The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 617: Chapter 618: A Different Ye Lianchen

”Is there something wrong?” Su Changfeng asked curiously. Could it be that Ye Lianchen’s visit isn’t about Yue Qingshan?

Yue Qingshan thought for a while and said, ”As far as I know, Ye Qingcheng is particularly smart, with countless schemes in her heart. Besides, Ye Qingcheng is a woman who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. Ye Lianchen was supposed to come to Jiang City with Ye Qingcheng, but he didn’t come at first. Why has he suddenly appeared now, in such a situation?”

Su Changfeng smiled helplessly and said, ”You don’t need to beat around the bush. No matter how you say it, you know Ye Qingcheng better than anyone.”

”I suspect Ye Qingcheng plans to stir up trouble between you and Ye Lianchen. In Ye Qingcheng’s view, the easiest way to deal with you is to kill you, but Ye Qingcheng needs an excuse to take action against you,” Yue Qingshan said.

Yue Qingshan’s eyebrows furrowed instantly. As Yue Qingshan said this, Su Changfeng understood that Ye Qingcheng was using her brother as bait. Once he harms Ye Lianchen, Ye Qingcheng will have a perfect reason to kill him.

Ye Qingcheng truly is ruthless, even using her own brother.” Su Changfeng sighed.

”I even suspect Ye Qingcheng wants you to kill Ye Lianchen, because that way, the position of future Ye Family Master would definitely be hers, with nothing to worry about,” Yue Qingshan said.

Yue Qingshan’s explanation made Su Changfeng have a deeper understanding of Ye Qingcheng. If she truly is such a ruthless woman, dealing with Ye Qingcheng would require utmost caution.

Although Ye Qingcheng currently adopts a proud stance and does not plan to attack the Shen Family, once she has no way out, the Shen Family will definitely become a tool for Ye Qingcheng to threaten him.

To achieve this goal, she’ll even utilize her brother. Is there anything on this earth that Ye Qingcheng wouldn’t dare to do?

”Hearing you say this, Han Xue’s current situation is not absolutely safe,” Su Changfeng said.

Yue Qingshan mentioned this with the intention of making Su Changfeng more cautious, yet all of Su Changfeng’s concern seemed focused on Shen Hanxue, leaving Yue Qingshan to sigh inwardly, because Yue Qingshan knew that regardless of the time, and no matter how dire the situation, the person Su Changfeng was most worried about was always Shen Hanxue.

”When will you care about me like this?” Yue Qingshan said with a serious face.

”You should eat quickly, I’m leaving now.” After saying this, Su Changfeng turned and walked out of the room.

In the Golden City Hotel, Ye Qingcheng lay elegantly on the bed. Although she was resting, she wasn’t like someone just waking up, with messy hair or the like. Her sleeping posture was exceptionally graceful, unlike others who seek comfort while sleeping.

Even while resting, Ye Qingcheng maintains her image. Ye Qingcheng has incredibly strict requirements for herself because, in her heart, she recognizes that aristocrats, regardless of the size or triviality of an issue, must uphold their dignity. Only by doing this can Ye Qingcheng become an aristocrat.

After opening her eyes, Ye Qingcheng didn’t continue lying on the bed but immediately got up to wash her face and brush her teeth, applying an exquisite makeup. Ye Qingcheng never faces anyone without makeup. No matter who she encounters, Ye Qingcheng will meticulously dress up. This care can almost be described as obsessive.

The doorbell rang, and after confirming that she was satisfied with her makeup, Ye Qingcheng stood up.

”Sister, I’ve been waiting for a long time. Couldn’t you open the door a bit earlier?” Ye Lianchen complained.

”You didn’t realize I was just putting on my makeup?” Ye Qingcheng replied.

”We’ve grown up together, yet I’ve never seen you without makeup.” Ye Lianchen spread his limbs and lay on the living room sofa.

Seeing Ye Lianchen’s delinquent look, there was a trace of disgust between Ye Qingcheng’s eyebrows. Ye Lianchen is part of the M Country Ye Family, yet he knows nothing of rules, nor carries any aristocratic aura. If Ye Family were to be led by Ye Lianchen in the future, it would merely rise to the level of nouveau riche and could never become a noble family.

But if she were to take over the M Country Ye Family, she is especially confident that she could transform Ye Family into a real upper-class family, gaining recognition from M Country’s elite.

”What are you doing here so early to find me?” Ye Qingcheng asked.

”Sister, I’m planning to turn over a new leaf,” Ye Lianchen said.

Ye Qingcheng smiled slightly and asked, ”Are you planning to abandon the whole forest for Yue Qingshan? Is that woman’s allure so great?”

Ye Lianchen shook his head and said firmly, ”I must bear the responsibilities of the Ye Family. Dad once said if I want to become the head of the family, I must demonstrate my own abilities. I’ve indulged long enough, played enough, and now I should start working hard to take over the Ye Family.”

Ye Qingcheng’s expression tightened. Why did Ye Lianchen suddenly undergo such a transformation? She had turned Ye Lianchen into a person who only knew indulgence, rendering him incapable of competing with her for the Ye Family Master position. But now, unexpectedly, Ye Lianchen had awakened.

”Do you know how exhausting it is to be the family head? If you become the Ye Family Master, you won’t have any time for leisure. Can you truly bear to give up your current lifestyle?” Ye Qingcheng asked.

”Sister, you’ll have to marry eventually, and if I continue to live as I do now, no one will be able to lead the Ye Family. If the Ye Family declines, I won’t be able to have fun anymore,” Ye Lianchen said with a smile.

Ye Lianchen came to Ye Qingcheng to express his stance, wanting Ye Qingcheng to acknowledge that Ye Lianchen possesses a unique advantage, making it apparent to Ye Qingcheng that when he desires to be the Ye Family Master, Ye Qingcheng stands no chance.

This statement caused frustration to well up in Ye Qingcheng’s eyes, which might be the most dreadful pain an unmarried woman experiences.

Ye Qingcheng understands this well. In order to gain recognition from others, she must outperform Ye Lianchen by 100 times.

The position of Ye Family Master isn’t something their father can grant to just anyone; others’ approval is still essential. However, the Ye Family predominantly values boys, putting Ye Qingcheng at a significant disadvantage in the competition for the family head.

Since Ye Lianchen was young, Ye Qingcheng has been particularly indulgent towards him. Regardless of his mistakes, Ye Qingcheng would attempt to cover them up, encouraging him to pursue whatever he desired with more courage.
