Chapter 22 -22 Gu Xiao
Long Chen’s words instantly provoked Li Shiqi into a rage.
“You wretched thing, what the hell are you saying? Is that what you call a threat? If you had no ability, how could you possibly be worthy of our family’s Yuechan?”
Li Shiqi clenched his fists as if he was ready to strike at any moment.
Long Chen simply smiled and, not bothering to pay any more attention to Li Shiqi, walked straight into the house.
“Yuechan, look at him, that attitude is simply… Does he think that just because he’s working on another project, he can do whatever he wants in this house? Remember to tell him that he’s nothing but a son-in-law who married into this family; he shouldn’t start thinking that he’s all that important,” Li Shiqi said sternly.
Hearing this, Li Yuechan didn’t reply but silently walked into the house.
Li Yuechan also had no words for her own parents.
She found Long Chen in the room and, worried that he might be upset, Li Yuechan started making small talk with him just for the sake of having a conversation.
The old Li Yuechan would have never done something like this.
“Yuechan, about the money, I’ll try to figure something out,” Long Chen said.
“You’re not really thinking of borrowing money from the Wang Family, are you? You can’t go there; it would make us look bad,” Li Yuechan said with a wry smile.
“I won’t go to the Wang Family,” Long Chen smiled, “don’t worry, I’ll think of other ways.”
“What other methods could there possibly be? You…”
Li Yuechan stopped mid-sentence as she suddenly remembered the elderly man who appeared at the hospital last time—Gu Changming.
Long Chen had said that he would visit Gu Changming the next day. Could it be that Long Chen was planning to borrow money from him?
With this thought, Li Yuechan became even more anxious.
“Long Chen, you can think of any method you like, but if you plan on borrowing from Mr. Gu, that’s absolutely not an option,” Li Yuechan said gravely.
“Why not?” Long Chen was puzzled.
“You don’t understand Mr. Gu’s past,” Li Yuechan said. “Mr. Gu has had an influential life in Seven Star City. If you borrow his money and can’t pay it back later, the consequences would be unimaginable; you could even lose your life.”
“I understand, don’t worry, I have my ways,” Long Chen reassured Li Yuechan.
“Okay, anyway, it doesn’t matter if we can’t borrow the money; we’ll think of other ways. As for mom and dad, I’ll talk to them for you, so don’t carry too much of a burden.”
Li Yuechan said softly.
“My wife, you wouldn’t have treated me like this in the past. I really like this feeling now.”
“If it weren’t for you, I’d be willing to put my life on the line, if I am not nicer to you, I’d never be able to find another man who would treat me as you do, even if I searched with a lantern,” Li Yuechan said with a gentle smile, looking delightful.
“You’re truly wonderful,” Long Chen said as he reached out and hugged Li Yuechan.
Li Yuechan did not resist but snuggled into Long Chen’s arms like an obedient cat, gently closing her eyes.
Long Chen, holding Li Yuechan, had no other thoughts.
For him, being able to hold her like this was already something he wouldn’t have dared to dream of before.
The next morning, after a night had passed, Long Chen was woken up early by Li Yuechan.
“Husband, someone’s looking for you.”
As soon as Long Chen opened his eyes, Li Yuechan immediately added,

“Who is it?”
Long Chen sat up, rubbing his eyes.
“It seems to be someone sent by Mr. Gu to pick you up. You better get up quickly; it’s not polite to keep them waiting,”
Li Yuechan pulled back the blanket.
However, because it was morning, Long Chen, a vigorous young man, was in quite a robust condition,
So Li Yuechan ended up seeing a scene that under normal circumstances would have been perfectly decent to witness.
“This…”
Li Yuechan’s face turned red as she quickly turned away and stammered, “You… you big rascal, hurry up and get out here.”
After saying that, Li Yuechan ran out of the room somewhat flustered.
Long Chen got ready and went to the living room, where he heard Han Min talking to a man in a suit.
