The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1052: Chapter 1051: Brothers Gathering

Su Changfeng looked at Wang Tianhu with some surprise. To this day, Su Changfeng still remembers Wang Tianhu’s silly demeanor when he first came down the mountain to Jiang City, like a caveman entering the real world, or an ancient person suddenly traveling to the modern day, unfamiliar with everything. Even simple tasks like taking a bus were beyond Wang Tianhu.

But now, listening to Zhu Lie’s words, it seems he’s mixed quite well.

”Tianhu, it’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover, and the sea cannot be measured by an armful. If Zhu Lie hadn’t mentioned it, I really wouldn’t have noticed.” Su Changfeng praised.

Wang Tianhu awkwardly scratched the back of his head, then glared fiercely at Zhu Lie before respectfully saying to Ye Sanhai: ”Brother Changfeng, this vast world is really wonderful. There are delicious foods and fun things to do, and when there’s nothing else, you can always find something to do. It’s much better than practicing martial arts on the mountain, a hundred times better. My master always said city life is full of traps, but I guess he hasn’t experienced them himself. It’s great here.”

Su Changfeng laughed heartily, thinking to himself that Wang Tianhu had surely been charmed by a pretty girl, even questioning the words of his beloved master.

Indeed, the reality is that while the mountain is tranquil, it is sparsely populated, and transportation is not developed, offering little enjoyment. But in the city, it’s different, even if you feel bored, you can find fun.

”Tianhu, everyone has their own preferred way of life, and I won’t interfere with yours since it’s your own. However, as your brother, I must remind you: if you meet someone you like, cherish them dearly. Don’t let them down, only to realize later and end up regretting it for life.” Su Changfeng advised.

Wang Tianhu listened intently to Changfeng’s words, yet despite his serious expression, he couldn’t quite grasp the meaning behind them. To Wang Tianhu, who had embraced the pleasures of this dazzling world, everything around him was wonderful. Su Changfeng’s words were like playing the harp to a cow, as Wang Tianhu was solely enticed by physical enjoyment, without feeling emotions, much less understanding what love is.

After chatting for a while, they drove off, planning to go to the hot pot restaurant.

When Su Changfeng and the others arrived, there were only a few staff members and cooks working in the kitchen, plus two people: Xu Xiaoyong and the manager. Even the service staff was scarce.

The reason was that Xu Xiaoyong was considering peace and quiet, and he planned to personally host Su Changfeng, so he kept only a small number of servers.

Although Xu Xiaoyong had rehearsed this moment many times in his mind, seeing Su Changfeng step into the store still made his heart race.

This made sense, given that although the hot pot restaurant had good business, it was still newly opened and not yet scaled up. At this point, Xu Xiaoyong was still a small-time figure, and meeting Su Changfeng was already a rare opportunity in his life.

Su Changfeng’s presence at his restaurant was an honor, and surely in the future, due to Su Changfeng, the hot pot restaurant would see visits from more significant figures in Jiang City.

This was another reason why he wanted to personally serve Su Changfeng; he feared some careless server might offend him.

”Xu Xiaoyong, relax a bit, we’re just here for a casual meal, no need to be so tense.” Su Changfeng quickly noticed the nervousness in Xu Xiaoyong and comforted him.

Xu Xiaoyong hurriedly nodded, but Su Changfeng’s words had the opposite effect, making him even more anxious, his legs almost going weak.

”President Ye, it’s my great honor that you’re dining at my humble establishment. Rest assured, all our ingredients are the freshest.” Xu Xiaoyong recited his prepared greeting, though he still stammered a bit.

Su Changfeng glanced over at Zhu Lie and the others, smiling as he said: ”Xu Xiaoyong, it’s not enough that the ingredients are fresh. Is the wine stocked well? I’m planning to drink all of them under the table tonight.”

”President Ye, rest assured, the wine is sufficient. I’ve prepared some excellent wines.” Xu Xiaoyong replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lie, feeling defiant, proudly said to Su Changfeng: ”Hmph, who goes under first tonight isn’t certain yet. I’ll put it out there, whoever goes under first tomorrow is a coward.”

”Haha, Zhu Lie, you said it yourself, don’t go back on your words later.”

”I, Zhu Lie, once I speak, no horse can take it back.”

”Alright, Xu Xiaoyong, bring the wine.”

As they downed glass after glass, they started reminiscing about old times. Although Wang Tianhu wasn’t familiar with many of the stories, to him they sounded like tales from a storyteller. He couldn’t have imagined that the once scorned Su Changfeng among many in Jiang City, even being called a worthless son-in-law, would have transformed into the figure he is today. Wang Tianhu struggled to conceive how those people who mocked Su Changfeng might be deeply regretting it now.

”Brother Changfeng, those who used to mock you, are they silent now?” Wang Tianhu asked with a smile.

As he was about to stand up drunkenly, Zhu Lie said very politely: ”They wouldn’t dare say anything. I always felt that Changfeng was quite cunning. You don’t know, those years, no matter what happened, he would insist on picking up Shen Hanxue, an endurance unmatched by others.”

Su Changfeng waved Zhu Lie off with a smile and said: ”Are we talking? What’s with suddenly standing up? Is it to show you’re tall?”

Having said this, Su Changfeng glanced at Wang Tianhu, who was sitting nearby.

Wang Tianhu chuckled foolishly, then stood up from his seat, towering over Zhu Lie. Zhu Lie gave Wang Tianhu a glare and obediently sat back down.

”Time flies. Back in the day, I was just a wandering hooligan on the streets. Changfeng came to Jiang City and threw a suitcase of money in front of me, telling me soon, I would become the underworld boss of Jiang City. At that time, I thought Changfeng was a fool, but to my surprise, within a week, I was indeed the boss of Jiang City’s underworld. However, my only regret is not maintaining that position, but betraying Changfeng’s trust.” Feng Bin spoke with no trace of blaming Su Changfeng, nor did he feel Changfeng failed to give him a chance. He understood that the past was mishandled by him and did not showcase his authority as a supreme leader.
