The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 880: Chapter 879: Zhu Lie’s Sudden Visit

Just at the moment Sun Mei was screaming, Han Xue pushed the door open and came in.

Sun Mei heard someone come in and hurriedly looked up to see who it was. When she saw Han Xue, her eyes lit up, and she struggled to crawl slowly to Han Xue’s feet.

”Han Xue, please speak on my behalf, ask him to let me go, okay? You wouldn’t watch your own mother being tortured like this, would you? I raised you after all,” Sun Mei clutched Han Xue’s calf and said.

Han Xue glanced down at Sun Mei; she was indeed his biological mother. Yet it was this same biological mother who had attacked Su Changfeng, and at that very moment, their relationship began to fade. But Sun Mei didn’t stop there; she went even further, leaving an infant less than a month old out in the freezing cold. How heartless could she be?

This kind of woman is not fit to be his mother, even though she once gave birth to him. But when had she ever treated him well?

”You don’t deserve to be my mother,” Han Xue said coldly to Sun Mei.

Then he walked to Ji Hong’s side, took Ji Hong’s hand, and said, ”Mom, the servants have prepared the meal. Let’s go down and eat quickly. It won’t taste good once it’s cold.”

Seeing Han Xue’s attitude towards him and Ji Hong, Sun Mei felt deeply pained. Now even her own daughter was treating her this way, but whom could she blame?

All of this is because of her countless evil deeds, leading to today’s situation. If she had known the outcome earlier, she would never have acted this way. But in this world, where can one find medicine for regret?

Then Ji Hong and Han Xue left the room, leaving Sun Mei alone, shrinking into one corner, her face full of bewilderment.

Sun Mei’s mind was filled with thoughts of how she had ended up like this. She didn’t blame herself for her mistakes, instead thinking of Su Changfeng, believing that everything was his doing. Without Su Changfeng, she would be living a much better life, not like a prisoner.

In the living room of the villa, at the moment they were about to eat, Zhu Lieye pushed the door open and came in, greeted Ji Hong, and then took the meal on the table as if he hadn’t eaten for a long time.

Actually, Zhu Lie’s behavior was relatively restrained, considering Ye Hong was still there. On the surface, he had to act politely because he couldn’t afford to offend the Ye Family in Jiang City, naturally exercising more restraint.

”I’ve got news about Chang Feng,” Zhu Lie said to Han Xue.

Han Xue heard the name Chang Feng and his eyes sparkled. First, he was stunned, then he reacted and hurriedly looked at Zhu Lie and asked, ”Where is Chang Feng now?”

”Whether this news is accurate, I’m not yet one hundred percent sure. Chen Hai from Bin County suddenly has urgent business to handle for some reason,” Zhu Lie said with a serious look.

Actually, Chen Hai in Zhu Lie’s words is a subordinate of Su Changfeng in Bin County. He suddenly closed his doors to guests, saying he had urgent matters to attend to. There’s a good chance it is related to Su Changfeng.

Han Xue had also met this Chen Hai before; when Su Changfeng was in Bin County, Chen Hai spared no expense, making quite a scene to personally welcome him.

If a figure like Chen Hai personally greeted Su Changfeng, it was a grand gesture for visitors from Bin County, and the people of the Sun family dared not underestimate Su Changfeng.

”Now that we know where Chang Feng is, when shall we set off to find him?” Han Xue asked eagerly.

”Sister-in-law, you don’t need to be too anxious. These are just my guesses. I’ll send someone to inquire further. Once it’s confirmed, it’s not too late to go,” Zhu Lie said earnestly.

Hearing this news, Ji Hong who was eating seemed thoughtful. Actually, she had long known where Su Changfeng was, but she didn’t want to tell Han Xue, fearing that if Han Xue went to find Su Changfeng, it would affect him more or less, which she didn’t want to see.

After finishing the meal, Zhu Lie and Han Xue exchanged a few pleasantries, and then he hurried to leave. After all, his sudden visit this time was to relay the news he had uncovered about Su Changfeng to Han Xue.

However, just as he stepped out to call his driver, Ji Hong called out after him.

Hearing Ji Hong call him suddenly made Zhu Lie unexpectedly tense, despite the fact he often visited the villa and had met Ji Hong many times. Yet, he couldn’t help but feel extremely nervous whenever he saw Ji Hong, so her calling after him left him quite bewildered.

”Ji Hong, are you looking, looking for me, is there, is there anything else?” Zhu Lie spoke nervously, stammering a bit.

But Ji Hong didn’t mind, addressing the matter directly, ”Zhu Lie, actually I have known where Chang Feng is for a while.”

Upon hearing this sentence, Zhu Lie was taken aback and asked in bewilderment, ”You’ve known for a while where Su Changfeng is, why didn’t you tell Han Xue earlier? You should know how worried she is about Chang Feng better than I do.”

”Zhu Lie, think back to when you told Han Xue about this news while eating, what her expression was like? What do you think she will do knowing this?” Ji Hong did not directly answer Zhu Lie’s question but rather asked back.

On hearing this, Zhu Lie recalled the dining scene in his mind, especially Han Xue’s expression. At that time, Han Xue’s eyes were alight, despite the news being uncertain, she was already preparing to go find Su Changfeng.

”Han Xue is preparing to look for Su Changfeng,” Zhu Lie blurted out.

Ji Hong nodded, feeling Zhu Lie wasn’t too slow to catch on, and then asked, ”Then why do you think Chang Feng hasn’t told Han Xue where he is now?”

Now that Ji Hong had said this, Zhu Lie, being perceptive, understood without needing more explanation. At this moment, he realized he hadn’t considered enough, lacking foresight in coming to relay this news to Han Xue.

Zhu Lie thought, if Su Changfeng didn’t have extremely important matters to attend to, why would he intentionally keep his whereabouts from Han Xue? Now not informing her is clearly to avoid her finding him, yet he was out seeking news to inform Han Xue.

”Alright, I know what to do; after a few days, I’ll inform Han Xue that the information gathered in these days is unreliable, letting her give up on this idea,” Zhu Lie said seriously.
