The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 959: Chapter 958: Preparing to Return to Jiang City

Shangguan Wenchuan originally thought that he would need to spend more time and effort to seek out Su Changfeng’s help. After all, he hadn’t been very friendly towards Su Changfeng before, and even contemplated killing him. Moreover, being the head of the Shangguan Family that possesses immense wealth meant being able to control such assets, which is a great temptation for anyone.

However, Shangguan Wenchuan never expected that Su Changfeng would be so indifferent, even dismissive about it. He couldn’t understand Su Changfeng’s mind, nor why someone like Su Changfeng could be so unconcerned with money.

Nonetheless, Shangguan Wenchuan was aware that he had gained a lot from this battle. From the current perspective, he had achieved his long-cherished dreams, surpassing both Shangguan Xuanjie and Shangguan Yunjie considerably. After all, they were both dead, and what could the dead gain?

Su Changfeng had just returned, and little Sunian might have only realized that her father went out without her, and started crying.

After returning, Su Changfeng hurried to comfort little Sunian, checking if she was uncomfortable or hungry.

Yue Qingshan watched Su Changfeng with admiration in her heart. Sometimes she wished she could be that child in Su Changfeng’s arms, being held and comforted like this. Or she’d think, if Sunian were the product of love between her and Su Changfeng, how wonderful their family of three would be. But reality remained, and these were merely her fantasies.

”Sister Zhao, pack the things to take with us, we’ll be heading back to Jiang City in a few days,” Su Changfeng instructed Zhao Xiaona while holding Sunian.

Zhao Xiaona was thrilled to hear they were going back home and quickly responded, ”Alright, alright, I’ll pack immediately.”

However, while Zhao Xiaona was delighted, Yue Qingshan’s face was exceptionally gloomy. She had always known that Su Changfeng would leave Cowpen District around this time, but she never expected it would be so soon.

For Su Changfeng, now that Shangguan Sichen had withdrawn the order, he was a free man and had his daughter back. He was determined to return to Jiang City as soon as possible because he knew someone was waiting for him there, waiting for him to bring his daughter back. To Su Changfeng, everything that happened in Cowpen District was ultimately just a fleeting dream.

”Leaving in a few days? But there are still many matters in Cowpen District waiting for your decision!” said Yue Qingshan with some sadness to Su Changfeng.

Before Sunian arrived, Su Changfeng indeed intended to have Chen Hai help arrange and control Cowpen District. However, to Su Changfeng now, those matters held no value or significance.

”I’ll head back first. I’ll let Chen Hai stay here for a few days, and with Chen Hai and An Shiwen managing Cowpen District, it will suffice.” Su Changfeng said nonchalantly.

”Without your presence here, Cowpen District will become chaotic.” Yue Qingshan expressed concern.

Of course, these were all excuses from Yue Qingshan. Even if the sky fell in Cowpen District, it was irrelevant to her. She cared if Su Changfeng could continue to stay here.

Naturally, Su Changfeng understood Yue Qingshan’s mind. He was well aware that her concern was not about Cowpen District’s future, but her hope that he would remain.

So Su Changfeng said, ”Jiang City is quite scenic. If you want to see it again, you can come with me.”

Upon hearing this, Yue Qingshan didn’t feel tempted, and she shook her head hurriedly. Indeed, Yue Qingshan didn’t want to go to Jiang City. She didn’t have the courage to face Shen Hanxue, so she couldn’t possibly follow Su Changfeng to Jiang City. After all, the man she deeply loved was her good friend’s husband.

”I think I will never step foot in Jiang City again.” Yue Qingshan said sadly.

Su Changfeng was somewhat surprised at this, and said casually, ”Shen Hanxue would surely feel sad hearing that. But even if you don’t go to Jiang City to find them, he and Lin Qingmeng would definitely come looking for you, and you’d still meet.”

”If they do come looking for me, then I certainly won’t meet them.” Yue Qingshan replied sorrowfully.

”If you think this gives you peace, you can act accordingly. After all, not meeting doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad thing.” Su Changfeng said while looking at Yue Qingshan.

”Will there be a chance for us to meet again?” Yue Qingshan blinked as she asked Su Changfeng.

”I think... it’s better if we don’t meet.” Su Changfeng lowered his head and looked at his daughter as he spoke to Yue Qingshan.

Yue Qingshan tried her best to hold back tears and pretended to be strong, saying with a smile to Su Changfeng, ”Well, I wish you a smooth journey back to Jiang City and hope you return to Shen Hanxue soon.”

After she finished speaking, Yue Qingshan ran out, leaving Su Changfeng’s house.

In the living room, Zhao Xiaona was packing and saw Yue Qingshan running out abruptly, feeling quite helpless. Zhao Xiaona understood why Yue Qingshan had stayed by Su Changfeng’s side for so long. She knew Yue Qingshan loved Su Changfeng deeply, even with a kind of love for only one person in life. Nevertheless, while marveling at Yue Qingshan’s feelings for Su Changfeng, Zhao Xiaona admired Su Changfeng.

After all, with such a beautiful woman like Yue Qingshan offering herself so deeply, many men would succumb to temptation.

Yet, Su Changfeng was different; no matter how much Yue Qingshan expressed her affection, he continually refused.

”Now, I truly don’t know whether to praise you or not.” Zhao Xiaona said somewhat helplessly.

Su Changfeng heard this and asked Zhao Xiaona, ”Sister Zhao, does this mean I’ve done something wrong?”

”Not exactly, but it’s clear that Miss Yue deeply likes you, with a profound love, yet you’ve refused her repeatedly, hurting her. However, if you didn’t do this, you would hurt Shen Hanxue. For a while, I don’t know whether to praise you or not.” Zhao Xiaona explained.

”These are irrelevant to me. My sole concern is Shen Hanxue, and if I don’t refuse Yue Qingshan, it would surely hurt Shen Hanxue.” Su Changfeng said.
