The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1488 - 1487: The Stubborn Old Lady

"Gao Yuan, don’t be crazy, he’s just a kid who hasn’t grown up yet. Stop overthinking it." Gao Yuan murmured.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Su Changfeng left Gao Yuan’s house and took a taxi directly to the Wei Family.

Wei Guanglin had already prepared a variety of delicious dishes, and Su Changfeng, in all his years, had never had such a sumptuous breakfast. Not even the Ye Family had ever seen such extravagance.

"Here? Did you not have time to eat?" Wei Guanglin said to Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng nodded and sat down straightaway. Despite his extraordinary physique nowadays, he still needed to eat; he couldn’t quite manage fasting yet.

After eating, Wei Guanglin voiced his curiosity, mainly because he couldn’t understand Su Changfeng’s decision to let Brother Shan go.

Considering his abilities were so impressive, killing Brother Shan would have been easy. "Cutting the weed without removing the root, and it grows again in the spring," everyone understands this logic. So why did he let Brother Shan leave?

"You should realize that that Brother Shan isn’t without some backing," Su Changfeng said casually.

Wei Guanglin nodded, naturally aware that Brother Shan couldn’t have come all the way to Capital City to cause trouble unless he had some backing. But knowing he has backing, isn’t it better to completely deal with him?

"So? Is there a necessary connection between these two things?" Wei Guanglin looked at Su Changfeng puzzled.

"If you kill him, his backing won’t let it rest. They might use all means to challenge the Wei Family. Do you think the Wei Family can protect itself?" Su Changfeng explained.

Upon hearing this, Wei Guanglin remained silent, understanding that Su Changfeng must have other considerations.

As expected, Su Changfeng continued, "After today’s events, he’ll definitely fear my abilities. Unless he is fully prepared, he won’t act easily. Additionally, I believe his hatred for Wei Chengyu now is far less than for me. Isn’t this the result the Wei Family wants? After all, he shouldn’t trouble the Wei Family again; I’ve successfully shifted his anger to myself."

Wei Guanglin frowned. Although Su Changfeng’s explanation made sense, clearly, he left himself some trouble for the future. What exactly was he thinking?

With his skills, he didn’t need to overthink. Killing one after another isn’t easier, would it?

"You shifted the conflict to yourself, helping the Wei Family solve a problem but creating a big trouble for yourself. I don’t think this is the best solution," Wei Guanglin said.

Su Changfeng smiled and explained, "Really? I think it’s quite a good approach. If the Wei Family ever tries to go back on their word, he serves as a threat against them in my hands, doesn’t he?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Guanglin was stunned. He didn’t expect Su Changfeng to speak so bluntly in front of him, without any intention to respect. Were the Wei Family completely disregarded by him?

"Su Changfeng, I must say, among all the people I’ve met, you have the deepest scheming, youngest but with such good skills. How did such a reputation spread from the Ye Family?" Wei Guanglin frowned and asked, albeit dissatisfied with Su Changfeng’s bluntness, he admitted his excellence. After all, his confident declaration showed he could escape unscathed.

For someone so young to have such means and skills, in the span of Capital City, how many can compare?

"I’m really curious, if Shangguan Feihong knew your true abilities, what reaction would she have?" Wei Guanglin couldn’t help but lament.

He naturally knew how stubborn Shangguan Feihong was. Not just him, people in Capital City have all experienced the old lady’s temper. Yet, due to this stubbornness, the Ye Family’s progress in Capital City kept declining.

Even so, Shangguan Feihong was unwilling to change.

Perhaps, Shangguan Feihong wasn’t the best choice to manage the Ye Family. If the Ye Family could be handed over to Su Changfeng, Wei Guanglin couldn’t even imagine how far the Ye Family would develop in this youth’s hands.

"What reaction would that be?" Su Changfeng smiled slightly, understanding Shangguan Feihong very well. Even if she realized she was wrong, she wouldn’t admit it. Such people don’t regret.

In her eyes, Ye Weijun is the best candidate to support the Ye Family’s future, destined for an emperor’s fate. She believed this for years and wouldn’t easily change.

Perhaps only when the Ye Family falls into dire straits and Su Changfeng is needed to rescue it would Shangguan Feihong realize what she did wrong.

"By the way, there’ll be a business meeting soon. Weren’t you planning to develop the company? Attend it then," Wei Guanglin said to Su Changfeng. As promised, he’d assist Mo Ke Company’s development, and the upcoming business meeting was an excellent opportunity. Attendees would be from high society, providing Mo Ke Company more exposure.

"Thanks, President Wei. I’ll definitely attend on time." Su Changfeng smiled in thanks, initially planning to go to Jiang City to meet with his wife. However, it seemed this must be postponed.

But there’s no hurry. He’s still a minor, so these things can be managed gradually.

After leaving the Wei Family, Su Changfeng didn’t continue wandering outside but took a taxi to Mo Ke Company, asking Wu Feng to prepare a place for him to stay quickly.

Meanwhile, at the Ye Family Mansion, even though Su Changfeng hadn’t returned home, everyone seemed indifferent, showing no intention to go find him.

Though Ji Hong considered sending someone to find him, upon seeing Shangguan Feihong, she couldn’t speak up about it. She naturally knew the old lady’s temper and that she was still angry. If she suggested finding Su Changfeng, Shangguan Feihong would definitely scold her.

"Why haven’t I seen Chang Feng these days? Where did he go?" Ye Tian asked. All these years, living under Shangguan Feihong’s control, perhaps he could be considered a dutiful child but not a dutiful father.

These years, he saw Shangguan Feihong’s differential treatment of Su Changfeng but never said a word, letting Su Changfeng’s situation in the Ye Family Mansion grow more difficult.
