Chapter 372: Chapter 373: I am your husband
“Yeah, the two of us can’t compare to Qiulu,” Lin Qingmeng said dejectedly.
Yue Qingshan smiled calmly and said, “It’s you who can’t compare, don’t include me.”
Lin Qingmeng looked surprised at Yue Qingshan’s departing figure, feeling a sense of unease.
Su Changfeng drove home at this moment, Tang Qiulu was still particularly shocked, as if Zhou Chaohai was still kneeling in front of her.
This feeling made Tang Qiulu feel like she was dreaming, she didn’t even have the courage to pinch her thigh, afraid she’d wake up from the dream.
“What’s wrong? What happened?” Seeing Tang Qiulu a bit dazed, Su Changfeng asked with a smile.
“Chang Feng, am I dreaming?” Tang Qiulu asked blankly.
Su Changfeng replied with a smile, “Definitely not, once we get home, we’ll book the tickets to Heaven Island and first do the wedding photoshoot.”
“But what about the corporation? Are we just not going to attend to it?” Tang Qiulu asked. Although the square’s issue was resolved, the Shen Family Group still faced significant crisis, and she wouldn’t feel at ease going to Heaven Island now.
“I’ve already contacted my friend, he’ll bring a team to Jiang City in a few days to take over the corporation’s affairs, his employees are all elite, don’t worry,” Su Changfeng said.
Upon hearing this, Tang Qiulu suddenly lowered her head gloomily.
“What’s wrong again?” Su Changfeng asked, puzzled.
“Chang Feng, am I completely useless? Everything has to be arranged by you, and I need your help. Without you, I can’t accomplish anything.” Tang Qiulu said.
Su Changfeng wasn’t sure how to comfort her; indeed, it was him behind the scenes arranging it, gradually helping Tang Qiulu rise from Weishui Real Estate collaboration to her current position. If she struggled alone, she couldn’t have achieved it.
“I’m your husband; isn’t this something I’m supposed to do?” Su Changfeng said.
Tang Qiulu blushed, secretly pinched Su Changfeng’s leg, saying, “But I also want to prove myself.”
“But this issue started because of me, so naturally I have to solve it,” Su Changfeng said.
With this explanation, Tang Qiulu understood and lifted her head saying, “Fine, once we get home, book the tickets. But when your friend arrives, I’ll ask Wang Xiaoxiao to greet them.”
“They will come once we leave,” Su Changfeng said; he didn’t want Tang Qiulu to be involved in this brutal business war.
Although Su Changfeng knew that overprotecting Tang Qiulu wasn’t good, he had to do it as her husband.
Arriving at Mountain Villa, Sun Mei knew about the Jiuwu Square incident and excitedly prepared wine at home waiting for Su Changfeng to come back.
Her friends all contacted her in a flattering tone, making Sun Mei feel particularly gratified, as she loved this feeling of self-importance.
“Changfeng and Qiulu, you’re finally back. If you were later, the wine’s taste would have been affected,” Sun Mei enthusiastically welcomed them.
Tang Qiulu looked helplessly at Su Changfeng; yesterday Sun Mei was very rude, but now she seemed like a different person. Sun Mei’s behavior could accurately be described with the word ‘opportunistic.’
“Mom, are you relieved now?” Tang Qiulu asked.
“Not worried at all, I never was. I knew Changfeng would handle it well,” Sun Mei said smiling.
Su Changfeng was impressed by how Sun Mei could lie without blushing, nearly confronting him yesterday but shamelessly claiming she was never worried.
“I won’t drink; I have to head out,” Su Changfeng said.
“Where are you going?” Tang Qiulu seemed worried about Su Changfeng.
“Nothing important. Hurry and book the tickets; we should leave by tomorrow,” Su Changfeng said.
After Su Changfeng left, Sun Mei couldn’t help asking Tang Qiulu, “Where are you two planning to go?”
“Changfeng and I decided to take wedding photos, so we’re planning to go to Heaven Island,” Tang Qiulu said, as she didn’t want such a beautiful memory to become a regret because she was unwilling during their previous photoshoot.
“That’s a great suggestion. Not to criticize you, you were reluctant during the last shoot and didn’t even smile,” Sun Mei complained to Tang Qiulu.
Faced with Sun Mei’s attitude, Tang Qiulu felt helpless. Initially, Sun Mei was the most against Su Changfeng marrying into the family, and if not for the Shen Family elder’s insistence, she wouldn’t have arranged the photoshoot. Now it became Tang Qiulu’s duty.
“Mom, you’re not forcing me to divorce Changfeng now?” Tang Qiulu said.
Sun Mei waved her hand continuously in displeasure, saying, “Why are you talking nonsense? Why would I want you to divorce now? Can’t you see how successful Su Changfeng is now? Even Zhou Chaohai had to kneel for him. Divorce? The Shen Family still relies on Su Changfeng.”
“What if Su Changfeng suddenly loses his wealth? Would you still think the same?” Tang Qiulu asked sincerely.
Sun Mei was stunned. Being very realistic, if Su Changfeng lost his wealth and capabilities, she would certainly belittle him just like before, no doubt.
“I refuse to answer hypothetical questions,” Sun Mei said.
Tang Qiulu sighed helplessly, realizing Sun Mei hadn’t acknowledged Su Changfeng’s identity yet; her change in attitude was due to his achievements today.
But she also understood that if one day Su Changfeng fell, Sun Mei would revert to her awful behavior towards him.
Liu Lili, the family’s nanny, had no power to intervene, but on noticing this change in Sun Mei, she too sighed.
Su Changfeng was a good man deserving respect regardless of his wealth and status, but such things never mattered to Sun Mei, only money did.
After leaving the villa, Su Changfeng drove to Weishui Real Estate, where Cheng Shi had been waiting for a while with a commanding middle-aged man beside him, Wu Feng!
Cheng Shi was very familiar with Wu Feng, having been friends for many years. However, he never imagined Wu Feng could reach his current position, backed by Su Changfeng.
In Beijing, Wu Feng was a renowned figure, but he was just a pawn in Changfeng’s scheme, which astonished Cheng Shi.
When Cheng Shi learned this, it took him a long time to recover from the shock.
