The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 514: Chapter 515: The Embarrassed Cheng Yuchen

Cheng Yuchen has liked Tang Qiulu for many years. He even declared that he would marry only Tang Qiulu. However, three years ago, when Su Changfeng married Tang Qiulu, it led Cheng Yuchen into despair. He secretly sent some thugs to trouble Su Changfeng, but they all ended up in the hospital.

Cheng Yuchen didn’t know what happened afterward, but his group mentioned that Su Changfeng was someone with exceptional skills. But because Su Changfeng had such a prominent name in Jiang City, Cheng Yuchen didn’t believe what they said.

He didn’t continue to bother Su Changfeng because he had to take over his family’s business at the time, and once he got busy, he forgot everything else.

Now that Tang Qiulu and Su Changfeng are divorced, and Sun Mei spread the news that Su Changfeng and Tang Qiulu hadn’t consummated their marriage, Cheng Yuchen saw a glimmer of hope again, so he immediately tried to contact Sun Mei, hoping Tang Qiulu could become his wife.

”Yu Chen, have you been waiting a long time?” Sun Mei warmly sat down next to Cheng Yuchen.

Cheng Yuchen quickly said, ”Aunt Mei, I just arrived not long ago and haven’t waited long. Anyway, Qiulu hasn’t come back yet.”

Sun Mei glanced at the time and said, ”The time should be about right, she should be home soon, why don’t you stay for a meal?”

After saying that, Sun Mei glared fiercely at Liu Lili, saying, ”Why are you just standing there? Go make dinner! Are you incapable of walking?”

When the busy all-day Tang Qiulu came home and saw Cheng Yuchen sitting in their living room, her face instantly turned cold.

In the past, Cheng Yuchen was among those pursuing her, and although it had been a long time since he had appeared in front of Tang Qiulu, she could not possibly forget him. However, Cheng Yuchen suddenly appearing in their home had obvious implications.

”Qiulu.” As Tang Qiulu gradually approached, Cheng Yuchen stood up nervously.

Tang Qiulu didn’t even offer a polite greeting to Cheng Yuchen and directly pulled Aunt Mei back to her room.

”Mom, are you not aware of what kind of person he is? Why did you let him come to our home?” Tang Qiulu complained.

”I certainly know that Cheng Yuchen especially liked you before.” Sun Mei replied.

”You know that, then why are you letting him stay in our house?” Tang Qiulu questioned.

Sun Mei smiled, ”You’re divorced from Su Changfeng now, and Cheng Yuchen is such an excellent young man. Why not give it another chance?”

These words left Tang Qiulu stunned. Although the divorce was real, she didn’t intend to get involved with another man.

And the divorce was Su Changfeng’s way of protecting her, not because they had no feelings for each other. They would remarry in the future, and she would continue to be with Su Changfeng.

”Mom, I know that you made Chang Feng agree to the divorce by manipulating things behind the scenes. I didn’t make a fuss about it, but that doesn’t mean you can push your luck!” Tang Qiulu said coldly.

Sun Mei put on an innocent face and said, ”Mom just wants you to have another choice, not to force you to be with Yu Chen. You two can just get to know each other, no harm in that.”

”No way. I won’t do anything that betrays Chang Feng.” Tang Qiulu firmly stated.

Sun Mei’s face gradually showed some displeasure, which was why she wanted Su Changfeng gone. As long as Su Changfeng was alive, Tang Qiulu’s heart would never waver.

”At least have a meal, okay? Yu Chen is already here, you can’t just send him packing, can you? That would be a bit inappropriate, right? Our Shen family should at least have some manners.” Sun Mei said.

If she forced Tang Qiulu too much, it would only push her further away. Sun Mei knew this well. For now, she had to proceed step by step, letting Tang Qiulu adapt gradually.

”No.” Tang Qiulu again refused outright, even if it was just a meal. Eating with Cheng Yuchen would fill Tang Qiulu with guilt and make her feel like she was betraying Su Changfeng.

Sun Mei’s expression turned cold: ”Not even just for a meal? Do you really want to embarrass your mom like this?”

”You’re the one who invited him, do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me.” Tang Qiulu replied.

Sun Mei was shaking with anger, though she was furious, she held it in. Arguing with Tang Qiulu now was not the right choice.

”Eat if you want.” After saying these four words, Sun Mei left the room.

Even preferring to go hungry, Tang Qiulu refused to step out of her room, while over in the villa’s dining area, the atmosphere at the dining table was awkward. Cheng Yuchen realized that Tang Qiulu remained in her room because she saw him there. In his eyes, Tang Qiulu’s actions left him feeling completely hopeless.

However, Sun Mei’s attitude was quite the opposite, constantly comforting him not to give up just yet, telling him that Tang Qiulu was still immersed in feelings of betrayal by Su Changfeng and needed time to move on.

When Cheng Yuchen was about to leave, Sun Mei specifically escorted him to the door, saying, ”Yu Chen, don’t give up so quickly. I will also try to persuade Qiulu. In the current Jiang City, no one except you, Aunt Mei approves of.”

Initially losing confidence, Sun Mei’s multiple encouragements gave Cheng Yuchen a bit of confidence, saying, ”Aunt Mei, don’t worry, I won’t give up now. As long as you are willing to help me, I’m confident that I can win Qiulu’s heart.”

Sun Mei smiled and said, ”Take it slow on your way back. I’m still waiting for you to call me mom.”

This statement made Cheng Yuchen even happier, firmly believing that Tang Qiulu’s reluctance to meet him was solely due to emotional heartbreak, and he was confident that as long as he persisted, he would win Tang Qiulu’s heart.

After sending Cheng Yuchen off, Sun Mei took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and knocked on the door outside Tang Qiulu’s room.

”Come in.”

Entering the room, Sun Mei sat down on the bed with a face full of emotion, took Tang Qiulu’s hand, and said, ”Qiulu, Mom really means well for you, but this matter is indeed my fault. I didn’t inform you in advance. Rest assured, it won’t happen again.”

”Mom, let me tell you one last time, I won’t have any relation with another man, except Su Changfeng.” Tang Qiulu said.

”Alright, alright, I understand. Such things will never be mentioned again, okay?” Sun Mei secretly wished to strip Su Changfeng down to the bone, yet outwardly maintained a respectful demeanor towards Tang Qiulu.

”You shouldn’t have made Chang Feng divorce me. Since we are a couple, we should face difficulties together.” Tang Qiulu said.
