The City's Strongest Son-in-law-Chapter 168: The Ridiculous Grandmother

When Su Changfeng got home, he found Grandma Tang sitting in the living room. Why did she suddenly come?

"Su Changfeng, why don’t you greet Grandma quickly?" Sun Mei reproached Su Changfeng.

"What wind prompted you to personally come here, Grandma?" Su Changfeng laughed. freeweɓnovel-cøm

"Su Changfeng, now you’re very capable, huh? You actually have such a good relationship with Old Master Gu? If not for you, would Tang Xiangdong be disgraced today? I have to ask you, did you deliberately make the Tang Family lose face?" Grandma Tang asked sternly.

"Did you get something wrong? Grandma, I didn’t initially propose the gambling agreement. Before you come questioning me, why not go ask Tang Xiangdong how he could be so foolish?" Su Changfeng said coldly.

"You..." Grandma Tang was so angry she was grinding her teeth. If she hadn’t doubted Su Changfeng’s ability to attend Gu Changsheng’s birthday banquet, she would have stopped Tang Xiangdong right away, because Su Changfeng kneeling meant nothing but a show to her, not important.

But who would have thought Su Changfeng would actually participate?

Now, Su Changfeng’s mood was a bit sour due to Ji Hong asking him to return to Beijing, so he surely wouldn’t speak kindly to Grandma Tang.

Had it been earlier, Su Changfeng might not have argued with her, because this had happened before, and letting her complain a bit wouldn’t have been a big deal. However, now he just couldn’t bear listening to Grandma’s nagging.

"It’s not my fault, Grandma. I won’t take the blame." Su Changfeng said assertively.

Grandma Tang was furious, shaking all over. Su Changfeng, that coward, dared to act high-handed in front of her?

Next to them, Sun Mei, seeing this emotion, instantly got a little anxious too.

Despite the family living in the mountain villa, they still needed to rely on the Tang Family to survive. If Grandma Tang was unhappy, it’d be troublesome for Tang Qiulu.

"Su Changfeng, quickly apologize to Grandma. How could you talk to her with this attitude?" Sun Mei admonished.

Su Changfeng ignored Sun Mei, continuing to say to Grandma: "If I kneel for Tang Xiangdong, would you think it should be that way?"

"You, coward, kneeling — what’s wrong with that?" Grandma bluntly replied.

Su Changfeng laughed coldly, saying: "You’ve said it yourself, then why should I apologize to you?"

"Fine, I can overlook it, since it’s already happened. But you must restore Tang Family’s lost face at the birthday banquet!" Grandma declared.

"Restore?" Su Changfeng showed a playful smile, asking: "How do you plan for me to restore it?"

"Speak positively for the Tang Family in front of Old Master Gu. If you can make him acknowledge Tang Family’s status in Hai City, that would be even better." Grandma’s tone was not negotiating with Su Canghai but giving orders.

Su Changfeng shook his head. Grandma coming to question him wasn’t about standing up for Tang Xiangdong. Her true aim for this visit was now clear.

Getting Gu Changsheng to recognize Tang Family’s status in Hai City would effectively bring the Tang Family into Hai City’s first-class ranks, wouldn’t it?

Grandma Tang’s plan was indeed clever, but she was still condescendingly asking for his help.

No matter how useless Su Changfeng may have been in the Tang Family earlier, he wouldn’t let Grandma go overboard now.

It’s not impossible to help, but if you’re asking me for a favor, you should show some attitude, right?

"You want me to do something for the Tang Family, but you still look down on me, why should I do it?" Su Changfeng said blandly.

"Because this is an opportunity for you to redeem yourself." Grandma still appeared arrogantly as though Su Changfeng had made a mistake and had to use this chance to make amends.

Su Changfeng couldn’t help but laugh — it was truly amusing. A chance for redemption?

But did Su Changfeng really need to redeem himself?

The issue was entirely Tang Xiangdong’s doing, and the Tang Family losing face at the banquet was because of Tang Xiangdong; Su Changfeng wouldn’t take this blame.

"Sorry, I don’t need it." Su Changfeng replied coldly.

Grandma gritted her teeth, glaring at Su Changfeng harshly, saying: "Don’t think just because Tang Qiulu is in charge of that project, you can lean on her and disregard me. I could remove her from her position right now with just one word."

"I’ll be waiting to see." With that, Su Changfeng returned to his room.

Grandma Tang’s threat was ridiculous.

Whether Tang Qiulu was in charge directly affected whether the Tang Family could survive. Would she really dare do such a thing? Would she dare gamble the Tang Family’s future in a fit of anger?

She couldn’t, and she didn’t have the courage.

Grandma Tang was trembling all over with anger. For the past three years, Su Changfeng had been a character depicted as a coward, but now as Tang Qiulu’s status in the group rose, Su Changfeng’s attitude had become increasingly arrogant.

Grandma Tang knew Su Changfeng was relying on something, but if she truly had to use that method to handle Su Changfeng, the Tang Family would also collapse, and she couldn’t do it.

"Sun Mei, Su Changfeng is truly a good son-in-law, not bothering to care about me anymore!" Grandma said with a cold voice.

Sun Mei, most frightened of Grandma Tang, quickly said: "Mother, I was going to let Qiulu divorce him, but Qiulu is unwilling."

Grandma Tang hadn’t asked Tang Qiulu to divorce Su Changfeng earlier because she estimated the family’s rapid progress, not wanting the Tang Family to be laughed at in Hai City.

But now, with Su Changfeng being so arrogant, Grandma couldn’t help but wish for them to divorce, because once Tang Qiulu gets controlled by Su Changfeng, it would be a significant threat to the Tang Family.

However... Grandma Tang had to admit that Su Changfeng still had some value for the Tang Family at the moment. No matter how he managed to establish a good relationship, currently, Gu Changsheng did value him, enabling the Tang Family to leverage this to strengthen ties with the Gu Family, thus easing their path into the noble family ranks.

"I’ll give you three days to persuade Tang Qiulu to ask Su Changfeng to do it. Otherwise, you can forget about having a good life." Grandma threatened.

Sun Mei nodded rapidly, replying: "Mother, don’t worry, I’ll convince Tang Qiulu to do it. Su Changfeng, the coward, doesn’t listen to anyone right now, but he will listen to Tang Qiulu."

Grandma took one last reluctant look at the mountain villa before leaving. If she weren’t concerned about her reputation, she would’ve shamelessly moved in because this was the place she had longed to live in all her life.
