Zhou Wang and Cheng Qing discuss the potential outcomes of the Martial Arts Competition, pondering if Su Changfeng's absence from Tuo Shi could affect their families. Meanwhile, Su Changfeng returns home to find Ji Hong and Gao Yuan cooking together, leading to a surprising conversation about Ji Hong's decision to stay and her reasons for leaving the Ye Family.

Ji Hong didn’t go to inquire about the Ye Family, so she didn’t know what exactly had happened there.

Su Changfeng said calmly, "It’s nothing. Shangguan Feihong begged me to leave."

Hearing this, Ji Hong gave Su Changfeng a sidelong glance and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You might be able to fool those who don’t know any better, but you can’t fool me."

"Shangguan Feihong even wanted to keep you locked up there forever. How could she possibly beg you to come out?"

No one would believe what Su Changfeng was saying now, especially someone like Ji Hong, who had always lived with Shangguan Feihong.

Ji Hong knew very well the kind of person Shangguan Feihong was, not only domineering but also unreasonable and tyrannical.

To think she would bow down to Su Changfeng was simply impossible.

"Shangguan Feihong had Ye Weijun impersonate me to go out swindling and causing trouble, and coincidentally offended the Zhou Family. They even found out and Zhou Wang said they would only let Ye Weijun go if they saw me."

"Otherwise, Ye Weijun would be killed, so Shangguan Feihong had no other choice but to let me go, even begging me to go." Su Changfeng said with an air of indifference.

Hearing this, Ji Hong was stunned, taking a while to come to her senses and said: "Is that really true, did that person Shangguan Feihong really beg you to leave?"

"Of course, otherwise, how would you see me here?" Su Changfeng replied, still maintaining an air of composure.

Ji Hong was shocked, unable to believe what she was hearing.

Shangguan Feihong begging Su Changfeng?

Even hearing it firsthand, Ji Hong couldn’t wrap her mind around it.

After a moment, Ji Hong said, "How gratifying, that domineering woman Shangguan Feihong actually had such a day."

Upon hearing this, Ji Hong also felt a similar sense of satisfaction, but that feeling did not last long before it turned into concern.

Ji Hong looked at her son worriedly and said, "But you know what kind of person Shangguan Feihong is, since you’ve done this, she won’t just let it go."

"I understand, which is why I’ve already reached an agreement with the Zhou Family. In 90 days, they will use all their resources to help my company grow," Su Changfeng said.

"Even if by that time we can’t surpass the Ye Family, it should at least be possible for my company to become as significant as the Ye Family." Su Changfeng stated.

Hearing this, Ji Hong’s eyes showed a glimmer of amazement, even a hint of pride.

Because previously, no one would have thought that at his age, Su Changfeng would already have his own company!

Now with the support of the Zhou Family, it’s bound to keep growing.

However, Ji Hong was no fool, she knew the Zhou Family wouldn’t help Su Changfeng without expecting something in return, there must be some conditions.

So Ji Hong looked at Su Changfeng and asked, "What are the Zhou Family’s terms?"

"Martial Arts Competition, I will represent the Zhou Family, that’s their condition." Su Changfeng replied.

Ji Hong had heard of the Martial Arts Competition, previously the Ye Family participated but did poorly.

Families generally join these competitions to gain certain benefits, but the Ye Family not only gained nothing, they also lost a lot of money.

After that incident, the Ye Family stopped participating in such contests.

Ji Hong looked at Su Changfeng worriedly and said, "But the competitors must be quite skilled. What if you get hurt?"

Su Changfeng showed a dismissive expression upon hearing this.

In this place, it’s impossible for anyone to have the ability to injure him.

Unless someone recalls past events and comes here, otherwise, no one can pose a threat to Su Changfeng.

However, such things generally don’t happen, likely that person is still dormant anyway.

Su Changfeng looked at Ji Hong and said, "Don’t worry, I’m even better than Grandpa Huotian now!"

Seeing Su Changfeng say this, Ji Hong recalled when Su Changfeng defeated Huotian, which indeed left her quite shocked back then.

Ji Hong looked at Su Changfeng and said, "Since you’ve said it like this, I won’t persuade you further. However, I still need to remind you about Shangguan Feihong."

"You know her character, she’ll do anything to achieve her goal. I’m just worried she might plot against you secretly."

Regarding this, Su Changfeng had thought about it, but he didn’t care, because he figured if Shangguan Feihong really wanted revenge, there was only one way.

That was seeking help from her family, but even if she sought help from the Shangguan Family, they might not respond to her.

Su Changfeng knew that for the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Feihong was practically a discarded pawn, and in Shangguan Sichen’s mind, they likely no longer regarded Shangguan Feihong as one of them.

After thinking for a while, Su Changfeng looked at Ji Hong and asked, "Do you know about Shangguan Feihong’s background?"

"What do you mean?" Ji Hong asked, puzzled.

"Nothing, it just came to mind." Su Changfeng shook his head and smiled, saying nothing more, knowing that the only person who might know about Shangguan Feihong’s background around here was Ye Qingtian.

But this just further indicated that the Shangguan Family had completely severed ties with Shangguan Feihong.

At this time, Gao Yuan came out with dishes in hand and said, "If you’re done talking, come help with the food in the kitchen."

Seeing Gao Yuan act as if she were the hostess, Su Changfeng felt there was something a bit off about her.

So Su Changfeng directly told Ji Hong, "Mom, if you want something to eat, just order it yourself. Don’t let anyone know randomly."

Gao Yuan felt a bit displeased, but said nothing, only smiled at Ji Hong, "It’s no problem, Auntie. If you don’t want takeout, just let me know."
