Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 1853: Chapter 1851: What Agreement Did You Reach With the Sinan Family?

Father Luo felt a bit embarrassed as he looked up. He was aware of the events in the banquet hall and disagreed with the marriage to the Gu Family. Since Luo Fan was the future head of the family, if he settled in the country, they wouldn’t benefit at all.

But they didn’t want to return either, so they could only find a way to bring their son back.

Their most favored daughter-in-law candidate was Sinan. For this, he had already privately reached an agreement with Sinan’s father, waiting only for the marriage with the Gu Family to be disrupted, so they could take Luo Fan abroad.

However, he didn’t expect such a strong reaction from his parents, with both of them ending up in the hospital. This made things much more complicated. He glanced resentfully at his wife beside him, a simple matter unnecessarily complicated by her.

He spoke in a low voice, "I really don’t agree with Luo Fan marrying a daughter from the Gu Family, but I didn’t say anything. I don’t know anything about the family’s affairs either. It’s been five years since my mom and Zhang Shuzhi have met, a sudden meeting leading to some friction is quite normal."

Grandma Luo didn’t care about those things; her face was gloomy as she stood up and walked to Father Luo, slapping him. Instantly, a red mark of five fingertips appeared on Father Luo’s fair cheek.

Grandma Luo, with trembling fingers, pointed at him and cursed, "You unfilial thing, is it only when I’m dead that things matter to you? Look at this troublemaker you married into the family, and yet you don’t even listen to what she said to me today, but just shifted all the blame on me. Are you even human?"

"...Mom, I’m this old and you’re still hitting me?" Father Luo stood up in anger.

Elder Luo said sinisterly, "Yes, the older you get, the worse you become. If beating you doesn’t work, then we might have to discard you. Now sit down and tell me, what agreement did you reach with Sinan’s family? What benefits did they give you?"

As soon as this was said, Sinan’s face changed dramatically. She clenched her hands, shifted uneasily, but lowered her head without speaking.

Luo Fan, who was exceptionally intelligent, quickly figured out some things but still couldn’t understand many others.

What puzzled him the most was why his mother was acting so arrogantly this time upon returning.

He carefully recalled the bits and pieces over the years, and the more he thought, the more his brow furrowed.

Previously, he didn’t care much, because he grew up alongside his grandpa, studied abroad, and returned home with his grandpa after completing his education. As for his parents, it was mainly holiday greetings and occasional meetings.

He realized that he seemed to not understand his parents at all.

Thinking about this, Luo Fan broke out in a cold sweat.

Because the first thought that occurred to him was whether his parents were doing this for some unspeakable purpose.

Or maybe they were totally unaware and being used by someone else.

He glanced at Sinan, having little impression of her; the two families lived quite close, and she often sought him out to play when they were young.

But back then, his studies were heavy, and he didn’t bother with her, naturally leaving little impression. During college, they studied together; he knew she admired him, but he didn’t like her, so he kept his distance and never led her on.

So, what role did this woman play in all of this?

At this point, the spacious and luxurious living room suddenly quieted down.

Elder Luo’s sharp gaze bore into his eldest son, Luo Zixuan.

The eldest son, lacking in learning but overly ambitious, belonged to the category of those aiming high but achieving low.

Such a person was only suitable for living a wealthy life, enjoying food and drink, but he was always discontent, believing himself to be more important than heaven and earth, and even thinking he was better than Luo Fan, his son.

The family business was passed to Luo Fan, and both his younger brothers were wholeheartedly on board, but his own father was dissatisfied. Elder Luo didn’t know what was in his eldest son’s mind; he really wanted to crack open his skull to see if it was filled with pig brains.

But considering he is his eldest son and also Luo Fan’s birth father, Elder Luo gave him a company. Since he didn’t want to return to the country, he stayed abroad.

Out of sight, out of mind.

As for the Gu Family, Elder Luo didn’t initially consider an alliance because the suitable match was only Gu Qiaoqiao. But who would have thought this grandson of his, much like a wolf, had already claimed the little bride for himself.

He was naturally happy to see this happen.

Truth be told, he never took his eldest son and daughter-in-law’s opinions seriously; they were the kind who were more likely to mess things up than to succeed.

But now, as wedding preparations were underway, meeting the in-laws became necessary to avoid disrespect toward the Gu Family. So, he had called them to return promptly.

Yet, they gave all sorts of excuses, and Luo Fan himself had to bring them back, as there was no way around it; after all, Luo Fan had living parents, and they had to be present at his wedding.

The wedding was his priority, and he intended to send those two away quickly afterward.

To be honest, the Luo Family had never produced such disappointing descendants before.

The eldest son was always like this, hoping marriage would improve things, but the wife he married was no better, both equally obnoxious over the years, while all other children were fine, so he exiled them to a city abroad, rarely allowing them contact with the rest of the Luo Family, seeking peace by avoiding visual reminders.

But Luo Fan was a promising child, and Elder Luo wouldn’t let him be ruined, so he was raised by his side.

Fortunately, Luo Fan didn’t inherit any negative traits from those two. Elder Luo was very satisfied, both with the marriage and with the Gu Family, who were saviors to him. Without Gu Qiaoqiao, he’d be long dead by now, certainly not sitting on the couch reprimanding wayward descendants.

Moreover, because of Gu Qiaoqiao, he felt rejuvenated in old age.

Despite this, he wanted to retire. After Luo Fan’s marriage and establishing himself, he would hand over everything to him in a couple of years, believing the Luo family business would thrive under Luo Fan’s management. It was a straightforward matter made unnecessarily complex.

Though disappointed in those two, some issues needed clarifying, providing an account to the Gu Family.

When questioned by Elder Luo, Luo Zixuan’s eyes flickered, and he slumped back on the sofa without speaking.

Sinan stood up and said softly, "This is a matter of the Luo Family; perhaps I’m not really suitable to be involved."

Grandma Luo sneered, "Do you really have that self-awareness?"
