The City’s Strongest Son-in-law
Chapter 440 - 441: You Are the Turtle
CHAPTER 440: CHAPTER 441: YOU ARE THE TURTLE
Ever since they lost previously, Wang Fu has never let it go and has always held a grudge against Gu Changsheng.
The last time he hired an expert specifically aimed at causing trouble for Gu Changsheng, and to get a wife for Wang Changtian along the way. Who would’ve thought he would end up humiliated?
And since Wang Fu is someone who values face very much, he definitely couldn’t accept this result. So, after he returned, he’s been searching for an expert, planning to reclaim his honor.
After so long, Wang Fu finally found an expert whom he’s particularly satisfied with and didn’t waste a moment to cause trouble for Gu Changsheng.
As soon as Gu Changsheng saw Wang Fu, he knew trouble was coming. This was also something Gu Changsheng had guessed right from the start. He and Wang Fu have not just known each other for a day or two. He’s particularly clear about Wang Fu’s character and knows he wouldn’t let it go after losing face.
"Wang Fu, you came later than I expected." Gu Changsheng said.
"Ah, the company has indeed been quite busy lately, so I haven’t had time to come by. I had to push a lot of matters aside today to be here," Wang Fu said with a face full of sighs and laments.
In fact, Wang Fu was busy looking for an expert. If he wasn’t absolutely confident, he wouldn’t have come over; otherwise, he would be the one losing face again.
Gu Changsheng looked at the person behind Wang Fu, who gave him an unbearably gloomy feeling. Without speaking, the man was like a deep, dark pool that, despite no ripples, exuded a chilling aura.
"If time was really scarce, you didn’t need to come all this way," Gu Changsheng smiled.
Wang Fu shook his head continuously, saying, "That wouldn’t be right. We are both getting on in years, counting days on our fingers. Who knows if we’ll meet again the next time?"
Gu Changsheng was full of disdain inside. This old guy came to mess things up and yet had so much nonsense to say, even coming up with such a righteous excuse. Did he really think Gu Changsheng didn’t know what he was here for?
"You do place too much emphasis on winning and losing. We’ve been competing for many years, but you’ve never beaten me once. Haven’t you seen that clearly by now?" Gu Changsheng boasted.
Upon hearing this, Wang Fu’s expression turned sinister instantly. It was exactly because Gu Changsheng always won that he felt particularly upset. If he didn’t vent this frustration, he’d die with his eyes wide open.
Furthermore, Wang Fu has to think about Wang Changtian’s future. If the Gu Family and Wang Family could form an alliance through marriage, it would surely benefit Wang Changtian greatly.
Of course, Wang Fu’s ambitions don’t stop there. He knows Gu Changsheng particularly dotes on Gu Qing’er, and in the future, Gu Qing’er will definitely inherit a lot of the Gu Family’s assets.
If Gu Qing’er marries Wang Changtian, those assets will practically belong to the Gu Family. This two-birds-one-stone plan has been on Wang Fu’s mind for a long time.
"Don’t be so arrogant. This time, I will definitely win. Quickly get that lad out here. I will show what a real expert looks like!" Wang Fu said, now particularly eager to see Su Changfeng get defeated.
If it weren’t for Su Changfeng stepping in last time, Gu Qing’er would already be his granddaughter-in-law, and he wouldn’t have been so humiliated, so Wang Fu detests not just Gu Changsheng, but also Su Changfeng; he wishes he could just kill Su Changfeng.
"Su Changfeng is my friend, not someone from my martial arts hall. How could I just give him orders at will?" Gu Changsheng said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Fu laughed scornfully, saying, "Old Gu, you’re joking with me, right? In Jiang City, is there someone you, Gu Changsheng, can’t order around? Or are you scared?"
Jiang City isn’t completely controlled by the Gu Family. Such words wouldn’t be said lightly. However, with the energy the Gu Family has in Jiang City, if there were someone Gu Changsheng couldn’t order, no one would believe it.
No one in Jiang City would dare to go against the Gu Family.
Even though Zhou Chaohai gathered a bunch of business insiders intending to strike against the Gu Family, and though they’ve discussed it for years, Zhou Chaohai hasn’t made a move against the Gu Family. From this, it’s clear the Gu Family holds significant sway in Jiang City.
In the past, Gu Changsheng himself believed there was no one in Jiang City he couldn’t command. But since Su Changfeng came, his thoughts have changed completely.
The Gu Family only has some influence in Jiang City, but the Su Family is a giant even in Beijing; the Gu Family doesn’t even have the qualifications to compare.
"I’m not joking. The Gu Family couldn’t cover the sky with one hand in Jiang City and can’t just order anyone as they please," Gu Changsheng said, regarding Su Changfeng’s identity, he hadn’t even told Gu Qing’er, and surely wouldn’t tell Wang Fu.
"Hmph, I understand you’re afraid this time and worried about losing face. Don’t worry, I will tell my expert to go easy on you, but you old fellows, really. What’s so embarrassing about losing once? The way you’re acting with your tail tucked looks worse than just losing," Wang Fu mocked.
Gu Changsheng chuckled lightly. He was already half-buried and was no rash youngster. He wouldn’t get angry because of Wang Fu’s words.
"Wang Fu, you should know that we’re both half in the grave already, not some fresh-out-of-school younglings. Your words don’t affect me," Gu Changsheng said.
Wang Fu gritted his back teeth. He spent a lot of money to hire an expert, planning to reclaim his face from last time, but he never expected Gu Changsheng to react like this!
"Is it that you’re afraid, or is it that young man who’s afraid?" Wang Fu said coldly.
"Grandpa Wang, how could Su Changfeng be afraid?" Gu Qing’er couldn’t help but stand up for Su Changfeng. Even though she knew there was no possibility between her and Su Changfeng, even as his sister, Gu Qing’er wouldn’t let anyone speak ill of Su Changfeng.
Seeing Gu Qing’er so agitated, Wang Fu’s brows furrowed. She stood up for that young man with a proud demeanor; could she possibly like him?
Wang Fu had already designated Gu Qing’er as his granddaughter-in-law, and he wouldn’t allow that young man to take her!
"Qing’er, if he’s not afraid, why wouldn’t he dare step out? Is that young man a coward?" Wang Fu mocked.
Gu Qing’er was quite unlike Gu Changsheng. Wang Fu couldn’t anger Gu Changsheng, but it was easy to provoke Gu Qing’er; his words ignited her right away.
"You’re the coward!" Gu Qing’er said angrily.
Gu Changsheng hastily called out, "Qing’er, don’t you know your manners? Apologize to Grandpa Wang right now,"
