229: Chapter 229: Grandfather Isn’t Dead?

Hearing Ji Hong say this, Su Changfeng started to tremble, asking deeply, “What are you trying to say?”

When the news of Su Qingtian’s death reached the Su Family, Su Changfeng was just a child, crying his heart out.

But now Ji Hong told him, no one saw Su Qingtian’s body!

“I’m just guessing, but to find out the truth, you must investigate yourself.

Perhaps once you discover the identity of the Taoist from back then, everything will come to light.” After saying this, Ji Hong left without looking back.

Su Changfeng was now shaking violently, his breathing became much heavier.

Could his grandfather be somehow involved in this?

Maybe his grandfather is still alive, just taken away and locked up by someone?

If that’s the case, then he must get involved, he has to try, even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance.

Looking at the yellowing photo, Su Changfeng instinctively clenched his hand, his eyes filled with killing intent: “If my grandfather is alive, you better treat him well, or I’ll send you all to Hell!”

Lost in his anger, Su Changfeng didn’t notice someone approaching.

Tang Qiulu saw Su Changfeng looking grave and particularly angry, standing to the side, not daring to speak.

Tang Qiulu glanced at the photo and instinctively frowned, feeling like she had seen this person somewhere before.

After a long time, Su Changfeng slowly recovered, seeing Tang Qiulu standing beside him, he quickly put the photo away and said, “How are things now?

Did Tang Siwen surrender the betrothal gift?”

Tang Qiulu nodded and said, “She’s almost spent the money from the betrothal gift, but she’ll sell everything she bought, even the house she’s living in.

If it’s still not enough, she’ll have to use loans to cover it.”

“I guess this time Tang Siwen is pretty devastated.” Su Changfeng laughed.

“But…” Tang Qiulu looked like she wanted to say something.

Su Changfeng asked curiously, “But what?”

“Ji Hong gave me all her betrothal gifts.” Tang Qiulu said.

Su Changfeng was stunned.

He thought Ji Hong would take all the betrothal gifts for herself, unexpectedly she gave them to Tang Qiulu!

“What did she say?” Su Changfeng asked.

“She said that the Su Family wouldn’t bother to take back what they had given away, she found me pleasing, so she gave them all to me.” Tang Qiulu said.

Su Changfeng gave a wry smile.

Though Ji Hong’s words were somewhat far-fetched, those Tang Family members probably wouldn’t think much of it, as they couldn’t understand the actions of these wealthy people.

At this moment, Tang Siwen walked angrily over to Su Changfeng.

Her dream of marrying into a wealthy family was shattered, and she couldn’t blame anyone else, so she pinned the responsibility on Su Changfeng, since he was the only one who had cursed her before.

“Su Changfeng, you coward, if you hadn’t said those things earlier, things wouldn’t have turned out like this!” Tang Siwen stomped her foot in anger.

Su Changfeng, nonchalantly replied, “What does it have to do with me?

Even if I hadn’t said that back then, the betrothal gift wasn’t yours anyway.

It was just your wishful thinking, no one ever told you the betrothal gift was yours.”

Now Tang Siwen felt like she had swallowed a fly.

Indeed, from the start, no one said the betrothal gift was for her.

It was all her assumption, but even now, Tang Siwen was unwilling to accept reality.

“Su Changfeng, you just wait, you’ll regret this someday.

I, Tang Siwen, will definitely marry into a wealthy family.

As for Tang Qiulu, with a useless husband like you, she’ll never surpass me in this lifetime!” Tang Siwen said defiantly, even if the Su Family didn’t fancy her, there were still prominent families like the Chen Family or the Zhao Family.

She believed she would marry into a wealthy family.

Su Changfeng chuckled, Tang Siwen’s confidence came from her looks, but to those wealthy people, she meant nothing at all!

Although contemporary society doesn’t emphasize social status as much, in those truly affluent families, it’s still highly regarded, and with Tang Siwen’s current position, she has no qualification to enter those family circles.

Just after Ji Hong left the villa, Huo Tian appeared like a ghost.

“What you did not only gave Chang Feng a responsibility that doesn’t belong to him, but also a hope he couldn’t possibly have.” Huo Tian’s eyes were cold, despite his duty being just to protect the Su Family, without authority to interfere in the internal matters of the Su Family, he couldn’t turn a blind eye to Ji Hong’s actions.

That photo handed to Su Changfeng was essentially urging him to investigate the true identity of the Taoist, but this was especially dangerous for Su Changfeng.

Ji Hong dragged Su Qingtian into this to make it impossible for Su Changfeng to refuse, forcing him to act.

“In the entire Su Family, even I can’t let Su Changfeng harbor any feelings, only Su Qingtian is the most important person to Su Changfeng, and only by doing this can Su Changfeng exert his greatest effort to investigate this matter.” Ji Hong said expressionlessly.

“But you shouldn’t give him hope like this; Su Qingtian is a pain he can never escape from.

Don’t you know he has passed out from crying many times because of this?” Huo Tian gritted his teeth and said.

“How could I not know?

Su Changfeng’s feelings for Su Qingtian are unparalleled.

But you should also understand, only hope can continuously provide a person with motivation.” Ji Hong said.

“But Su Qingtian is already gone, can this be considered hope?” Huo Tian clenched his fist in anger.

“Gone?” Ji Hong smiled faintly, “Did you see Su Qingtian’s body?

No one has seen Su Qingtian’s body, who can be so sure he is gone?

Even if the chance is slim, Su Changfeng wouldn’t easily give up.”

Even Huo Tian felt a bit moved; it’s been so long without any news of Su Qingtian, it seems impossible that he is still alive.

Ji Hong was merely using this to get Su Changfeng to complete some tasks for her.

“Before he died, he asked me to guard the Su Family.

In that state, it’s impossible he’s still alive?” Huo Tian was trembling.

“Then according to this, the body of Su Qingtian just disappeared?

Does that seem possible to you?

Why would the enemies of the Su Family take Su Qingtian’s body?

There’s no point in doing so.” Ji Hong laughed.

Huo Tian realized that nothing he said would work now, and since she had already given Su Changfeng hope, Su Changfeng would definitely keep investigating, making whatever he said pointless.
