The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 689: Chapter 690: Shen Siwen’s Self-Deception

At this stage, Shen Siwen placed her hopes on Shen Donglin, and now Shen Donglin was kneeling at Tang Qiulu’s feet.

Shen Donglin had abandoned even his dignity to maintain his living!

“Do you think kneeling alone will help?” Su Changfeng said with an indifferent expression.

Shen Donglin was well aware that he had previously provoked Su Changfeng and Tang Qiulu, and Shen Siwen had done the same. Su Changfeng clearly implied that Shen Siwen had to kneel as well.

Shen Donglin turned angrily to Shen Siwen and said, “Why aren’t you kneeling immediately.”

Without even thinking, Shen Siwen refused, saying, “What right do you have to order me to kneel, Shen Donglin? You can lose face if you want, but I still care about mine. Have you forgotten what Tang Qiulu was like before? She was just the lowest-ranked person in the Shen Family, and yet you kneel to someone like that!”

“You said that was in the past. Now, who in the Shen Family can compare to Tang Qiulu?” Shen Donglin gritted his teeth. Although he didn’t want to admit it, the reality was in front of him. Only Tang Qiulu could solve his current problem, and without her support, everyone in the Shen Family would suffer.

“I’m not like you. I still have a chance to surpass her. Once I marry into a wealthy family, what does the Shen Family’s broken group even matter?” Shen Siwen shouted unwillingly.

Su Changfeng smiled disdainfully and approached Shen Siwen, saying, “No matter whom you marry, that person can’t compare to me. Moreover, if I give the word, no man in Jiang City will pay you any attention for even half a second. Your so-called dream of marrying into a wealthy family is just comforting yourself.”

These words hit Shen Siwen like a thunderclap. She knew that in today’s Jiang City, Su Changfeng indeed had the final say, because even the Gu Family had to show Su Changfeng respect. If Su Changfeng really declared something, no man in Jiang City would dare want her.

At this moment, Shen Donglin suddenly stood up, grabbed Shen Siwen’s hair, and forced her to kneel down.

Many people passing by the company gates and employees getting off work saw this scene and stopped to look over. Shen Donglin and Shen Siwen were utterly humiliated.

“Qiulu, please help me this once.” Shen Donglin lowered his head and pleaded with Tang Qiulu.

Tang Qiulu glanced at Su Changfeng, leaving the decision to him.

“Even though you are kneeling now, I never said that kneeling would earn my help, Shen Donglin. You deserve this for your misdeeds and should pay the price. The Old Madam of the Shen Family cannot have died in vain,” Su Changfeng said.

Hearing the first part, Shen Donglin was about to get angry, but Su Changfeng’s last words made him completely collapse.

He was already facing a life with nothing, and that was bad enough. If the Old Madam’s death was exposed, he would end up in prison and might never get out.

“Su Changfeng, I’m truly sorry, I shouldn’t have treated you like that before. I’m begging you, please give me a chance. I’ll do anything you want, I’ll be your dog if you want, just let me do anything,” Shen Donglin knelt in front of Su Changfeng, continually kowtowing. Although there were no clues about the Old Madam’s death, he knew that if Su Changfeng really wanted to investigate thoroughly, he would eventually find out the truth.

“Do you really think I would forgive you? Haven’t you contributed significantly to the slanders against me in Jiang City?” Su Changfeng said with a sneer, shattering the illusion. The rumors circulating in Jiang City now, 90% were deliberately concocted by Shen Donglin. Now it was time for Su Changfeng to clear his name.

“Whatever you want me to do, I agree, just spare me,” Shen Donglin said in panic.

“Although many in Jiang City no longer think of me as a coward, and I never cared about such things, since it was you who spread those rumors, you should find a way to clarify them,” Su Changfeng said before pulling Tang Qiulu into the car.

Shen Donglin remained kneeling on the ground, continuing to say, “Rest assured, I will make you satisfied.”

In the car, Tang Qiulu looked at Su Changfeng in confusion. He never cared about these things before, so why suddenly let Shen Donglin clarify things for him?

“Do you care about what others say about you now?” Tang Qiulu asked curiously.

Su Changfeng nodded and said, “No one likes being called a coward, clarifying the facts does have its benefits.”

Tang Qiulu found it strange; for three years, Su Changfeng never cared about these things, so why start caring now?

In fact, Su Changfeng’s actions weren’t really about caring, but about Tang Qiulu. He didn’t want her to be ridiculed by others because of his reputation.

After the Jiuwu Square incident, although many learned that the claims against Su Changfeng were mostly rumors, some people still didn’t know the truth. Since Shen Donglin spread those rumors, having him clarify them would be most appropriate and persuasive.

In reality, this small matter wasn’t worth it, but Su Changfeng did it all because he cared too much about Tang Qiulu.

Because he was about to leave, he didn’t want to leave any trouble in Jiang City for Tang Qiulu.

When Su Changfeng drove to the Emperor Building, Tang Qiulu’s expression turned particularly serious.

This was the first place Su Changfeng brought her for a surprise, and the scene on their wedding anniversary that year was unforgettable for Tang Qiulu.

For Tang Qiulu, Yunding Restaurant meant a lot, it was an exceptionally special place, and she wouldn’t come here unless it was for something special.

“Are you leaving?” Tang Qiulu suddenly asked Su Changfeng after he parked.

“Do you remember the situation on our wedding anniversary? Until now, many in Jiang City are still talking about it, but they don’t know who the main person was. This time, I want everyone to know, the roses that bloomed at Yunding Restaurant that day were all for you,” Su Changfeng said.

Facing Su Changfeng’s intentional change of topic, Tang Qiulu didn’t accept it and continued to ask, “Don’t avoid my question.”

Su Changfeng gave a bitter smile and said, “That’s right.”

Tang Qiulu held Su Changfeng’s hand without continuing to speak. She wouldn’t stop him, no matter what he went to do; she would just quietly wait.

When they arrived at Yunding Restaurant.

Su Changfeng had once again booked the entire Yunding Restaurant. The restaurant manager, who had hosted them once before, now showed even more respect to Su Changfeng. Rumors in Jiang City paint Su Changfeng as a cowardly son-in-law, but the manager knew well that Su Changfeng was now the most sought-after person in Jiang City.
