章節 13: Chapter 13 Always Convenient
Behind them, Han Min's face turned iron blue with anger, "Who is he saying doesn't know how to be grateful? Oh, does he mean that he freeloaded at our house for over a year, did nothing, and we should still treat it as a huge favor?"
"We even gave him two thousand yuan a month as pocket money,"
Li Yuexin added softly.
"This guy, just because he closed one deal, he forgot his roots, his head's in the clouds. Such a person will never achieve greatness," Li Shiqi said with deep conviction.
"You two should hold back your words a bit," Li Yuechan's gaze shifted from Long Chen's retreating back and said seriously, "Dad, Mom, to be honest, none of us have ever really treated him as part of the family, so it's only normal that sometimes his words are antagonistic towards you.
Secondly, it's true that he hasn't done anything this past year and only had a couple thousand yuan a month in spending money, but the favor he did for us this time—if he had asked for payment, it would've been enough for his whole life."
"Li Yuechan, you couldn't possibly have fallen for that loser, right? Don't forget, he only closed the project because he coincidentally saved Wang Wanli, which doesn't mean he has any real strength,"
Han Min glared at Li Yuechan.
"Mom, if you didn't consider him a son-in-law, I think you ought to treat him with a bit more respect. You can only criticize him like that if you truly accept him as your son-in-law,"
Li Yuechan answered irrelevantly.
...
At that moment, outside, Long Chen turned and stared at Ning Haoran, who had walked out with him.
Ning Haoran took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and started puffing smoke in clouds.
He didn't offer one to Long Chen, and even blew smoke in Long Chen's face.
Long Chen glanced at Ning Haoran, who suddenly became nearly transparent in his eyes. Long Chen knew everything about his health, whether he had any illnesses or could potentially get any.
"It must be tough having prostatitis at such a young age, right?"
Long Chen said indifferently.
Ning Haoran froze mid-smoke.
This was his private matter, and he hadn't even told his family. How could Long Chen know?
"You've been investigating me?"
Ning Haoran's eyes turned frosty.
"Do you think someone like you is worth my time to investigate?"
Long Chen said with a disdainful smile.
"Long Chen, no matter where you learned that from, it's irrelevant. I'm here to tell you that Li Yuexin is my girlfriend, and if you dare to mess with her behind her back and you don't give me a proper explanation, you're going to have a hard time. If you know what's good for you, you'll kneel and apologize,"
Ning Haoran said coldly.
"Oh, and if I don't, just how hard will my time be?"
"For example, one should avoid walking alone at night. Gotta be careful, lest you vanish into thin air," Ning Haoran narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Do you know what I hate the most?"
Long Chen stared at Ning Haoran.
"You most hate being threatened? Kid, you've watched too many movies. That stuff doesn't work in real life," Ning Haoran said, his gaze playful.
"I think it works."
The moment Long Chen's words fell, his fist reached Ning Haoran's abdomen.
Thud.
Ning Haoran was hit so hard by the punch that he spat blood, staggered back several steps, and finally fell to the ground.
"You... you dare to hit me?"
Ning Haoran said in disbelief.
"I'd even dare to kill you. Believe it?"
Long Chen quickly advanced, grabbed Ning Haoran by the neck with one hand, and easily lifted him, a man over a hundred pounds, off the ground.
Ning Haoran struggled to breathe, clutching at Long Chen's hand, his eyes filled with horror.
He saw a murderous intent in Long Chen's eyes and felt a terrifying aura emanating from Long Chen, as if facing the Grim Reaper himself.
Especially those deep and icy eyes made Ning Haoran afraid to meet his gaze.
He'd only felt this sensation from an underground boss before.
"I... I realize my mistake,"
Ning Haoran hastily apologized.
"Do the right thing."
Long Chen nonchalantly threw Ning Haoran to the ground.
Ning Haoran coughed several times, nearly suffocating to death.
"Long Chen, you bastard, why are you still hitting people?"
Li Yuexin rushed out quickly and ran to Ning Haoran's side, supporting him.
