The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 595: Chapter 596: The Ultimate Straight Man Su Changfeng

”Does the existence of bad people in the world mean everyone must become bad? It’s not a constant personal standard,” Su Changfeng said.

Yue Qingshan knew Su Changfeng had extremely strict standards for anything he did, and once he decided on something, he would definitely not touch it casually. However, this also meant that Su Changfeng imposed many restrictions on himself, causing him to be apprehensive when doing other things.

”But being a good person is very difficult. I investigated Chen Weitian, and in his view, only interests come first, and currently, he particularly trusts Ye Qingcheng. Without using other methods, it’s impossible for Chen Weitian to do anything for you,” Yue Qingshan said.

”Weren’t you planning to cook? I’m a bit hungry now,” Su Changfeng changed the subject.

Yue Qingshan sighed helplessly; shaking Su Changfeng’s resolve was indeed a very difficult task.

But Yue Qingshan believed in Su Changfeng’s capabilities; even if he adhered to his own standards, Su Changfeng had the ability to succeed.

”The main dish tonight is beef. I haven’t learned it for very long, and I hope the food I make won’t be too bad,” Yue Qingshan said.

Yue Qingshan was busy cooking in the kitchen while Su Changfeng was in the living room, thinking not only about the current troubles of the Urban Village, but also about the elderly man in the teahouse urging him to use the teacup.

At mealtime, the enticing three dishes and a soup were so tempting that they made one’s mouth water. As long as Su Changfeng ate with satisfaction, Yue Qingshan would be happy in her heart. She even entertained the thought that if she could live like this for the rest of her life, it might be the happiest thing for her—to give everything from the Zhou Family to Su Changfeng while she stayed home and raised children.

Unfortunately, this idea was merely Yue Qingshan’s wishful thinking. She knew that no matter how much she gave, it would only be her giving, and Su Changfeng would not respond even a little.

But now Yue Qingshan didn’t expect any response; she was just doing things that made her happy inside, not considering how long that happiness would last.

Before resting, the weather suddenly changed, the wind blew, and outside the window, there was lightning and thunder.

Watching TV, Yue Qingshan’s face became pale, seemingly very afraid of the thunder outside.

This fear dates back to a night when Yue Qingshan was not very old, also during a stormy night. A sudden thunderbolt cracked the sky. Without parents to accompany her, Yue Qingshan curled up, trembling in the corner, and that night was especially torturous in her eyes.

So even now, whenever Yue Qingshan hears the sound of thunder, she becomes particularly afraid because it represents not just a rainy day but a lonely experience for her.

”Are you scared?” Su Changfeng asked Yue Qingshan.

Yue Qingshan nodded.

”If you’re afraid, you’d better go to rest quickly. Once you fall asleep, you won’t be scared anymore.”

Under Yue Qingshan’s shocked gaze, Su Changfeng first returned to the room, which left Yue Qingshan feeling aggrieved and on the brink of tears. Even if he didn’t want to comfort her, he could at least stay with her a bit longer.

This night, Yue Qingshan couldn’t sleep, but Su Changfeng’s sleep was very deep.

Su Changfeng rather liked such weather and also enjoyed such noisy environments because only in this kind of Tianqi did he not feel that the night was particularly quiet.

From a young age, Su Changfeng lived in a side room where even the household servants did not want to go, and at night, there was basically no sound; therefore, during such thunderstorm Tianqi, Su Changfeng found his room especially lively.

The loneliness was similar, but the way the two dealt with this loneliness was different, which might be why Su Changfeng and Yue Qingshan couldn’t walk together.

The next morning, when Su Changfeng got up, he saw Yue Qingshan still curled up on the sofa in the living room, her slightly tired face clearly indicating a sleepless night.

”I slept very well, how about you?” Su Changfeng deliberately asked.

Yue Qingshan glared at Su Changfeng in grievance, her entire night sleepless due to the sound of thunder. She thought Su Changfeng might come to comfort her halfway through the night; little did she know he was so heartless and never came out, and she even heard him snoring!

”Su Changfeng, is this how you act? Are you still a man?” Yue Qingshan said, gritting her teeth.

”Whether I’m a man or not, only Han Xue can tell. Such a precious thing cannot be shown to you,” Su Changfeng said as he turned and went to the bathroom to wash.

Yue Qingshan felt particularly bitter inside, and when Su Changfeng came out of the bathroom, she sought to ease her wounded spirit by asking, ”I want to eat the soy milk and fried dough sticks we bought before.”

”If I come back, I’ll buy them for you; if I don’t come back, then find something else to eat,” Su Changfeng said as he opened the door and went out.

Staring at the closed door, Yue Qingshan felt aggrieved and let her tears fall; it was the first time she had been treated like this, but it was all her own doing, with no way to blame others.

While waiting for the elevator, Su Changfeng inadvertently ran into Chen Xueqi. This woman, who had been avoiding Su Changfeng, now seemed intentionally to run into him again.

As soon as they got in the elevator, it was still Chen Xueqi who first asked Su Changfeng, ”How did you meet Cheng Shi?”

”Why should I explain to you?” Su Changfeng replied coldly.

Seeing Su Changfeng’s cold demeanor, Chen Xueqi’s anger instantly rose. She didn’t believe Su Changfeng had the right to act so coldly toward her; even if his relationship with Cheng Shi was exceptionally good, what of it? Chen Xueqi didn’t care about Shi, what she valued was the Waterfront Real Estate chairman who hadn’t appeared.

”People like you probably think that just because you know some big shots, you can disregard others?” Chen Xueqi said.

Su Changfeng smiled wryly, saying, ”From start to finish, the one ignoring others should be you, right? How come now I’m the one? From the first day we met, you didn’t take me to heart. We have no personal grievances, yet you’ve acted aloof and now criticize me?”

”I have the means to act like this, but do you?” Chen Xueqi replied, raising her head high.

Su Changfeng glanced at Chen Xueqi out the corner of his eye and said, ”Your means come from your looks and your figure, but compared to my friend staying at my house now, do you think you can match her? Do you really believe all men want to be with you?”
