Chapter 25 -25: Wealth and Arrogance
Long Chen’s words suddenly startled Gu Changming.
“Long Chen, could it be that my illness has not fully healed? But I clearly feel completely fine.”
Gu Changming asked cautiously.
“It is fine but you can’t practice that kind of Inner Qi martial arts anymore, otherwise your tendons and veins will have problems again,” Long Chen said.
“This, if I stop practicing, will my current power regress?” Gu Changming asked.
“It will definitely regress,” Long Chen said without hesitation.
“So what should I do?”
Gu Changming was filled with worry.
The reason the Gu Family could become a top family in Seven Star City was inseparable from his extraordinary strength. If his own strength were to regress, it would lead to the gradual decline of the Gu Family.
“Divine Doctor, is there any way that I can preserve my strength without any negative effects?”
Gu Changming asked nervously.
“There is, but as of now, I can’t do it. However, if Mr. Gu is willing to wait, give me about ten days and I will surely resolve it for you.”
Long Chen said with a smile.
Looking at Long Chen’s confident smile, Gu Changming heaved a sigh of relief and excitedly said, “Divine Doctor, don’t mention ten days, even if it’s a hundred days, I will wait for you. If you need anything, just tell me. I would climb a mountain of swords or descend into a sea of flames for you.”
“That won’t be necessary, but actually, I do need Mr. Gu’s help with something right now,” Long Chen said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changming was overjoyed. He wasn’t afraid Long Chen wouldn’t need help; he was afraid Long Chen didn’t need it.
“Divine Doctor, whatever you need, just say it.”
“Mr. Gu, don’t call me Divine Doctor, just call me Long Chen. As for my request, I would like to ask Mr. Gu to lend me thirty million.”
After saying this, Long Chen himself felt a bit nervous.
Thirty million was not a small amount, and if Gu Changming refused, it would inevitably be somewhat awkward.
But before Gu Changming could speak, Xiao Xingtian immediately said, “Young master, if you need money, just tell me. Don’t mention thirty million; even three billion, I would give it to you right away.”
“This…”
Long Chen was stunned. Was Xiao Xingtian so generous?
Hearing this, Gu Changming immediately glared at Xiao Xingtian and said seriously, “You old coot, Long Chen is talking to me. Don’t interrupt. Don’t make it seem like I can’t produce three billion. Long Chen, if thirty million is not enough, we can add more.”
“That’s enough, Mr. Gu. I will definitely repay you in the future,” Long Chen said with a smile.
“Long Chen, if you mention repaying, then I really can’t give it to you. This money doesn’t need to be repaid. If you mention repayment, then you are looking down on me.”
Gu Changming said very sternly.
“If you don’t let me repay, then I won’t dare to take the money.”
“I said no means no.”
“Absolutely must.”
Long Chen also became serious.
“Grandfather, if he wants to repay, then let him, it’s not a big deal, no need to argue,” Gu Xiao couldn’t help but say from the side.
“Shut your mouth, go play.”
Gu Changming glared at Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao immediately lowered her head in frustration, the grandfather had never been so harsh with her before.
“Long Chen, the young girl doesn’t know any better, don’t take it personally.”
Gu Changming said.
“Of course not,” Long Chen said. “She’s right, it should be repaid.”
“Young master, what do you need this money for?”
Xiao Xingtian asked.
“The Li Family has run into some trouble and needs this money,” Long Chen said.
“I see. I heard from the old man before that you are now a son-in-law to the Li Family. Young master, I don’t understand why you willingly belittle yourself by going to the Li Family. If you are unhappy there, you can leave at any time. If the Li Family dares say half a word, I’ll bring people to wipe out the Li Family,”
Xiao Xingtian said sternly.
“Don’t.” Long Chen hurriedly said, “I really like the feeling of being in the Li Family, it’s very relaxed and happy. Moreover, I haven’t yet acknowledged that I am your young master, so don’t wrongly use that title.”
“Young master is young master, whether you acknowledge it or not,”
Xiao Xingtian’s attitude was very firm.
“Enough already, Old Xiao, let’s not talk about this now, let me finish what I need to do first.”
Gu Changming quickly found a check and filled it out for fifty million, handing it over to Long Chen.
“That much? Mr. Gu, I only need three…”
“Long Chen, fifty million is not too much at all. I, this old guy, may lack everything but not money. To me, money is just a number. Use this first, and if it’s not enough, let me know.”
Gu Changming said.
“Well, thank you, Mr. Gu.”
Long Chen was not pretentious and accepted the check.
After taking the check, Long Chen proposed to leave.
“Gu Xiao, why don’t you see Long Chen out?”
Gu Changming directed.
“Alright then.”
Gu Xiao seemed reluctant but didn’t dare to disobey.
She escorted Long Chen to the front door, flagged down a taxi, and said impatiently, “Hurry up and go, I have to go back and put on a face mask.”
“You don’t seem very friendly. What if I go back and tell your grandfather about this?”
“Don’t, please, I was wrong, Lord Long, after you.”
Gu Xiao immediately forced a smile and personally opened the car door for Long Chen.
“That’s more like it.”
Long Chen got into the taxi.
Bang.
Gu Xiao slammed the car door shut.
“Hm?”
Long Chen gave Gu Xiao a glance.
Gu Xiao hastily replied, “I ate too much this morning, got a bit too much strength, sorry.”
“Goodbye.”
Long Chen waved his hand.
Before long, Long Chen returned to the Li Family.
As soon as he entered, he heard the Li Family discussing how to raise money.
Seeing Long Chen return, Li Shiqi immediately stood up and asked, “How did it go? Did you go to the Wang Family?”
“I didn’t.”
“You useless fool, didn’t I tell you to go borrow money from the Wang Family? I warn you, if you can’t borrow this money, you and Yuechan will have to get a divorce. The Li Family doesn’t support the useless.”
Li Shiqi said with a stern face.
“Dad, don’t say that about him. The project needs funds, it’s not his responsibility alone, we all need to figure it out together.” Li Yuechan quickly spoke up for Long Chen.
“Shut up,” Li Shiqi angrily said. “If he can’t handle even this little thing, how is he worthy of you? Just divorce him and find anyone else, they’d be a hundred times better than him.”
“Yuechan, your dad has a point there.”
Han Min said blandly.
Long Chen, with a calm gaze, glanced at Li Shiqi and his wife. If it wasn’t for Yuechan, he wouldn’t put up with this degradation.
At this moment, Long Chen, who initially wanted to pull out the check, hesitated.
“As for the money, figure it out yourselves, I’m a bit tired, going to rest now.”
Long Chen headed upstairs.
“Stop.”
Li Shiqi caught up to Long Chen. “That’s how you speak to me?”

“What kind of attitude should I have? Should I kneel and worship when I see you?” Long Chen retorted coldly.
“I see your wings have really stiffened, thinking I wouldn’t dare lay a hand on you?”
Li Shiqi promptly grabbed a stool.
“Dad, his attitude isn’t great, I’ll talk to him, don’t be impulsive, Long Chen, come with me.”
Li Yuechan anxiously pulled Long Chen toward the second floor.
