CHAPTER 535: CHAPTER 524: HONEST MAN DIGGING UP YOUR ANCESTRAL GRAVE!

"In one month, the eldest son of the Nan Family, Nan Rui, is going to marry the young daughter of the Qin Family of Dragon Gate. Are you aware of this?"

"This matter has been causing quite a stir in the Capital City, so of course I’ve heard about it."

"Dad, to be frank, the Nan Family plans to eliminate Ye Huan after establishing this powerful alliance with the Qin Family."

A sinister smile appeared on Su Zhiqiang’s face.

Huang Shulang pondered for a moment and then nodded.

Indeed, the Nan Family currently lacks the resources to contend with the Ye and Li Families.

But aligning with the Qin Family changes everything completely.

By then, the Nan Family will become a top-tier family, perhaps even a super family.

Though they still wouldn’t be able to confront the Ye and Li Families head-on, at that time, the Ye and Li Families would not turn against the Nan and Qin Families just because a man their own granddaughter is fond of was killed—such a scenario is unrealistic.

After all, while the Nan Family might not matter much, the Qin Family represents Dragon Gate!

Who in Huaxia dares to challenge Dragon Gate? No one dares, and no one has the capability!

It’s just...

Alas!

The gap between people is just so vast!

The Nan Family is about to marry into the Qin Family and rise to prominence in one fell swoop!

And the Huang Family? Not only have they made no progress over the years, but today they also suffered a tremendous loss.

The Da Huang Gang has been wiped out.

The insider planted in Celestial Sea was removed, and it might even involve the Huang Family itself.

The eldest son is dead too.

Huang Shulang felt utterly unwilling, as if he aged ten years in a split second, sighing, "Is my Huang Family destined to decline..."

"Who says so!"

"Dad, as long as I’m here, the Huang Family will certainly prosper!"

Su Zhiqiang pounded his chest, speaking with a resounding voice.

"You?" Huang Shulang sneered, "When I let you marry Yan Yan, it was because you have a sister who is the secretary to the chair of the Li Corporation, yet neither you nor your sister has brought any benefits to the Huang Family. Besides, how can someone with no ability like a live-in son-in-law help the Huang Family prosper?"

Su Zhiqiang was embarrassed. When he first arrived in the Capital City and met Huang Yan, he pursued her passionately.

Unfortunately, he was a man of no status or position, so neither Huang Yan nor the Huang Family paid any attention to him.

But everything changed dramatically when Su Qingqing arrived in the Capital City and found him.

The Huang Family and Huang Yan greeted him with smiles and made him a live-in son-in-law of the Huang Family.

He also understood that the reason the Huang Family accepted him was to use him as a bridge, leveraging his sister Su Qingqing, the secretary to the chair of the Li Corporation, to bring some projects from the Li Corporation to the Huang Family.

After all, the Li Corporation was massive, with countless projects, and just granting a few ordinary projects could profit the Huang Family immensely.

But despite numerous subtle and explicit hints over the past few months for Su Qingqing to allocate some of the Li Corporation’s projects to the Huang Family, she had sternly refused each time, stating that the Huang Family lacked qualifications and she could not abuse her authority.

Failing to secure any projects from the Li Corporation, Su Zhiqiang’s status within the Huang Family plummeted dramatically, enduring disdain and eating only leftover scraps.

Su Zhiqiang harbored a constant simmering resentment.

Today, he intended to hold his head high!

In the future, he wanted to stand tall within the Huang Family!

Because he now possessed the leverage that would earn him respect from the Huang Family—the Nan Family!

"Dad, I know you disapprove of me."

"I understand my sister’s personality, and I truly couldn’t persuade her to give me projects."

"But..."

Su Zhiqiang cleared his throat and said solemnly, "I can get the Huang Family aboard the Nan Family’s fast track to success!"

Huang Shulang’s expression of displeasure instantly transformed into immense joy!

His voice trembled with excitement as he said, "Zhiqiang, my good son-in-law, what did you just say?"

"I said I could bring the Huang Family onto the Nan Family’s fast track to success!" Su Zhiqiang declared proudly, "You might not believe it, but Nan Zhen and I are already sworn brothers."

"What!?" Huang Shulang exclaimed with delight, "Are you serious?"

Su Zhiqiang nodded and said, "Dad, I have something to say, which you might not want to hear."

"Go ahead, I won’t be angry!" Huang Shulang said magnanimously.

"Alright."

"What I want to say is that my brother-in-law, Zhiwen, didn’t die in vain. He gave the Huang Family an opportunity to ascend to great heights alongside the Nan Family."

"Dad, let me put it this way, to get onto this fast track with the Nan Family, having the relationship between me and Brother Zhen is not enough."

"Our Huang Family also needs to do one thing, and that is to completely destroy Ye Huan, both openly and in secret! Zhiwen was killed by Ye Huan, so targeting Ye Huan is only natural and wouldn’t seem intentional."

