The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1071: Chapter 1070: The Zhou Family of Beijing

Ye Qingtian waved his hand and smiled at Su Changfeng, saying, ”Changfeng, I really like what you just said. It’s quite impressive, reminiscent of my own spirit back in the day. Now those noble families’ sons in Beijing should know that our Ye Family isn’t easy to bully.”

”Grandfather, you really praise me too much. How could I compare to you in your prime? Without you, how could I have achieved what I have today?” Su Changfeng replied modestly.

Ye Qingtian laughed heartily. He found these words very pleasing, even though he knew Su Changfeng was being humble.

At this moment, in Beijing.

Even though Su Changfeng’s words had reached the noble families’ sons, they didn’t care. Many of them held disdainful attitudes. Even if they knew Ye Qingtian was still alive, they weren’t afraid of him.

Because in their eyes, Ye Qingtian was now quite old, half-buried in the earth, and could pass away any day. He no longer had his former might. More importantly, today’s Beijing is very different from the past; the control of the Ye Family over Beijing is far less significant. They don’t even regard Ye Qingtian, let alone Su Changfeng.

”That naive boy from the Ye Family really doesn’t know his place, daring to say such things without considering his own weight.”

”Ye Weijun of the Ye Family was once held in high regard since childhood, but now? He’s nothing but a cripple. This Su Changfeng, who had a status lesser than a servant in the Ye Family, dares to speak such outrageously arrogant words. It seems Ye Qingtian is senile, completely out of control.”

”Not joking, if that Su Changfeng kid dares to come back to Beijing, I guarantee he won’t leave alive.”

”I’ve recently heard that several big families that are in conflict with the Ye Family have hired experts for protection. With so many people, how can Su Changfeng handle it by himself? He might lose his life.”

”Looks like a good show is about to start. I must go and see.”

In various big families in Beijing, they were all discussing Su Changfeng’s impending return, but they were just waiting to see him fail. None believed he could leave Beijing safely.

At this moment, in a villa in Beijing.

This villa has three floors. Being built on a mountain, each floor offers distinct scenery. Entering through the main gate is a path paved with cobblestones, flanked by stone benches lined with a variety of potted plants pleasing to the eye. The path turns left into a moon gate, leading into the courtyard of the villa’s first floor.

From the villa’s design and materials alone, one can feel a sense of grandeur. It’s not just about having money; it’s a symbol of status in Beijing.

And this villa belongs to the Zhou Family.

After Ye Chenwen passed away, they directly targeted the Ye Family because they were eager to seize the Ye Family’s assets in Beijing. So when Su Changfeng’s message reached Beijing, the Zhou Family reacted the most strongly.

”That Su Changfeng is truly arrogant, blatantly opposing us,” Zhou Qifeng said irritably.

This Zhou Qifeng is the current head of the Zhou Family. Though he sat calmly in the grand chair, his heart was anything but calm.

”Grandfather, recently, I learned that this Su Changfeng was the supposedly deceased son of the Ye Family. It turns out he was actually expelled, forced to move to Jiang City, and now plans to mount a comeback. But doesn’t the Ye Family have any intelligence? Besides, who comes back after being kicked out just to boast? Does he think he’s the Jade Emperor?” The speaker was Zhou Renjie, young but highly respected in the Zhou Family and an outstanding talent.

Previously, Zhou Qifeng tested the younger generation by giving them each five million as start-up capital for whatever they wanted to do. Zhou Renjie stood out, even impressing Zhou Qifeng, setting a new record.

Even without relying on the Zhou Family, Zhou Renjie has a significant presence in Beijing. Some estimate his personal assets to have reached hundreds of millions.

”That’s not all. I’ve heard that when he returned to Beijing, he married into a small family as a son-in-law. Many from Jiang City call him a useless son-in-law,” another junior from the Zhou family said with disdain.

This statement made many in the Zhou Family laugh.

The supposed young master of the Ye Family, even in hard times, wouldn’t need to become a live-in son-in-law. Judging by others’ remarks, he must be a useless coward.

”Regardless of what kind of trash he is, daring to provoke our Zhou Family will cost him dearly,” Zhou Qifeng said coldly, turning to the other juniors in the family.

As Zhou Qifeng spoke, the rest of the Zhou Family stopped their laughter, their expressions serious. They understood Zhou Qifeng was offering them an opportunity. Performing well could bring them closer to the position of Family Head, so they were eager to prove themselves by dealing with Su Changfeng.

In hereditary noble families like the Zhou’s, with so many heirs, the competition is ruthless, sometimes even leading to fratricide. This is not uncommon.

These families possess assets worth billions, with everyone eyeing the ultimate power. To become the Family Head, they must first gain Zhou Weiguo’s approval.

Although the younger members were eager to take on this task, Zhou Renjie remained silent, showing no intention of getting involved.

”Tianyi, why didn’t you say anything? Are you not interested in this matter?” Zhou Qifeng asked, noting Zhou Renjie’s disinterest.

From Zhou Qifeng’s tone, it was clear he valued Zhou Renjie highly.