Long Chen's expression remained calm, too lazy to pay attention to Li Yuexin.
"Long Chen, you're such a bastard."
Li Shiqi and his wife, along with Li Yuechan, all rushed out, their faces dramatically changing.
Li Shiqi cursed loudly, extending his hand to teach Long Chen a lesson.
"Dad, don't hit him."
Li Yuechan hurriedly intervened.
"Yuechan, he's becoming more and more lawless, daring to hit anyone. If we don't discipline him now, our Li Family will sooner or later be ruined by him,"
Li Shiqi exclaimed.
"Dad, you guys go check on Ning Haoran's injuries, I'll talk to Long Chen,"
Li Yuechan said gravely.
"You'd better settle things with him for good. Such a violent person must be divorced."
Li Shiqi spoke sternly.
"Mm."
Li Yuechan nodded.
Then, Li Yuechan walked up to Long Chen and said coldly, "At first, I had a somewhat good impression of you, but I never expected you to be such a violent person. Do you think fighting can solve all problems?"
"It was him who wanted me to kneel and insulted me; I just couldn't hold back and acted. Don't worry, wife, whatever happens, I…"
Long Chen said.
"Enough of that. You're so obstinate, always quick to brawl.
I hoped you wouldn't be a coward, but I didn't tell you to hit people. It was by sheer luck you avoided disaster after hitting Wang Dong, and yet just a day later, you're fighting again.
I really can't live with you anymore. Let's get a divorce tomorrow. Don't worry, you've been a great help to the Li family. I'll give you a sum of money as recompense, and then we'll be even,"
Li Yuechan said through gritted teeth.
For some reason, after saying that, Li Yuechan felt very uncomfortable, a heavy suffocation in her heart.
"Is a divorce absolutely necessary? Have you thought about it—if I dared to act, I must have the ability to solve problems?" Long Chen asked.
"What ability could you possibly have? I don't want to hear any more from you. This marriage must end."
Li Yuechan said firmly.
"Fine, I respect your decision."
Long Chen took a deep breath, his eyes reddening slightly.
He realized that he and Li Yuechan ultimately couldn't come together. With a mixture of dismay and reluctance, his voice grew hoarse: "The marriage certificate is with you. Just bring it tomorrow, and I'll meet you at the Civil Affairs Bureau."
After finishing his words, Long Chen turned and walked away.
"Where are you going?" Li Yuechan asked subconsciously.
"Since we're getting divorced, it seems my whereabouts shouldn't concern you,"
Long Chen clenched his fists.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuexin bit her lip tightly, feeling increasingly uncomfortable and a bit lost.
"Let him leave, daughter. You've finally made a wise decision,"
Han Min said excitedly.
"Good riddance to a divorce. Heh, a person like him will sooner or later end up on the streets without our family."
Li Yuexin said coldly.
Li Yuechan closed her eyes, feeling somewhat powerless: "Stop it, everyone. Actually, he wasn't so wrong to begin with; the mistake was resorting to violence. Since you all want him gone, then I'll just divorce him."
After finishing, Li Yuechan opened her eyes and walked outside.
"Yuechan, where are you going?"
Li Shiqi asked.
"I'm feeling a bit irritable; I'm going to see a friend,"
Li Yuechan was truly feeling quite stifled.
Meanwhile, Long Chen, having walked only a hundred or two hundred meters, unexpectedly ran into Zhao Churan.
Zhao Churan was in a white tracksuit, looking fit, with some fruit in her hand. Upon seeing Long Chen, Zhao Churan was also stunned, then a hint of joy crossed her face as she asked: "Are you here to see me? Why didn't you let me know in advance?"
"You've misunderstood; I actually live right here, just a few hundred meters from your place," Long Chen said.
"What a coincidence." Zhao Churan was quite surprised: "But you seem to be in a bad mood. Would you like to come over to my place, have a little drink, chat, and unwind?"
"Would that be okay?"
"For someone else, it definitely wouldn't be, but for you, it's convenient anytime," Zhao Churan said with a bright smile.
