The City's Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1297: Chapter 1296: When Rivals in Love Meet

However, in Shen Rushuang’s eyes, the person who could originally speak this way was actually herself. If the Shen Family hadn’t driven Su Changfeng away, if she hadn’t confused fish eyes with pearls and looked down on Su Changfeng, things might not have developed to this point, and she might still be securely sitting in the position of Su Changfeng’s wife.

But, there’s no ’if’.

"Yu’er, what are you doing?" Just as the two were at a stalemate, Su Changfeng’s voice came from inside.

Qiutang Yu’er replied directly: "Nothing, just a crazy woman insists on coming in."

"Su Changfeng, it’s me, Shen Rushuang. Can we meet?" Shen Rushuang feared that due to Qiutang Yu’er’s actions, she wouldn’t be able to see Su Changfeng, so she had to shout loudly, hoping Su Changfeng would notice the commotion outside. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"Crazy woman, I told you not to come in, do you have to be so shameless!" Qiutang Yu’er angrily glared at her, silently regretting not chasing her away earlier. Now that Su Changfeng noticed, they would definitely meet today.

Hearing Shen Rushuang’s voice outside, Su Changfeng was indeed surprised. Previously, a maid had come and said Shen Rushuang wanted to see him, which puzzled Su Changfeng. From the maid’s words, Su Changfeng could sense that Shen Rushuang’s attitude towards him seemed a bit different.

Now, Shen Rushuang unexpectedly came in person, and Su Changfeng wondered if there was something wrong with her mind.

"Yu’er, let her in." Su Changfeng said.

Qiutang Yu’er snorted; she’s reluctant to let Shen Rushuang in. But since Su Changfeng had spoken, she didn’t have the courage to drive her away.

Unwillingly opening the door to let Shen Rushuang in, Qiutang Yu’er was indeed not reconciled and glared at Shen Rushuang, saying: "I’ve heard you’re a rich young lady, didn’t expect you to be so shameless, truly rare."

Shen Rushuang, pampered and loved since childhood, had never suffered such humiliation. But now, she disregarded all these things as she only wanted to see Su Changfeng. The rest didn’t matter. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Entering and seeing the courtyard resembling a paradise, Shen Rushuang felt a wave of bitterness.

Back then, she arrogantly thought that without the Shen Family’s support, Su Changfeng would be as lowly as dust, trampled by others. But now it seemed she had really thought too much. Not only did Su Changfeng not fall into the ruin she imagined, but he was doing increasingly well.

The small courtyard in front of her, although it couldn’t compare to the Shen Family’s prosperity, was exquisite and warm, more suitable for long-term living.

Walking toward Su Changfeng, Shen Rushuang’s heart suddenly began to pound, not knowing why. Su Changfeng had always been handsome; back then she thought this man merely had looks, was just a pretty face, not worthy of her attention.

But now, seeing Su Changfeng again, she thought the man in front of her was so handsome, with deep and captivating eyes, not only handsome but also carried an allure that no one else had, inexplicably attracting people’s gaze.

"Why are you looking for me?" Su Changfeng looked at Shen Rushuang strangely and asked.

Shen Rushuang glanced at Qiutang Yu’er, as if avoiding something.

Qiutang Yu’er, enraged by Shen Rushuang’s suspicious look, gritted her teeth and said: "I am his wife, he is my husband. Is there anything you need to avoid me for?"

This girl was spouting nonsense, but Su Changfeng didn’t bother to explain much to Shen Rushuang since it wasn’t necessary.

Shen Rushuang’s heart sank. While she had initially doubted Qiutang Yu’er, seeing Su Changfeng not refute, it seemed this matter was true.

"You’ve already found a new wife so quickly." Shen Rushuang said despairingly.

Qiutang Yu’er felt even more triumphant; since Su Changfeng didn’t debunk her, she could oppress Shen Rushuang from a status standpoint.

"What kind of talk is this? What’s between us has nothing to do with you, does it?" Qiutang Yu’er said with displeasure.

Seeing Qiutang Yu’er being aggressive, Shen Rushuang was naturally angry, but what Qiutang Yu’er said was indeed correct, and she had no reason to refute her.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll speak directly. The reason I’m here is that I want to clarify some things." Shen Rushuang said.

Su Changfeng nodded, indicating she could ask freely.

Shen Rushuang took a deep breath, inevitably feeling a bit nervous when she really wanted to get clear answers.

"Earlier you said that the fourth-rank experts sought by the Li Family and Wu Family died at your hands, is that true?" Shen Rushuang asked.

"That’s right, I told you before, but you didn’t believe it." Su Changfeng said. Previously, when Shen Rushuang insisted on asking, he didn’t hide it. However, back then, Shen Rushuang just thought he was joking.

Shen Rushuang’s expression changed. Previously, when Su Changfeng told her, she was just angry; after all, in her eyes, Su Changfeng was a worthless person. How could a worthless person kill a fourth-rank expert?

Suppressing her emotions, Shen Rushuang continued to ask: "During the previous hunting tournament, from start to finish, it was just the three of us, right?"

Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng looked at Shen Rushuang; by now, he finally understood Shen Rushuang’s intent. It turned out she had suspicions, maybe even found some evidence that proved he was hiding his strength.

Su Changfeng found it amusing; logically, he should have anticipated this result long ago. Otherwise, why would the high and mighty Shen Family’s young lady possibly change her attitude toward him?

But he always thought he hadn’t exposed any clues, so he never considered this point.

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Su Changfeng raised an eyebrow.

"Many incredible things are related to you; the only explanation is that you’re not the worthless person I thought." Shen Rushuang said.

Qiutang Yu’er heard this and burst out laughing. Apparently, this stupid woman always regarded Su Changfeng as worthless; it’s really ridiculous. The Shen Family didn’t have a single person with insight, they deserved to miss such a great opportunity.

"Is that so? Maybe there are other explanations, maybe these are just coincidences?" Su Changfeng said.

Shen Rushuang shook her head, eyes determined, saying: "It absolutely cannot be all coincidence. Even if it were, how could it all be related to you? You’re Wang Junyi’s master, aren’t you?"

Upon hearing Shen Rushuang’s words, Su Changfeng didn’t answer directly but said: "Now I have no connection with the Shen Family anymore. Pursuing these things holds no significance. You’ve asked what you needed; you can leave now."

Shen Rushuang kept shaking her head; after confirming, how could she leave so casually? She still hoped to persuade Su Changfeng to change his mind, to bring him back to their Shen Family.
