The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 259: Chapter 259 Chen Hai Steps Forward

Earlier, Sun Mei didn’t believe a word Sun Wan said, and now was the perfect chance to expose them.

“Zhou Haiwen? I’ve never heard of this person,” Chen Hai replied with a smile.

At this moment, Zhou Haiwen hung his head, feeling awful about the whole mess. If it weren’t for Sun Wan’s exaggerations, he wouldn’t be facing such an embarrassing predicament.

Chen Hai is such a prominent figure, he had no right to claim any friendship.

“That’s odd. You didn’t misremember, right? They said you were good friends with him before,” Sun Mei said with a laugh.

Chen Hai shook his head decisively and replied, “Aunt, I can assure you, there’s no Zhou Haiwen in my list of friends, and I don’t know who this person is either. Recently, there have been plenty of scammers in Bin County claiming they’re friends of mine. Be careful not to fall for it.”

Sun Mei laughed even more joyfully and said with some sentiment, “I can’t believe it’s a scam. I actually thought you were real friends.”

Sun Wan hadn’t anticipated that her boastful morning words would be exposed so quickly. With Chen Hai’s denial now, she didn’t dare say more. If Chen Hai held a grudge, Zhou Haiwen’s company would be finished.

“Indeed, I’ll remember this Zhou Haiwen, and I’ll have someone look into it later,” Chen Hai said.

Zhou Haiwen instantly lost all color in his face. His company had just begun to gain traction. If Chen Hai targeted him, not even ten of him would suffice.

“President Chen, that person you mentioned is me, Zhou Haiwen. But I haven’t used your name to deceive people; I merely bragged. I hope you can forgive me,” Zhou Haiwen said, bowing in front of Chen Hai.

“Bragging under my name? You must have guts! Don’t you realize the consequences of such actions?” Chen Hai said coldly.

Cold sweat broke out on Zhou Haiwen’s forehead; he wished Sun Wan would come forward to deal with the consequences now. Despite his affection for Sun Wan, he wouldn’t let her ruin his company’s future.

Moreover, he knew Sun Wan was a gold digger who shared only good fortune. If his company collapsed, Sun Wan would certainly dump him.

“President Chen, I sincerely apologize. Although I didn’t say those boastful words, she’s my girlfriend, so the responsibility is also mine. I’ll have her apologize immediately,” Zhou Haiwen said, then turned to Sun Wan and demanded, “Sun Wan, quickly apologize to President Chen.”

If Tang Qiulu weren’t present, Sun Wan would have apologized to Chen Hai already. But at this moment, she didn’t want to lose face.

“Zhou Haiwen, do you have to make me lose face in front of Tang Qiulu?” Sun Wan whispered through gritted teeth.

Lose face?

Though he himself didn’t care about appearances now, Sun Wan was still concerned about face?

Since they had been together, it was the first time Zhou Haiwen felt disgusted by Sun Wan.

“These words are complete nonsense. I’m only asking you to apologize to President Chen, which is already lenient,” Zhou Haiwen said firmly.

Sun Wan glanced at Tang Qiulu, realizing she was being disgraced in front of her. Though she didn’t want to accept it, was there any choice?

Chen Hai was right there, and judging by his demeanor, he might target Zhou Haiwen.

If Chen Hai focused on Zhou Haiwen’s company, she’d undoubtedly be abandoned.

Having landed a wealthy man finally, Sun Wan didn’t want to lose this chance.

Sun Wan stepped up to Chen Hai and bowed her head, saying, “President Chen, I’m sincerely sorry. I only claimed we were friends to save face; it has nothing to do with Zhou Haiwen.”

“My friend? You need to look at whether you measure up. What are you, really?” Chen Hai said with a face full of disdain.

Sun Wan lowered her head, her eyes brimming with venomous anger. These words reduced her to nothing, and Tang Qiulu was standing by watching!

“President Chen, once we return, I’ll definitely teach her well. Sorry to trouble you,” Zhou Haiwen said.

Chen Hai looked at Su Changfeng, and seeing Su Changfeng subtly nod, he finally said, “Remember what status you hold from now on. Let this matter pass, but if it’s found out by me again, don’t think you’ll have a place to stand in Bin County.”

Once Chen Hai left, Zhou Haiwen finally relaxed, noting that his legs were feeling weak.

Fortunately, Chen Hai didn’t pursue it further; otherwise, it would have become a real headache.

“Sun Wan, now you realize how dangerous bragging can be, right? Better tone down such talk in the future, or it’ll harm you sooner or later,” Sun Mei said with satisfaction, a laugh framing her words.

Sun Wan’s face darkened till it seemed to drip water; she harshly retorted, “Aunt Mei, even if Zhou Haiwen and Chen Hai aren’t friends, he’s still a hundred times better than your son-in-law. At least he’s not worthless.”

“But Su Changfeng never talks big, which makes him better than Zhou Haiwen because of that.”

What an impossible scene! Sun Mei actually defended Su Changfeng?

Su Changfeng was not only surprised, but Tang Qiulu was also particularly shocked.

Even Sun Chao and Xu Fang found it hard to believe. Sun Mei usually badmouthed Su Changfeng and forbade his return to Bin County. It was Sun Mei who decided this, yet now she was speaking for him. Was the sun rising from the west?

“A coward who doesn’t boast, Aunt Mei, you should treasure him; there aren’t many like him in the world nowadays,” Sun Wan mocked.

The two of them argued endlessly. Su Changfeng, silent and wounded, had no real complaints. Seeing Sun Mei speak for him was truly a rare event; he wished they’d argue longer, allowing him to watch a while longer.

Still, every show comes to an end. No matter how you spin it, they were relatives; the argument couldn’t escalate to physical altercations, right?

The group left the LV store, and Sun Wan was set on restoring her dignity at the next shop.

“Just remembered, I forgot something,” Su Changfeng suddenly said.

Everyone paused, puzzled, as they watched Su Changfeng return to the LV store.

“Qiulu, is Su Changfeng going to buy a bag?” Sun Wan chuckled, though it was merely talk, as she doubted Su Changfeng would actually buy anything. The bags were expensive; how could Su Changfeng afford them?

Tang Qiulu looked at Su Changfeng curiously. Was he really buying a bag? Even if Sun Wan found it impossible, Tang Qiulu knew that if Su Changfeng wished, he could absolutely buy one.

“Help me wrap up that one,” Su Changfeng went to the counter and said to a salesperson.

A little later, Su Changfeng emerged from the LV store with a prettily packaged bag; however, the bag he bought was wrapped, so Tang Qiulu and the others couldn’t see what it was.
