Chapter 37 -37: In a Perilous Situation
No need to change locations, I have something else to attend to later. Mr. Gu, if it’s convenient, we can talk here; if not, we can reschedule for another day,” Long Chen said with a smile.
“We can talk here,” Gu Changming paced his words, “This lad isn’t my biological grandson but the descendant of a deceased dear friend. His family fell into ruin, leaving him alone, and I took him in.
Since he is the grandson of an old friend, I have perhaps indulged him a bit too much. Master Long, if he has caused any offense, I offer my apologies on his behalf.”
As Gu Changming spoke, he was about to bow.
Long Chen quickly stopped him, laughing, “It’s not such a big deal, Mr. Gu. No need for that. However, I hope that Gu Tai can keep a lower profile from now on to avoid harming himself.”
Master Long’s words are very true,” Gu Changming clenched his fists in acknowledgment.
Then, turning his head and staring at Gu Tai, Gu Changming said sternly, “Aren’t you going to apologize immediately?”
“Grandpa, I don’t think I did anything wrong. It was just a scuffle over a cell phone, and it’s ridiculous that he even brought you into it…”
Smack.
Before Gu Tai could finish his words, Gu Changming slapped him across the face.
“You beast, to be so disrespectful to my lifesaver. Do you believe I would expel you from the family?” Gu Changming’s face darkened with towering rage.
Gu Tai had truly failed to read the room. With Gu Changming showing such low posture to Long Chen, he dared to act so insolently.
Gu Tai, his face stinging from the slap and his eyes red with anger, turned and ran out of the cell phone store.
Seeing this, Gu Changming immediately asked Gu Xiao to chase after Gu Tai, but Long Chen stopped him.
“Mr. Gu, let it go. It’s not a major issue. I hope he can come to understand on his own, but if he doesn’t, you can speak to him after you go back,” said Long Chen.
“Thank you, Master Long, for your great magnanimity.”
Gu Changming bowed in respect.
Towards Long Chen, Gu Changming felt genuine reverence.
Firstly, because Long Chen had saved his life.
Secondly, because he knew Long Chen’s family was an astonishingly powerful entity—not just the Gu Family, but even a hundred Gu Families combined wouldn’t suffice.
“Chen, Gu Tai is naive. Don’t stoop to his level. Tell you what—I’ll take you out to eat as an apology. Is that fine?” Gu Xiao looked at Long Chen, her eyes twinkling.
“Alright then, you’ll treat me to a meal another day,” Long Chen smiled.
“Yeah, alright, come to our place tomorrow noon,” Gu Xiao said.
“No problem,” Long Chen nodded in agreement, thus fully smoothing over the somewhat awkward situation.
“Master Long, we’ll leave you be for now, take care,” Gu Changming said.
“Mr. Gu, take care,” Long Chen bowed in gesture.
Gu Changming and Gu Xiao left the cell phone store and got into the car. Inside, Gu Changming’s anger was boiling, “This Gu Tai, if he continues his reckless behavior, will sooner or later drag the Gu Family down into disaster. Thank goodness Long Chen wasn’t angered this time. Should he truly become angry, the consequences would be unthinkable.”
“Grandpa, what do you plan to do with him?” Gu Xiao asked softly.
“Call him and have him return home. Given his character, he won’t just let this go; we can’t allow him to make an even bigger mistake,” Gu Changming said gravely.
“Alright,” Gu Xiao immediately made the call.
But, after several attempts, she only got notifications that the phone was switched off.
“No answer,” Gu Xiao said with a wry smile.
“He went to buy a cell phone; it must be because his was broken. Have someone go find him,” Gu Changming said.
“Alright.”
…
Back in the cell phone store, Long Chen paid and left with Li Yueyue.
Li Yueyue clung to Long Chen’s arm, looking at him with eyes full of admiration.
“Brother-in-law, I didn’t realize you were so formidable. Even someone as important as Mr. Gu treated you with such respect. Could you be from one of those ancient, supreme families, like in the novels?” Li Yueyue asked Long Chen, her curiosity peaked.
Long Chen shook his head and laughed, “Don’t misunderstand; it’s merely because I happened to save Mr. Gu once, so he is polite to me. When you go back, don’t mention this to avoid deepening any misunderstandings and making things more difficult for me with your sister and the others.”
“I won’t mention it if you insist, but you have to go shopping with me for an hour. How about that?”
“No problem,” Long Chen quickly agreed to Li Yueyue’s request.
“Brother-in-law is really great.”
Li Yueyue tiptoed and quickly pecked Long Chen’s cheek.
Long Chen suddenly froze on the spot, staring at Li Yueyue, at a loss for words.
