The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1538 - 1537: Self-Evident
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
Cheng Qing glanced at Zhou Wang, then said, "Have you forgotten what this kid did back then?"
Zhou Wang shook his head with a smile and said, "I haven’t forgotten, just couldn’t think of it at the moment. But looking at it this way, the outcome of this competition seems obvious?"
Cheng Qing shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. If other families find someone as formidable as Su Changfeng, then it’s uncertain."
Zhou Wang nodded and said, "Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since our Zhou Family has made a name for ourselves in this Martial Arts Competition. With Su Changfeng this time, we might stand out a bit."
"But there’s still that issue; I still feel a bit uneasy in my heart."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qing’s expression became much more serious.
Initially, the two of them had discussed why Su Changfeng left Tuo Shi at this time. Could it be because the kid made some mistake?
Or perhaps some other matter left him with no choice but to leave.
However, if the reason behind this matter is quite complicated, then given their family’s current relationship with Su Changfeng, there’s a significant chance it could negatively affect future developments.
Because Cheng Qing was well aware of the rules involved, people from Tuo Shi are not allowed to leave without permission.
Of course, everything they’re discussing now is just their own speculation. They really don’t know what’s going on in between.
Cheng Qing said, "There’s no need to think too much about this matter, because if there really is a bad reason, we have no way to find out right now."
"Even with our current capabilities, we can’t find out at all, so we can only take a gamble on what happened in this matter."
After hearing these words, Zhou Wang felt very helpless. If it were truly possible, he would certainly exhaust every means to find out what really happened.
But unfortunately, his capabilities simply couldn’t reach that level, so now he can only sit here anxiously.
But the situation hasn’t really changed yet, and even if he is anxious here, it’s of no use. It is better to just be at ease and let things develop on their own.
After leaving, Su Changfeng went directly to the place he rented.
Su Changfeng received the message that Ji Hong had come to his place after leaving the Ye Family.
Initially, upon knowing this, Su Changfeng didn’t want to return because he wasn’t sure how to react when seeing Ji Hong.
However, after recalling previous events, he understood that Ji Hong actually had no objections to him, and they had even gotten along fairly well before.
With these thoughts, Su Changfeng decided to come back.
But upon returning home, he suddenly smelled the aroma of food, which puzzled Su Changfeng greatly.
After all, Ji Hong had always lived a luxurious life, and the idea of Ji Hong cooking was simply impossible.
But now, where did all this food in the house come from?
Could it be that Ji Hong always knew how to cook but never revealed the ability because she had been served by others?
Su Changfeng tentatively called out in the house, "Mom?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was the sound of something falling to the ground.
Then Su Changfeng saw Ji Hong walking out with red eyes; clearly, the call of "Mom" from Su Changfeng was significant to Ji Hong.
Ji Hong looked at Su Changfeng and said, "You’re back?"
"Yes!"
Su Changfeng nodded and then asked in surprise, "Did you make this food?"
But then Su Changfeng realized that the food had nothing to do with Ji Hong.
Because he saw another person coming out from behind Ji Hong, Gao Yuan!
Gao Yuan even had a ladle in her hand, clearly indicating that the food was cooked by her.
What surprised Su Changfeng was why Gao Yuan was here, cooking for Ji Hong.
Seeing Su Changfeng’s surprised expression, Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that, are you that shocked to see me?"
"Isn’t it normal to feel shocked?" Su Changfeng said with raised eyebrows. After all, his relationship with Gao Yuan wasn’t that close, and there was no reason for Gao Yuan to come to his house to cook.
Seeing Su Changfeng say that, Gao Yuan didn’t know what to reply, so she just rolled her eyes and went back to cooking.
Su Changfeng looked at Ji Hong, hoping to understand what was going on.
Ji Hong looked at Su Changfeng and said, "The day I moved here, I happened to meet this young lady. She’s pretty nice and has helped me a lot."
"She even knew I couldn’t cook, so she came out to personally teach me how, and during our chat, we realized that you two seem to have a pretty good relationship."
"I figured since she’s our neighbor, it was fine to let Gao Yuan come and help with the cooking."
A good relationship?
Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng was confused because he didn’t think he and Gao Yuan had a good relationship, as they had met only a few times at most.
Su Changfeng had merely helped Gao Yuan a few times.
Putting this aside, Su Changfeng looked at Ji Hong and said, "Do you plan on never going back?"
Ji Hong was silent for a while and then nodded. At home, she was always under the oppression of Shangguan Feihong, so after coming out, she never intended to go back.
Ji Hong didn’t hide it and directly said, "I don’t want to go back because of the Ye Family and Shangguan Feihong."
Su Changfeng understood because the Ye Family was controlled by Shangguan Feihong. As a result, many things were forced upon them by Shangguan Feihong despite their unwillingness.
This included Ji Hong’s previous indifference towards him. Though calling it indifference isn’t completely accurate because, as a mother, Ji Hong naturally loved her child.
But unfortunately, Shangguan Feihong’s pressure was too great, leading her to disregard Su Changfeng’s situation.
Su Changfeng understood, and thus did not particularly resent Ji Hong.
Seeing that Ji Hong didn’t plan to go back, Su Changfeng nodded and said, "Alright, then you can stay here from now on."
Ji Hong also nodded but seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, "However, how did Shangguan Feihong let you out?"
