The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 235 Conspiracy

After being slapped by Ye Chenfeng and leaving the military hospital in a huff, Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu, those two old men from the collateral branches of the Wus, had just stepped out of the hospital when they were invited by the Family Head of the Songs, Song Yigang. In Song Yigang’s eyes, Wu Anguo was as good as dead. Once Wu Anguo passed away, the Wus would almost certainly fall under the control of those originally from its collateral branches. At this point, the invitation from Song Yigang to these two old men was naturally self-explanatory.

In a private room of a top-tier restaurant in Capital City, Song Yigang, the elder of the Songs, his eldest son Song Gui, as well as Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu were present.

The cheeks of Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu were still swollen on one side. The anger from having been publicly slapped by Ye Chenfeng had not yet dissipated, and the two old men had not spoken a word, waiting for Song Yigang to speak first.

Song Yigang casually ordered some dishes and then said, "We all heard about Wu Anguo’s condition just now at the military hospital. My purpose for inviting you two is to ask if you are interested in taking control of the Wus? Our family can lend you a helping hand." freewёbnoνel-com

Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu were no fools, and they knew Song Yigang must have had ulterior motives in saying this. Wu Anfeng furrowed his brow and said, "If An Guo really encounters an unforeseen incident this time, I think with our abilities, taking control of the Wus shouldn’t be too difficult. We don’t need the Family Head of the Songs to worry about our family’s affairs."

Song Yigang, not at all displeased by Wu Anfeng’s refusal, instead patiently revealed a smile and said, "I know that both of you have been opposed to the marriage between Chenfeng and Wu Xiaofei. Do the two of you really think you can outmaneuver the current Ye family by yourselves? Once Chenfeng and Xiaofei are engaged, the Yes will be able to naturally intervene in the affairs of the Wus. I’m afraid that by then, it’ll be difficult for the two of you to take control, won’t it?"

Seeing Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu deep in thought, Song Yigang nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Therefore, cooperating with our family is the best course of action for you two. Once Wu Anguo is gone from this world, you two will become the elders of the Wus. Then, if you arrange for Wu Xiaofei to marry our Song Bin, our family will have a reason to get involved. By then, even if the Yes oppose, it will be of no consequence. With our family’s support, you two can easily take hold of everything in the Wus."

"Moreover, although the Ye family still appears to be a top-tier family in Capital City, their direct lineage is sparse, and there will be very few who can take up the mantle in the future. Once old man Ye kicks the bucket one day, the Ye family will inevitably fade from the ranks of Capital City’s great clans, while our Song direct lineage is much more prosperous than the Yes. So, you two should seriously consider my suggestion."

Since Song Yigang can’t uproot the Ye family for now, he first wants to teach them a lesson, unable to swallow the insult! His grandson Song Bin had been crippled, and this was the only way he could avenge his grandson for the time being. However, he also had another purpose! Once his grandson Song Bin got engaged to Wu Xiaofei, the Songs would have a reason to step into the Wu’s affairs. Then, if he could sideline Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu, wouldn’t the Wus practically become theirs?

Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu, of course, knew that everything Song Yigang said was true. However, they also knew that Song Yigang was definitely not a virtuous bird, and once Song Bin and Wu Xiaofei were engaged, the two of them could very well become Song Yigang’s puppets.

Nevertheless, aside from this option, Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu seemed to have no other choice. They were absolutely not going to agree to the engagement between Chenfeng and Xiaofei, and their cheeks were still burning painfully!

As the saying goes, one should never strike the face, but the hatred of being slapped by Ye Chenfeng today was something they were determined to avenge in the future. Thus, they had to agree to Song Yigang’s proposal for the time being. Otherwise, just the two of them really wouldn’t be able to contend with the current Ye family.

"Family Head Song, we can agree to the marriage between Xiaofei and Song Bin. However, we want to quickly take full control of the Wus. The members from the collateral branches of the Wus are easy to handle; the main problem lies with An Guo’s two sons, who are quite troublesome, and they certainly won’t agree to let Xiaofei become engaged to Song Bin," said Wu Anfeng, knowing full well that he had little status in the eyes of his nephews, Wu Zhifang and Wu Kunming, even Wu Jie, Wu Zhifang’s son, didn’t think much of him.

