The City's Strongest Son-in-law-Chapter 980 - 979: Fiery and Spirited Gu Qing’er

"Father, our family also has hotels, and they’re doing quite well. Why not have someone try to get involved with the banquet?" Gu Qingwen asked, slightly puzzled.

"The current relationship between Gu Qing’er and Ye Changfeng doesn’t require any more effort from us. If our Gu Family were to get involved in this matter, it would seem a bit too opportunistic. Moreover, the risk is quite high, so it’s better not to do it," Gu Changsheng said calmly. The Gu Family prefers to take a steady approach, as simply currying favor won’t last long in the end.

Using Gu Qing’er to maintain the Gu Family’s relationship with Ye Changfeng is the best approach for now. As for other methods, they would be like gilding the lily, or even affect the relationship between the Gu Family and Ye Changfeng, so there’s no need to make unnecessary moves.

"Gu Qingwen, you must remember this: no matter what the situation is, don’t play any tricks in front of Ye Changfeng," Gu Changsheng reminded Gu Qingwen.

Standing by, Gu Qingwen nodded slightly, silently remembering this in his heart.

"Even if you try to play tricks in front of Ye Changfeng, you won’t be a match for him. Don’t underestimate Ye Changfeng just because he seems like a young man; his experience is incredibly rich. This means he has faced many situations to be tempered into who he is today. To be honest, reaching the current status without relying on the Ye Family from Beijing’s connections is no small feat. Even you might find it difficult to achieve," Gu Changsheng continued.

Gu Qingwen still didn’t reply, simply listening quietly, though feeling upset inside. But this is reality, and his father is not wrong. Without the strong background of the Gu Family and his father’s guidance, Gu Changsheng would find it really difficult to reach where he is today.

Outside Ye Changfeng’s villa, Gu Qing’er became just another face in the crowd.

"Please make way, give me some space."

"Let me through, please."

Gu Qing’er shouted along the way, finally squeezing out of the crowd. However, dressed beautifully for the occasion, she looked particularly disheveled after emerging from the throng.

Of course, many people were reluctant and grumbled a bit as she fought her way through, but only a few mumbled under their breath, with no one daring to speak out openly.

"Miss Lu, you really shouldn’t come today." As soon as the security guards saw Gu Qing’er, they rushed to greet her; she’s their boss, after all!

Seeing the security guards protecting Gu Qing’er, the discontent quickly subsided among the crowd.

"Who were those hooligans just now that dared to curse at me?" Gu Qing’er asked with her hands on her hips, scanning the area viciously.

The large crowd of over a hundred people suddenly fell silent. You could even hear a pin drop. At a time like this, with so many people around, who would step forward to admit they cursed at her? No one wants to court trouble for themselves.

"They dare to curse at me but don’t dare to own up to it. What kind of men are they?" Gu Qing’er scolded.

No matter what Gu Qing’er said, no one stepped forward to admit it, so she turned to the security guards and instructed, "Make sure these people don’t make a ruckus and disturb my sister Sunian’s rest."

The security guards nodded heavily. Even though they were still some distance from Ye Changfeng’s front door, and it was unlikely any noise would disturb the villa, with their superior Gu Qing’er ordering them, they didn’t dare disagree.

Upon hearing Gu Qing’er’s instructions, those waiting outside also fell silent. After all, they feared that if they disturbed Sunian’s rest, they’d be held accountable, and they couldn’t afford that. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Gu Qing’er pressed the doorbell, and soon enough, someone came to open the door.

Gu Qing’er visited the villa frequently, often spending time with Shen Hanxue, talking about things only girls discuss. After Sunian was kidnapped, Gu Qing’er nearly lived in the villa, staying with Shen Hanxue day-in and day-out, worried Shen Hanxue might do something drastic alone and trying to talk her out of such thoughts.

"Sister Zhao, it’s you who’s opening the door. I haven’t seen you in a while. How have you been?" Gu Qing’er asked with a smile.

"Thank you, Miss Lu, for your concern. I’ve been doing just fine," Zhao Xiaona replied with a smile.

Gu Qing’er continued, "By the way, where’s my Brother Changfeng?"

Zhao Xiaona said, "Young Master Changfeng is in the bedroom now."

"With my Sister Shen Hanxue, both together," Gu Qing’er asked with a grin.

Zhao Xiaona nodded at Gu Qing’er with an equally amused expression.

"And look at the time, still in bed now. He must have kept my Sister Hanxue up late last night," Gu Qing’er stated confidently.

Zhao Xiaona chuckled secretly at Gu Qing’er’s words. This young girl dares to say what’s on her mind, so different from her own daughter, Chen Qingqing. Zhao Xiaona liked Gu Qing’er’s straightforwardness and hoped her daughter could be a bit more vivacious, making a better impression on others.

Gu Qing’er was always a spirited young girl, even behaving the same way at Ye Changfeng’s place. She went directly to the room, not bothering if she was disturbing them, and knocked boldly.

Ye Changfeng got up from the bed, opened the bedroom door, and upon seeing Gu Qing’er, said helplessly, "So early in the morning, and you’re already here?"

Gu Qing’er, unfazed, pushed the door open and went straight to Shen Hanxue, declaring, "I came over so early to protect my Sister Hanxue. Otherwise, you’d bully her."

Without waiting for Ye Changfeng’s response, Gu Qing’er turned to Shen Hanxue and asked directly, "Sister-in-law, did my brother bully you last night?"

Shen Hanxue blushed immediately, feeling embarrassed and lowering her head. Bullying was the least of it; last night, no matter how much she pleaded with Ye Changfeng, he wouldn’t let her go.

Standing at the door, Ye Changfeng saw Shen Hanxue’s awkwardness and didn’t know how to answer Gu Qing’er. He said to her, "You’re such a little girl! Asking about private matters—aren’t you ashamed?"

"Hmph, I’m no little girl anymore!" Gu Qing’er stood up straight and puffed out her chest, replying to Ye Changfeng.

Ye Changfeng, amused yet exasperated, quickly turned his gaze aside, saying, "A little girl is still a little girl. No matter how you prove it in front of me, you’re still a little girl."

Ye Changfeng’s words stirred Gu Qing’er, making her outraged. Sitting on the bed, Shen Hanxue watched the two and laughed quietly.
