "Mom, please stop. It’s all in the past... Anyway, I have nothing to do with Lin Fan anymore. Even if he came begging me to remarry him, I would never yield!"

After all, Chen Biao is dead. Who could possibly expose these lies? Besides, their words were truly pleasing to hear. She had already secretly raised her standards for her next husband to a member of the Sha Country Royal Family.

"As for my future personal affairs, I haven’t quite decided yet."

Suppressing the bashfulness in her heart, Su Mengqing stood tall and proud, basking in the crowd’s admiration and attention.

The next moment, having eaten and drunk his fill, Stubborn Su Gang let out a satisfied belch and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. He turned, his expression growing solemn. In a tone that allowed no argument, he commanded, "Mengqing, you can’t stay divorced from Lin Fan! You must go and beg him to remarry you!"

The noisy hall fell into a dead silence. Everyone was stunned, looking at each other in bewilderment. What was going on? Had Stubborn Su Gang gone mad, telling Su Mengqing to go beg Lin Fan to remarry her?

"Old Su, what nonsense are you spouting? Given Mengqing’s current status, why would she ever need to remarry him?" Zhang Meili’s smile froze. She bit back her anger and asked in a low voice.

"Dad, how is someone like Lin Fan worthy of my sister’s hand? Don’t you want to be the father-in-law of a member of the Sha Country Royal Family?" Su Gang grew anxious and shouted. He had his own little scheme; if his sister married into the royal family, wouldn’t that mean he could be worthy of a princess or someone similar?

"I think you’re the ones talking nonsense and lost in your delusions!" Stubborn Su Gang stared blankly for a moment, his face turning green. Good grief, they still dare to have ideas about the Sha Country Royal Family? Even if I wanted to, would I have the damn ability to make it happen? And with you lot? You bunch of good-for-nothings who chased away a man like Lin Fan? You’re completely blind! All you do is daydream about impossible things!

RUSTLE!

"Su Mengqing, if you can’t remarry Lin Fan, then don’t you dare call me your father!" Stubborn Su Gang pulled out a red plastic bag, shook it open, and began packing food from the buffet. This was a special move he had learned while wandering abroad, always targeting the leftovers at restaurants. If he was lucky, one full bag could last several meals!

"Remember, you must remarry him. Otherwise, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life."

Under the dumbfounded gazes of the entire room, Stubborn Su Gang lifted the brimming red plastic bag and walked away without a single glance back.

"If all else fails, go beg Lin Fan to take you as his lesser wife!"
