xia ling looked at long chen's back as he left without any hesitation, and she felt extremely disappointed.
but at the same time, xia ling realized that her love for long chen had not diminished in the slightest.
on the contrary, it was more intense than ever.
"it's not that he doesn't have feelings for me. if he didn't, he wouldn't have acted like that just now.
but he didn't covet my body, which means he respects me and is really afraid of hurting me.
yes, that's definitely the case, but do you think i'll give up just because you did that?
have you ever thought that after meeting you, which man in this world can still move my heart?"
xia ling clenched her jade-like hands.
...
outside, long chen returned home and found that other than tang ying and jiang tong, who were refining pills in the basement, zhao churan and the others had not returned.
after changing his clothes, long chen was about to head to the basement when his phone rang. it was li yuechan.
"yuechan, you're still working?" long chen asked.
" long chen, i'm at qianzhou restaurant. come and save me. "
li yuechan lowered her voice and said hurriedly.
long chen's heart tightened,'what do you mean? what's going on?"
"hurry up and come ..."
du du du.
the call was abruptly cut off.
long chen was a little nervous.
but at the same time, long chen was very confused.
he had asked wushuang to protect li yuechan. with wushuang's strength, he should not be able to meet any opponents. what kind of danger would li yuechan encounter?
but no matter what, long chen had to go now that li yuechan was asking for help.
not long after, long chen arrived at qianzhou restaurant. at the entrance, he saw little wushuang.
little wushuang was squatting at the door, eating snow cakes. seeing long chen, little wushuang was surprised, " "brother chen, what are you doing here?"
"where's your sister yueshu?" long chen asked.
"she's eating with someone inside." little wushuang said.
"then what are you doing here?"
"sister yuechan's parents said that they were going to discuss something important and asked me to wait at the door." little wushuang said.
"you little fool, bring me in." long chen said.
"alright," he said.
little wushuang stood up and brought long chen into the restaurant.
a moment later, under wushuang's guidance, long chen stood in front of a private room.
the conversation in the private room caught long chen's attention.
"yue ying, drink another cup. you've only drunk seven cups and you can't take it anymore? that won't do. haha, let's have another cup."
it was a man's voice, and he was laughing unscrupulously.
"yuechan, just drink it. it's fine."
li shiqi's voice came.
" yuechan, you have to keep director chu company. he's our god of fortune. if it weren't for the fact that he sees you as young and beautiful, he wouldn't have agreed to work with us, " said han min.
"mom, i really can't drink anymore. i ... i feel like puking."
li yuechan tried her best to endure.
"since yuechan can't drink it, it's fine. how about this? i see that yuechan is tired. i'll take her to my car and let her have a good rest." director chu said.
" alright, alright. director chu, i'll have to trouble you to take care of yuechan. "
li shiqi immediately said.
" don't worry, i promise it'll be fine. oh right, let's sign the contract tomorrow morning. do you have any problems with it? "
director chu said.
"sure, sure, sure, no problem, director chu," li shiqi replied excitedly.
"okay, then i'll take yuechan away first."
director chu smiled.
"i'm not leaving." "mom, i don't want to go out," li yuechan panicked.
although li yuechan was drunk, she was still very clear-headed and clearly understood that she could not go out with this man.
"yuechan, don't mess around. director chu won't do anything to you. don't spoil his mood."
han min immediately said.
"that's right, yuechan, go."
li shiqi said hurriedly, as if he was afraid that director chu would be angry.
long chen's face turned livid when he heard the conversation.
bang!
long chen kicked the door open and walked into the room.
his sudden arrival gave them a fright.
then, li shiqi quickly stepped forward and whispered to long chen, " " long chen, i'm talking to director chu about a project worth a few hundred million. take it easy and don't mess things up. this is very important to the li family. "
"get lost," he said.
long chen sent li shiqi flying with a kick.
li shiqi spat out blood and almost lost his breath.
long chen was so angry that he even wanted to kill li shiqi.
"long chen, what are you doing?"
han min was shocked, angry, and afraid.
long chen ignored han min. he pushed director chu away and pulled li yuechan into his arms.
li yuechan cried when she saw long chen in her drunken state.
" don't be afraid. i'm here. no one can bully you. "
long chen said gently.
then, long chen looked at han min and said, " "you're willing to give your own daughter to an old man just for a little project. are you still human? do you have the right to be a mother?"
"you ... don't talk nonsense, don't think of everyone as dirty as you. director chu just wanted to chat with yuechan in the car, what's the big deal?"
han min said.
at the side, director chu's expression was ugly. he said sternly, " " it seems that the li family is not sincere enough. i won't sign the contract. there are many companies fighting to cooperate with me. "
"you, get as far away from me as you can."
long chen said coldly.
