The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 978: Chapter 977: Elder Wu, the Charlatan

”I...”

”Old man, the wind on this mountain top is giving me a headache, I’d better head back first.” As soon as Ye Changfeng finished speaking, he turned and prepared to leave.

The old man was about to speak again, but Ye Changfeng was already leaving. The old man stood there dumbfounded, staring at Ye Changfeng’s back before finally reacting.

”I’ve been waiting for you here in the wind all morning with my old bones, and young people nowadays can’t even withstand a bit of wind, unlike my old bones.” The old man muttered to himself. As he finished speaking, he sneezed again.

The cold wind swept through again, causing the old man to shiver and hurriedly pull at his clothes.

Ye Changfeng followed the path back home. Zhao Xiaona and Chen Qing’er were busy in the kitchen. If it were summer, preparing breakfast at this time wouldn’t be unusual, but now, in the cold weather, it seemed unnecessary to prepare it so early.

”Sister Zhao, in this cold weather, you’ve woken up to make breakfast! You don’t have to get up so early.” Ye Changfeng said to Zhao Xiaona.

Zhao Xiaona smiled slightly and said, ”In case someone gets up suddenly, it’s wonderful to have a hot breakfast ready. I’ve made porridge, come and have some.”

Just as Ye Changfeng was about to get some porridge, he heard someone constantly ringing the doorbell outside.

This early in the morning, who could it be?

Mo Yang’s image flashed in Ye Changfeng’s mind. After all, in this winter weather, early in the morning, only he would have the courage to visit.

So, Ye Changfeng went to open the door himself, but upon opening it, he was a bit dumbfounded.

Because standing in front of him wasn’t Zhu Lie, but the old man he had just spoken with on the mountain top.

In this villa area, unless invited by the owner, guests generally can’t wander around freely. If this old man lived in the villa area, he should know the rules, so why was he coming to see him?

”Grandpa, what’s going on?” Ye Changfeng asked the old man, puzzled.

”Young people nowadays are really impatient. I hadn’t finished speaking, and you had already rushed down the mountain.” The old man immediately chastised Ye Changfeng.

”Oh, I see. So, Grandpa, what did you want to say? You can tell me now.” Ye Changfeng said, even more confused. Listening to the old man, it seemed like he had specifically waited for him on the mountain top, but if he truly waited for him, he should have known who he was, so why was he speaking to him like this?

”Could you let me into your house? It’s freezing outside, and my old bones can’t handle this cold wind.” The old man said.

Ye Changfeng felt a bit helpless; this old man had quite an odd temper. Just now he said he was fine, but now he complained about the cold. Furthermore, he chose to go to the mountain top himself, what did it have to do with him? It sounded as though he blamed him for his misery.

”Alright, come into my home.” Ye Changfeng opened the door, giving way for the old man.

As the old man entered the living room, Zhao Xiaona had just placed the rice porridge on the dining table. It was meant for Ye Changfeng, but the old man sat down and began eating as though it were his home.

Zhao Xiaona glanced at Ye Changfeng, puzzled.

Ye Changfeng instructed Zhao Xiaona to tend to other matters, telling her not to worry about them. Zhao Xiaona didn’t say anything further.

”Indeed, when it’s cold, one really should have something warm to drink.” The old man remarked, hurriedly picking up the spoon to continue eating.

Daring to act so presumptuously in his own home, Ye Changfeng wasn’t sure of the old man’s identity. After all, in Jiang City nowadays, who didn’t know who Ye Changfeng was? Anyone who met him was polite and courteous, unlike this old man.

Seeing the old man finish a bowl of porridge, Ye Changfeng asked, ”Old man, what exactly do you want from me?”

Hearing Ye Changfeng ask him suddenly, the old man seemed spirited, regaining that mountain-top demeanor. But his sudden shift made Ye Changfeng feel he was dealing with a con artist, preparing to deceive him.

”If you could change the world, how would you envision it?” The old man stroked his beard and asked.

Listening to this, Ye Changfeng indeed felt he was a con artist, thinking this old man was about to deceive him, he didn’t want to converse further.

”Grandpa, if you want to change the world, you should first look at the myriad aspects of this world.” As soon as Ye Changfeng finished speaking, he opened the door.

Intending to hear Ye Changfeng’s insights, the old man walked to the door and asked, ”What is your insight? Feel free to share.”

”Stand outside for a moment,” Ye Changfeng said calmly.

The old man didn’t doubt him, stepping out to stand outside.

The next moment, Ye Changfeng shut the door with a bang.

The old man, struck with disbelief, exclaimed, ”What is this...”

Zhao Xiaona asked Ye Changfeng, ”Is that old man someone from the nearby villas?”

”He might just be a street hustler. If he dares come here again, don’t open the door, just have the security drive him away.” Ye Changfeng instructed casually.

Zhao Xiaona nodded slightly, silently taking note.

Outside the villa, the old man looked at the closed door, mildly amused and helpless. As the Tuo Shi guide, he’d now been shut out by a young brat. If Tianqi heard about this, he’d surely be laughed at.

”Luckily, no one knows about it. This young man is bound to suffer for this someday,” the old man said, then stepped on the path home, grumbling about Ye Changfeng and the troublesome Tuo Shi.

Ye Changfeng, after having a bowl of porridge, gradually warmed and returned to his bedroom. At this time, Shen Hanxue was awake, feeding milk to Sunian.

This little girl was probably very hungry, eating in large gulps, her face expressing joy, making her extremely cute.

The sun gradually emerged from the east, casting warm sunlight on the bodies. Outside the villa, the parking lot had filled with luxury cars, with no extra parking spaces available. Some had already arrived, so parked their cars midway up the hill and walked up.
