The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1492 - 1491: The Greatest Support

"How did you even think of doing this?" Wei Guanglin asked. He was so shocked he was almost doubting whether the person in front of him was really his son.

Hearing that, Wei Chengyu’s expression gradually turned serious.

"Dad, to be honest, I’ve been mulling this over for a while. Even though everyone keeps saying Su Changfeng is the useless young master of the Ye Family, you and I have both seen it with our own eyes—he’s no waste, he’s a pretty strong expert. I believe it won’t be long before those people who used to look down on him will all regret it."

"And with his strength, he’ll definitely become a big shot in Capital City in the future. Right now, a lot of people still don’t know Su Changfeng’s true strength, but I do, so I have to seize the initiative. This isn’t just my opportunity, it’s the Wei Family’s opportunity. If I can rope Su Changfeng in ahead of time, he’ll definitely become my biggest support down the line." Wei Chengyu said.

Hearing this, Wei Guanglin’s heart was full of emotion. He simply couldn’t believe there would be a day when Wei Chengyu said something like this.

When it came to his son, no one knew him better than Wei Guanglin. Usually all he cared about was eating, drinking, and having fun, never did anything serious. But this time, Wei Chengyu had really grown up. He was no longer that kid who only knew how to play; he’d learned to plan for his own future.

"Son, you’ve finally matured. I’m really glad in my heart. What you’re doing is absolutely right—this is your chance. Once you win Su Changfeng over, it’ll greatly benefit both you and the Wei Family in the future." Wei Guanglin said.

In fact, this had originally been Wei Guanglin’s plan too. He’d even considered handing this matter over to Wei Chengyu. But when he thought of Wei Chengyu’s temper, he hesitated. If Wei Chengyu ended up making things worse and not only failed to win Su Changfeng’s support but even brought a huge mess down on their own heads, he probably wouldn’t even have time to regret it.

Now that Wei Chengyu had come up with this on his own, as a father, Wei Guanglin was naturally very relieved.

"But Chengyu, there’s one more thing I need to remind you. Since you’ve decided to befriend him, you have to be sincere about it. Don’t put on a front in person while playing tricks behind his back." Wei Guanglin warned uneasily.

Whether it was scheming or personal strength, that teenage young master of the Ye Family was definitely not as simple as they’d imagined. So if Wei Chengyu tried to play any tricks in front of him, it would be like showing off in front of a master. The safest approach was to genuinely get along with him.

If he tried to show off his cleverness and got found out by Su Changfeng, he’d end up losing both the lady and the soldiers. Once they became enemies with Su Changfeng, the Wei Family’s situation would be tough in the future.

"Dad, I get it. Since I’m willing to make friends with him, I’ll definitely show real sincerity." Wei Chengyu said.

Wei Guanglin nodded in satisfaction. Over the years, he had no idea how much he’d worried over this son who refused to grow up. Now seeing him this sensible, Wei Guanglin was naturally very pleased. Only like this would he no longer have to worry that Wei Chengyu wouldn’t be able to prop up the Wei Family.

Besides, deep down, Wei Guanglin had a vague intuition that Su Changfeng would definitely become famous throughout Capital City one day. He believed that when that day came, the Wei Family would be able to gain even more benefits from him. Breaking into the circle of top families wouldn’t be impossible.

In the vast Capital City, there were only three families that could be called top-tier, and those three were completely above all the other major families.

Their power was unimaginably vast, with a heritage of more than a hundred years. It had always been Wei Guanglin’s biggest dream to become an existence like theirs. But unfortunately, a dream is still just a dream. There was still a huge gap between him and those top families.

Now, however, the existence of Su Changfeng had undeniably given Wei Guanglin hope. Perhaps the situation in Capital City would undergo a drastic change because of Su Changfeng’s arrival.

On Su Changfeng’s side, after he finished his call with Wei Chengyu, he didn’t actually take this matter too seriously. After all, he knew very well what kind of interest relationships were mixed into the "brotherhood" Wei Chengyu spoke of. His body might only be in its teens, but his soul was not that of a child. He understood these interest-driven things all too well.

Unconsciously, Su Changfeng had walked to a very familiar place. In his last life, he had spent a lot of time here. He remembered clearly that there was a night when it was pouring rain, and he ran out crying, only to end up staying here.

When Su Changfeng walked into the mung bean milk shop, nothing in front of him felt unfamiliar. Without saying a word, he went straight to the seat he’d been most familiar with back then.

Then he saw the owner’s daughter, Wang Ling’er, quietly sitting off to the side, seriously kneading the clay in her hands. Su Changfeng still remembered that she had almost gotten involved with that shoe-worship cult organization, and it was precisely because of that incident that he accidentally obtained the skull, which led to his later fortune.

Of course, in terms of timeline, the current Su Changfeng wasn’t really acquainted with the boss’s wife yet, since between them it had only been the usual greetings between a shop owner and a customer.

But Wang Ling’er kept sneaking looks at Su Changfeng from time to time. Maybe it was because she’d rarely seen a boy as handsome as Su Changfeng before.

When Su Changfeng realized that Wang Ling’er was secretly looking at him, he politely gave her a smile. Wang Ling’er reacted like a frightened rabbit, quickly turning her gaze away. Her little face flushed bright red, even her neck was tinged with pink. That unique youthful shyness of a young girl was incredibly adorable.

Su Changfeng curled his lips slightly. Looking at the pure, snow-white, adorable Wang Ling’er in front of him, he really couldn’t imagine that when this little girl grew up, she would turn into that kill-mat style look. She and her future self basically wouldn’t look like the same person.

He ordered a bowl of mung bean milk. During that time, Su Changfeng didn’t act overly familiar toward the boss’s wife. After all, they were still strangers at this point. He felt things like this should just follow their natural course; there was no need to force anything.

Just as he was paying the bill and preparing to leave, a bunch of guys rushed in from outside, all looking like punks from the neighborhood. Every one of them was holding a steel pipe.

When the boss’s wife saw this group of people walk in, her expression immediately turned ugly.

"Get your man out here, it’s about time he paid back the money he owes, isn’t it?"

"If I don’t see the cash this time, believe it or not, I’ll smash this crappy shop of yours to pieces."

"Hurry up, I don’t have time to waste here arguing with you."

"..."

So many punks suddenly barged into the shop, and it was obvious they were up to no good. A lot of customers were frightened.

Su Changfeng thought for a moment. In his memory, the boss’s husband really was the gambling type. He’d heard her talk about it before—because of that husband, she often had to deal with this sort of trouble.
