The City's Strongest Son-in-law-Chapter 171: Now You Can’t Afford Shoes

"Sigh." Gu Qing’er sighed once again. Now that Grandpa wasn’t asking him to play chess, she had no reason to ask Su Changfeng out.

At this moment, someone called Gu Qing’er. She weakly pulled out her phone and was instantly dumbfounded. Three seconds later, as if someone injected her with adrenaline, she was jumping around.

On the phone screen, the words "Little White Horse" could be seen. It was the nickname Gu Qing’er had given Su Changfeng.

"Grandpa, Su Changfeng actually called me." Gu Qing’er was excited beyond control, stamping her feet, her pretty face turning crimson red.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng smiled, but in truth, he was particularly anxious inside.

He had warned Gu Qing’er not to fall too deeply, but now she seemed to be ignoring his advice.

But Gu Changsheng could understand; in Hai City, aside from his not-so-great reputation, finding someone as outstanding as Su Changfeng was nearly impossible.

"Hurry up and answer the call, otherwise if Su Changfeng hangs up, you’ll have nowhere to cry." Gu Changsheng reminded her.

"Right, right, right." Gu Qing’er immediately calmed down, adjusted her breathing, and answered the call.

"Why are you calling me?" Gu Qing’er sat on the sofa, putting on a cold and aloof expression.

"Is Old Master Gu at home? I want to meet him." Su Changfeng said.

Gu Qing’er’s face instantly showed displeasure. That bastard Su Changfeng called her, but not to see her, rather to see Grandpa?

But him coming to their house could also be counted as a chance to meet.

"Hmph, who do you think you are, that you can see Grandpa just because you say so?" Gu Qing’er said arrogantly.

"Oh, then forget it."

Hearing this, Gu Qing’er feared Su Changfeng would hang up and quickly said, "At home, at home, Grandpa is at home. When will you come over?"

On the other end, Su Changfeng was a bit amused. This Miss Gu was quite funny.

Not only did Su Changfeng find it funny, but so did Gu Changsheng.

"Alright, I’ll head over immediately." Su Changfeng said.

After hanging up, Gu Qing’er noticed Gu Changsheng was laughing at her and realized she was a bit too excited earlier. She quickly raised her fist to threaten Gu Changsheng, saying: "Grandpa, I’m telling you, if you dare tell anyone about this, watch out for your beard!"

The old man was frightened and quickly covered his chin, evidently very scared, saying: "What are you thinking? Grandpa wouldn’t do such an unethical thing, don’t worry, Grandpa will keep your secret."

From a young age, Gu Qing’er tormented Gu Changsheng by pulling his beard, which was a lifetime nightmare for him, a pain beyond words.

But looking at the entire Gu Family, only this little princess dared to do such things.

Soon after, Su Changfeng arrived at the Gu Family.

Gu Qing’er personally greeted him outside. Seeing Su Changfeng arrived, she felt inexplicably joyful, but she still acted proud in front of him.

"What are you doing here to see Grandpa?" Gu Qing’er asked with her hands on her hips.

Su Changfeng saw Gu Qing’er standing barefoot and fortunately, it was morning, the ground hadn’t been sunbathed yet. Otherwise, if she stood there any longer, she could be marinated with sauce and cumin.

"Miss Gu, can’t you afford shoes now?" Su Changfeng chuckled.

"That’s right, planning to gift me a pair?" Gu Qing’er replied proudly.

Su Changfeng shrugged and said: "You wear all those brand names. I’m just a commoner; I can’t afford them."

"Tch, do you think I’m that kind of person? By the way, I gave you a car before, how about a pair of shoes in return?" Gu Qing’er asked.

"Hmm, that’s happily decided."

Gu Qing’er said and ran back inside, having finally found a chance. But to avoid Su Changfeng rejecting, she ran off before he could speak.

Su Changfeng helplessly smiled. This Gu Family’s eldest daughter wasn’t bad-tempered, but sometimes indeed a bit domineering.

When he entered the living room, Gu Changsheng was brewing tea and inviting Su Changfeng.

Old Master Gu was indeed particular about tea, and the tea he used had quite high standards. After pouring a cup for Su Changfeng, he drank it directly.

"How does it taste?" Gu Changsheng asked.

"Quenches thirst." Su Changfeng wasn’t knowledgeable about tea and certainly wouldn’t bluff in front of someone like Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng glared at him and said: "Such vulgarity, I think you’re suited for plain boiled water!"

"Ahem, mind your manners when speaking to the master." Su Changfeng straightened up and said somewhat seriously.

Gu Changsheng deflated like a balloon but the words were already out, so he quickly poured another cup for Su Changfeng.

This time, Su Changfeng came to find Gu Changsheng for a favor, only doing a bit of posturing and not seriously engaging. He wouldn’t stoop to Sun Mei’s shamelessness.

"I came here to ask for a favor, old master." Su Changfeng said.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng smiled and asked, "Does it have anything to do with the Tang Family?"

Living for most of his life, the saying people grow wise with age was true. He could guess this matter, which Su Changfeng also found normal. He said: "The Tang Family hopes you might offer your approval, could you help?"

"It’s not impossible, but currently, the Tang Family truly isn’t worth my attention." Gu Changsheng said. Indeed, it was true and with Gu Qing’er showing special favor to Su Changfeng currently, she was also unwilling to help the Tang Family.

Granting approval was quite easy, but obtaining Old Master Gu’s approval would offer the Tang Family notable benefits in Hai City. Why would Gu Changsheng help his granddaughter’s adversaries?

Understanding Gu Changsheng’s words, Su Changfeng nodded.

The Tang Family believed the West District project could alter their current position and indeed ascend somewhat. However, in front of a grand family like the Gu Family, it still counted for little.

The Gu Family covered all industries in Hai City; although not monopolizing Hai City, at least half of its economy was driven by the Gu Family. Such immense influence made the Tang Family’s minor maneuvers dismissible in Gu Changsheng’s eyes.

At that moment, Gu Qing’er, who returned specially to change clothes, reappeared in the living room, having sprayed some perfume as well.

"Is there another way, old master?" Su Changfeng, seeing the particularly cute Gu Qing’er, turned to ask Gu Changsheng. freewebnøvel_com

"Indeed there is. The Gu Family has many industries, and having one of them cooperate with the Tang Family could count as giving them face." Gu Changsheng said.
