Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Serves Him Right
Su Wan: "I always feel Su Ni isn’t a good match for Cecilia. It was Cecilia who asked for a divorce, right?"
Lin Ranyue nodded.
She sighed lightly, "Xiaoni is now a top actor in the entertainment industry, swarmed by countless young girls who boldly pursue him. Ever since they had a disagreement over whether to have children or not, they’ve been somewhat at odds over the years. Then, not long ago, someone photographed Xiaoni having a late-night meeting with a little star who came from a talent show, and I heard that person is also a Charm Beast of the fox clan, a Beastman."
A Beastman’s physical abilities are often much superior to those of purebred humans.
But some Beastmen, such as those from the Charm Beast or Mermaid Clans, might not like to be Interstellar Warriors or go to war.
They prefer to use their beauty to make a mark in the entertainment industry.
Su Wan raised an eyebrow, "Does Su Ni really have something going on with that Charm Beast?"
Lin Ranyue worriedly said, "I specifically asked Xiaoni about it. He said that it was a wrap party for the show, with a lot of people together. He didn’t have anything going on with that little star, it was just a shot taken out of context, but he didn’t clarify because he hoped to make Cecilia jealous. As a result..."
Su Wan: "..."
Hasn’t Su Ni matured at all after all these years?
She scoffed, "If Cecilia were that easily jealous, she would’ve never let Su Ni enter the entertainment industry in the first place. Su Ni is really foolish. Even if he still loves Cecilia, isn’t this just pushing her further away?"
Lin Ranyue: "Indeed."
How did she manage to raise such a foolish child?
Just then, Lin Ranyue’s light-brain device rang, and she looked down.
Tsk, her foolish son was calling her.
Lin Ranyue: "It’s Xiaoni."
Su Wan quietly continued eating her fruit, not offering any opinion.
Meanwhile, Lin Ranyue answered the call, and Su Ni’s voice on the other end sounded very downhearted.
He said, "Mom, help me out. Cecilia is ignoring me. She wants to divorce me..."
Lin Ranyue didn’t care for that, and bluntly said, "It serves you right!"
No matter if he was a popular actor or a top superstar, to her, he was her own son!
And she would say what needed to be said!
Lin Ranyue: "Don’t you have your little star now? Cecilia divorcing you should make you happy. Turn around and there will be a bunch of little stars willing to have ten or eight of your children. That way you won’t hold Cecilia back anymore."
Only Lin Ranyue could scold Su Ni like that.
Su Ni felt even more choked up, but he wouldn’t talk back to his own mother.
He could only skirt around it, saying, "Mom, aren’t you and Cecilia on good terms? You don’t really want us to get a divorce, do you?"
Lin Ranyue: "Yes, I’ve always liked her quite a bit. If you guys get divorced, it’ll be perfect. I can openly take her as my god-sister."
Su Ni was on the verge of spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Knowing his mother would not be of help, he eventually ended the call.
Time to think of another plan.
Su Wan was by the side, cracking melon seeds and fruit, laughing so hard she was trembling.
She gave her mother Lin Ranyue a thumbs up, "Mom, you’re doing it right! Su Ni needs to experience some hardships!"
If Su Ni doesn’t change his ways, doesn’t think things through, and keeps on with his thoughtless foolishness.
Then he shouldn’t hold back Cecilia.
Cecilia isn’t running a charity, nor is she managing a kindergarten.
No wife should have to continually be responsible for educating her husband’s brain.
Lin Ranyue also nodded in agreement.
She said, "Actually, Xiaoyun has gotten much better over the years. Oh right, he’s getting married to Lan Rui. Hopefully, they can have a good life together in the future."
Su Yun had also joined the Royal Star Fleet, but later on, for some reason, he returned to his former position at the Mecha Research Institute.
It was said that it was his own choice to give up.
Su Yun, who had always been completely dedicated and wouldn’t hesitate to use any means to climb up, seemed very worldly.
He was actually willing to immerse himself wholeheartedly in mecha research.
This made Su Wan view him with new respect.
As for Su Yun marrying Lan Rui...
Su Wan, "Life is lived for oneself, it doesn’t matter what others think. Whether they are happy or not is what’s most important, right?"
Lin Ranyue, "Yes, that’s the principle."
On the other hand, seeing his own mother not siding with him, Su Ni had sought help from everyone he could in the circle.
In the end, with no other choice, he turned to his older brother, Su Yun.
Since their father Su Zhen had passed, the brothers often took the time to visit the old mansion to keep Grandfather Su company.
As a result, their brotherly relationship had improved slightly.
However, their relationship with their younger sister, Su Wan, was still the same.
Mildly more familiar than with strangers.
And that was it.
In Su Ni’s words, Xiaowan treated Cecilia’s assistant better than she treated her own brother.
But he had no right to complain.
It was just a bit depressing.
Su Ni got through to his older brother Su Yun’s brain-computer interface.
"Brother, Cecilia wants to divorce me, can you help me out?"
Having just completed the super mech test research, Su Yun walked out of the lab.
He took off his gloves and said speechlessly, "I’m not close with her, what can I help you with?"
Su Ni, "I know, but I have tried everything I can think of. Sadly, she won’t even talk to me now. She’s about to pursue a compulsory divorce, and I... "
Su Ni could bypass this compulsory divorce.
But, if he rejected it once, after some time, once the cooling-off period passed, Cecilia could reapply for it again.
Su Yun was somewhat speechless, "Mom is on better terms with Cecilia, maybe you should ask her for help."
Su Ni, "I’ve tried, but mom said not to hold Cecilia back anymore..."
Su Yun, "..."
Su Ni, "Big brother, help me think of a solution, please, I’m begging you!"
Seeing his brother in such a state, Su Yun hadn’t encountered something so speechless in a long time.
But after a moment of silence, he finally said, "You don’t want to divorce Cecilia, right?"
Su Ni, "Of course! I just wanted to make her jealous..."
Who would have thought it would blow up like this!
Su Yun, "In a couple of days, I’m getting married, and I’ll be going home for a meal. I’ll contact Cecilia in advance to invite her for dinner. When the time comes, you apologize to her face to face. Whether you cry, plead, or whatever, that will be your last chance."
Su Ni was taken aback, "You’re getting married? Not having a wedding but just going back to the old house for a meal?"
"Yeah."
Su Ni was silent for a long time before finally saying, "Big brother, it seems like you’ve changed a lot."
Su Yun chuckled lightly, adjusting his glasses.
Everyone is changing, after all.
After Su Zhen died, Su Yun had reflected a lot. After all, their father had been a notable figure in the Federal Empire.
To end up with such a fate.
Dead, and all so cold and indifferent.
Suddenly Su Yun felt that in his previous pursuit of power, he had pushed those around him far away.
Even his gentle and kind mother had gradually become distant from him.