“Sir, this Long Chen, although he is nominally our son-in-law, it is all just for show and not the real situation. So if Long Chen has offended Mr. Gu, please make sure to convey to Mr. Gu that it has nothing to do with our Li Family.”
Han Min spoke rapidly, rattling off a bunch of words.
The man in the suit frowned slightly but didn’t respond.
“Mom, what are you even talking about?”
Li Yuechan was utterly speechless.
“Don’t speak.”
Han Min gave Li Yuechan a scornful look.
Meanwhile, Long Chen stepped forward, looked at the man in the suit, and said indifferently, “Let’s go.”
Upon seeing Long Chen, the man in the suit quickly got up: “Mr. Long, please!”
“Mm.”
Long Chen nodded and headed outside.
The man in the suit followed behind Long Chen, looking very respectful.
Han Min and her husband were dumbfounded, not understanding the situation.
“What’s the meaning of this?”
Han Min glanced at Li Yuechan.
“I don’t know.”
Li Yuechan replied, annoyed.
“Yuechan, you can’t possibly not know, tell me—how has this guy Long Chen suddenly become involved with the Gu family?”
Li Shiqi couldn’t help asking.
Li Yuechan shook her head and said with a wry smile, “I really don’t know, I’ll ask in detail later. Ah, ever since Long Chen woke up from his coma, it’s as if he’s become a completely different person.”
“Hehe, did he open up his meridian passages? Did an Immortal guide him in a dream and give him a new brain?”
Li Yuexin said sarcastically.
“Yuexin, you’re my younger sister, and I have no intention of targeting you or competing with you for anything. I just hope that from now on, you’ll show some respect for your brother-in-law; otherwise, if you truly anger him someday and he takes action against you, I won’t be able to protect you,”
After finishing her words, Li Yuechan grabbed her bag and left for work.
…
On the other side, Long Chen boarded a black Mercedes.
After getting on, Long Chen noticed a beautiful woman wearing large sunglasses.
She had long hair draped over her shoulders and was wearing a black mini skirt and high heels, looking quite glamorous.
“Hello, I’m Gu Xiao.”
She extended her hand to Long Chen.
“The granddaughter of Old Gu?”
Long Chen shook her hand and asked with a smile.
“Yes.” Gu Xiao replied indifferently: “My grandfather sent me to fetch a Divine Doctor to treat his illness. I didn’t expect this Divine Doctor to be so young.”
“Do you not trust me, Miss Gu?”
“Not only do I not trust you, but I also suspect you’re a fraud.” Gu Xiao did not hide her thoughts.
Long Chen smiled and said, “Old Gu is a sage-like elder with great wisdom. If I were a fraud, he would have seen right through me, wouldn’t he? Why else would he send someone to pick me up?”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Gu Xiao said: “I don’t believe you can cure my grandfather unless you prove it to me; otherwise, I won’t take you to our house today.”
“Then I simply won’t go,”
Long Chen said.
“You can’t refuse to go now either; find a place, let’s have a bout. If you can beat me, then I’ll believe you,” said Gu Xiao with a sneer.
“No need to spar.” Long Chen stared at Gu Xiao and said with a faint smile: “You drank a lot of alcohol last night, right? Your stomach is uncomfortable today, isn’t it? You nearly had a gastric bleed, you know? Plus, you must have practiced the same Martial Arts as your grandfather, which is why your meridians are also damaged, but not seriously. You need to stop immediately, or you’ll end up like your grandfather.”
“Talk is cheap; the proof is in the contest,”
Gu Xiao insisted through gritted teeth.
Even though everything Long Chen said was correct, she felt that such information could be obtained elsewhere.
The driver, however, silently drove the car without saying a word.
Long Chen frowned slightly, finding Gu Xiao somewhat stubborn.
“A contest is fine, but if you lose, you’ll have to give up something in return. I don’t have time to waste on you,” said Long Chen.
“If you can beat me, you can do whatever you want,”
Gu Xiao said confidently.
