The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 454: Chapter 455: Envy Psychology

Sun Mei’s character was something Liu Lili had come to understand over time; every time there was a dispute, it was basically Sun Mei stirring up trouble—that’s what Liu Lili observed.

”But without me...”

Before Liu Lili could finish speaking, Su Changfeng interrupted, saying: ”Without you, there wouldn’t be much change either. A leopard can’t change its spots, and Sun Mei won’t change.”

Maybe she will be restrained for a while, but over time, Sun Mei will revert to her old self, just like after Shangguan Feihong hanged herself in the living room, Sun Mei was also quiet for a while.

However, this behavior is ingrained in Sun Mei’s nature, and hoping for her to change is nothing but daydreaming.

Su Changfeng turned around, looked at the villagers kneeling there, and continued: ”Although I’m not clear on what misunderstanding you have about Aunt Liu, she is definitely not the person you’re portraying her as. This time, I won’t hold it against you, but if anyone dares to speak ill of Aunt Liu again, I’ll break his mouth.”

”We wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare. If anyone dares to spout nonsense, I, Wang Erlai, will not spare him,” Wang Erlai hurriedly said.

Su Changfeng approached Wang Erlai and said coldly: ”You want to use your influence to oppress people, but at least you need some status to do that. With your current standing, you don’t have the qualifications!”

”Right, right, I don’t have the qualifications, I don’t,” Wang Erlai dared not show the slightest displeasure, knowing that even someone like Zhu Lie accompanied Su Changfeng here, he was nothing.

Zhu Lie stood next to Peng Bian, his eyes showing strong admiration. Ever since he met Su Changfeng, Su seemed like a treasure trove, always able to reveal surprising things.

For example, this time, Liu Lili was just a nanny, but Su Changfeng was willing to expend effort to help her. If it were any other rich young man, they might not even glance her way.

Su Changfeng’s values are particularly righteous, making people believe in him.

Though Zhu Lie was forced to make a comeback, at this moment he felt his choice was particularly correct. If it weren’t for Su Changfeng, how would there be such a marvelous world to see?

The future world might even be more exciting than now.

Su Changfeng went into the house, packed Liu Lili’s luggage for her, and then they drove away.

A relieved Wang Erlai finally let out a breath, took a deep breath, and then stood up to instruct the villagers beside him: ”You all heard what that young man just said, right? Stop speaking recklessly, if I hear it again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

”Village chief, what exactly is going on with those people? You’re not even their match,” a villager asked Wang Erlai.

Wang Erlai wasn’t worried about losing face because compared to a big figure like Zhu Lie, it was only natural that he, a small village chief, was no match.

”You ignorant bunch, Zhu Lie is currently the top figure in the grey areas of Jiang City, and that young man just now is likely someone from the Gu Family,” Wang Erlai said.

The Gu Family is a top-tier presence in Jiang City, even a small village like theirs knew that, and when these villagers heard that Su Changfeng might be from the Gu Family, they were all stunned.

”My God, he’s from the Gu Family, could Liu Lili be working there?”

”Liu Lili’s struck it big, getting into the Gu Family.”

”What about the Gu Family, they’re just a wealthy family, and it has nothing to do with Liu Lili. No matter how rich and powerful the Gu Family is, it’s still theirs, not Liu Lili’s,” a villager said jealously.

Deep down, everyone envied Liu Lili, but no one was willing to acknowledge that she was doing better than them.

This is normal in the countryside; if you’re having a tough time, many will happily mock you, and some will pretend to care.

However, when you’re doing better than others, these people won’t have a shred of blessings for you, and some might even curse you behind your back—this is the mentality of envy for the wealthy.

Upon arriving at the villa, Sun Mei proactively sought out Liu Lili. Now that Liu Lili had been brought back by Su Changfeng, they needed to get along in the future, and Sun Mei also wanted to show her stance to Su Changfeng, so she apologized to Liu Lili.

Despite Sun Mei’s apology, Liu Lili didn’t believe it in her heart, but she had to pretend to forgive her because she was just a nanny, while Sun Mei, being Su Changfeng’s mother-in-law, was considered a family member and thus held authority.

Tang Qiulu took Su Changfeng to the room, knowing that he was particularly angry today; she had to find a way to calm him down.

Of course, Tang Qiulu was also very angry. When she saw Su Changfeng being hit by Sun Gui, she wanted to kill Sun Gui.

”You must be really angry, what can I do to help you vent?” Tang Qiulu directly asked Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng smiled; no matter how much resentment he carried, when Tang Qiulu was in front of him, he would hide it all away, and since it wasn’t Tang Qiulu’s fault, how could he make her help him vent?

”I’m fine, but Aunt Liu has suffered a lot. When I arrived at Aunt Liu’s place, I saw her being pelted with stones, and she already had injuries on her body. Probably someone had beaten her before I went to find her,” Su Changfeng said helplessly.

Tang Qiulu gritted her teeth; Liu Lili worked diligently and now was being treated like this.

”Let’s do something to make it up to Aunt Liu; we can’t let her suffer in vain,” Tang Qiulu said.

Su Changfeng shook his head, knowing that with Liu Lili’s character, she wouldn’t ask for any compensation, but there was something that needed to be done.

”Go tell Mom not to make things difficult for Aunt Liu in the future; it’s not easy for her to support her family,” Su Changfeng said.

”Alright,” Tang Qiulu nodded vigorously, saying: ”I’ll explain it to Mom later, and I won’t let her be that outrageous anymore.”

Tang Qiulu was making a huge decision by saying this, but Su Changfeng knew that making Sun Mei change wasn’t something that could be achieved in a day; now he could only hope that Sun Mei could actually restrain herself a bit.

”I have something to do, I need to go out for a bit, you go and have a talk with Mom,” Su Changfeng said.

Just now, Zhu Lie mentioned that someone was looking for him in Jiang City and was waiting at the Golden City Hotel, but Zhu Lie wasn’t sure about the other party’s identity yet.

The grandeur of the invitation made Su Changfeng especially curious about who the person was and what they wanted to do, so he had to meet with them.

”Is there any danger?” Tang Qiulu asked worriedly.

Su Changfeng smiled helplessly: ”No danger, I’m not a troublemaker who picks fights randomly.”

Tang Qiulu pouted, saying: ”You’ve been to the hospital several times already, and you’ve only just been discharged for a short time.”