"young man, you'd better keep a good attitude."
director chu stared at long chen with a cold gaze.
"wushuang, slap his mouth."
long chen said directly.
"alright," he said.
wushuang raised her hand and gave director chu two tight slaps.
director chu was dizzy from the beating. his front teeth were knocked out, and he let out a shrill scream.
"brother chen, do you want to destroy him?"
wushuang picked up a stool and was filled with killing intent.
"no need," long chen waved his hand.
then, long chen stared at director chu and said sternly, " " don't think that you can act unscrupulously just because you have some power in your hands. i'll spare your life this time. behave yourself and get lost. "
"you ... just you wait, just you wait if you have the guts."
director chu stood up in a panic.
"alright, i'll wait for you for half an hour," long chen said with a frown.
director chu gritted his teeth and ran out of the private room in a sorry state.
seeing this, li shiqi felt a little desperate.
"long chen, what did the li family do to you? it wasn't easy for us to close a big project, but you came to mess things up. why?"
li shiqi clenched his fists, his face pale.
" i'll just ask you one thing. is li yuechan your biological daughter? "
long chen stared at li shiqi.
li shiqi was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak.
"what nonsense are you talking about? of course, he's yuechan's biological father," han min panicked and hurriedly said.
"since he's her biological father, why would he have the heart to treat his own daughter like this? even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs, but he and you, han min, have been trying to push yuechan into the fire pit time and time again. you want to rely on yuechan to get the benefits you want. how can you be so blinded by greed?"
long chen's voice trembled with anger.
" long chen, people have to experience something in life. whether you like it or not, i'm sure you can understand what i'm saying. "
han min said earnestly.
" don't give me that. i don't care about the others, but li yuechan is long chen's woman. from now on, anyone who dares to hurt her is going against me. i won't let anyone off, no matter who it is. you're on your own. "
long chen said solemnly.
after saying that, long chen picked up lee yuechan and said to wushuang as they walked out, " "little wushuang, you stay here and wait for that chu something to call people over. at that time, beat them all down, but don't take their lives."
"i know."
little wushuang was a little nervous.
seeing that long chen was about to leave, little wushuang couldn't help but say, " "brother chen, i'm sorry. i didn't protect sister yueshan well."
"it's not your fault. you're not allowed to do this next time. in the future, no matter who tries to stop you from following your sister yuechan, you can't easily believe them. wherever your sister yuechan goes, you have to follow her, understand?" long chen said softly.
"i know. i won't make such a mistake again."
"yes."
long chen nodded and left the restaurant with lee yuechan in his arms.
long chen waited until they were far away from the restaurant before he cast a secret technique to sober li yuechan up.
after li yuechan woke up and recalled what had happened in the restaurant, she couldn't help but cry in long chen's arms.
"why did they do that to me? i can't figure it out, i really can't understand it. if you didn't rush over tonight, i would've been dragged into the car by that director chu. the consequences would've been unimaginable."
li yuechan was in extreme pain.
"you, want to know the reason?"
long chen gritted his teeth.
at that moment, he wanted to tell li yuechan the truth.
"what ... what's the reason?"
li yuechan looked at long chen.
long chen looked at li yuechan and her sad eyes.
all of a sudden, long chen couldn't speak.
if he were to tell li yuechan the truth now, would li yuechan break down on the spot?
long chen felt that now was not the best time to tell li yuechan the truth.
he wanted li yuechan to have a process of acceptance.
" yuechan, i feel that your father really doesn't treat you well. with a father like this, you can actually try to reject some of his unreasonable requests. do you understand what i mean? "
long chen said earnestly.
" when he asked me to go to the restaurant, he only said that it was work. he didn't say who he was going to drink with, nor did he say that i was going to leave with that director chu. when i arrived at the scene, i felt that something was wrong, but i couldn't leave. if i had known in advance, i definitely wouldn't have gone. "
li yuechan said.
" i understand. next time, no matter where you go, bring wushuang along. wushuang is very powerful. she can protect you. " long chen said softly.
" yes, i'll listen to you. i just feel really bad. my parents don't care about my feelings at all. "
li yuechan's voice was a little hoarse.
" since they are like this, you can learn to be more ruthless. you should be filial to them, but you can't agree to something you shouldn't agree to even if the sky falls. you have to have your own will. "
long chen said solemnly.
long chen's words were a warning to li yuechan.
" hubby, i'm very confused right now. no matter what, they're my biological parents. what can i do to them? "
li yuechan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"then why don't you think about what would have happened if you weren't smart enough to call me over? have you thought about the consequences?"
long chen's expression was serious.
"then ... then teach me, what should i do?"
li yuechan's eyes shot open as she looked at long chen.
"you'll listen to whatever i say?" long chen asked.
