The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 991: Chapter 990: Shen Hanxue’s Soft-Heartedness

Regarding this matter, Su Changfeng was very clear. When Shen Hanxue hesitated to answer the phone initially, everything was already clear.

After Su Changfeng left, Shen Zhenbang spoke to Shen Hanxue with much emotion, saying, “Everyone’s been quite busy lately, and I haven’t gathered with your father for a long time. Taking advantage of Sunian’s hundred-day banquet, let’s have a good talk. After all, we are blood relatives.”

“Alright then, Uncle. Sunian’s hundred-day banquet is scheduled for a week from now, but the specific hotel hasn’t been decided yet. Once we select a hotel, I’ll have my father inform you,” Han Xue said.

“Hmm, hmm, hmm,” Shen Zhenbang said excitedly. He didn’t expect Han Xue to agree, so when he heard she was willing to let him come, his heart was all aflutter.

“Uncle, if there’s nothing else, let’s end the call. Sunian just woke up and is crying now,” Han Xue said coolly.

“Alright, alright, don’t keep Sunian waiting. Go check on her,” Shen Zhenbang expressed with apparent concern.

Shen Zhenbang took a few deep breaths and said to Li Wei, “Han Xue just told me that Sunian’s hundred-day banquet is scheduled for a week from now, but the hotel hasn’t been confirmed yet. They’ll inform me once it’s decided.”

“As expected, the older, the wiser. You can accomplish more traveling alone than we can. Now everything is negotiable, and attending Sunian’s banquet means we have a chance,” Li Wei said with a smile. Nowadays, he didn’t think ingratiating himself with Su Changfeng would be disgraceful and had forgotten all the unsightly things he’d done to him in the past.

Meanwhile, at the Ye Family villa…

Chen Qingqing had an important daily task: training every day. After learning the martial arts routine taught by Huo Tian, she practiced diligently. She had become quite proficient and started to better understand her body, able to control it more precisely. Although she was still far from being an expert, handling a group of people was no issue for her.

“Brother Changfeng.” Chen Qingqing called out when she saw Su Changfeng standing there watching her training.

In Chen Qingqing’s eyes, Su Changfeng was her Savior, someone she owed her life to, and she was willing to repay him, even at the cost of her own life. Not only because Su Changfeng had helped her achieve her current life but also because of her mother, Zhao Xiaona.

Chen Qingqing knew her mother Zhao Xiaona had been mistreated and even beaten, but Su Changfeng had saved her mother, paying a huge sum to buy her back from those people, allowing Zhao Xiaona to work at the Ye Family with a salary higher than any other household. More importantly, Su Changfeng never treated Zhao Xiaona as a servant and was always polite to her, unlike those idle rich kids. When Sun Mei bullied her, Su Changfeng was even willing to speak up for Zhao Xiaona.

Each of these actions was worth Chen Qingqing’s life in return for Su Changfeng.

“Qingqing, how have you been feeling about the training lately?” Su Changfeng asked.

“It’s been going well. Initially, I felt strange, like it was always opposing me, and I couldn’t control it at all. But after some time training, I feel I can control it gradually,” Chen Qingqing explained to Su Changfeng in full detail.

Chen Qingqing didn’t understand why her body suddenly had this mystical power, nor did she want to know. Huo Tian once said that the strength within her body could one day help Su Changfeng. Hearing this, Chen Qingqing no longer questioned anything else because, for her, simply being able to help Su Changfeng was enough. She didn’t care about anything else.

“Brother Changfeng, I haven’t thanked you yet,” Chen Qingqing suddenly expressed her gratitude to Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng was puzzled and asked, “Why bring this up out of the blue? These matters happened long ago; there’s no need to thank me again.”

Chen Qingqing shook her head and said, “Brother Changfeng, it’s not about me. I want to thank you because of what you did for my mother. Without you, who knows where she’d be now? Not only did you give her a high salary, but you were also willing to stand up to Sun Mei for her. How can I not thank you?”

Su Changfeng smiled and said, “What I did was just my duty. Besides, your mother did nothing wrong; Sun Mei was just causing trouble.”

“Others wouldn’t have stood up for my mother; they wouldn’t want to cross their future mother-in-law,” Chen Qingqing joked.

“Haha, if you want to thank me, then train well and strive to become stronger. When the time is right, I’ll take you to a world you’ve never been to,” Su Changfeng said softly.

Chen Qingqing nodded heavily and said seriously, “Brother Changfeng, I’ll follow your advice and let you take me to see the outside world.”

The sun slowly set in the west, and the moon emerged from beyond the horizon.

The night slowly unfolded, and the villa was fully lit.

By now, it was already ten in the evening. Su Changfeng sat at his desk, looking at the documents with deep regret.

Since getting his hands on these documents, he’d been looking through them for hours. More importantly, it wasn’t just Su Changfeng; Ji Hong and Ye Qingtian, from the middle-aged group in the family, had also joined in, as did Zhao Xiaona, who hadn’t read much before.

“This hotel doesn’t look good.”

“This place isn’t spacious enough.”

“The dishes aren’t good; they look like they belong on a street stall.”

“This is too old-fashioned; it doesn’t match the vibe of our little princess Sunian.”

“It lacks a classical style; it doesn’t fit.”

Because their tastes varied and everyone had their own opinions, many hotels were instantly eliminated.

Exhausted, Su Changfeng lay back in his chair. If he’d known earlier that this would be the situation, he wouldn’t have confidently taken on the task. He would’ve let Zhu Lie handle it, sparing himself the headache now of feeling overwhelmed looking at everything.
