The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 257: Chapter 257 Guest

She can go to the mall by herself anytime, but not now. If you don’t take Tang Qiulu with you, how can she show off?

Sun Wan had her eye on many things before but intentionally didn’t let Zhou Haiwen buy them. She was waiting for this moment.

“Qiulu, it’s not easy to convince you to join me for shopping. You won’t disappoint me, right? We can go to the countryside tomorrow.” Sun Wan said somewhat unhappily.

Zhou Haiwen chimed in from the side, “Let’s wait until tomorrow. Your Sister Wan is happy now. If there’s something you want to buy, but Su Changfeng can’t afford it, I can buy it for you.”

“Let’s go, we must go, Qiulu, we’ll head back to the countryside tomorrow.” Sun Mei listened to Zhou Haiwen, and her anger flared up. Sun Wan and Zhou were looking down on Tang Qiulu, which was like looking down on her, and Sun Mei wouldn’t just swallow it.

Tang Qiulu glanced at Mei in complaint, trying hard to avoid this, but who would have thought Sun Mei would directly throw her into the fire pit.

“Aunt Mei is right, let’s all go together, don’t be such a downer.” Sun Wan said.

Tang Qiulu sighed helplessly. She could only agree now.

While having lunch, Sun Wan’s parents finally returned. Naturally, they would brag in front of Sun Mei, talking about where they went and what they bought, hinting at how much they spent and how well Zhou Haiwen treated them.

“Ah, it’s truly reassuring to see Sun Wan with someone like Zhou Haiwen. Zhou is so outstanding that in the future, her father and I won’t have to worry about how Sun Wan is doing.” Xu Fang said with some emotion, then took Sun Mei’s hand.

“You’ve had it tough, marrying into the Tang Family for half your life and never becoming a wealthy lady. Everyone used to think you were the happiest in our family.”

Hearing Xu Fang’s words, Sun Mei felt uncomfortable. She hadn’t heard such sarcastic remarks from Xu Fang before.

“Sister, I’m doing particularly well recently, no need to worry.” Sun Mei said.

Xu Fang glanced at Su Changfeng, “What’s good about it? We’re all family, no need to pretend. Su Changfeng has been in the Tang Family for so long with no achievements and no contributions. Don’t you think I can see how you’re doing?”

Sun Wan’s father, Sun Chao, coldly said, “In my view, you should leave Su Changfeng in Bin County this time. Let him learn from Zhou Haiwen. He should at least make something of himself and not be a failure all his life.”

“Chang Feng is not a failure, Uncle, you shouldn’t say that.” Tang Qiulu said somewhat displeased.

Sun Chao was quite fond of Tang Qiulu, after all, she was his niece. But everyone knew Su Changfeng was a pathetic figure, and even if Tang Qiulu spoke for him, it wouldn’t help.

“Are you still defending him? This pathetic man, you should just scold him harshly so he’ll wake up and realize what he should do!” Sun Chao said disdainfully.

These debates slowly ceased during the meal. Seeing Su Changfeng being criticized and constantly compared to Zhou Haiwen, Sun Wan felt particularly pleased. This was what she wanted, to highlight how outstanding Zhou Haiwen was by belittling Su Changfeng. Only then would Sun Wan feel she could be satisfied in front of Tang Qiulu.

After lunch, Sun Chao and Xu Fang, being the hosts, had no intention of helping to clear the table. They just sat on the sofa, not moving, and stared directly at Su Changfeng.

Tang Zhenhua rarely spoke when he was at the Sun family, because he was also looked down upon by them. In the past, they thought that with Sun Mei marrying into the Tang Family, the Sun family could bask in that glow.

But in fact, Tang Zhenhua had no status in the Tang Family, and he wasn’t doing well, so how could he help the Sun family? Thus, from that time on, Tang Zhenhua’s status in the Sun family was very low.

“Su Changfeng, what are you standing there for? You often do this kind of thing at home, so why not take the initiative now.” Sun Chao complained.

Tang Qiulu felt a bit angry. As the saying goes, guests are guests; Su Changfeng was a guest at their house. Why should he be asked to do such things?

Tang Qiulu was about to speak when Su Changfeng stood up with a smile on his face and said, “It’s okay.”

“Let me help you,” Tang Qiulu said with a helpless expression.

Sun Chao couldn’t stand seeing Su Changfeng living off others and yelled at Tang Qiulu, “Qiulu, you should just sit still. How can you do such work? After all, you are supporting him now. Can’t he do even these little things?”

Sun Mei really couldn’t hold it in anymore and spoke up, “Brother, guests are guests, you…”

But before Sun Mei could finish, Sun Chao interrupted her, “You three are certainly my guests, but Su Changfeng is not necessary. I despise such people.”

Su Changfeng didn’t complain at all. He often did this at home and didn’t mind, saying, “Mom, why don’t you sit nicely? I can handle this.”

“At least you know your place.”

After clearing up the dishes, they took a break and then went out, planning to visit the mall.

When Sun Chao saw the Tang Family’s car was an Audi A6, he was a bit surprised. Previously, this family drove a lousy car, and now they had an Audi. It seemed Tang Qiulu’s new position indeed helped her earn quite a lot of money.

But in Sun Chao’s eyes, it was still not as good as Zhou Haiwen because Zhou Haiwen was a boss, while Tang Qiulu only worked for the Tang Family.

The most crucial point was that Su Changfeng was a failure and couldn’t compare to Zhou Haiwen.

The newly opened mall was particularly bustling, even though it wasn’t a weekend. Various brand stores were there, and even some luxury stores opened.

Building such a shopping center in a small place like Bin County wasn’t easy, and it was incredibly difficult to introduce these luxury brands.

“The owner of this mall is Chen Hai, a friend of Zhou Haiwen. Without Chen Hai, how could Bin County have such a mall?” Sun Wan mentioned the mall’s owner and stressed that he was Zhou Haiwen’s friend, blatantly showing off.

Su Changfeng had a bitter smile. Could being Chen Hai’s friend make this family so accomplished?

But this mall was truly remarkable because many luxury brands wouldn’t bother entering such a small county. For Chen Hai to attract these brands, his ability was unquestionable.

Sun Wan led them to an LV store. She had an eye on a bag there before and had waited until now to buy it, just to show off in front of Tang Qiulu and let her know how lavish her current life was.
