The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 357: Chapter 358: Sun Mei Still Hasn’t Learned Her Lesson

“I understand how you’re feeling. Take a good rest for now, consider it an extended vacation from the group. The group will definitely pull through, trust me.” Tang Qiulu said.

Wang Xiaoxiao looked sincerely at Tang Qiulu, realizing that she wasn’t joking, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Chairman Tang, I believe the group can survive this. You’re much more capable than Tang Xiangdong. Even if someone funded him to start a group, he would eventually run it into bankruptcy.” Wang Xiaoxiao said.

Tang Qiulu smiled, looking at the tall building of the group. In fact, she was also unsure. If she had to rely solely on her own means, it would be impossible to save the group.

Therefore, all of Tang Qiulu’s hopes were pinned on Su Changfeng. However, Su Changfeng was currently injured, and she had to wait for him to recover before she could talk to him about this. Giving him a week’s vacation was for this very reason.

After returning to the hospital, Tang Qiulu put on an air of nonchalance. Even if Su Changfeng asked her, Tang Qiulu would dismiss it with a word.

“By the way, how much longer will the group be busy?” Su Changfeng asked. The two had agreed to retake their wedding photos earlier, and he was growing impatient.

“It should be soon, but if you want, we can go take the pictures tomorrow.” Tang Qiulu smiled.

“Tomorrow?” Su Changfeng instinctively touched his head. If he went to take pictures looking like this, the photographer might laugh so hard they couldn’t hold the camera steady. Besides, wedding photos are particularly important and deserve to be taken in the most perfect state.

“No way, if my future son saw me looking like this in the photos, he would laugh at me.” Su Changfeng decisively refused.

The word “son” made Tang Qiulu’s heart race. Although she hadn’t thought about these things yet, she knew they would come sooner or later. As for becoming a mother, Tang Qiulu felt a bit scared but was also quite expectant.

“Who wants to have a son with you? Stop flattering yourself.” Tang Qiulu said, avoiding Su Changfeng’s eyes.

Su Changfeng was overjoyed. Tang Qiulu’s tone was playfully coy, which meant that she didn’t really reject the idea, and this showed Su Changfeng a glimmer of victory, as if the revolution was about to succeed.

Just as they showed the slightest hint of romance, someone opened the door again, and Su Changfeng felt exasperated. Why did the doctor always appear at the most crucial moment?

However, upon seeing who came in, Su Changfeng’s complaints vanished like smoke.

It wasn’t the doctor who entered; it was Sun Mei and Tang Zhenhua. It was unexpected that they would come over.

“Dad, Mom.” Su Changfeng called out.

“How’s your health now?” Sun Mei asked, bringing a fruit basket to his bedside.

“It’s nothing, just a minor wound.” Su Changfeng said.

“As long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters.” Sun Mei said, then turned to Tang Qiulu, “Qiulu, come out for a moment, I have something to ask you.”

After Sun Mei and Tang Qiulu left the ward, Su Changfeng’s brows furrowed together. It was clear that Sun Mei’s purpose in coming to the hospital was not to see him, but to seek out Tang Qiulu.

“Dad, has something happened?” Su Changfeng asked Tang Zhenhua.

“No, nothing happened, not a single thing. You just focus on resting.” Tang Zhenhua said, unable to hide the panic on his face.

Su Changfeng’s face turned extremely gloomy. Clearly, something must have happened, but Tang Qiulu didn’t want to tell him.

Outside the ward, Sun Mei took Tang Qiulu all the way to the end of the hospital corridor.

“Mom, what’s going on? Can’t you say it in the ward?” Tang Qiulu asked, puzzled.

Sun Mei glanced around the ward, making sure Su Changfeng couldn’t hear them, then said, “Making such a big commotion, now everyone in town knows what happened. What are you planning to do about this?”

Tang Qiulu hadn’t anticipated that the news had spread, even reaching Sun Mei. It must have been Zhou Chaohai deliberately spreading the word to warn the groups working with the Tang Family to distance themselves and cut ties.

That would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Tang Group.

Seeing Tang Qiulu remain silent, Sun Mei pressed on, “What are you thinking about now? You’ve finally become the group’s chairman. Are you just going to watch it collapse? Get Su Changfeng out to handle this immediately.”

“Mom, Su Changfeng is still hospitalized. I currently only intend for him to rest and recover.” Tang Qiulu said.

“Recover? It’s just minor injuries, nothing serious. Right now, the group is what matters most. It’s not like he’s going to die.” Sun Mei said dismissively.

When Sun Mei first learned of this, she was very anxious. In her view, the good days had only just begun, and with Tang Qiulu as chairman, she felt a sense of pride among her friends.

But now, with Zhou Chaohai targeting the group, everything they had obtained seemed to be turning into bubbles. Sun Mei was understandably anxious.

“Mom, do you even know what you’re saying? Can the group measure up to Chang Feng?” Tang Qiulu asked, staring at Sun Mei.

“Why can’t it? Is he going to drop dead right now? His injuries aren’t that serious. Don’t you know what’s more important?” Sun Mei said.

“In my heart, Su Changfeng is the most important. No matter what, everything else will be dealt with after he recovers.” Tang Qiulu said resolutely.

“You’re too stubborn.” Sun Mei was as anxious as if she were on a hot griddle. The longer they delayed, the more the group’s crisis grew, and she didn’t want to see Tang Qiulu working for someone else again; her friends would mock her to no end.

“If you won’t go, then I’ll talk to him myself.” Sun Mei said.

“Mom.” Tang Qiulu said coldly, “I’m warning you, no one is to speak of this in front of Chang Feng until he fully recovers. If you tell him, then don’t blame me for turning against you.”

“Turn against me? Tang Qiulu, am I not still your mother? I’m doing this for your future. He’s fine now, so what’s the harm in telling him?” Sun Mei retorted angrily.

Tang Qiulu knew how selfish Sun Mei could be. Her attitude toward Su Changfeng changed because he cornered Shangguan Feihong to death in the villa, which made her fearful of him.

But when her own interests were at stake, Sun Mei wouldn’t care about Su Changfeng’s feelings at all.

“Is this really for my future, or are you afraid of being embarrassed in front of your friends? Worried that if the group collapses, you won’t have anything to brag about?” Tang Qiulu said.
