The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 988: Chapter 987: Birds of a Feather

Shen Donglin was so shocked his jaw nearly hit the floor. He had just spent so much time preparing to muster the courage to say these things in front of Su Changfeng, but he didn’t expect that Su Changfeng would actually have murderous intent.

Shen Donglin hurriedly slapped his own face hard, shamelessly saying, ”Brother Changfeng, I was just joking earlier, just saying those things casually, please don’t take it seriously with me.”

Seeing Shen Donglin begging bitterly for mercy, Su Changfeng felt disdain in his heart. Even the security guards in Su Changfeng’s house thought Shen Donglin was really too stupid — calling him a pig would be a compliment.

”Get lost right away. I advise you not to appear in front of me again, because the matter of the old lady from the Shen Family has yet to be settled, and you’re reminding me by showing up now.” Su Changfeng said disdainfully.

Upon hearing this, Shen Donglin was scared out of his wits, even though this matter had long been forgotten and had been put on the shelf for a long time. However, Shen Donglin didn’t think Su Changfeng could find any evidence now, but given Su Changfeng’s current status, even if he didn’t find evidence, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to fabricate one.

”I’ll leave, I’ll leave right away. I promise I won’t appear in front of you again.” Shen Donglin, in a panic, got into his car and drove away.

Though Shen Donglin left, Shen Siwen who stood where she was, was dumbfounded, taking a long time to come to her senses before shouting at Shen Donglin’s car, ”Shen Donglin, you bastard, I’m still here, come back immediately.”

Su Changfeng saw this scene and couldn’t help but laugh.

Then Shen Siwen kept looking eagerly at Su Changfeng, who said coldly, ”Go back to where you came from quickly, unless you want me to send someone to kick you out?”

Shen Siwen wanted to say something, but after glancing at Su Changfeng, she closed her mouth.

Walking on the road, Shen Siwen was shivering from the cold wind, thinking about things in her heart.

In her heart, Shen Siwen really resented Shen Donglin for forgetting about her, but more annoyingly, she was living a tight life while Han Xue was a rich lady.

For many years, Shen Siwen was unconvinced about Han Xue and always wanted to prove that she was living better than Han Xue. When Han Xue married Su Changfeng back then, she targeted Han Xue everywhere, saying a lot of sarcastic things. Moreover, she felt that Han Xue would never be able to hold her head up in front of her in this life.

But in reality, Su Changfeng wasn’t a useless son-in-law at all; he turned out to be the young master of the Ye Family from Beijing. All those times she laughed at Han Xue now feel like a blow to her face.

All of this made Shen Siwen both envious and jealous of Han Xue. She kept asking why an outstanding man like that became Han Xue’s husband.

Shen Siwen even fantasized in her mind, if Su Changfeng had married her instead of Han Xue back then, how wonderful would it have been?

But Shen Siwen only thought about how wonderful Han Xue’s life was now. She never considered whether she could endure the hardships Han Xue had gone through all these years.

Shen Siwen walked home with a mind filled with anger and resentment. When she got home, she angrily walked up to Shen Donglin, pointed at his nose, and said, ”You drove off so fast, leaving me there. Didn’t you realize I wasn’t in the car?”

In fact, Shen Donglin had realized early on that he left Shen Siwen there, but he didn’t want to drive back to find her. To him, Shen Siwen had almost no use anymore, so why bother going back? He even saved on gas.

”Aren’t you safe at home now?” he said in a completely nonchalant manner.

Hearing this, Shen Siwen’s anger flared up even more, her body trembling, partly due to being battered by the cold wind outside. She scolded, ”Shen Donglin, you useless waste. You used to be so arrogant in front of Su Changfeng, and now? You’re ingratiating yourself with him, begging in every way. I’m embarrassed for you.”

Kneeling down to Su Changfeng was Shen Donglin’s last gamble; he bet even his dignity on it, hoping to change his current situation, not wanting to be in poverty.

However, he didn’t get Su Changfeng’s forgiveness, and Su Changfeng even threatened him. This was the kind of thing he probably never wanted to bring up again, let alone let others talk about!

Shen Donglin abruptly stood up and slapped Shen Siwen across the face, scolding, ”Shen Siwen, let me tell you, it’s none of your business how I need to act or what I need to do. Also, how dare you talk about me? Why don’t you look in the mirror? Think about how you used to mock Han Xue. You always thought you were better than her, always wanting to compete with Han Xue, but can you compare to her? You’re not even good enough to carry her shoes.”

Shen Siwen covered her face, extremely aggrieved. She wanted to speak up to defend herself, but the facts were there. How could she refute them?

In the vast Jiang City, who could compare to Han Xue? Even if Shen Siwen married into a prominent family in Jiang City now, what use was it? No family could rival the Ye Family from Beijing. Even Jiang City’s once most powerful family, the Gu Family, now follows Su Changfeng’s lead, let alone the others.

”You’re right, I’m not even fit to carry Han Xue’s shoes, but at least I have some dignity. I wouldn’t kneel to him and beg like a lapdog wagging its tail,” Shen Siwen retorted unceremoniously. After all, Shen Donglin’s words had struck a chord with her, so she fought back anyway she could.

”Ha, you say I’m begging like a dog. If you knelt to Han Xue, and she gave you a chance, would you beg her or not, knowing you might return to the Shen Family Group if she forgave you?” Shen Donglin asked coldly.

To be given a chance? To return to the Shen Family Group?

That was a distant dream for Shen Siwen now. If only Han Xue could forgive her and allow her back into the Shen Family Group, she could restore her former life.

If kneeling before Han Xue could bring back those days, she would surely do it.

”Now you’re speechless. Obviously, you would also beg Han Xue. You’d make the same choice as me, so why are you pretending to stand on moral high ground, sneering at me?” Shen Donglin snorted coldly.
