The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 512: Chapter 513: Drinking with Zhu Lie’s Wife

Although his own identity is not very honorable, Zhu Lie always acts with integrity, never resorting to unscrupulous means. Even in those gray areas, Zhu Lie adhered to the principles of morality. If someone asked him to use intimidation or threats against the ordinary people living here, he would never agree.

”What kind of person do you think I am? Do you really think I would harm the ordinary folks in the Urban Village?” Su Changfeng said with a helpless expression.

”I know your character very well, but I’m worried you might lose your rationality in the struggle against the Ye Group,” Zhu Lie said.

”You don’t need to worry. Those people are only after money, but as for me, I refuse to let the Ye Group have their way. My methods are definitely above board,” Su Changfeng said calmly.

After hearing Su Changfeng’s words, Ma Qiang glanced at him from the corner of his eye, because Su Changfeng had just said that he’d provide the money, but the plan was up to Ma Qiang to decide.

Su Changfeng knew Ma Qiang’s status well, and if he let Ma Qiang come up with an idea, it probably wouldn’t be very clean.

”Alright then.” Upon hearing Su Changfeng’s words, Zhu Lie was relieved and said to Ma Qiang, ”If you need any help, just speak up. I can directly send some people over. Some people are just too greedy, and there’s no need to be so polite to such people.”

Ma Qiang dared not answer, he just looked at Su Changfeng, and only when Su Changfeng nodded did he say, ”Thank you, Boss Zhu, I indeed don’t have many people under me, I do need your help.”

”Okay, you can contact Feng Bin anytime,” Zhu Lie said decisively.

Then Zhu Lie stood up, walked over to Ma Qiang, patted his shoulder, and said, ”Now is a great opportunity to change your life, make sure to seize it.”

”Thank you, Boss Zhu, for the reminder. I definitely won’t let Brother Ye down,” Ma Qiang replied with his head lowered.

Ma Qiang felt that his whole life could only wield power here, but at this moment, he might have a chance to walk out from here. In Ma Qiang’s view, even if the road ahead is full of thorns, he will walk it together with Su Changfeng.

Once a person has achieved a certain status, just a word can change someone else’s life.

Although Su Changfeng is not the top figure in the country right now, in the small city of Jiang City, he can easily achieve this.

The benefits of holding such a position are nothing but these. For those at the bottom of society struggling, money is probably their lifelong goal, but these people don’t realize that power is the most dazzling attire on a man.

Zhu Lie believes that for now, Su Changfeng can only change Jiang City, but one day in the future, he might stand at an unknown peak, overlooking everyone.

They left in the same car, with Zhu Lie sitting in the back, eyes fixed on Su Changfeng.

”Zhu Lie, do you have some special hobbies or what? I’m telling you, I’m not interested in this kind of thing, and I’m a married man,” Su Changfeng said to Zhu Lie with a look of disgust.

Zhu Lie looked nonchalant and said faintly, ”You’re already divorced now, how can you call yourself a married man?”

After Zhu Lie said this, Su Changfeng suddenly stopped talking.

Even though it hasn’t been long since he parted ways with Tang Qiulu, to Su Changfeng, it felt like years.

”I’m sorry, I was just saying it casually, don’t take it to heart,” Zhu Lie said apologetically.

Su Changfeng shook his head and said, ”I’ve just realized, today happens to be the 15th, right?”

Zhu Lie froze for a moment. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, he would go to his wife’s grave and stay there the entire day. For someone as affectionate as Zhu Lie, doing this was the only way to alleviate his inner sorrow.

”Yes, you actually remember these small things about me,” Zhu Lie said with a bitter smile.

”Let’s go together and have a look, anyway, I have nothing to do today, let’s go have a drink with your wife,” Su Changfeng suggested.

Zhu Lie raised an eyebrow and said, ”If you want to go, you better bring good liquor. Without a bottle of Maotai, it would lower your status.”

Even so, they bought a very ordinary Erguotou and then returned to Zhu Lie’s old home.

The grave in the courtyard of Zhu Lie’s old home had been cleaned thoroughly, and the two of them sat directly in front of the Mubei District.

Zhu Lie first offered a cup of wine to his wife and clinked glasses with Su Changfeng, saying with a face full of emotion, ”Do you know what I regret the most now?”

”You didn’t die with her, but now you can’t bear to die, because if you did, no one would be around to tend her grave,” Su Changfeng said.

”As expected, you understand me the most. My current motivation to live is just to come here on the first and fifteenth to pull some weeds for her and clean the tombstone. If I don’t do these things, I won’t be able to find the meaning of my life,” Zhu Lie said.

”Have you ever thought about taking her to a quieter place? If it were me, I would definitely take her to a place free from worldly concerns,” Su Changfeng said.

”A place free from worldly concerns?” Zhu Lie chuckled lightly, ”Does such a place exist?”

”Trust me, since I said it, it surely exists,” Su Changfeng said firmly.

Zhu Lie raised the Erguotou, hesitated for a moment, clinked glasses with Su Changfeng, and said, ”I trust you. I might as well take a look at this vast world.”

Su Changfeng let out a sigh of relief. When Zhu Lie mentioned that he couldn’t see the meaning of life clearly, Su Changfeng worried that Zhu Lie might not want to leave Jiang City. Losing a helper like Zhu Lie would greatly affect Su Changfeng.

Fortunately, Zhu Lie was willing to let his beloved move to another place.

In the Golden City Hotel, the bored Ye Qingcheng suddenly received stunning news: Sun Mei actually planned to meet her!

After arriving in Jiang City, Ye Qingcheng had essentially understood the relationships around Su Changfeng, and she certainly knew that Sun Mei was Su Changfeng’s mother-in-law, but Sun Mei suddenly wanting to see her left Ye Qingcheng puzzled.

”Miss, Sun Mei claims to be Su Changfeng’s former mother-in-law. Could it be that she plans to clear her ties with Su Changfeng this time?” Ye Qing said smiling.

The word ”former” made Ye Qing laugh heartily. To cut ties so decisively, how much does Sun Mei not want to be entangled with Su Changfeng?

”According to previous investigations, Sun Mei is a particularly selfish woman. Clearing her relationship with Su Changfeng is indeed something she would do, but specifically coming to see me might not be so simple,” Ye Qingcheng frowned.

She liked interacting with those more self-serving people because such people tend to have more flaws, making them easier to control.
