The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

”Shen Rushuang will probably be very sad when she returns, you’re really clueless about women.” Qiutang Yu’er said.

”Really? What’s she got to do with you? Didn’t you say she was clingy yesterday?” Su Changfeng replied with a smile.

Seeing Su Changfeng’s indifferent expression, Qiutang Yu’er clenched her fist tightly, but she didn’t act; she had a clear understanding of her own capabilities.

Grinding her teeth, she eventually lowered her fist and said to Su Changfeng, ”You’re like a stone that can’t be warmed. Shen Rushuang has done so much, don’t you feel anything?”

”Shen Rushuang’s intentions are not pure; do you really think she likes me?” Su Changfeng said.

”Intentions?” Qiutang Yu’er asked, puzzled.

”You’ll find out soon enough.” Su Changfeng said with a smile.

”Soon? What do you mean?” Qiutang Yu’er frowned, feeling that this guy was just being mysterious.

Su Changfeng didn’t say anything; he just smiled and continued to tend to his plants.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door from outside.

Noticing the commotion outside, Su Changfeng smiled and said to Qiutang Yu’er, ”Here they come.”

Qiutang Yu’er still didn’t understand, she looked at Su Changfeng strangely and went to open the door.

Outside stood the Shen family father and son. Upon seeing Shen Yunlong, Qiutang Yu’er couldn’t help but frown; what’s with this guy, barely escaped with his life, now coming back to cause trouble?

Previously, Su Changfeng had made it very clear that if it weren’t for Wang Junyi saving his life, this guy would have been dead long ago, and he still dares to come here? Does he have a death wish?

”If you want to live, get lost quickly, otherwise, you’ll regret it too late.” Qiutang Yu’er said coldly.

”You’re misunderstanding. We’re not here to cause trouble this time, we just want to apologize to Su Changfeng. What happened before was our fault, we hope he can forgive us.” Shen Yunlong said.

Compared to his previous arrogance, today Shen Yunlong had restrained himself a lot; since confirming Su Changfeng’s strength, how could he dare do anything to him?

He had also figured out that if Wang Junyi hadn’t appeared in time before, he would probably be dead.

”Apologize?” Qiutang Yu’er was slightly stunned, then responded blandly, ”No need, you can leave. It’s not like he’ll pay attention to you.”

As she spoke, Qiutang Yu’er reached out, intending to close the door, but Shen Yaowen quickly stopped her.

”Old man, what do you mean by this?” Qiutang Yu’er asked.

If anyone else dared to call Shen Yaowen ’old man’ to his face, he would have been mad, especially since it was someone like Qiutang Yu’er, a little girl. Normally, Shen Yaowen wouldn’t let her off easily, but now things were different; even Shen Yaowen had to put on a smiling face and plead, ”We wish to apologize to Su Changfeng face-to-face.”

”Yu’er, let them in.” Su Changfeng’s voice came from inside.

Reluctantly, Qiutang Yu’er opened the door, not very angry; after all, it was just two men who posed no threat to her status.

Entering, seeing Su Changfeng tending to his plants, Shen Yunlong and Shen Yaowen felt completely different; although Su Changfeng seemed no different than before, they now perceived him as profoundly mysterious, with high strength and an aura different from others.

”Why are you here? Merely to apologize or hoping I will return?” Su Changfeng asked before they spoke.

Shen Yaowen glanced at Shen Yunlong, who immediately knelt down and said to Su Changfeng, ”The previous matters were all my fault. I hope you can forgive me.”

”Shen Rushuang did the same thing as you, you should know the result by now?” Su Changfeng said blandly.

Shen Yunlong’s expression immediately changed; he truly hadn’t expected Shen Rushuang to do such a thing.

”Su Changfeng, I know the past was all the Shen family’s fault. We hope you’ll give us another chance. No matter what you wish to do, the Shen family is willing to fully support you.” Shen Yaowen said.

”The Shen Family?” Su Changfeng looked at Shen Yaowen with disdain and said, ”A mere Shen Family, do you think I’d notice it? Besides, what skills does the Shen Family have to help me?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yaowen’s expression turned sour.

Su Changfeng’s words were harsh, but Shen Yaowen couldn’t find a retort; although the Shen family was one of the three major families in Tianshui City, with Su Changfeng’s status, would he care about a little Shen family?

Whether money or status, as long as Su Changfeng was willing, he could obtain them anytime, why would he care about the likes of the Shen family?

Moreover, since City Lord Mansion’s Wang Junyi was his disciple, it meant the City Lord Mansion could help Su Changfeng too, whatever the Shen family could do, the City Lord Mansion could do the same.

”My son has an extraordinary talent; if well groomed, he certainly won’t be inferior to Wang Junyi in the future. He is willing to serve you at your word.” Shen Yaowen said, gritting his teeth.

”Hahaha...” Su Changfeng burst out laughing and said, ”Talent? Are you kidding me? In my eyes, he’s no different from trash.”

Trash?

No doubt, this word severely hit Shen Yunlong’s confidence, given that his unique talent was what had kept him going until now.

”What do you mean? Could my son possibly have less talent than Wang Junyi?” Shen Yaowen said with a grim face, never having doubted this matter. In his eyes, Shen Yunlong was several times more outstanding than Wang Junyi; whatever Wang Junyi could achieve, Shen Yunlong would do even better.

If they had the same mentor, Wang Junyi could become a Fifth Rank Expert, he believed Shen Yunlong could at least advance to Sixth Rank!

But in Su Changfeng’s eyes, Wang Junyi and Shen Yunlong were about the same; the slight differences didn’t really matter. Wang Junyi’s quick improvement in strength was entirely due to the Red Fruit.

But such things, Su Changfeng wouldn’t casually give to Shen Yunlong.

Wang Junyi and Shen Yunlong were not the same kind of people; Wang Junyi was someone much easier to control, whereas Shen Yunlong was different. Such a person, once benefitted, could betray you anytime.

But this was not the most important; the most important was Shen Yunlong’s origin from the Shen family. Su Changfeng could disregard past issues and not retaliate against them; after all, such small characters didn’t warrant his action. However, this did not mean he could forgive those past events.

To overlook them was already benevolent of him; seeking advantages from him was rather wishful thinking.
