The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 924: Chapter 923: Warm Faces, Cold Shoulders

”Su Changfeng, you’re such a bad person. Don’t you know I’m a girl too, that I can also get hurt? Why do you have to be so heartless and say such cruel things to me?” Yue Qingshan cried out.

”You don’t cherish yourself, even after I repeatedly rejected you, you keep forcing yourself on me. Is it really necessary? Just because you like me, does that mean I have to like you too?” Su Changfeng said coldly.

Yue Qingshan’s lips curled into a smile, but it was a smile of heartbreak.

Su Changfeng wasn’t wrong. She truly was forcing herself on someone who kept rejecting her, hoping to win his heart or tenderness. But what did she receive? Time and again, heartless words and being pushed away.

Yue Qingshan wanted to vent all her grievances in this moment, but with clenched fists, she held back and spoke, ”Everything I do is because I want to, and it has nothing to do with you, Su Changfeng, so you have no right to stop me.”

”If even the most basic dignity can be discarded, then what’s the meaning of a person living?” Su Changfeng said expressionlessly.

Seeing Yue Qingshan silent, Su Changfeng spoke again, ”Whatever you want to do has nothing to do with me, that’s true, but don’t cross the line, don’t keep intruding into my life.”

Hearing Su Changfeng’s cruel words once more, Yue Qingshan could no longer hold back, she didn’t have time to wipe her tears as she ran off. Despite her love for Su Changfeng, every time he said something hurtful, she pretended like nothing happened, already signifying that she had no principles in front of him.

However, lack of principles doesn’t mean Yue Qingshan can endlessly accept Su Changfeng’s cold treatment.

Su Changfeng’s words were too harsh, even strangers would feel hurt hearing them, let alone Yue Qingshan who loves Nie Changfeng deeply.

Watching Yue Qingshan’s distant figure, Su Changfeng could only shake his head silently. He knew his words hurt a girl’s self-esteem, but if he didn’t do this, Yue Qingshan would never give up on him, and he couldn’t allow her to hold such thoughts.

”Yue Qingshan, in this life I owe you.” Su Changfeng murmured to himself.

Meanwhile, after Su Changfeng and Yue Qingshan had just left, An Yufei noticed something strange around him, an air of danger hung heavily, indicating someone extraordinary, someone who could take him down in three moves.

”The great An Yufei, resorting to cleaning up messes for people.” The person remarked blandly.

An Yufei was shocked to hear the familiar voice, and as he turned around, spotting the person behind him, his eyes widened.

”Guan Shan.” An Yufei called out in disbelief.

Guan Shan was also Tuo Shi’s people, and from An Yufei’s surprise, it was clear Guan Shan’s status far surpassed his own; An Yufei was insignificant next to Guan Shan.

Within Tuo Shi, everyone knew Guan Shan held a high status, exceedingly talented, and it was his dream to become a disciple under Mr. Wu. Many said Guan Shan was ambitious, aiming to inherit Mr. Wu’s position afterward, thus he would do anything to make Mr. Wu recognize him as a disciple, granting him the opportunity.

Seeing Guan Shan at that moment, An Yufei understood why he was there. The news that Mr. Wu wanted to declare Su Changfeng as a Direct Disciple had spread across the Four Seas, how could Guan Shan be unaware?

Many might think the news was false, believing Su Changfeng a mere mortal, unworthy to be Mr. Wu’s disciple, and Mr. Wu couldn’t possibly accept him as one.

There were also rumors stating Mr. Wu wanted Su Changfeng as a Direct Disciple due to his limitless potential, believing that under Mr. Wu’s guidance, he would achieve great success.

Though various claims existed, all of which sounded particularly grating to Guan Shan. In his heart, he agreed with one notion: that Su Changfeng was unworthy of being Mr. Wu’s Direct Disciple.

”You look surprised to see me here?” Guan Shan asked.

An Yufei quickly composed himself, shook his head, and replied, ”Although your sudden appearance is unexpected, your presence here is reasonable.”

”Mr. Wu ordered you to protect that idiot Su Changfeng well, and it seems you’re doing a good job, even cleaning up after him.” Guan Shan said disdainfully.

To Guan Shan, eliminating these killers was as straightforward as squashing an ant, yet cleaning them up required asking An Yufei for help—this alone convinced Guan Shan of Su Changfeng’s incompetence, making him wonder how such a person could ever impress Mr. Wu.

”Since Mr. Wu entrusted the task, naturally, I’ll ensure it’s done well.” An Yufei said calmly, mentioning Mr. Wu to remind Guan Shan that Su Changfeng was Mr. Wu’s chosen person, cautioning him against rash actions.

Upon hearing this, Guan Shan’s gaze turned cold, filled with hostility as he spoke, ”Have you forgotten your status? Do you dare to threaten me now?”

”I’ve never dared forget my status, nor have I had the courage to threaten you, merely offering a reminder.” An Yufei explained.

In a flash, Guan Shan appeared before An Yufei, grasping his throat and lifting him off the ground.

”What abilities does the garbage Su Changfeng have to compare with me? I’m the one who deserves to be Mr. Wu’s Direct Disciple.” Guan Shan growled.

”Who will become Mr. Wu’s Direct Disciple, you or Su Changfeng, is none of my business—it’s not something a minor role like myself can decide.” An Yufei replied.

Guan Shan smirked coldly upon An Yufei’s reply, saying, ”I’m well aware of your motives; your eagerness to please that waste Su Changfeng is to seek better prospects within Tuo Shi by his influence.”

”You’re entirely correct; I indeed wish to use Su Changfeng’s influence to elevate my position within Tuo Shi. Whether Su Changfeng can impress Mr. Wu is not up to me, nor can I dictate Mr. Wu’s willingness to accept him. What use is it for you to grip my throat now?” An Yufei responded.
