The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 292: Chapter 293: Major Reversal

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyun’s legs gave way, and he directly fell to his knees. His arrogance stemmed from his connection to the school directors, but in this situation, these directors were nothing in the eyes of Su Changfeng.

“I sincerely apologize. Initially, I was the one who slandered you and ruined your reputation. I beg you to forgive me.” Chen Qingyun said to Chen Qingqing.

Many students who witnessed this scene instantly went into an uproar.

Why would Chen Qingyun kneel and apologize to Chen Qingqing? This defies logic!

Many people rubbed their eyes, feeling they must have seen it wrong.

“What’s going on, Chen Qingyun actually knelt to apologize to Chen Qingqing.”

“Oh my gosh, this is so unexpected. What happened?”

“Could it be that Chen Qingqing has a powerful backing? Otherwise, why would Chen Qingyun apologize to her?”

Once these words were spoken, many people turned their gaze to Su Changfeng.

They were aware of someone driving a Lamborghini forcefully onto campus, but in their minds, this person should have a tragic end, not possibly clearing Chen Qingqing’s name.

“Tell everyone what actually happened.” Su Changfeng said.

Chen Qingyun nodded repeatedly as if his head were a garlic pounding, and he recounted the entire incident where he tried to assault Chen Qingqing when she was a tutor, causing another uproar.

Since the incident spread throughout the school, the entire public opinion pointed towards Chen Qingqing, labeling her as someone who sold herself, calling her despicable, but now the truth was revealed, showing she was the victim of the whole event.

Once the entire matter was clarified, the principal appeared again, admitting he failed to investigate thoroughly and must take full responsibility, and thereby resigned from his position. This was something the students found hard to believe.

Even the principal was implicated in this matter?

By now, even those not so quick-witted noticed something was amiss.

If it was merely Chen Qingyun’s apology, one might say the truth could no longer be hidden. However, the principal taking all responsibility leading to such severe consequences indicated the matter was far from simple.

Many were speculating about Su Changfeng’s identity. Now, these people understood why Dong, Pang, You, and Tang appeared; it was likely the person on stage called them to clear Chen Qingqing’s name.

The girl who previously threatened Chen Qingqing now looked pale. Earlier, she guessed Dong, Pang, You, and Tang appeared to deal with Su Changfeng, but with the current circumstances, it was clearly her overthinking, and this person was no ordinary rich second-generation.

Her family indeed had some wealth, otherwise, she couldn’t have bribed Chen Qingqing’s roommate and obtained the video of Chen Qingqing changing clothes. Now that even Dong, Pang, You, and Tang were speaking on his behalf, she couldn’t fathom what her fate would be if he pursued the matter.

After stepping out of the crowd, she secretly contacted her family, “Dad, I might be in big trouble this time.”

“Don’t worry, sweetheart, even if the sky falls, Dad can solve it for you.” The voice on the other end was calm, with no worry about his daughter’s trouble.

“But, this time it’s a bit tricky. The people I provoked likely have powerful connections like Dong, Pang, You, and Tang from Rong City.”

“What… what! What did you just say?” The voice from the other end turned frantic.

“Dong Chengwen, Pang Zhentian, You Zichen, Tang Chenren.”

“Li Sitong, what did you do?” A furious voice burst from the receiver. He was particularly fond of his daughter, having spoiled her since she was young, but never dreamt she would cause such a huge mess.

Offending any of Dong, Pang, You, or Tang was unbearable for the Li Family, but now angering all four left no avenue for survival.

“Dad, I’m sorry, I never thought it would turn out this way. Who would have known that person wielded such influence?” Li Sitong cried.

When all was revealed at the flag-raising platform, the truth became clear, and the recent rumors about Chen Qingqing shattered.

The students were especially outraged, mainly at the principal’s prior mishandling of the matter, though his resignation pacified some anger.

You Tang spoke out, assuring future proactive management to quell the issue.

Chen Qingqing, with tears streaming down her face, looked at Su Changfeng, unsure how to express her gratitude for resolving this matter, feeling nothing she did could repay him.

“Brother Changfeng, thank you so much.” Chen Qingqing said.

Su Changfeng patted Chen Qingqing’s shoulder, saying, “It’s just a minor issue; don’t dwell on it. Aunt Liu worked hard raising you, so don’t forget to be filial to your mother in the future.”

Chen Qingqing nodded repeatedly, unable to speak through her tears.

After descending the flag-raising platform, Su Changfeng took out his phone and dialed a number.

“Thank you for helping this time; consider me owing you a favor.” Su Changfeng said.

“I’m glad you reached out to me for help, but I’ll remember this favor.” Ji Hong said.

Getting the influential people from Rong City to show up was beyond Su Changfeng’s capability since he’d not yet developed there, but Beijing Su Family’s backing was substantial.

“Does anyone know about this matter?” Su Changfeng asked.

“Don’t worry, I sent the orders myself; no one will know this is related to Su Family.” Ji Hong said.

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, let’s leave it at that.”

“Pay back the favor during the New Year, bring her home for a visit.” Ji Hong said.

Su Changfeng paused.

Home?

‘Home’ was a foreign term to Su Changfeng.

The home in Beijing?

Long ago, Su Changfeng ceased considering it his home.

“We’ll talk later.” Su Changfeng said without giving Ji Hong a chance to retort, ending the call.

Chen Qingqing walked with Su Changfeng, just as he put away his phone, she said, “Brother Changfeng, I’ll treat you to a meal later.”

“Sure, I’m a bit hungry too.” Su Changfeng rubbed his stomach, saying, “But I’ll host this meal.”

“That’s not acceptable; you resolved such a big trouble for me, I can’t let you host.” Chen Qingqing immediately disagreed.

Since Su Changfeng specifically traveled to Rong City to help resolve this, mere words of appreciation couldn’t express Chen Qingqing’s gratitude. Despite a meal being insufficient, given her current capability, that’s all she could offer.
