The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 1067: Chapter 1066: Ji Hong Pleads for Mercy

“Then I’ll go meet him first.” After Su Changfeng finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Shen Hanxue.

Shen Hanxue understood, nodded slightly, and said to Su Changfeng, “Mm, remember to come home early, there’s chicken soup waiting for you.”

“Okay!” Su Changfeng responded with a smile, then turned and left.

Ye Qingtian was all smiles. Although he tried to control himself, he was just too happy to keep it in.

“The Shangguan Family is one of the top families in the world, and Shangguan Sichen is so full of himself. Yet, now he’s begging Chang Feng like this. I’m truly pleased.” Ye Qingtian said with a face full of smiles.

“Old Master, Shangguan Sichen’s obsession with Tuo Shi definitely hides some unspeakable motive. Moreover, someone like him, an old fox, surely has his own plans.” Huo Tian said thoughtfully.

Ye Qingtian nodded slightly, understanding the logic well. After all, someone as cunning as Shangguan Sichen wouldn’t give the position of the family head of the Shangguan Family to Su Changfeng without a motive. However, Ye Qingtian wasn’t very worried because his grandson Su Changfeng was a strategic genius.

Even though Shangguan Sichen was three times Su Changfeng’s age, in terms of scheming, Su Changfeng was more than capable.

“I believe the contest between Chang Feng and Shangguan Sichen will definitely be triumphant. Judging from the current situation, things are in Chang Feng’s favor.” Ye Qingtian said, smiling.

Huo Tian nodded slightly, agreeing with Ye Qingtian’s perspective.

At this moment, Ye Qingtian noticed Ji Hong seemed to have something to say but was somewhat hesitant and in a bit of a dilemma.

“Ji Hong, what do you want to say? Speak freely.” Ye Qingtian said to Ji Hong.

Ji Hong first looked at Shen Hanxue, then, after thinking for a moment, said, “Dad, Ye Weijun is still in Qin City. It’s almost the New Year, a time for family reunions. Should we let him come out?”

The reason Ji Hong initially looked at Shen Hanxue was that Ye Weijun had previously pretended to be Su Changfeng in Jiang City, nearly deceiving Shen Hanxue into marrying him.

Ji Hong was aware that since the family was now harmonious, she shouldn’t have mentioned Ye Weijun, but she couldn’t help it. Both hands and back are tender—after all, Ye Weijun was her biological son!

As Shen Hanxue heard these words, she didn’t express an opinion but stood up from the sofa and returned to her bedroom.

Seeing this, Ji Hong felt a deep sense of helplessness.

“Everything Ye Weijun is going through now is the consequence of his past misdeeds. He’s an adult now; you can’t babysit him forever. Let him bear what he should bear.” Ye Qingtian said somewhat helplessly. He once had high hopes for his grandson Ye Weijun, but instead of striving for progress as a member of the Ye Family, he used his status to commit various misdeeds outside, really bringing shame to the family.

Ye Weijun enjoyed the prestige of the Ye Family, especially when Shangguan Feihong was around; whatever Ye Weijun wanted, Shangguan Feihong would help him get.

But look at Su Changfeng, even family servants ignored him from childhood, never enjoying a day like a young master of the Ye Family. Yet, even in such a harsh environment, he managed to overcome all obstacles and prove his strength, leading the Ye Family to greater development under his leadership.

As the saying goes, comparisons are odious. To Ye Qingtian, Ye Weijun was just a wastrel. If the family’s business were handed to him, it wouldn’t be long before it would all be squandered. Therefore, Ye Weijun was not fit to be part of the Ye Family.

“Dad, Ye Weijun has no future now; he’s just a wasted person. He doesn’t pose a threat to Chang Feng. Since it’s the New Year, let him come home for a few days.” Ji Hong said, her eyes red.

“Ji Hong, have you forgotten why he became a waste? If he hadn’t harbored ill intentions towards Shen Hanxue back then, do you think Chang Feng wouldn’t treat him well as a brother? You should know that Ye Weijun is a scar in Shen Hanxue’s heart, so don’t mention him in front of Chang Feng and Shen Hanxue anymore.” Ye Qingtian said with a serious expression.

This isn’t because Ye Qingtian is heartless; it’s just that Ye Weijun brought this upon himself. If he had succeeded back then, he might not just be a waste now—he’d likely be lying in a grave.

Ye Qingtian did not pity Ye Weijun. A man should face the consequences of his actions. Given his current miserable state, who can he blame?

“Dad, I understand.” Ji Hong sighed helplessly. She felt pity for Ye Weijun, but he was indeed at fault first, and he wronged Chang Feng, so she absolutely couldn’t bring it up in front of him.

Meanwhile, Su Changfeng met Shangguan Sichen at a hotel, and Shangguan Sichen was extremely excited.

Since the banquet ended, Shangguan Sichen stayed at this hotel in Jiang City, waiting for Su Changfeng to have time to discuss some matters face-to-face.

“Chang Feng, are you not busy now? If you’re free, why not come with me to the Shangguan Family? After all, to inherit the position of Family Head, some ceremonies need to be prepared.” Shangguan Sichen said.

Su Changfeng glanced at Shangguan Wenchuan, who was by Shangguan Sichen’s side. Right now, Shangguan Wenchuan was the only male with a pure bloodline in the Shangguan Family. By family inheritance rules, the position of Family Head should belong to him.

“After the New Year, I estimate I’ll head to Tuo Shi immediately; how could I have time to go to the Shangguan Family?” Su Changfeng said casually.

Hearing this, Shangguan Sichen was troubled. After a long while, he asked, “Can’t you squeeze in a visit? It won’t take much time.”

“Elder Wu is already in Jiang City, wanting me to go to Tuo Shi. Do you plan to compete with him for me?” Su Changfeng said flatly.

Upon hearing Elder Wu’s name, Shangguan Sichen’s expression changed. He certainly didn’t dare compete with Elder Wu, but he was puzzled—Elder Wu was also in Jiang City now?

Although he didn’t dare compete with Elder Wu, as he couldn’t afford to offend him, the urgency of the Shangguan Family Head position was pressing!

“If you want me to take the Shangguan Family Head position, I’ll accept it. As for the complicated rituals, I think they’re unnecessary. But you know, I’ll soon leave for Tuo Shi, so I can’t stay to manage family affairs. Therefore, let Shangguan Wenchuan handle family matters for now; what do you think?” Su Changfeng said clearly.
