The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 608: Chapter 609 Chen Xueqi’s Self-Indulgence

But what intrigued Su Changfeng more was Ye Lianchen’s intense hostility towards him. Yet, he didn’t even know the person in front of him, so this hostility puzzled Su Changfeng.

”Nothing much, just wanted to get to know my neighbor,” Ye Lianchen replied.

”Have you eaten yet? If not, why not have a meal at my place?” Su Changfeng invited.

Ye Lianchen wanted to understand the situation between him and Yue Qingshan, so he didn’t reject.

When Ye Lianchen walked into the house and exchanged glances with Yue Qingshan, Su Changfeng noticed something strange.

The gaze from the new neighbor was fiery, while Yue Qingshan’s gaze was a bit shocked. Clearly, they knew each other before, and it seemed the intentions of the new neighbor might not be pure.

”It’s you!” Yue Qingshan exclaimed.

”Qingshan, I never imagined you’d live here. I’ve already bought the apartment next to yours. From now on, we’re good neighbors,” Ye Lianchen said with surprise on his face.

Yue Qingshan furrowed her brows. There were many holes in Ye Lianchen’s words; it was surely no coincidence.

”It seems you two know each other. In this case, why don’t you chat for a while? I’ll take a stroll outside. By the way, I’m just a regular friend with her, so don’t misunderstand,” Su Changfeng said, smiling at Ye Lianchen.

Though Su Changfeng didn’t know who Ye Lianchen was, his current position pleased Su Changfeng. If he pursued Yue Qingshan and Yue Qingshan took interest, he wouldn’t have so many troubles.

Similarly, Ye Lianchen didn’t know who Su Changfeng was, because since he came to Jiang City, he had been attending clubs and never asked about Ye Qingcheng dealing with Su Changfeng. He’d probably never seen Su Changfeng.

Ye Lianchen was quite pleased listening to Su Changfeng’s words and let go of his hostility towards him.

After Su Changfeng stepped out, he had just reached the elevator when he heard a voice surprised and delighted: ”Old Ye, what a coincidence! You also heading downstairs?”

Seeing Wang Feifei’s delighted face, Su Changfeng smiled faintly and said, ”Yes, why are you heading down?”

”There’s no salt at home, I’m cooking, so I’m going to buy some,” Wang Feifei replied.

The two got on the elevator together. Wang Feifei brought up the neighbor and mentioned that the person had paid a high price to buy the apartment and even offered a $20,000 moving fee, which piqued Su Changfeng’s curiosity. It seemed the guy knew Yue Qingshan lived there, which is why he bought the place next door. This wasn’t a coincidence at all but rather a scheme.

”Old Ye, why do you think the new neighbor would spend so much money to buy the apartment?” Wang Feifei asked Su Changfeng with a smile.

”Since you’re asking like that, you surely know the reason, right? Tell me,” said Su Changfeng, already understanding Ye Lianchen’s motive, but since Wang Feifei was interested, he didn’t want to interrupt her interest, even if it meant letting her express herself.

”It’s because of Sister Xueqi. The newly moved-in neighbor is pursuing Sister Xueqi,” Wang Feifei said.

”Hmm?” After his surprise, Su Changfeng couldn’t help but laugh. These matters had no connection; why would it involve Chen Xueqi? And that person was already with Yue Qingshan, clearly pursuing her.

”Did Chen Xueqi tell you that?” Su Changfeng asked with a smile.

”Anyway, that’s what I think. But Sister Xueqi agreed with this belief; otherwise, no one would be stupid enough to spend so much money on an old apartment, right? That person must have other motives,” Wang Feifei considered it logical.

Su Changfeng agreed that the person had motives; Wang Feifei’s reasoning was indeed correct, but unfortunately, the target wasn’t Chen Xueqi.

”Looks like Chen Xueqi is dreaming again. In such a situation, I’d better not disturb her beautiful dream,” Su Changfeng smiled.

”Why shouldn’t you disturb her dream? It’s not a beautiful dream; it’s reality,” Wang Feifei said seriously. In Wang Feifei’s view, Chen Xueqi indeed possessed such charm, having seen many of her passionate pursuers whose actions were beyond ordinary understanding.

”Yes, it’s real, truly real, even more genuine than pearls,” Su Changfeng nodded repeatedly.

At home, Chen Xueqi was lost in her fantasy, already planning to take leave from work to stay at home because she feared if her new neighbor came by when she wasn’t there, she would miss the opportunity.

Chen Xueqi had other thoughts; she couldn’t let that person easily win her over. The more difficult she was to win over, the more a man would cherish it, so she must maintain her aloof demeanor, letting that person know how hard it was to pursue her.

It’s worth saying that Chen Xueqi’s thoughts were quite expansive, even considering how to make the person cherish what he had.

Confronted with Ye Lianchen, Yue Qingshan displayed extreme coldness. Before she had any feelings for Su Changfeng, she already had no fondness for Ye Lianchen. To Yue Qingshan, someone like Ye Lianchen, a playboy, only knew how to squander family money, and she knew such a person would never genuinely care for anyone.

People like him considered women as playthings, incapable of sincere feelings.

Now, Su Changfeng held a special place in Yue Qingshan’s heart, making her less likely to have feelings for Ye Lianchen.

Ye Lianchen did all that he could but was unable to make Yue Qingshan give him a glance, causing a growing dissatisfaction in his heart. Every woman who met him felt entitled to high pride, and for any target he pursued, he would even resort to underhanded means to acquire.

However, Ye Lianchen was willing to offer Yue Qingshan special treatment, for she was someone he fell for at first sight.

”Do you know, if another woman dared to treat me with such an attitude, she wouldn’t have a peaceful life henceforth. But I really like you, so I’m willing to give you this privilege,” Ye Lianchen said.

Yue Qingshan shook her head, appearing spiritless. Her mind was entirely occupied with Su Changfeng.

”You don’t need to give me any privilege. I won’t have any feelings for you,” Yue Qingshan said decisively.

Ye Lianchen’s face immediately turned gloomy: ”Am I not good enough, or is it that the Ye Family’s power can’t catch your eye?”
