The City’s Strongest Son-in-law
Chapter 35 - 35 35 The Conspiracy Begins

35: Chapter 35: The Conspiracy Begins 35: Chapter 35: The Conspiracy Begins Su Changfeng furrowed his brow; he knew about this matter too, and had instructed Feng Bin to investigate it.

He had also secretly captured some people and tried all sorts of methods, but still had no information whatsoever.

That person was clearly exceptionally cautious, but why would Tang Xiangdong know?

“When are you meeting that person tomorrow?” Su Changfeng asked,

This matter definitely had something fishy going on, and he wasn’t at ease with Tang Qiulu going alone.

“I’m not sure yet; Tang Xiangdong said he’ll notify me then,” Tang Qiulu replied.

“I’ll be your assistant then, and go with you,” Su Changfeng said.

The two returned home as usual.

Su Changfeng went to cook, but usually, it was just him alone in the kitchen.

Lately, Tang Qiulu would also come to help and try making a dish, but the dishes she cooked were basically unservable, really unbearable to look at; they were burnt black, making it hard to tell what the dish originally was.

In the living room, Sun Mei asked Tang Zhenhua, “Zhenhua, have you noticed?

Our daughter seems a bit different lately?”

Tang Zhenhua was aware too; Tang Qiulu used to never appear in the kitchen and treated Su Changfeng like a stranger, but lately, she would help Su Changfeng and even chat more with Su Canghai.

“Maybe our daughter is slowly accepting Su Canghai,” Tang Zhenhua said.

This was the last thing Sun Mei wanted to hear.

She pinched Tang Zhenhua and said, “Accept him?

Are we really going to let our daughter spend the rest of her life with this coward?”

Tang Zhenhua was very cowardly himself, so he wasn’t qualified to criticize Su Changfeng.

Currently, in Tang Zhenhua’s view, it was a good thing; the two didn’t need to divorce, and the Old Madam wouldn’t be unhappy.

“What’s wrong with it?

Our daughter is capable now; even if there’s a coward at home, it’s fine,” Tang Zhenhua said indifferently.

Sun Mei glared at Tang Zhenhua, saying, “You’ve already been so cowardly in our family, and now you want another coward?

Do you know what my family members secretly say about me?”

Tang Zhenhua awkwardly scratched his head and said, “They’re just blabbermouths; don’t take what they say to heart.

Qiulu is at a crucial moment now; are you really planning to force her to divorce?

If the Old Madam finds out, she won’t forgive us, right?”

Sun Mei sighed helplessly.

The key to making them divorce was the Old Madam; if she disagreed, no one dared to say a word.

Now that Tang Qiulu had gained a position in the company, divorcing them at this point was clearly impossible.

“One year, right?

I’m curious to see what this coward can achieve in a year,” Sun Mei said.

“What’s one year?” Tang Zhenhua asked, puzzled.

“Nothing, just a trivial matter,” Sun Mei said dismissively.

She didn’t believe that Su Changfeng would achieve anything within a year; now he’s still idling at home, except for the added task of picking up and dropping off Tang Qiulu daily.

To say a driver could succeed within a year?

Sun Mei didn’t think so.

“By the way, lately there’s an Audi downstairs, also a new car.

Do you know whose it is?

It’s parked right next to ours,” Sun Mei said, somewhat surprised.

Previously, no one seemed to have bought a new car; why, as soon as their car was bought, did another identical one appear?

“Yeah, I got confused before too; I opened the wrong car door.

Both cars are new and have no license plates, which left me puzzled.

But whose it is, I’m really not sure.”

Sun Mei was just asking; hearing this, she didn’t inquire further.

After dinner, Su Changfeng first took a bath, then filled the bathtub with water, because lately, Tang Qiulu was quite tired, and could have a soak to relax upon returning.

Lying down for less than 30 minutes, Tang Qiulu returned to the room.

She wrapped a white towel around her body like a strapless dress, and a cleavage subtly showed.

Having just finished bathing, her body glistened with drops of water, making her appear alluringly like a blossom emerging from water.

Su Changfeng quickly turned away, no longer looking at her; it was already the height of summer, and tough times were ahead.

“Today, Lin Qingmeng came to see me again, saying she’s planning to take you away from me—how do you feel about that?” Tang Qiulu lay on the bed, having applied a face mask, and asked Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng found it amusing; he merely played the piano on a whim, and now it resulted in this?

But it was certain that Lin Qingmeng was just joking.

“She’s just saying it casually,” Su Changfeng said.

“Definitely playing around; do you actually wish it was true?” Tang Qiulu’s tone changed slightly.

Su Changfeng laughed and said, “The weather seems to have turned cold.”

“Cold?

I feel a bit hot; if you feel cold, go sleep on the sofa,” Tang Qiulu said.

Su Changfeng looked at Tang Qiulu lying in bed, her beautiful legs carelessly positioned.

Knowing he had missed the previous opportunity, he wasn’t sure how long until the next chance would come; so he changed the subject, “I think the troubles Tang family has been encountering lately are related to Tang Xiangdong.”

If these issues couldn’t even be investigated by Feng Bin, yet Tang Xiangdong knew what was going on, it was completely illogical!

Su Changfeng contemplated for a long time and concluded there was only one possibility: Tang Xiangdong was the mastermind behind all this.

“Can’t be, can it?

Although he dislikes me, he surely wouldn’t harm the Tang Family, right?

If the Old Madam found out, everything he’s done would be over,” Tang Qiulu said in shock.

Su Changfeng sneered and said, “Whether it’s Tang Xiangdong or not will soon become clear.”

That night, Tang Xiangdong arranged to meet Liu Hu.

Liu Hu was very excited at the opportunity to discuss this matter personally with Tang Qiulu.

Three years ago, before Su Changfeng joined the Tang Family, many admired Tang Qiulu and hoped to be with her, which is why their wedding was a widely known affair across Hai City.

On that day three years ago, all the men in Hai City were utterly desperate, cursing Su Changfeng.

This time, having the chance to interact with Tang Qiulu, and knowing she had never been touched by Su Changfeng, Liu Hu couldn’t help but be thrilled!

“You’ve done well.

From now on, whenever you encounter difficulties, just come to me; I’ll definitely handle them for you,” Liu Hu said.

Tang Xiangdong looked vicious; once Tang Qiulu was taken care of, he’d have no troubles.

Then, the position of Chairman would be his.

Recalling how Tang Qiulu had arrogantly taken charge lately, and even bought a new car, Tang Xiangdong felt enraged; she seemed a bit too proud.
