Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 703: Chapter 703: You Bastard, I Want a Divorce

The police didn’t intend to make things difficult for him either. After all, Gong Father had indeed been involved in some shady dealings over the years, and they were worried he might tip off his family and cause further trouble.

Gong Mother was extremely panicked, yet she still stood in front of her husband and said to the police officers, "Comrades of the police, although the law is emotionless, today is my daughter’s wedding day. I plead with you to show mercy and let him, as the father, attend the wedding."

One of the officers looked impatient: "Is there any part of the wedding left where Comrade Gong’s presence is absolutely necessary?"

Gong Mother was momentarily stunned by the question. After all, all the ceremony processes had been completed, and now the banquet had already started. There really was nothing left that required her husband to be present.

Seeing that she couldn’t say anything, the officer waved his hand: "Take him away."

As Gong Father was taken away by the police, the scene erupted in an uproar, with everyone gossiping loudly.

Zhang Xiaolu, seeing the situation, could only imagine her feelings. She wanted to follow and get some answers, but she had to clean up the mess at hand. After all, her own husband was never concerned about the family, being someone who never worried about anything.

Moreover, he had opposed her decision from the beginning and even had a quarrel with her for forcing their son to get married.

It seemed that the Gong Family’s issue wasn’t minor. She was someone who valued reputation and certainly couldn’t let the costly wedding banquet go to waste, so she stepped onto the stage and said, "Everyone, there’s been a slight hiccup, but our wedding banquet will continue. Please enjoy the food and drink."

However, her smile was just too fake.

Out of consideration for face, no one said anything more.

After all, they’d given the wedding gift money, and since the banquet was continuing, there was no reason not to eat.

The arrival of several meat dishes made everyone’s eyes widen, and they started pouring out compliments, which made Zhang Xiaolu feel a bit better.

But just as she finished calming the guests, Gong Fangyue, who was in the back changing clothes, started causing a scene: "What’s your mother’s deal? My dad’s in trouble, and she’s acting like nothing happened."

Du Shujian, who was forced into agreeing to the marriage, said expressionlessly, "If you want her to save your dad, you have to see if she has the capability. Clearly, she doesn’t. All she can do is try to save face."

Gong Fangyue was furious upon hearing Du Shujian’s words: "Du Shujian, you’re shameless!"

Du Shujian laughed coldly, "I’m shameless because you forced me to be. Now that your dad’s been taken away, whether he can come out is uncertain. So stop putting on your high-and-mighty act in front of me."

Gong Fangyue was so angry that her hands trembled: "Du Shujian, you bastard, I want a divorce!"

Du Shujian halted his departing steps: "You’ve ruined my life, and now you want a divorce? Dream on."

After speaking, he turned and walked back to the wedding banquet without looking back.

As he left, two people, who were initially just there to wash their hands but stopped to eavesdrop after hearing the commotion, gleamed with excitement and hurried back to their seats.

By then, the main dishes had been cleaned off, and everyone was waiting for the final soup. The two couldn’t wait to spread what they’d just heard.

Before the wedding banquet ended, the conversation between the newlyweds, Du Shujian and Gong Fangyue, had become known to everyone.

As soon as Zhang Xiaolu got home, she changed her clothes and went out to inquire about the Gong Family’s situation. After all, if the Gong Family really got into big trouble, her previous scheming would become a joke, and she would have also ruined her son’s marriage.