"Right, Family Head Song, Anfeng is correct. If you want Song Bin and Xiaofei to get engaged, your family should also show some sincerity, right?" Wu Anfu seconded immediately.

"Since you both are so eager to take control of the Wus, then let my son Song Gui accompany you to the hospital later. All you need to do is to declare in front of Wu Zhifang and the others that Wu Xiaofei will be betrothed to our Song Bin. As for whether Wu Zhifang and his group agree or not, you two needn’t care at all. So what if they disagree? Once Wu Anguo dies, you two will be the elders, and it’s only natural for the elders to decide on the marriages of the younger generation. If the Yes dare to say anything, our Song family surely won’t stand idle," Song Yigang assured them.

"Family Head Song, since you’ve put it that way, naturally, we won’t have any objections. Later, we’ll trouble your son, Song Gui, to accompany us to the military hospital. I can’t wait to teach Ye Chenfeng a lesson and make him scram away from Xiaofei," Wu Anfeng said with a sinister look in his eyes.

As soon as Ye Chenfeng was mentioned, the nearby Song Gui’s complexion turned extremely ugly. As of now, his son, Song Bin, could only lie in the hospital bed, with the chances of him ever being able to stand and walk again being slim to none. His hatred for Ye Chenfeng was to the point of gnashing his teeth in rage. If he knew that his younger son, Song Zhong, was also dealt with by Ye Chenfeng, who knows if he would’ve been so angry he’d spit up blood?

"Elders, rest assured, I reckon that little beast Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t dare to mess around. Although it seems his panic disorder has been cured, he’s just a youngster who knows how to resort to violence. If he dares to lay a hand on us later, I guarantee he won’t be able to walk away unscathed. As long as we are in the right, even the Yes won’t be able to protect that little beast," Song Gui said furiously.

Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu, the two elderly men, ate a few bites of their meal indifferently and were eager to have Song Gui accompany them to the military hospital.

...

In the special care ward of the military hospital.

The old Mr. Wu didn’t rush to be discharged, instead, he listened as his grandson, Wu Jie, recounted the actions of the two old men from the Wus’ collateral family. When he heard Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu declare that today’s engagement ceremony between Ye Chenfeng and Wu Xiaofei didn’t count and even flatly refused the marriage, his face turned red with anger. To lose such an excellent grandson-in-law like Ye Chenfeng would be to miss out on a rare opportunity; his prospects were boundless. Mr. Wu was so incensed he wanted to drive out all those short-sighted fools from the Wus just to vent his fury.

"Chenfeng, your marriage to Xiaofei was arranged by me and your grandfather. Aside from us, no one else has the authority to meddle in your marriage. I’ll deal with those people from the Wus’ collateral family properly and won’t let them make trouble anymore," Old Mr. Wu said, looking up at Ye Chenfeng, who was chatting with Wu Xiaofei in the ward.

"Grandpa Wu, I’ve already ’dealt’ with them for you. When they were yelling like rabid dogs just now, I slapped them each across the face," Ye Chenfeng said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Wu smiled broadly and boomed, "Chenfeng, well hit! Those two old men really needed a lesson; in fact, I’ve wanted to give them a piece of my mind for a while."

"An Guo, since you’re fine now, I’ll be taking my leave. Today should have been Chenfeng and Xiaofei’s engagement ceremony, but now everything’s a mess, and I need to sort it out," Ye Chen, addressing Wu Anguo, said.

"Zhenhong, go ahead without worry, they’ll keep me company here. If it weren’t for not wanting to arouse suspicion, who would enjoy staying in a hospital?" Old Mr. Wu waved his hand and spoke.

Before leaving, Ye Chen instructed Ye Chenfeng a few words and then hurried off. Now that Wu Anguo’s medical condition had completely recovered, it truly relieved Ye Chen. (To be continued.
