Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 1973 - 302: Support from All Sides 2

Now that Zhang Lingfeng has run into trouble, who will secretly help him get young women in the future? We canʼt possibly let the second patriarch of the Zhang family handle this matter himself.

If the other three major families find out, itʼs likely that the patriarch of the Zhang family will be the first to take action against him.

”Second Patriarch, we are discussing this matter right now. We plan to bring Lingfeng back first, and then report to you,” Zhang Jianyuan said respectfully.

”Second Patriarch, you must stand up for Lingfeng!” Zhang Jiancheng threw himself to the ground, hugged the second patriarchʼs legs, and cried, his face covered in snot and tears.

The second patriarch of the Zhang family kicked Zhang Jiancheng away, disgustedly saying, ”Thereʼs no need for further discussion. I will go to Jinling myself to bring Lingfeng back and avenge him.”

”But…”

Zhang Jianyuan hesitated again. The second patriarch was one of the pillars of strength of the Zhang family.

Going to Jinling himself might not pose any danger, but it would also make it easy for others to use it as a pretext against him.

”Enough of this. Itʼs decided,” the second patriarch said impatiently, waving his hand. He looked at the people in the meeting hall and asked, ”Who wants to come with me?”

”Second Patriarch, Iʼll go with you,” five people immediately stepped forward, offering to accompany him.

They were reluctant to go to Jinling on their own, as there was no benefit to doing so. But if they followed the second patriarch, and if they served him well, perhaps they would be able to gain his favor.

Among these five people, two were at the Guizhen realm, and three were at the Tianyuan realm.

The second patriarch of the Zhang family didnʼt hesitate; he nodded and said, ”Alright, itʼll be you. Letʼs set off right away!”

”We canʼt wait until tomorrow. The thought of that boy Lingfeng suffering in Jinling is unbearable for me,” the second patriarch said, waving his hand and leading the five people out of the meeting hall.

Once outside the meeting hall, the angry expression on the second patriarchʼs face disappeared, replaced by a lecherous smile.

He claimed that he was going to Jinling to bring Zhang Lingfeng back himself, but that was simply a lie. In reality, he had heard that Jinling was a place full of beautiful women, especially among the three major families.

Previously, due to the Warriorsʼ Alliance, he couldnʼt take action against the three major families of Jinling. Now that he had this excuse, he was determined to make the most of it.

Soon after, a group of six people boarded a flying vehicle and headed towards Jinling.

These six people—three at the Tianyuan realm, two at the Guizhen realm, and one at the Tiefan realm—could easily dominate the entire city of Jinling.

And this was just a fraction of the power of the four major families of Tianhai. The gap between ordinary human cities and supercities is evident from this.

Although there was a vast distance between Tianhai and Jinling, with the speed of flying vehicles, they could arrive in Jinling by dawn the next day at the latest.

By then, the three major families of Jinling might face a disaster of unprecedented proportions.

”Nothing much. I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I wanted to come and chat with you.” Su Mengyun said with a smile, ”Seeing that Yue has finally grown up and possesses such strong abilities, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”

Indeed, he has grown quite big—so big that even his aunt can no longer accommodate him.

Thinking of her nephew, Wang Yuyao felt a stir in her heart; although things had reached a climax only three times that morning, it still hadnʼt fully satisfied her desires.

But on the surface, she shook her head and said, ”Whatʼs there to be so excited about? Heʼs still just a little kid; thereʼs still a lot for him to learn.”

”Yes, the pressure on him is probably even greater than on me,” Su Mengyun sighed.

”Take the Zhang family, for example. They are becoming restless and might well form an alliance with the forces from Tianhai. This wonʼt be an easy challenge.”

”Whatʼs there to fear? With Yue and my cousin around, the Zhang family canʼt cause any trouble,” Wang Yuyao said without a care in the world.

By ”cousin,” she meant Shen Siying. Chen Lingwei, who came from the Chen family, was the cousin of Shen Siyingʼs husband.

However, Su Mengyun wasnʼt as optimistic as her: ”But what if Tianhai sends someone at the peak of the Gui Zhen realm, or even someone stronger?”

”Thatʼs impossible. The Warriorsʼ Alliance isnʼt just for show,” Wang Yuyao replied.

”Besides, if Jinling really held such great value that it would warrant the intervention of such powerful individuals, wouldnʼt those major factions have acted sooner?”

Su Mengyun actually thought the same way. Talking about these things with Wang Yuyao was merely a way to make her less vigilant.

She always felt that there was something off between Wang Yuyao and Wang Yue, especially that morning when Wang Yuyao looked so flushed—as if she had just been with a man.

”Youʼre right; maybe Iʼm overthinking it and just being paranoid,” Su Mengyun said with a smile, changing the subject. ”Yuyao, letʼs talk candidly. For all these years, Iʼve felt that the Su family has wronged you.”

”No, Iʼve done very well in the Su family. Your mother-in-law and you have been so kind to me; I am very grateful,” Wang Yuyao said with a smile.

”But no matter how kind my mother and I are, we are still women. There are some things we simply canʼt provide for you,” Su Mengyun continued.

”And my brother… even before he disappeared, he was always away from home. I didnʼt understand it before, but in these three years, Iʼve come to realize a lot. I really donʼt know how you managed to get by.”

”Nothing much; I just got by,” Wang Yuyao said, feeling a bit guilty. If Su Mengyun had mentioned this to her more than half a month ago, she would have firmly argued that it was indeed her brother who had wronged her.

But now that she had committed adultery, and with her own nephew as the object of her infidelity, talking about these things made her feel guilty.
