Chapter 468: Chapter 469: The Gu Family’s Decision
This means that the woman named Ye Qingcheng is particularly powerful, powerful enough to make Su Changfeng afraid.
"Su Changfeng, hurry up and sort out that woman from earlier. I don’t want to see her in Jiang City in the future." Sun Mei commanded Su Changfeng in a commanding tone. She was very displeased by Ye Qingcheng’s arrogance and, therefore, didn’t want to see her in Jiang City.
Su Changfeng smiled helplessly. Ye Qingcheng wasn’t someone just any ordinary person could compare to, and driving her out of Jiang City wasn’t easy, as she had the backing of the M Country Su Family.
"Mom, this matter isn’t as simple as you think," Su Changfeng said.
Sun Mei frowned at Su Changfeng: "Are you telling me you can’t even handle a woman? Letting her stay in Jiang City might pose a threat to Qiulu in the future. If Qiulu is in any danger, I won’t forgive you!"
"You don’t need to worry; no one can harm Qiulu," Su Changfeng stated.
"Changfeng, is that Ye Qingcheng especially formidable?" Tang Qiulu asked softly.
Su Changfeng exhaled heavily and said seriously, "Not only is she exceptionally formidable, but Ye Qingcheng’s identity is also beyond your wildest dreams."
Hearing this, Sun Mei chuckled with disdain and said, "How formidable could she possibly be? This is Jiang City, and in Jiang City, the Gu Family calls the shots. With your good relations with the Gu Family, don’t tell me you can’t handle her."
Tang Qiulu turned her head and glared at Sun Mei, signaling her to stop interjecting.
If this matter were that simple, Su Changfeng wouldn’t be as on edge as he is now.
"Changfeng, if there’s any other trouble, remember to tell me, and we’ll solve it together," Tang Qiulu said.
Su Changfeng nodded and said, "Don’t worry, I can handle it myself."
After leaving the farmhouse, Gu Qingwen immediately returned to the Gu Family Villa District.
Gu Changsheng and Liu Chen were still playing chess. Seeing Gu Qingwen return, Gu Changsheng looked puzzled.
"Why are you back home already? You should at least give the Chen Family some face, at least stay for lunch," Gu Changsheng said.
Despite everything that happened over there, the Chen Family is still a cooperative partner of the Gu Family, and if Chen Zhenhai isn’t a fool, he would have already apologized to Su Changfeng.
Gu Qingwen glanced at Liu Chen, and with a solemn expression, said to Gu Changsheng, "Dad, I have something to tell you, let’s talk in your room."
Gu Changsheng frowned, seeing the situation, something seems to have happened.
"Qing’er, come play chess with Grandpa Liu," Gu Changsheng said to Gu Qing’er.
Gu Qing’er initially intended to join their conversation, but when she saw Gu Qingwen glaring at her, she immediately dismissed the thought.
While she could be playful and willful in front of Gu Changsheng, she genuinely feared her unusually strict father, Gu Qingwen.
Once the two were in the room, with the door closed, Gu Changsheng anxiously asked, "Did something happen? Did Su Changfeng not forgive the Chen Family?"
If Su Changfeng had any objections to the Chen Family and intended to destroy them, Gu Changsheng would comply with Su Changfeng’s wishes, even if it brought significant losses to the Gu Family.
Now, Su Changfeng’s position within the Gu Family, especially in Gu Changsheng’s heart, is extremely important. As long as he could satisfy Su Changfeng’s demands, Gu Changsheng would do anything to achieve it.
"Dad, do you know someone named Ye Qingcheng?" Gu Qingwen asked.
"Ye Qingcheng? I don’t know her," Gu Changsheng said, frowning.
"There really are only two boys in the Su Family, no girls?" Gu Qingwen continued to ask.
"Yes." Gu Changsheng affirmed: "When those twin brothers arrived, it caused a sensation in the whole of Beijing, and the number of people who visited them in the hospital was countless. Everyone knew about it."
Gu Qingwen couldn’t figure it out. Since there were no daughters in the Su Family, where did Ye Qingcheng come from?
Gu Qingwen recounted everything that happened to Gu Changsheng word for word, and Gu Changsheng thought this was very peculiar after hearing it.
"This Ye Qingcheng, if she isn’t a descendant of the Su Family, how could she be so arrogant?" Gu Changsheng was flooded with doubt about Ye Qingcheng’s identity.
"I can tell Su Changfeng is afraid of her," Gu Qingwen said.
Gu Changsheng rubbed his temples and thought for a long time, recalling all the information he knew about the Beijing Su Family, but there were only the twin brothers, and no mention of Ye Qingcheng.
"Could she be an illegitimate daughter?" Gu Changsheng hesitated but then dismissed the thought himself: "It shouldn’t be. If she were just an illegitimate daughter of the Su Family, she wouldn’t have the right to look down on Su Changfeng, nor would she have the authority to call Su Changfeng useless. Even if Su Changfeng was expelled from the Su Family, she’s still just a girl. With Ye Weijun’s imprisonment, she wouldn’t have the right to challenge Su Changfeng for the Su Family."
"Dad, who she is doesn’t have much to do with our Gu Family. What matters most is how we decide now," Gu Qingwen said, explaining the urgency of his return.
It doesn’t matter who Ye Qingcheng is to the Gu Family right now; the crucial thing is that Ye Qingcheng is very unusual. The conflict between her and Su Changfeng isn’t at a disadvantage, so the Gu Family is now facing a life-and-death decision.
They need to side with Su Changfeng, or quickly extricate themselves from this matter to avoid being implicated.
Gu Changsheng clearly understood Gu Qingwen’s concerns, but without knowing Ye Qingcheng’s true background, he couldn’t make a decision lightly either.
"Dad, to put it harshly, even though Ye Qingcheng is a woman, I feel that her aura and confidence surpass Su Changfeng," Gu Qingwen reminded.
"I understand what you mean, but based on what I know about Su Changfeng, he would do anything for Tang Qiulu. If he falls, then so would Tang Qiulu. Would Su Changfeng allow such a thing to happen?" Gu Changsheng stated.
He understood Gu Qingwen’s point, as Gu Qingwen didn’t want the Gu Family to face too much danger. The best course of action given the current situation was to safeguard their interests.
However, whether they could completely extricate themselves was unpredictable, but one thing was certain: if the Gu Family retreated, their previous good relations with Su Changfeng would also come to an end.
"Do you still want to trust Su Changfeng?" Gu Qingwen asked.
Gu Changsheng did not decisively nod but looked extremely solemn and cautious. The decision to be made now would affect the Gu Family’s future, determining life or death, with everything hanging on his next decision.
