The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 477: Chapter 478 The Cause of Death of the Shen Family’s Old Madam

Sun Mei stared hard at Shen Zhenhua; she originally thought her idea could gain Shen Zhenhua’s support, but she didn’t expect him to have this attitude.

Shocked beyond belief?

Isn’t everyone out for themselves? Right now, she’s just looking for stability for herself, as well as Shen Zhenhua and Tang Qiulu.

“Shen Zhenhua, what’s shamelessly brazen? Are you eating and drinking shit, is your money blown in by the wind?!” Sun Mei said viciously.

Previously, Shen Zhenhua was especially scared of Sun Mei’s state. Shen Zhenhua was henpecked and lacked ability, and had little ambition, so even being scolded by Sun Mei, he wouldn’t say anything.

But now, Shen Zhenhua’s attitude was firm, without a trace of fear in his eyes. He looked at Sun Mei and said, “I would rather eat shit, eat garbage, than let Qiulu do such a thing. Wealth gained at the cost of conscience, I refuse to enjoy.”

Sun Mei, her chest heaving with rage, came up to Shen Zhenhua, slapped him twice, and coldly said, “Fine then, you can go eat garbage. I, Sun Mei, definitely won’t give up my current lifestyle.”

The burning pain on Shen Zhenhua’s face was palpable, but he still did not relent, saying, “I still say, you should not do such a thing. Don’t repeatedly exhaust Tang Qiulu’s affection for you; even if you are Qiulu’s biological mother, in the end, Qiulu will still hate you.”

“Hmph.” Sun Mei coldly snorted, saying, “I won’t mention this to Qiulu. I will go to Su Changfeng and let him back out voluntarily. Since Su Changfeng loves Qiulu, he must protect her, and he should bear all the dangerous consequences alone.”

Shen Zhenhua was helpless; he knew no matter how much he tried to persuade, Sun Mei wouldn’t change her decision. In Sun Mei’s eyes, the relationship between Su Changfeng and Tang Qiulu was trivial compared to the wealth she cared most about.

Downstairs, Tang Qiulu listened to Su Changfeng’s story; though her expression showed no sadness, tears continuously flowed.

In his teenage years, which should be playful times, Su Changfeng already bore immense pressure, had to fight in the business sea, planning his future, and was constantly accompanied by treachery and plots. The pressure Su Changfeng endured was something Tang Qiulu could hardly imagine.

“When I was 14, I was thinking about saving money to buy a doll, but you were already bearing the pressure from your family; must have been really hard?” Tang Qiulu tightly grasped Su Changfeng’s hand.

Su Changfeng held Tang Qiulu in his arms, saying calmly, “It’s nothing so hard. After I had you, I felt the tough days had ended. No matter how difficult this thing is, it’s especially worthwhile.”

“Grandpa knows your true background, which is why he wanted you to marry me, not because he dislikes me, right?” Tang Qiulu asked.

Previously, she always felt this was arranged by her grandfather’s favoritism. The Shen family’s younger generation had many girls, yet she was the one arranged to marry Su Changfeng.

Therefore, Tang Qiulu felt that due to Shen Zhenhua’s lack of achievements and her own lack of capability, Grandpa arranged for Su Changfeng to marry into their family.

Su Changfeng smiled and said, “Grandpa told me before, he really dotes on his granddaughter you, it’s impossible he doesn’t like you.”

“When I was young, grandpa really cared about me, but later due to my dad achieving nothing in the group, his status in the group declined a lot, and grandpa rarely intervened in our family affairs.” Tang Qiulu said.

“He was angry because he hated iron not becoming steel. If the old man were still alive, Tang Xiangdong would never sit in the director position of the board.” Su Changfeng said.

The Shen family’s old man told her this before. In his view, there was no such thing as valuing boys over girls; what he cared about most was capability, and Tang Xiangdong’s ability definitely couldn’t match Tang Qiulu’s.

“But sadly, the Old Madam always favored boys over girls, so no matter what Tang Xiangdong did, she would be on his side.” Tang Qiulu said.

Mentioning this, Su Changfeng thought when the Old Madam headed west, she must be extremely unwilling because she never expected her most beloved grandson Tang Xiangdong would poison her.

“Now she’s tasting the bitter fruit she planted. If not for indulging people too much, she wouldn’t have died.” Su Changfeng said.

Tang Qiulu suddenly lifted her head to ask, “Changfeng, did you investigate the cause of the Old Madam’s death?”

Previously, those in the Shen family suspected Gu Qing’er was involved, but Tang Qiulu did not believe it because Gu Qing’er had no motive to harm the Old Madam.

“Who benefited the most from the Old Madam’s death?” Su Changfeng asked with a smile.

Su Changfeng’s question made Tang Qiulu’s expression instantly turn panicky.

Who benefited the most from the Old Madam’s death was obvious to everyone; only with the Old Madam’s death could Tang Xiangdong become the chairman of Shen Family Group.

This meant that the Old Madam was killed by Tang Xiangdong!

How could this be, how could Tang Xiangdong do such a thing?

If she’d heard this from someone else, Tang Qiulu would never believe it, but Su Changfeng wouldn’t lie to her, nor did he have any reason to.

“It was Tang Xiangdong, the Old Madam was poisoned to death by him!” Tang Qiulu said in shock.

“But I haven’t found any concrete evidence yet, still, I am certain it was definitely done by Tang Xiangdong.” Su Changfeng said.

Tang Qiulu hurriedly took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and said, “If there’s really reincarnation, she would deeply regret it. Her most cherished grandson poisoned her to death.”

“Do you hope reincarnation exists?” Su Changfeng asked with a smile.

Tang Qiulu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “I hope so, I hope she regrets it, and I hope she realizes her decisions were utterly wrong.”

Hearing this, Su Changfeng laughed even more heartily; it’s not that Tang Qiulu is petty, but anyone with a normal mind would feel the same.

Because while the Old Madam was alive, she treated Tang Qiulu poorly, heavily favoring Tang Xiangdong. This wouldn’t change even after her death. If Tang Qiulu acted magnanimous, it would make Su Changfeng feel odd.

“Right now, the Old Madam surely regrets it, maybe even complaining to King Yama.” Su Changfeng said.

At this moment, Tang Qiulu seemed like she wanted to speak but hesitated; Su Changfeng knew she had a question but couldn’t give her any answers yet.
