The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1032: Chapter 1031: Paying Respects to Shangguan Feihong

”Changfeng, what’s going on with you?” Ye Qingtian looked at Su Changfeng sitting in the living room, shaking his leg occasionally and looking around, feeling a bit worried that it might not be long before he leaves for Tianqi. He wanted to comfort him. ”Grandpa, I’m fine, nothing’s wrong.” Su Changfeng was embarrassed to admit that he was nervous because Shen Hanxue was planning a surprise for him, so he replied evasively.

Ye Qingtian smiled and said to Su Changfeng, ”Even if you’re worried about the future, it’s human nature. There’s no need to be embarrassed to admit it. I think at this time, anyone facing such a choice would feel restless. But Tianqi is different from the mundane world; your vision will broaden, and you’ll get to meet more powerful people. Joining Tianqi is truly a great opportunity.”

Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng felt that Ye Qingtian had misunderstood, but he didn’t plan to explain much to him. However, this was a private matter between him and Shen Hanxue. Even though Su Changfeng was his family, he was too embarrassed to reveal it, so he decided to let Ye Qingtian continue to misunderstand.

”Grandpa, I think I can handle anything. Even if there are many difficulties ahead, I’ll face them head-on.” Su Changfeng said confidently.

”From a young age, you’ve never disappointed me. You’re the most outstanding among the Ye Family descendants. I’m very assured about that, but there’s something I need you to handle right now.” Ye Qingtian said.

”Grandpa, what is it? Just tell me.” Su Changfeng asked with a frown, sensing from Ye Qingtian’s tone that it was something important and possibly difficult.

”It’s about Shangguan Feihong. Shangguan Feihong, after all, is your biological grandmother. Even though she did many foolish things, making your life hard over the years, she’s gone now. I thought you should let bygones be bygones.” Ye Qingtian patted Su Changfeng on the shoulder as he spoke.

Even though Su Changfeng was broad-minded and didn’t hold grudges easily, he could not let go of his hatred for Shangguan Feihong. Her psychological impact on him wasn’t something that could be erased easily.

However, since his grandfather had said so, he couldn’t refuse the request.

”Grandpa, how do you want me to handle it?” Su Changfeng asked, frowning.

”Shangguan Sichen is in Jiang City right now, so I thought it would be a good opportunity for the whole family to visit the cemetery together.” Ye Qingtian said. In fact, Ye Qingtian didn’t want to go either. The arrangement was made because Shangguan Sichen was in Jiang City now. She was Shangguan Sichen’s sister, the eldest daughter of the Shangguan Family. Shangguan Feihong always held a grudge because she felt like a pawn expelled from the Shangguan Family. That’s why she believed the nonsense from fortune-tellers, believing Ye Weijun could lead the Ye Family to better development.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Shangguan Feihong even wanted the prosperous Ye Family to compete with the Shangguan Family to prove Shangguan Sichen’s decision was wrong.

But fate had other plans. She shouldn’t have believed the fortune-teller because Ye Weijun was just a rich second generation who couldn’t bear the responsibility of developing the Ye Family. The person with real imperial potential was the one she hated the most.

Su Changfeng hesitated for a long time without speaking because he hated Shangguan Feihong too deeply. Since her suicide, he couldn’t stand hearing her name, let alone the idea of paying respects. He rejected it from the bottom of his heart.

But since his grandfather was being considerate, refusing would hurt his pride. So, Su Changfeng thought he might as well go pay respects. After all, she’s dead.

After a while, Su Changfeng finally spoke, ”Grandpa, I’ll do as you say.”

”Changfeng, I know asking you to pay respects to Shangguan Feihong is hard for you to accept. Just do it as a favor to me this time.” Ye Qingtian was happy when Su Changfeng agreed, but also felt sorry for him. He knew that if it weren’t for him, Su Changfeng wouldn’t willingly pay respects to Shangguan Feihong.

Su Changfeng waved his hand without responding to Ye Qingtian.

”I know she’s been cruel, especially to you, but hateful people have their pitiable aspects. After being abandoned by the Shangguan Family, she hoped to make the Ye Family prosper through Ye Weijun, intending for him to take on the responsibility of competing with the Shangguan Family. She poured her heart into nurturing Ye Weijun. Her biggest mistake was listening to the fortune-teller and choosing the wrong person.” Ye Qingtian said with a sigh.

Choosing the wrong person?

Su Changfeng found those words amusing but did not get angry or argue with Ye Qingtian.

”Yes, grandpa, I understand. I’ll follow your arrangements.” Su Changfeng sighed deeply.

”Alright, Changfeng, it’s getting late. Go back to your room and rest early.” As soon as Ye Qingtian finished speaking, he stood up from the sofa with his cane and returned to his room.

Su Changfeng continued sitting on the sofa obediently because he just checked his phone and had not received any messages from Shen Hanxue, which meant he couldn’t leave yet.

Just then, Chen Qingqing returned to the living room from the backyard and saw Su Changfeng sitting alone. She approached him.

”Brother Changfeng, it’s really late now, why are you still not going to your room to sleep?” Chen Qingqing asked, puzzled.

”Well... I don’t really know what I’m waiting for, just that I need to wait for a while.” Su Changfeng replied.

Chen Qingqing was even more confused. Why was he waiting, and for what?

But since it was Su Changfeng’s own matter, it was his right to do as he pleased. She was in no position to comment, so Chen Qingqing simply said, ”Brother Changfeng, it’s been a long day, I’ll head to my room to sleep first. You should rest early once you’re done.”

Just as Chen Qingqing was about to leave, a thought struck Su Changfeng, and he asked her, ”Chen Qingqing, have you had any headaches recently?”

This question was prompted by his memory of a period when he experienced severe headaches without finding a cause. This happened after he brought back two bones, leading him to think that if Chen Qingqing’s power source was the same as his, she might experience the same symptoms.
