The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Upon hearing Ye Tian mention Su Changfeng, Shangguan Feihong’s expression instantly darkened, with obvious disdain in her eyes.

”Why bother with him? It’d be best if he just died out there!” the old lady said angrily.

At these words, Ye Tian’s heart skipped a beat. Naturally, he was unaware of what had happened before, so he felt a bit at a loss regarding the old lady’s words and realized the seriousness of the matter.

He glanced at Ji Hong beside him, clearly hoping she would explain what had transpired while he was unaware.

Ji Hong sighed helplessly and had no choice but to recount the situation to Ye Tian.

After listening, Ye Tian immediately burst into anger. As a junior, Su Changfeng dared to provoke his elders like this, which was simply too much. But when he learned that even Huo Tian couldn’t defeat Su Changfeng, a flash of disbelief crossed his eyes.

It’s known that over the years, Huo Tian has played the role of the Ye Family’s guardian deity. His skills are such that few in the vast Capital City can compete against him. How could Su Changfeng, just a teen, defeat Huo Tian? It was simply beyond belief.

”You’re not lying to me, are you? How could Huo Tian possibly not be a match for Chang Feng?” Ye Tian asked.

”Do I need to lie to you? Everyone saw it with their own eyes at the time,” Ji Hong replied, unable to understand how Su Changfeng had become so powerful all at once. However, facts are facts; just because she didn’t believe it didn’t mean it wasn’t true.

Of course, there was another who found this hard to fathom—Huo Tian.

Recently, he too had been pondering over it. All along, he had personally trained Su Changfeng, so he was naturally confident in Su Changfeng’s abilities. But Su Changfeng’s recent performance completely exceeded his comprehension. He couldn’t even gauge the current extent of Su Changfeng’s power, and it was only upon realizing this that Huo Tian truly felt fear.

Could it be that Su Changfeng unwittingly received guidance from a master, or did he suddenly gain some sort of miraculous transformation like in TV dramas, leading to such a drastic change?

However, TV dramas are ultimately just that, dramas. How could such things be true?

”Why even mention him? All he does is talk back. This time, it would be best if he died out there, saving our Ye Family from embarrassment!” Shangguan Feihong said with an unpleasant expression.

The old lady had spoken, so Ye Tian naturally didn’t dare to bring up Su Changfeng again.

”By the way, the business conference is about to start. How are your preparations going?” Shangguan Feihong asked Ye Tian.

”Mom, don’t worry. I’ve arranged everything. I believe after this conference, the Ye Family will surely rise again. I’ll show everyone that even if Dad is no longer here, the Ye Family is still not to be trifled with,” Ye Tian said.

After Han Tianyang passed away, the Ye Family’s status was no longer what it used to be. Therefore, Ye Tian planned to use this opportunity to show everyone that their Ye Family, just like before, is still superior.

”Alright, I’ll be there to see just how many are getting restless and looking to meddle with our Ye Family,” Shangguan Feihong said coldly.

Ye Tian was slightly stunned upon hearing this, as his original plan did not include Shangguan Feihong. Moreover, he knew her temperament well; the old lady was fiery and stubborn. If she really went, she’d probably stir up a lot of trouble.

”Mom, I’ll handle this. You should stay home and rest,” Ye Tian said.

Shangguan Feihong glanced at Ye Tian, raising an eyebrow as she asked, ”Why, do you mean to say the Ye Family no longer needs me and you can manage everything on your own now?”

”Mom, you misunderstand, I really didn’t mean anything by it,” Ye Tian quickly explained.

”Really? Since that’s the case, I’ll be sure to be there,” With that, Shangguan Feihong turned to look at Ye Weijun, and her icy gaze softened instantly as she continued, ”Not only will I be attending, but I’ll also bring along my precious grandson. He’s never attended such events before, and I must let everyone see the future Family Head of our Ye Family. Let them all know that not only have we not fallen, but we’re also going to thrive even more.”

From Shangguan Feihong’s actions, it was clear how much she doted on Ye Weijun. Even her own son was not nearly as important.

Ye Tian sighed helplessly. Since it was something Shangguan Feihong had decided, he didn’t have the right to refuse, so he could only nod, indicating he understood.

After greeting Shangguan Feihong, Ye Tian planned to head to the company, and Ji Hong followed him.

Though she also felt that the previous incident was Su Changfeng’s fault, no matter what, he was still her son. She naturally wouldn’t be as indifferent as Shangguan Feihong was towards Su Changfeng.

”I think you should send someone to find out where Chang Feng is now. It would be bad if anything unexpected happened,” Ji Hong advised Ye Tian.

Ye Tian nodded, responding carelessly, ”Alright, I’ll look into it. But that kid is getting more and more out of hand. He really needs to be taught a lesson. Let him suffer a bit outside, it’s nothing. Besides, where can he go after leaving the Ye Family? He’ll probably be back soon.”

Actually, Ji Hong felt the same way, but since Su Changfeng was her flesh and blood, there was no way she could be completely devoid of feelings.

”Listen to what you’re saying, he’s your own son. Are you really comfortable with him being out there alone?” Ji Hong looked at Ye Tian with some dissatisfaction.

Ye Tian chuckled, speaking helplessly, ”Don’t overthink it, nothing will happen. He’s probably just being rebellious and will come back after a few days. He’s already a teenager; we can’t pamper him forever, can we?”

”Ha, pampered? Who’s pampered him? In the eyes of everyone in the Ye Family, there’s only Ye Weijun,” Ji Hong said helplessly.

”Sigh, I can’t do anything about this. Who dares to ignore the old lady’s words? Anyway, I have things to attend to, just don’t say such things in front of the old lady. If she hears, she certainly won’t give you a good face,” Ye Tian said.

With no choice, Ji Hong nodded, hoping Su Changfeng left home only out of a momentary anger and would return once he had calmed down.

Upon returning, Ji Hong couldn’t avoid Shangguan Feihong’s questioning: ”What? Did you go to badmouth me to Ye Tian again?”

Ji Hong’s expression changed instantly, hurriedly explaining, ”Mom, what are you thinking? I was just telling Ye Tian to be careful. I am his wife, isn’t that my duty? Besides, how could I ever speak ill of you?”
