The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1576 - 1575: Competition
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
Su Changfeng had always wanted to draw a clear line with Gao Yuan, and besides, if Shangguan Sichen kept sticking to him like this, it would definitely bring him a lot of danger.
Because at this point Su Changfeng already had plenty of enemies. If someday Ning Yanshan decided to go after the people around him, and saw Gao Yuan always sticking so close to him, he’d definitely make a move against Gao Yuan.
"What’s wrong?"
Gao Yuan had never expected Su Changfeng to say something like that so bluntly without the slightest hesitation, so she was utterly puzzled. She was only going to watch Su Changfeng’s match, so why wouldn’t Su Changfeng agree?
"Nothing, I just don’t want to go with you. And I hope you don’t come again in the future, because I’ll be moving out soon." After saying this, Su Changfeng simply shut the door in Gao Yuan’s face.
Right now Gao Yuan was completely dumbfounded, unable to understand why Su Changfeng was acting like this.
What on earth was going on?
Gao Yuan felt really awful inside and had no idea how to vent it.
Standing off to the side, Ji Hong also felt a huge sense of helplessness at the sight, because in her opinion Gao Yuan was actually a pretty good kid, but who would have thought she’d be rejected just like that.
Su Changfeng ignored the look in Ji Hong’s eyes; after all, he knew exactly what Ji Hong wanted to say.
Sure enough, as soon as Su Changfeng sat down, Ji Hong said helplessly, "You kid really are cruel. Gao Yuan is a good girl no matter how you look at it, how can you talk to her like that?"
Su Changfeng said calmly, "Leaving aside the fact that there’s absolutely no possibility between me and Gao Yuan, her keeping on coming to me like this is actually very unsafe for her."
Unsafe?
Ji Hong could now understand why Su Changfeng was saying that.
Because right now Su Changfeng really had stirred up a lot of potential enemies, and if those people saw that he had a very good relationship with Gao Yuan, it would inevitably pose a great threat to Gao Yuan’s safety.
But why would Su Changfeng say there was no possibility at all between him and Gao Yuan?
Gao Yuan was such a pretty girl; whoever saw her would be moved, right?
So Ji Hong started to feel a very bad hunch. She looked at Su Changfeng and cautiously said, "Kid, do you... do you like boys?"
Su Changfeng’s expression instantly turned very ugly.
Apparently Ji Hong now thought the person he liked was a man. But how could Su Changfeng possibly like men? The only reason he said there was no possibility with Gao Yuan was purely because there was someone else in his heart.
Su Changfeng looked at Ji Hong helplessly and said, "Forget it, just take it as me liking men. I don’t even know how to explain it to you."
Ji Hong frowned at Su Changfeng, and when he still wouldn’t respond to her, she became even more convinced she’d hit on his secret.
For a moment Ji Hong grew anxious, feeling she absolutely couldn’t let Su Changfeng start liking men. She had to correct this thinking while he was still young.
After eating, the two of them planned to go straight to the tournament.
Walking along the road, Su Changfeng suddenly felt he really needed to buy a car to get around. Otherwise having to walk everywhere was exhausting, and he couldn’t just keep hailing cabs.
But since Su Changfeng hadn’t reached the proper age yet, there was no way for him to drive.
So he figured he could buy one for Ji Hong, but that could wait until later; for now, just focus on the competition here.
When they arrived, Su Changfeng suddenly saw that a lot of people had come to watch the matches, which really puzzled him.
Because usually the big crowds only came after the preliminaries. How come there were so many people already in just the second round?
Did these people seriously have nothing better to do?
And on top of that, when Su Changfeng looked around at the spectators, he saw that a lot of them were girls, which confused him even more.
Normally those girls wouldn’t have any interest in this sort of thing, so why were so many of them here now?
Ji Hong glanced at Su Changfeng at her side and said, "Say, do you think these girls all came here because of you?"
By now Su Changfeng was actually quite famous in this circle, so Ji Hong instinctively felt these people had come because of him.
But in Su Changfeng’s opinion that was hardly likely, since the people who knew him were usually martial arts folks.
"Yan Bingfeng actually started this early, he’s seriously amazing!"
"At first I thought Yan Bingfeng would only show up at the very end, but how would someone as strong as Yan Bingfeng enter a tournament like this?"
"Who cares, as long as Yan Bingfeng is competing, we get to see these people in action ahead of time!"
"But I heard the one fighting Yan Bingfeng this time is some kid. How could a kid possibly be a match for Yan Bingfeng?"
"Yeah, exactly, that’s what I think too!"
"..."
Hearing everyone start chattering like that, Su Changfeng figured out what the situation was.
So all these people hadn’t come because of him at all, but for someone named Yan Bingfeng—and apparently that guy was his opponent!
Still, Su Changfeng was very puzzled. Who the hell was this Yan Bingfeng, and how could he attract so many girls to come watch?
Could it be that there was actually some idol in this circle now?
When Ji Hong realized these people hadn’t come for Su Changfeng, she felt really disappointed. She’d been thrilled a moment ago, thinking her son’s reputation was getting bigger and bigger—turns out that wasn’t the case at all.
Seeing the look on Ji Hong’s face, Su Changfeng felt helpless. Right now she was acting nothing like a normal mother; it was the first time he’d seen a mom who always hoped her kid would start dating early.
Ji Hong shook her head and said to Su Changfeng, "Chang Feng, looks like your opponent this time is really strong."