"With Nan Zhen humiliated, the Nan Family, like us, utterly hates Ye Huan. By then, not only will they not see our actions against Ye Huan as trying to flatter them, but instead will have a ’misery loves company’ sentiment, thus closing the gap between our two families."

"Going forward, as long as we claim a larger part of the credit in avenging Ye Huan, the Huang Family will win the favor of the Nan Family; combining this with my brotherhood with Brother Zhen, the Huang Family will inevitably ride the momentum of the Nan-Qin marriage alliance to rise at once!"

"Becoming a first-rate family is not a problem!"

As Su Zhiqiang spoke further, the ambition in his words grew even more intense!

"Good!"

Huang Shulang jumped up excitedly, clapping his hands repeatedly.

The first-tier family, the Zhong Family, was destroyed by the Crown Prince, leaving a vacant position. He dreamed of the Huang Family becoming the new first-tier family!

Now there’s this hope, and he’s beyond excited. After clapping, he held Su Zhiqiang’s hand with a face full of "gratitude," and said, "Zhiqiang, I knew marrying Yan Yan to you was the right choice."

Su Zhiqiang felt a wave of disdain in his heart, but was very satisfied with Huang Shulang’s reaction. He loved seeing his prestigious father-in-law, Huang Shulang, go against his own beliefs and fawn over him.

After a while, he continued:

"Dad, to put it simply."

"The more ruthlessly we deal with Ye Huan, openly and secretly, the more benefits we gain."

"But until the very last day, which is the day of the Nan-Qin marriage alliance, we can’t be too ruthless, otherwise, it wouldn’t be good to provoke Ye Qiqing."

"Good!" Huang Shulang nodded solemnly and fiercely said, "Then let’s start off light. In a month, on the day of the Nan-Qin marriage alliance, that’s the day we finish him off, the day he dies. I’ll personally kill him to avenge Zhiwen!"

Su Zhiqiang was already mourning for Ye Huan in his heart.

Of all people to offend, he chose to offend the Nan Family and Su Zhiqiang himself.

He really was courting death.

Who is Nan Zhen? In a month, the Nan Family will ally with the Qin Family from Dragon Gate, and by then he will be the third young master of a top-tier, possibly even super-tier, family!

Who is Su Zhiqiang?

The Prince Consort of a newly first-tier family, the follower of a top-tier or even super-tier family’s third young master!

You couldn’t get more awesome!

The future looks bright!

Ye Huan? He’s just a kept man.

Now he’s just riding high on Ye Qiqing’s coattails.

In a month, he can be wiped out with a snap of the fingers.

In a month, on the wedding day of the Nan-Qin marriage alliance.

The Nan Family Mansion will be the place where Ye Huan meets his doom!

"Ring ring ring."

Su Zhiqiang was dreaming about the wonderful future when the phone’s ringtone interrupted him.

Originally very displeased, he took out his phone and upon seeing the caller, his face suddenly turned fawning.

He answered the call.

"Hello? Brother Zhen? You’re back in the Capital City?"

"Want me to take you out for a walk?"

"Oh good, I’ll be right over!"

Su Zhiqiang smiled fawningly and hung up the phone.

Next to him, Huang Shulang, with a sneaky look, tentatively asked, "Zhiqiang, was it Young Master Nan Zhen who called you?"

"Yes, Brother Zhen was crippled by Ye Huan, can’t walk, and wants me to take him out for a walk."

"Oh my, my good son-in-law, what are you waiting for, go quickly, don’t keep Young Master Nan Zhen waiting!"

"Alright, I’ll head over now."

Su Zhiqiang, with a beaming face, straightened his collar and left the Huang Family mansion.

Watching his departing figure, Huang Yan exclaimed, "Dad, Su Zhiqiang really is lucky, to be able to latch onto someone as powerful as Nan Zhen."

"Yes."

"But because of this, Yan Yan, you must be careful, concerning your matters...especially the child in your belly, it absolutely cannot be discovered by that fool Su Zhiqiang."

"Otherwise, our Huang Family might miss out on a great opportunity for development, and even offend Nan’s third young master’s brothers, leading to a disaster."

Huang Shulang warned.

"Don’t worry, Dad, after today, I’ll delete all the information of the men I’ve had dates with."

"As for the child in my belly..."

"An abortion is harmful, and there’s no need. Su Zhiqiang is an honest man, I’ll just get him so drunk he passes out tomorrow."

"When he wakes up the day after, I’ll just say I’m pregnant, he’ll surely be overjoyed."

Huang Yan, with a mischievous face, spoke these incredibly outrageous words.

Huang Shulang also broke out in a cold sweat; having such a daughter really was a sin.

But still.

An abortion not only harms the body but is also easily detected, after all, test reports and surgery records remain in the hospital.

Huang Yan’s strategy was actually quite good.

Su Zhiqiang is an honest person.

He won’t find out the child isn’t his.

If Su Zhiqiang knew his father-in-law and wife had such thoughts, he’d surely be so furious he’d drop dead on the spot.

Did an honest man offend your ancestors in a past life to be bullied like this!?
