Chapter 69
It was a fine morning in Falling Leaves City.
Li Datou always rose early, as it was necessary in the restaurant trade to prepare the ingredients for the day ahead. As the proprietor of Four Seas Tower, he naturally had to lead by example.
Li Datou's beginnings had not been humble, but even having progressed from waiter to shopkeeper, he remained a figure whom few looked up to. He had even given his younger sister to Su Sihai as a concubine, a move which earned him nominal respect, but behind his back, the words were not so kind.
Only when Su Sihai's first wife died and his younger sister became the lady of house, did his own status start to rise.
Now, as Su Sihai's health declined day by day, if he could manage to banish Su Ying from Falling Leaves City, the substantial wealth of the Su family would soon bear the name 'Li.'
In future, he could become a wealthy man, mingling with the city elite, dining and drinking to his heart's content.
