Divorce Only Makes a Son-in-Law Stronger-Chapter 291 - 289: To Bear a Son, Let Him Be Like Lin Fan!

Chapter 291: Chapter 289: To Bear a Son, Let Him Be Like Lin Fan!

The night was deep.

Inside and outside the Xia Family Mansion in the Southern City was brightly lit and decorated.

"Hurry, light the firecrackers and fireworks, the hero is back!"

With a screech, a dark green military vehicle stopped outside the mansion gate.

Suddenly, someone shouted out.

All the piled-up firecrackers and fireworks around were immediately set off!

The crackling sound shattered the stillness of the night.

Many nearby neighbors rushed out to watch, making it as lively as New Year.

"Why make it so lively, it’s quite embarrassing..."

Lin Fan got out of the car, his eyes widening in surprise.

He saw Mr. Xia Sr. smiling, leading almost everyone from the mansion to greet him.

He let out a bitter laugh and shook his head.

"My family just produced a national hero, and I can’t be high-profile about it? If anyone’s not convinced, go earn something to boost your own reputation!"

Mr. Xia Sr. said with his hands on his hips, his voice booming with pride.

Clearly, he said this deliberately toward the Chu family across the street.

"Having such capable and accomplished people under Mr. Xia Sr., even us old neighbors share the honor, ha ha."

"Yes, yes, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen such excitement around here!"

"Old Xia, you can’t just end the celebration tonight; your family has to host a few tables to celebrate!"

Old neighbors constantly gathered around, mostly elderly men and women.

They looked simply dressed, but security guards were discreetly protecting them.

"Lin Fan, my son Chu Guoxiong sees you as a big brother, so naturally, our Chu family must show our respects."

A tall, thin elderly man with hands behind his back approached Lin Fan, smiling kindly.

It was none other than the current head of the Chu family, Mr. Chu Sr.!

"Grandpa, you should have seen it today; my brother was so impressive at school. Several girls were flocking around him, even the beautiful teacher from the sports department, Yang Xiuxiu, was kneeling, crying and begging for his forgiveness!"

"Later, a beautiful woman from Sakura Country, who seemed to be the president of the Iguchi Pharmaceutical Group, suddenly stopped our car on the street, questioning why my brother abandoned her back then!"

Fatty Chu, upon hearing the commotion, spoke loudly as if wishing the whole neighborhood could hear.

"Uh..."

As soon as he spoke, Xia Bingbing and others’ smiles froze, casting resentful glances at Lin Fan.

The elderly men and women around merely shook their heads with a smile.

It was expected that a young man with such exceptional talent would attract many admirers.

But someone as bold as Lin Fan was indeed rare...

Initially, many intended to matchmake him with eligible girls from their families, but they temporarily gave up on the idea now.

"...Fatty, having a brother like you truly is my blessing."

Under the unusual gaze of those around him,

Lin Fan shuddered, his face turning green, and heavily patted Fatty Chu’s shoulder.

"Hmph, you keep causing chaos at our school, now those girls are all stirred up, constantly talking about you..."

Fatty Chu gritted his teeth, rubbing his shoulder that was half-numb from the heavy pat, mumbling with dissatisfaction.

"Bring over the catering van, set up a feast in the Xia Family Mansion!"

Seeing this, Mr. Chu Sr.’s smile widened, waving his hand.

Previously, the Chu family deliberately kept their distance from Lin Fan, maintaining a neutral stance.

They even forbade Fatty Chu from getting too close to him.

Now, with the situation settled, and Lin Fan returning triumphantly,

if they couldn’t lower their stance to establish good relations, it would be a continual mistake!

Thus, the Chu family had already booked a seafood restaurant and had the catering van on standby nearby.

Just waiting for Lin Fan to return, ready to personally welcome him!

"Old Chu, do you think my Xia family can’t afford a decent banquet?"

Seeing Mr. Chu Sr. full of cunning, deliberately trying to win over Lin Fan,

Mr. Xia Sr. exchanged glances with Tie Hao, immediately stepping forward with a gentle smile and asking.

"Stealing my Xia family’s spotlight like that isn’t good!"

"Brother Xia, you jest, it was our mistake earlier, we didn’t understand the situation, consider it an apology."

Mr. Chu Sr. remained unfazed, speaking softly, intentionally glancing towards Xia Bingbing.

"Now everyone knows Lin Fan is already your Xia family’s acknowledged grandson-in-law... Let me congratulate you in advance."

"Hmph, acknowledging your mistake is good, but don’t think about targeting Lin Fan."

Mr. Xia Sr. nodded with satisfaction, smiling so broadly his face was crooked.

He quickly, along with the family members, invited the surrounding neighbors in to take their seats.

"Report! This is the national hero plaque for Hero Lin, may I ask where should it be hung?"

Just then,

there was also the sound of firecrackers from the street,

along with the accompaniment of drums and suona music.

Several well-dressed city leaders, along with a warrior carrying a large plaque, approached with wide smiles.

Seeing that the place was full of high-ranking elders,

those city leaders humbly lowered themselves, greeting and socializing politely.

"Carry it inside and hang it right above the main hall in my Xia family!"

Mr. Xia Sr. straightened his back, his face beaming with joy, smiling from ear to ear.

One must admit, the Xia family scored an immense fortune without much effort.

Such an outstanding young man, and the Ying family was blind enough to discard him?

They indeed deserved their step-by-step decline into downfall!

"This is truly sheer luck; just as the Xia family’s prestige seemed to be waning in the Imperial Capital, who knew it would be solidly supported again by Lin Fan."

"No one can envy it, after all, old Xia worked hard and stubbornly protected Lin Fan."