Li Yueyue’s cheeks also flushed with a hint of red, and she whispered softly, “You… don’t get the wrong idea. It’s just a reward for you, absolutely no messy thoughts.”
“Alright, thank you for the reward, but don’t do it again.”
Long Chen said seriously.
“Understood.”
Li Yueyue stuck out her little tongue, her heartbeat pounding faster.
“Let’s go shopping.”
Long Chen patted Li Yueyue’s forehead and then walked ahead.
After dragging Li Yueyue around the mall for over two hours, Long Chen could no longer bear it and pulled her out of the shopping center.
Li Yueyue obviously hadn’t had enough fun yet and pouted, “Brother-in-law, you’re pulling me away after just a little while, hmph, not nice at all.”
“I only agreed to accompany you for one hour, and now it’s almost been three. Isn’t that nice enough? As for all these bags, carry them yourself.”
Long Chen made a motion as if to drop the shopping bags on the ground. Li Yueyue quickly stopped him, smiling sweetly, “Brother-in-law, I was just joking, actually I…”
“Eh? Yueyue, you’re here too? Is this your boyfriend?”
Suddenly, a light and pleasant voice unexpectedly sounded from the side.
Li Yueyue turned her head and was startled at first, then her face filled with disbelief, “Siyan, why are you here too?”
“I came to shop, Yueyue, you haven’t answered yet, is he your boyfriend?”
The girl named Siyan asked inquisitively, her voice barely above a whisper.
The girl was about 170 centimeters tall, with delicate features and dressed fashionably.
“Gao Siyan, don’t talk nonsense, he’s my brother-in-law, my cousin’s husband.”
Li Yueyue said.
“Oh, really… brother-in-law?”
Gao Siyan smiled slightly and said, “What if I told you that I captured the moment you kissed him on camera, would you believe me?”
“Stinky Siyan, do you believe I’ll kill you?”
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
Li Yueyue threatened cutely, raising her delicate hand.
But Li Yueyue didn’t seem worried at all because she thoroughly trusted Gao Siyan, her best girlfriend.
Gao Siyan covered her mouth and snickered, then said with a laugh, “Since he’s your brother-in-law, I won’t tease you anymore. Come on, accompany me for a bit more shopping.”
“No, I have to accompany my brother-in-law home first.”
Li Yueyue replied.
“This is the first time you’ve refused me.” Gao Siyan’s face soured, as she locked eyes with Li Yueyue.
“Don’t look at me like that. Wait a minute, I need to ask my brother-in-law if it’s okay.”
Li Yueyue turned to look at Long Chen, tentatively asking, “Brother-in-law, can you go home by yourself first?”
“Come back early.”
Long Chen picked up the bags and stepped away.
“Thank you, brother-in-law. I’ll treat you to dinner later.”
Li Yueyue shouted, but Long Chen didn’t look back as he walked away.
Seeing Long Chen leaving, Gao Siyan turned to Li Yueyue with a complex look in her eyes, her mouth opening several times without saying anything, as if she was hiding some unspeakable secret.
“Are you holding in a pee? Let’s go, into the mall.”
Li Yueyue patted Gao Siyan on the shoulder.
Gao Siyan snapped out of it, clenched her teeth, and then said, “Yueyue, I suddenly don’t feel like shopping anymore, let’s go have a meal instead.”
“Huh? We’re at the entrance and you don’t want to go shopping? Are you crazy?”
“Come on, let’s eat, there are handsome guys, you know.” Gao Siyan winked.
“No way, no way, they are not as handsome as my brother-in-law. If you’re not shopping, then I’m going home.” Li Yueyue immediately declined.
“Yueyue, Tuoba Liuli, that little vixen, is there too. If you don’t go, she will bully me really badly.” Gao Siyan looked at Li Yueyue with a pleading expression.
Li Yueyue hesitated for a long time before responding, “It seems like you had planned this from the start. Fine, I’ll accompany you for a meal. But let’s get one thing straight, I’m not drinking.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Gao Siyan linked arms with Li Yueyue and they left.
Li Yueyue didn’t notice that when she wasn’t paying attention, Gao Siyan quickly sent a WeChat message to a friend nicknamed ‘Young Master Gu Doesn’t Like Cats’: “The preliminaries are all set. I’m bringing her to you; the rest is up to you.”
Ding.
‘Young Master Gu Doesn’t Like Cats’ replied promptly, “Good job, I’ll transfer 80,000 yuan to you right away. I’d really like to know if this girlfriend of yours is even more sly than you.”
Seeing the message, Gao Siyan clenched her teeth and deleted the record in a hurry.
Li Yueyue had no idea that she was already in a dangerous situation, still happily chatting away with Gao Siyan about all the wonderful things about her brother-in-law, Long Chen.
