"Sister, don't stop dad. Let him beat this good-for-nothing who's more trouble than he's worth to death."
On the sofa, a woman, who bore some resemblance to Li Yuechan, had a frosty expression on her face.
This was Li Yuexin, Li Yuechan's sister. From the day Long Chen had entered the Li Family, Li Yuexin had never looked at him favorably.
"If dad accidentally kills him, how will that be good?"
Li Yuechan said gravely.
"This trash has ruined a huge opportunity for us; killing him won't even be enough to vent my anger. Don't stop me."
Li Shiqi raised a chair, rage boiling over.
"If you actually kill me, then that big project you're talking about will never truly be yours.
On the other hand, if I stay alive, I'm confident I can secure that project for you."
Long Chen said firmly.
"Just with you? What do you know? Even setting that aside, after you've hit Wanxing's young master, Wanxing certainly won't give the Wanxing Mall project to our family."
"Not necessarily." Long Chen said, "There are other ways to solve the problem."
Upon hearing this, Li Shiqi's expression brightened instantaneously as if he'd thought of something, and he said joyfully:
"Could it be… you're planning to admit your mistakes proactively and personally tell Wang Dong you want to divorce Yuechan? If that's the case, then there really might be a big turnaround."
"Long Chen, impressive, if you actually do this, I'll reward you with one million. One million would be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life," Han Min quickly added, beaming.
"Long Chen, being with my sister has been a complete mistake from the start, it's not too late to realize it now." Li Yuexin also revealed a smile, rare for her.
The entire family eerily concluded that Long Chen must be intending to admit his mistakes to Wang Dong and tell him about the divorce with Li Yuechan.
Even Li Yuechan thought so at the moment, only she didn't look happy at all; her expression was very cold.
Long Chen furrowed his brows, then said sternly, "You've got it all wrong. I won't divorce Yuechan, nor will I apologize to that bastard Wang Dong. I'll secure the project through other means."
"Ridiculous." Li Shiqi's face changed instantly. "On what basis? You've been in the Li Family for over a year; do we not know what you are capable of?"
"Idiot."
Li Yuexin sneered.
"Say that again?"
Long Chen instantly glared at Li Yuexin, his gaze as sharp and fearsome as two terrifying demon swords, chilling to the bone.
Li Yuexin flinched, subconsciously shrinking her neck, and said timidly, "Keep… keep your voice down when you talk to me."
Beside them, Li Yuechan's eyes lit up slightly.
After Long Chen woke up from the coma, it seemed he had undergone some indescribable changes.
He seemed, more manly!
"Long Chen, if you can help the Li Family secure the Wanxing Mall project, I'm sure dad won't be angry with you anymore, but this won't be an easy task. Do you have an idea?"
Li Yuechan asked.
"I have some thoughts, they're just not fully developed yet. I need some time, but I assure you, the chances of success are high." Long Chen said.
Seeing Long Chen's confidence, Li Shiqi slowly put down the chair in his hands, thought for a moment, then said:
"Long Chen, no matter what method you use, if you can secure the project within ten days, I will not stand in the way of you and Yuechan anymore."
"Dad, I promise I will not let you down."
Long Chen exclaimed joyfully.
"Don't be too happy yet, this is the military order you're setting. If you don't secure the project by then, you will have to leave the Li Family forever."
Li Shiqi scoffed, picked up his mobile phone, and strode away.
"Long Chen, apologizing and telling Wang Dong that you will divorce Yuechan might be your only option. Think it over carefully and find me once you've decided. I'll transfer the money to you; I mean what I say."
Han Min also rose to leave.
Long Chen clenched his teeth, feeling extremely uncomfortable. His father-in-law and mother-in-law had never treated him as a son-in-law.
"Putting on airs, Long Chen, I think you should pack up and prepare to be kicked out."
Li Yuechan said coldly.
"Even you don't believe in me?"
"Should I believe you?"
"Yeah, you really shouldn't believe in me." Long Chen gave a self-mocking laugh, "Maybe it's better this way, we're not suited for each other anyway, forcing it makes no sense."
Hearing this, Li Yuechan's heart unknowingly tightened, "What do you mean? Are you really considering divorce?"
"That's not what I envision." Long Chen said, "I will keep my promise to help the Li Family secure that project.
Also, my sister told me you helped pay off hundreds of thousands of our debt. Once I've cleared that, if you still want to divorce me then, I'll let you go."
"Suit yourself."
Li Yuechan took a deep breath, grabbed her purse, and walked out.
"Are you going to work?" Long Chen hurriedly asked.
"No, I'm going to see Wang Dong."
Li Yuechan quickly left the house; she simply didn't believe Li Xiu could secure the Wanxing project. She wanted to do something herself, to try and turn the situation around.
A sudden dread struck Long Chen's heart. Li Yuechan was going to see Wang Dong, what did that mean?
"Long Chen, obviously my sister has a thing for Wang Dong. You should know when to back off and not make a fool of yourself."
Li Yuexin, sitting on the couch with her legs crossed, wearing a skirt that revealed too much at times.
Long Chen sharply turned to look at Li Yuexin; at this moment, only Li Yuexin was in the living room.
"Li Yuexin, being humane and maintaining some dignity helps keep avenues open for the future." Long Chen said sternly.
"I'm just telling the truth. My sister likes Wang Dong. Otherwise, why would she go to see him? I see it's to do things you haven't done with her, giggle."
Li Yuexin giggled.
Hearing this made Long Chen's blood pressure skyrocket. He lunged forward and slapped Li Yuexin across the face.
Li Yuexin cried out in pain, then tried furiously to fight Long Chen.
Long Chen grabbed a chair, his gaze menacing, "If you want to be killed by me, just try to make a move."
Li Yuexin stiffened up, instantly cowed, not daring to make a sound.
She had never thought this good-for-nothing would dare be so assertive, assertive enough to actually scare her into immobility.
"Behave from now on; you're nothing when I stop showing you respect."
Long Chen threw the chair and then quickly ran out of the house, not reassured about Li Yuechan meeting Wang Dong alone.
After Long Chen ran out, he saw Li Yuechan driving away.
He hurriedly sped up, ran to the roadside, and hailed a taxi, asking the driver to follow Li Yuechan's car.
About ten minutes later, Li Yuechan's car stopped outside a very famous five-star hotel in Seven Star City.
Following that, Li Yuechan entered the hotel.
This flustered Long Chen. Had Li Yuechan, just as Li Yuexin said, gotten involved in some scandalous affair with Wang Dong?
With this thought, Long Chen was filled with anger and immediately called Li Yuechan.
Li Yuechan didn't reject the call and quickly answered, "You call me as soon as I leave, what's the matter?"
"Just wanted to ask where you're meeting Wang Dong," Long Chen asked.
"A coffee shop, don't disturb me if it's nothing important. Goodbye."
Li Yuechan ended the call abruptly.
