The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 353: Chapter 354 Tang Qiulu Steps Forward

After hanging up the phone, Su Changfeng asked, “Did something happen?”

Tang Qiulu sighed and said, “There are some important documents at the group that need my signature.”

She hadn’t planned to tell Su Changfeng about this because he was still injured and recovering was the top priority. She didn’t want this small matter to prevent him from resting properly.

“Then you should hurry back to the group, I’m strong enough now to punch a cow to death—I can take care of myself,” Su Changfeng said.

Tang Qiulu nodded and said, “What do you want for lunch? I can bring it back for you.”

“Anything is fine. If you’re really busy, you don’t have to worry about lunch,” Su Changfeng said.

“Alright, remember to call me if you need anything,” Tang Qiulu said.

Having been taken care of by Tang Qiulu all night, Su Changfeng felt very content. Therefore, he felt no unease when Tang Qiulu left at that moment.

He suddenly remembered the Purgatory matter. He didn’t know how Pangolin was doing and kept the receiver device with him at all times, afraid of missing any messages from Pangolin.

Previously, Su Changfeng considered Tang Qiulu the most important part of his life, but now whether Su Qingtian was still alive ranked equally high for him.

Tang Qiulu was Su Changfeng’s kin, and Su Qingtian was also close family. Both were indispensable to Su Changfeng, but unfortunately, he didn’t know when he would hear news about Su Qingtian. He had no choice but to wait.

Tang Qiulu drove to the group, where all the employees were gathered at the front gate, and a few of the older fellows were sitting there, exuding an air of authority.

Zhou Chaohai sat among them because, among the old fellows, his position was higher.

Since retiring, Zhou Chaohai had never been this much in the spotlight, and though he was well up in years, he still felt a sense of pride, which hadn’t waned at all.

“Chairman Tang is here!”

“Finally here, but I don’t know whether Chairman Tang can come up with a solution for this.”

“Sigh, I think it’s tough. Who’s Zhou Chaohai? His position is much higher than Chairman Tang’s. Plus, not one of those old fellows is simple. If they all target the Tang Family, maybe we’d indeed be out of work.”

Wang Xiaoxiao hurried over to Tang Qiulu and said, “Chairman Tang, these people came to make trouble for the group. Could it be that our competitors are trying to destroy us?”

Tang Qiulu shook her head, offered no response, and headed straight toward Zhou Chaohai and the others.

“Finally tired of being a coward? Finally willing to show yourself?” Zhou Chaohai said with a smile to Tang Qiulu.

“Does Su Changfeng have any obligation to win the competition for you?” Tang Qiulu said coldly. Now that she understood why these old fellows were here, she had no need for pretense.

Currently, the Go Association in Hai City had become the biggest joke in the country. Even though they had long resigned from the association, they still faced disgrace. Being ridiculed this way had made these old folks particularly angry. Hearing what Tang Qiulu said, their tempers flared up.

“Tang Qiulu, you better watch your attitude. If I, Zhou Chaohai, speak out, your group will be removed from Hai City,” Zhou Chaohai said.

“Since you’re all so capable, why don’t you compete? Is it impossible for you? Or you? Or you?” Tang Qiulu scornfully pointed at a few of them and said.

The faces of those pointed at by Tang Qiulu changed instantly. If they had the ability, they wouldn’t have asked Su Changfeng to compete. It was because they lacked the capability but wanted to save face that they tried to force Su Changfeng into the competition.

Of course, in their eyes, it wasn’t exactly forcing—it was just how they rationalized it among themselves. If not for Tang Qiulu, even pointing a gun wouldn’t have changed Su Changfeng’s decision.

“Tang Qiulu, we just want Su Changfeng to stand up and kneel down to apologize to us. Don’t be ignorant!”

“A small Tang Family can’t stand against us. I suggest you reconsider.”

“Speaking up for that worthless man gives you nothing and everybody in Hai City knows his reputation, right? It’s just kneeling down to apologize, not a loss for the Tang Family, right?”

Hearing their words, Tang Qiulu looked extremely cold. It was true that people in Hai City largely considered Su Changfeng a coward.

But in Tang Qiulu’s eyes, Su Changfeng wasn’t a loser or coward. He was simply low-key and didn’t like to show off.

“He’s my husband. Of course, I’ll speak on his behalf. And anyway, this matter isn’t his fault; it’s you all who pushed too far. Why should he kneel down and apologize to you?” Tang Qiulu said assertively.

Zhou Chaohai looked at Tang Qiulu with a sinister gaze. Originally, he thought pressuring her would make Su Changfeng come out and apologize, but he didn’t expect Tang Qiulu to be so resolute, completely dismissing them!

“Husband? You actually admit such trash as your husband? Who in Hai City doesn’t know that in three years of marriage, he hasn’t touched you once? Have you resigned to your fate at this point? Willing to let the Tang Family fall into trouble for this loser Su Changfeng?” Zhou Chaohai retorted.

Rumors about Su Changfeng and Tang Qiulu were spread by Tang Xiangdong in Hai City. His influence had greatly contributed to Su Changfeng’s reputation, but that was just that. The current situation wasn’t as the rumors suggested.

Tang Qiulu had gone from detesting Su Changfeng to having a change of heart, acknowledging her feelings for him. She had hinted multiple times to Su Changfeng before that, if he wasn’t so oblivious, they would have already become a real couple.

“Zhou Chaohai, even at your age, you still have no shame? Su Changfeng can’t lose a match and has to bring you face? Things you can’t accomplish, where do you get the idea he should?” Tang Qiulu exclaimed.

Zhou Chaohai and the others had a firm and superior attitude because they genuinely believed they could threaten Su Changfeng at first. This made them feel Su Changfeng could be easily manipulated, which is why they dared to push so aggressively.

Moreover, Su Changfeng had already easily defeated Sima Chenguang in the association before. His participation in the match was a sure victory.
