After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Ding Ding quietly tugged at Zhao Mengmeng, and the two of them slipped into Zhao Mengmeng's bedroom, not wanting to be a third wheel.

Outside, Lin Mengchuan parked his car on the side of the road in Zhao Mengmeng's residential area.

Looking out the car window toward Zhao Mengmeng's building, he wanted to get out and apologize to Qiao Ran several times, but he couldn't bring himself to take the step.

He was extremely annoyed and regretted going to see Qiao Ran's mother.

He originally wanted his mother-in-law to persuade Qiao Ran not to get a divorce, but he didn't expect that Song Yuhe was so ruthless that she actually hit her own daughter in front of him.

This slap hurt even more than if it had hit Lin Mengchuan's face.

He couldn't understand why Song Yuhe not only didn't blame him, but instead blamed Qiao Ran, when he was the one who did wrong.

Lin Mengchuan now understands that it must have been Song Yuhe who pressured Qiao Ran into marrying him back then.

Thinking about all this, Lin Mengchuan suddenly realized that he had misunderstood Qiao Ran for two years.

He always believed that Qiao Ran was a vain woman who married him only because she coveted his family's wealth.

Because of this guilt, he was even more unwilling to let go, and he wanted to have a serious talk with Qiao Ran.

Lin Mengchuan reached out and pulled the car door open. Suddenly, his phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was his mother, Shen Qingzhu. He had no choice but to answer, "Mom, I'm busy with something outside. Tell me what's wrong quickly."

Shen Qingzhu called out in a low voice, "Lin Fei's parents are here. Come back quickly. Also, you'd better be prepared, because they are scoundrels. I have never seen such scoundrels before!"

Lin Mengchuan frowned. "I know, I'll be right back."

As Lin Mengchuan stepped into the house, he heard a woman shouting, "Your son got my daughter pregnant, so he has to take responsibility. I don't care if he's married or single."

"Anyway, he has to divorce Qiao Ran as soon as possible, then get a marriage certificate with my daughter, and the wedding has to be held as soon as possible. I don't want my daughter to have a wedding while she's heavily pregnant. Where would we, as a couple, put our faces then?"

"As for the bride price, a token amount is fine, around 20 to 30 million will suffice. In addition, give us a villa in the suburbs where we can retire. It would be best if you could also buy my husband a new car."

Lin Fei caught sight of Lin Mengchuan and rushed over. "Mengchuan, you're back! Dad, Mom, this is Mengchuan. Mengchuan, these are my parents. They heard we were back and came to see us."

The woman who had just spoken was Lin Fei's mother, Cai Lianfang. At this moment, she squinted and scrutinized Lin Mengchuan. "Our Fei Fei certainly has good taste. She went abroad for you and spent all of my and her father's savings."

“If you don’t treat her well, we won’t let you off the hook.”

Shen Qingzhu's face flushed with anger, and she retorted indignantly, "It wasn't my Meng Chuan who sent Lin Fei, so how can you blame my son for this?"

Cai Lianfang looked directly at Shen Qingzhu and asked in return, "If your son didn't go abroad, would my Feifei have run away?"

Shen Qingzhu was speechless for a moment: "..."

Lin Mengchuan glanced at Lin Fei, then looked at Cai Lianfang and said coldly, "I will not marry Lin Fei. I hope she can abort the child in her belly as soon as possible. I will give you compensation."

Lin Dahai looked at his wife, Cai Lianfang, clearly not expecting Lin Mengchuan to say that. He questioned Lin Fei in a low voice, "Feifei, what exactly happened? Didn't you say he promised to take responsibility?"

Cai Lianfang glanced at her daughter and, seeing Lin Fei's pale face, quickly understood why her daughter had called them here. She cleared her throat, smiled at Lin Mengchuan, and said, "So you're turning your back on me now that you've pulled up your pants?"

Lin Mengchuan blushed. "Auntie, how can you say such vulgar things?"

Cai Lianfang: "That's right, I am vulgar, but I won't be like you rich people who say one thing to your face and another behind your back. If you're still a man, take responsibility for this."

Lin Mengchuan: "I said I would compensate you with 30 million yuan. I will give you 30 million yuan to make Lin Fei abort the child. From now on, she is her and I am me. We will have nothing to do with each other."

“I object,” Cai Lianfang chimed in. “This isn’t up to you; it’s up to us. Let me tell you, if you don’t marry Feifei, my husband and I will sit in front of your company every day.”

"Let's put up another banner: Lin Mengchuan got my daughter pregnant but then turned his back on me."

Shen Qingzhu was utterly shocked. "How could you be so shameless!"

Cai Lianfang sneered, "We are just scoundrels. Anyway, poor people like us only have a worthless life, so we are not afraid of anything."

Lin Mengchuan turned to Lin Fei and questioned, "Lin Fei, if your parents dare to do that, don't blame me for being impolite."

Lin Fei paused for a moment, then raised her eyes to look directly at Lin Mengchuan. Her expression turned fierce, and her voice became cold. "Lin Mengchuan, my parents did nothing wrong. They were doing it for my own good. You're the one who's shameless."

"When we were abroad, you were the one who told me you would take responsibility for me, but as soon as we returned to China and you saw Qiao Ran, you immediately changed your mind. Lin Mengchuan, could it be that you've fallen in love with Qiao Ran?"

Seeing that Lin Fei seemed like a completely different person, Lin Mengchuan couldn't help but panic. "Lin Fei, is this the real you? I didn't expect you to be such a good actor. You've been pretending to be weak for so long. You must have worked so hard."

Lin Fei said expressionlessly, "You forced me to do this. If you had properly divorced Qiao Ran and married me, I could still play the role of a gentle and virtuous wife for you."

"Meng Chuan, we can't agree to her!" Shen Qingzhu shouted from the side. "This woman is too terrible. She's full of lies and her heart is as venomous as a snake. If we let her into our family, we'll never have a good life again!"

Lin Fei suddenly turned to look at Shen Qingzhu, a sarcastic smile playing on her lips. "Auntie, didn't you look down on Qiao Ran? Didn't you support Meng Chuan's divorce from Qiao Ran? Didn't you want a grandson?"

Shen Qingzhu: "That's because I didn't know you were such a vicious woman!"

Lin Fei threw her head back and laughed heartily, "Auntie, how do you think you are any better than me? I see you agonizing over this all day long, it must be exhausting. You want a daughter-in-law who is your equal, but you also want the baby in my belly."

"Actually, someone like you would never be satisfied no matter who your daughter-in-law is."

Shen Qingzhu glared at Lin Fei with shame and indignation, and roared the next second, "I would rather have Qiao Ran than a woman like you as my daughter-in-law! Lin Fei, don't even think about marrying into our family!"

Lin Fei raised an eyebrow and gave his mother a wink.

Cai Lianfang stood up and said, "Okay, then we'll go back and make banners. We'll definitely get to your company's entrance tomorrow morning before you start work and put up banners for a sit-in."

"Feifei, let's go. You go back to your parents first. Lin Mengchuan, when you've thought it through, come to my house and invite Feifei back."

Lin Fei didn't want to go home with his parents. His family lived in a rented house that was not only dilapidated but also frequently had water and power outages.

Two years ago, in order to support their daughter Lin Fei to go abroad, Lin Dahai and Cai Lianfang took out all the savings they had originally intended to use to buy a house.

Lin Fei has already squandered all that money.

Neither Lin Dahai nor Cai Lianfang has a stable job. Currently, one works as a security guard at a kindergarten, and the other does odd jobs at a supermarket.
