The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

For so many years, those who have always loyally followed Su Changfeng include not only Zhu Lie and the others, but also a very important person, Chen Hai. His loyalty has remained unchanged from beginning to end.

”Okay, President Ye,” Song Yang said, although the other party had no real power, he knew in his heart that the other’s status was above his own, but he didn’t dare to fuss over these things.

”His name is Chen Hai, and he’s here to retire,” Su Changfeng said.

Upon hearing this, Song Yang realized the different relationship between Chen Hai and Su Changfeng; otherwise, why would Su Changfeng care about his retirement?

Song Yang silently noted this, planning to take good care of Chen Hai when he appeared later.

After finishing these instructions, Su Changfeng and Gu Qing’er left.

Just as they left the company, Gu Qing’er gazed at Su Changfeng with a worshipful look.

Su Changfeng felt goosebumps rising and said, ”What’s with that look in your eyes?”

”Brother, you really are amazing. Just one sentence completely changed Cheng Hao’s life. Actually, the Cheng Family is just a small family, but from now on, they’ll officially enter Jiang City’s elite circle,” Gu Qing’er said with a smile.

”The Gu Family’s daughter saying this sounds a bit humble. You could achieve this with just one sentence too,” Su Changfeng couldn’t help but laugh.

Gu Qing’er pouted and said, ”Don’t joke around like that. How can our Gu Family compare to you? Even my grandpa says our Gu Family is nothing compared to you.”

”Thinking about it, I haven’t seen him for a long time. Let’s go and take a look at your place,” Su Changfeng said.

Gu Qing’er immediately became happy. Her happiest moments were when Su Changfeng visited the Gu Family. Although she no longer had those feelings for him, she was still very happy that he could visit.

The news of Su Changfeng’s return quickly spread among the various families. Upon receiving the news, they quickly reminded their families’ children to behave themselves and not cause trouble outside.

After all, there had been many cautionary tales in the past, and no one dared to let their guard down.

The Gu Family.

The Gu Family nowadays naturally didn’t have the status it once had, and there were fewer people coming and going regularly. But Gu Changsheng was indeed more at ease, without having to handle so many affairs every day, allowing him to enjoy life better.

”Dad, Qing’er seems to have brought Su Changfeng with her.” After receiving the news, Gu Qingwen hurried to Gu Changsheng’s study.

Gu Changsheng was initially taken aback, then quickly went outside to personally welcome Su Changfeng.

Soon, Gu Qing’er arrived with Su Changfeng, and Gu Changsheng’s old face broke into a wide smile.

”Chang Feng, you’ve returned?” Gu Changsheng quickly greeted.

Su Changfeng couldn’t help but sigh and complained to Gu Qing’er, ”Qing’er, look at this, there are people nowadays who don’t understand what respecting one’s teacher means.”

Gu Qing’er nodded in agreement and said, ”Brother, if that’s the case, why don’t I help you give him a good punishment? How about pulling his beard?”

Gu Changsheng quickly covered his beard, this mischievous girl, even at critical moments she wouldn’t spare her grandfather.

Seeing Gu Qing’er getting closer, Gu Changsheng very tactically said, ”Master, Master, look, I’m at such an old age, can you bear it?”

Su Changfeng couldn’t help but laugh, this old rascal, occasionally being improper, where’s the dignity of the Gu Family’s head? Not to mention being the Family Head, he hardly seems like an elder.

”Great performance, you must greet your master when you see him!” Su Changfeng said with a smile.

Gu Qingwen stood by watching, somewhat bewildered but amused. Although things seemed absurd, they demonstrated the closeness of their relationship. If it were someone else, Su Changfeng wouldn’t joke like this with him.

Gu Qingwen used to look down on Su Changfeng, doubting he could accomplish anything in Jiang City, but now he couldn’t help but feel grateful that their Gu Family could maintain good relations with Su Changfeng.

Not only having mentorship ties but also sibling ties, precisely because of this, their Gu Family could preserve its current status.

”Master, you mentioned having something to do. Why did you suddenly come back?” Gu Changsheng asked, as when Su Changfeng left, he said he had gone very far from Jiang City.

Someone like Gu Changsheng naturally wouldn’t know Su Changfeng went to Tuo Shi; he hadn’t even heard of Tuo Shi.

”Didn’t expect you to become more bewildered after just a few days. The only one who could make me come back is Han Xue!” Su Changfeng said.

Gu Changsheng immediately nodded, then asked, ”Is the mistress’s health okay?”

Speaking of Shen Hanxue, Su Changfeng’s expression became more serious, mainly because he wasn’t sure what changes might occur.

Originally, he planned to stay by Shen Hanxue’s side, but worried about being too anxious and causing problems, he decided to leave the villa.

”She will definitely get better!” Su Changfeng said.

Noticing Su Changfeng’s expression, Gu Qing’er quickly added, ”Grandpa, aren’t you stating the obvious? How could my sister be in trouble!”

Gu Changsheng knew he shouldn’t bring up the topic, so he shifted to other matters: ”Now that you’ve returned, will you be leaving again?”

”Yes,” Su Changfeng said without hesitation, ”once Hanxue’s condition stabilizes, I still have to go.”

The matter in the Outer Domain is already urgent, apart from Shen Hanxue it was the most important matter. If he couldn’t resolve it, both Shen Hanxue and Ye Nianhai would be in danger, so he must go to the Outer Domain, even if it is full of dangers, he has no reason to back down.

At times when things won’t get better by themselves, what he has to do is face them head-on, hesitating won’t make the problems disappear.

”There’s something I wonder if I should say.” Gu Changsheng suddenly said.

”Go ahead, I know you well,” Su Changfeng didn’t hold back.

”For some reason, I feel like you’re carrying a heavy burden. Maybe in your view, this matter could affect the safety of Hanxue and Niannian,” Gu Changsheng’s expression suddenly turned serious.

Su Changfeng was moved; indeed, Gu Changsheng was a sly old fox, despite knowing nothing about Tuo Shi, he could sense such things. This was not something ordinary people could do.

Su Changfeng was quite curious as to how he guessed it.

”Why do you say that?” Su Changfeng asked.

Gu Changsheng chuckled and explained, ”Niannian is still so young, you shouldn’t want to miss her growing up. But your attitude is firm enough to prove this matter is really serious.”

Su Changfeng valued emotional ties, something Gu Changsheng knew well. Having stayed in the Shen Family as a live-in son-in-law for so many years, enduring humiliation from others, all for one person: Shen Hanxue.
