The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 882: Chapter 881: Leaving Without Checking the Almanac

Hearing Su Changfeng’s straightforward answer, without even a moment of thought, Yue Qingshan was furious. She grabbed a knife and pointed it at Su Changfeng, saying, ”Su Changfeng, you don’t like me, yet you dare to secretly watch me.”

Su Changfeng found himself in a difficult situation; after all, he was a young man full of vigor, and Yue Qingshan usually dressed rather casually. Sometimes, she would come out in her pajamas right after a bath. It was completely normal for him to glance occasionally. If it were someone else, they might have already been conquered by Yue Qingshan.

”Yue Qingshan, everything can be discussed nicely, don’t be so impulsive,” Su Changfeng said with a smile.

Looking at Su Changfeng’s sly appearance, Yue Qingshan was definitely prepared to take the next step.

”Do you find my legs attractive?” Yue Qingshan said as she lightly lifted her skirt, slowly revealing her fair legs as the fabric rose.

This put Su Changfeng in a spot, what could he say? If he said Yue Qingshan’s legs were not attractive, that would be lying with eyes wide open. But if he confirmed her legs were attractive, it would surely upset Han Xue if she found out.

Just as Su Changfeng was caught in a dilemma, there was suddenly a noise from outside — the sound of the doorbell.

Upon hearing the doorbell, Su Changfeng felt a rush of relief, not knowing who had come by to save him. However, outwardly, he maintained his composure and said seriously to Yue Qingshan, ”Qi Luo, it seems someone is here to see me. Go and check who it is.”

Yue Qingshan rolled her eyes at Su Changfeng, turned, and walked to the door, not even putting down the fruit knife she was holding, and opened the door with a displeased look.

Standing outside was An Shiwen, holding both hands full of gifts for Su Changfeng.

Ever since Su Changfeng got injured, An Shiwen frequently visited his place, being exceptionally attentive.

An Shiwen, seeing the angry Yue Qingshan at the door holding a knife, was taken aback and hastily stepped back.

”Miss Yue, why are you holding a knife? I haven’t done anything to provoke you usually; please don’t think of harming me,” An Shiwen said in a panic.

Although the Zhou Family’s influence wasn’t as strong as his, Yue Qingshan had recently gotten close to Su Changfeng. Though he was still unsure of their relationship, he knew that since there were unclear ties with Su Changfeng, he should be cautious not to offend Yue Qingshan.

”You came at a time you shouldn’t have, ringing that doorbell of yours, offending me,” Yue Qingshan said coldly.

An Shiwen, seeing the coldness in Yue Qingshan’s eyes and a hint of anger, became even more frightened and took a few steps back.

An Shiwen thought to himself, perhaps she was just doing something with Su Changfeng, and he had just interrupted them at the wrong moment, ruining their good time?

”Miss Yue, I’ll leave, I’ll leave now! You continue as if I had never come!” An Shiwen hurriedly put down the things he brought, preparing to leave.

Hearing An Shiwen preparing to leave, Su Changfeng sitting in the room was displeased and yelled, ”An Shiwen, don’t you dare leave.”

Hearing Su Changfeng calling him and then seeing Yue Qingshan with a knife, An Shiwen found himself in a bind, unable to offend either of them. Should he leave or stay?

”Brother Changfeng, don’t let your disputes torture me, a small fry. Should I stay or should I go?” An Shiwen asked Su Changfeng, his voice eliciting sympathy.

Su Changfeng slowly moved to the door, glanced at An Shiwen, and said indifferently, ”I think the weather is nice today; why don’t you bring out my wheelchair? I want to go out and enjoy some sun.”

Hearing this, An Shiwen felt relieved, though he glanced at Yue Qingshan standing at the door impeding the way. He felt a chill again.

An Shiwen thought to himself, did he forget to check his fortune today? What kind of misfortunes were these?

Even though Su Changfeng was being pushed out in a wheelchair, the entire circle was abuzz with his reappearance, with various parties eager to gather information to see what would happen next.

They were all well aware that the struggle between Su Changfeng and Ye Litian was far from over, possibly just beginning. Although they previously doubted that Su Changfeng had the capability to rival Ye Litian, the fact that one An Yufei by his side could intimidate Ye Litian implied Su Changfeng did have the ability to confront Ye Litian.

People in these circles loved watching drama unfold, and even wealthy noble family scions were eager to witness the clash between these two titans, though their interests weren’t just for entertainment.

To them, Ye Litian was an indomitable legend, one that no one could defeat, perhaps only fate itself could claim his life. At that time, a new ruler would arise on this land.

However, Su Changfeng’s sudden emergence was shifting the dynamics of this land’s power holders.

For those in these circles, it’s most critical now to align themselves according to the current situation. A single misstep and the entire family might vanish from these lands, such was the reality.

”Brother Changfeng, do you know that you are now the center of attention? They are all waiting for you to beat Ye Litian and become the new voice on this land.” An Shiwen said while pushing the wheelchair for Su Changfeng.

”This land, a new voice?” Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng’s lips curled slightly as he said softly, ”Are they not afraid that I might torture them to death once I rise?”

Indeed, as the saying goes, each new emperor brings new courtiers; establishing new rule often requires sacrifices, with examples set by chickens to scare monkeys. However, single-handedly confronting Ye Litian was not enough to establish absolute authority. If Su Changfeng wishes to expand in this region, he’ll surely step on many people’s interests, possibly earning resistance. Thus, An Shiwen’s words were not entirely credible.

If someone were to disrupt Ye Litian’s era, promising greater benefits, that would be believable. However, the emergence of new authority invariably impacts their interests to some extent.

”Of course, they are terrified; I’ve heard from unofficial sources that many families have devised all kinds of plans just to win your favor,” An Shiwen said with a smile.

Indeed, An Shiwen wasn’t entirely incorrect; many families in this region have held family meetings, planning strategies to prepare for any eventuality.
