The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 1050: Chapter 1049: Mischievous Gu Qing’er

After all, it’s almost New Year’s, the once-a-year festival, so Jiang City is unusually lively, with many migrant workers returning home and busy buying all sorts of things.

The streets are crowded and bustling like never before.

Going to the Ye Family to give gifts, that might be the privilege of being Jiang City’s number one family.

But the Gu Family, once the number one family in Jiang City, though now ranked second, still holds a significant status difference compared to those merchants. Ordinary merchants are not allowed to enter the villa, let alone meet Su Changfeng.

As for the Gu Family, those who come to deliver gifts stride arrogantly into the villa, able not only to meet Su Changfeng but also his precious treasure.

You see Gu Qing’er holding Sunian, constantly making her laugh.

With such a brother as Su Changfeng, and as his only sister, wherever Gu Qing’er wants to go is an easy task. So, for her, entering and exiting the Ye Family is no problem at all.

Once upon a time, Gu Qingwen thought Su Changfeng was not promising, but now he can’t help but feel grateful that his daughter Gu Qing’er has this sibling relationship with Su Changfeng. If it weren’t for Gu Qing’er, the Gu Family wouldn’t be doing so well now.

“Brother Changfeng, how is it that you look so plain, yet have a daughter as radiant as this? Look at those big Khaki-colored eyes, nothing like you at all.”

“Brother Changfeng, when Sunian grows up, she better not look like you, or I’m afraid no one will want her.”

“Brother Changfeng, luckily Sunian resembles Sister Hanxue more, or your genes might have influenced her to not be so pretty.”

Gu Qing’er treats Su Changfeng as her real brother, so she teases him unreservedly, often ridiculing him, though Su Changfeng isn’t bothered at all by her words.

To be honest, Gu Qing’er is just joking. In her eyes, Su Changfeng is one of a kind in this world, not only with outstanding looks, a magnanimous heart, but also the vigor of youth. If Su Changfeng wasn’t taken, she would have pursued him long ago.

“Hanxue, next time this little girl comes over, just lock the door and don’t let her in to bother me.” Su Changfeng rolled his eyes at Gu Qing’er, speaking impatiently.

Gu Qing’er gave Su Changfeng a cheeky grin and said with a hint of annoyance, “Only you would be so heartless to me. Sister Hanxue wouldn’t treat me like this.”

Su Changfeng really has no way to deal with Gu Qing’er because this little girl is so clever. Knowing that Su Changfeng listens to Shen Hanxue, she often amuses Shen Hanxue, so even threats from Su Changfeng have no effect.

“I’m not going to argue with you, it’s pointless.” Su Changfeng said calmly.

Gu Qing’er gave a cheeky smile and made a face at Su Changfeng, saying smugly, “Trying to compete with me, are you?”

Su Changfeng waved his hand, indicating he didn’t want to talk to Gu Qing’er anymore, signaling her to quiet down. Then, he took out his phone from his pocket to call Zhu Lie.

“Zhu Lie, find a place, let’s have dinner together and chat tonight.” Su Changfeng said to Zhu Lie. Su Changfeng knew that his time in Jiang City was limited. Recently, he had been spending lots of time with Shen Hanxue and Sunian, and hadn’t had a chance to drink and chat with his friends. Since he had nothing scheduled today, he thought to meet with them and also give them some instructions.

“Okay, I’ll notify them right away. It’s so cold now, how about hot pot to keep us warm? What do you think?” Zhu Lie asked Su Changfeng excitedly.

“Hot pot sounds good, go ahead and arrange it.” Su Changfeng replied with a laugh.

After Su Changfeng and Zhu Lie hung up, Zhu Lie hurriedly left Charming.

Recently, Zhu Lie heard that a new hot pot restaurant opened in Jiang City, and it’s incredibly popular, always packed, with long lines forming outside.

Many people have praised its excellent taste and great service. It’s rare to have such a well-regarded hot pot place in Jiang City.

When Zhu Lie arrived at the hot pot restaurant, he quickly attracted a lot of attention, and the receptionist quickly informed the manager, who then called Xu Xiaoyong.

These days, Zhu Lie is a favored person around Su Changfeng, and wherever he dines, he receives top-notch treatment. It’s only natural for Xu Xiaoyong to come out and greet him.

Moreover, they all wish to seize this opportunity to curry favor with Zhu Lie, hoping for a future connection with Su Changfeng.

“Boss Zhu, why didn’t you let us know ahead of time? We would have prepared a grand welcome for you.” Xu Xiaoyong said warmly to Zhu Lie, with a big smile.

“Your restaurant should stop accepting other customers for tonight. I plan to book the place.” Zhu Lie said indifferently.

Xu Xiaoyong felt troubled upon hearing this. Not to mention the revenue for the night, announcing a sudden closure would surely upset many customers. Even though Zhu Lie is prominent, if this affects the restaurant’s future, it wouldn’t be worth it.

“Boss Zhu, we have some excellent private rooms. Would you like to see them?” Although Xu Xiaoyong didn’t say it outright, his meaning was clear.

Xu Xiaoyong was cautious because he didn’t know Su Changfeng was coming. If he knew, he would agree without hesitation, but with just Zhu Lie, he didn’t want to risk his reputation.

Zhu Lie, a smart man, understood what Xu Xiaoyong meant and frowned, saying, “Hmm? Are you saying my influence isn’t enough?”

“Boss Zhu, that’s not what I meant. Our humble restaurant thrives thanks to the love of Jiang City’s patrons. We already have many reservations, and diners are currently eating. If I suddenly said the place was booked, they would spit on me with anger.” Xu Xiaoyong said awkwardly.

“Heh, you don’t want to offend them, but you think you can mess with me?” Zhu Lie snorted coldly, looking displeased.
