The Reversal of a Son-in-law

Behind them, Han Min's face turned white again. "Who was he saying that lacks a sense of gratitude and repayment? Oh. So he's been freeloading at our house for more than a year doing nothing, and we still have to treat this as a great favor?"

"We even give him two grand as his monthly pocket money," Li Yuexin added in a low voice.

"After closing a business deal, this guy's lost himself. It's gone to his head. A man like him can't be successful," Li Shiqi exclaimed.

"You guys should quit talking." Li Yuechan retracted her gaze from Long Chen and uttered solemnly, "Dad, Mom. Honestly, since we don't see him as a family member, that's why sometimes you could feel his hostility from his words. It's normal. Sure, he did nothing during the past year. He lives on his two grand pocket money monthly. However, he helped us big time. If he'd wanted his reward, it would have been enough for him to make it through his whole lifetime."

"Li Yuechan, please don't tell me you've fallen for this trash. Should I remind you that he only managed to close the deal because he happened to save Wang Wanli? It doesn't mean that he has real potential." Han Min fixed her eyes on Li Yuechan.

"If you don't take him as your son-in-law, I believe you should be more respectful to him. You can only criticize him appropriately if you see him as family." Li Yuechan gave an irrelevant answer.

...

At this second, Long Chen turned to face Ning Haoran, who had walked out with him.

Ning Haoran pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up. Smoke surrounded him. He didn't pass a cigarette to Long Chen but blew smoke in his face.

Long Chen shot him a glance. Immediately, Ning Haoran's body went transparent in his vision. Now, he knew what illness he had or what disease he might develop.

"It must be difficult suffering from prostatitis at such a young age, eh?" Long Chen said indifferently.

Ning Haoran froze instantly in his smoking posture. That was something personal, a secret. He didn't even tell his family, so how did Long Chen know?

"You investigated me?" Ning Haoran's eyes shot daggers.

"Do you think I would waste my time investigating trash like you?" Long Chen smirked in disdain.

"Long Chen, I don't care how you found out. It doesn't matter. I'm here to tell you that Li Yuexin is my girlfriend. How dare you trick her behind her back? If you don't give me an explanation, I'm afraid your life won't ever go well. If you know what's good for you, kneel and apologize," Ning Haoran said grimly.

p "Oh. What if I don't do as you say? How bad will it be?"

"I'll give you an example. Watch your step when you walk on the streets at night alone. Be careful not to disappear in the thin air." Ning Haoran squinted his eyes.

"Do you know what I hate most?" Long Chen returned the stare.

"You hate it most when people threaten you? You must have watched a lot of movies, kiddo. Things don't work that way in reality." Amusement filled Ning Haoran's eyes.

"I beg to differ." Just when Long Chen finished talking, his fist landed on Ning Haoran's abdomen.

Pow!

Blood spurted from his mouth. He stumbled a few steps back before falling to the ground with a heavy thud.

"You... did you just punch me?" Ning Haoran couldn't believe it.

"I could kill you if I wanted to. Wanna give it a try?" Long Chen launched forward, wrapped his hand around Ning Haoran's neck, and lifted the hundred-pound guy without breaking a sweat.

Ning Haoran struggled to breathe. He clutched Long Chen's hand tightly, his eyes filled with horror. He caught the killing intent in Long Chen's eyes and picked up the intimidating vibe from Long Chen. It was as if he was facing the Reaper himself. He couldn't make himself look directly at Long Chen, especially his deep eyes projecting icy stares. He had only gotten this kind of feeling once from a crime lord. "I-I was wrong," he apologized.

"Mind your step." Long Chen threw Ning Haoran to the ground.

Ning Haoran coughed and coughed, for Long Chen almost choked him to death.

"Long Chen, you jerk! What did you do?" Li Yuexin hurried to Ning Haoran's side and helped him up.

There wasn't any expression on Long Chen's face, and he didn't bother to respond.

"Long Chen. You're *sshole!"

Li Shiqi, Han Min, and Li Yuechan all headed out. Their expressions changed drastically. Li Shiqi cursed, reaching his hand to teach Long Chen a lesson.

"Dad, don't do it." Li Yuechan stopped him.

"He's getting out of control, acting like an outlaw. If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll finish us off sooner or later," Li Shiqi shouted.

"Dad, you guys go check on Ning Haoran's injury. I'll talk to Long Chen," Li Yuechan uttered lowly.

"You'd better end things with him. You must divorce a violent husband like him." Li Shiqi reminded in a stern tone.

"Mhm." Li Yuechan nodded.

Then, Li Yuechan walked up to Long Chen and said indifferently, "At first, I had a good impression of you. But I didn't expect you to be such a violent person. Do you think fists can solve all problems?"

"He wanted me to kneel. He was insulting me. That's why I couldn't hold back. Don't worry, honey. If anything happens, I..."

"Forget it. People like you are stubborn as a mule who always gets into fights. I wish you could stop being a coward, but I never asked you to beat somebody up. You were lucky. When you hit Wang Dong, you got away with it. And now it's only been a day, and you're punching someone else again. I really can't put up with you anymore. Let's get a divorce tomorrow. Don't worry. You've helped the Li family a lot. I'll give you money in return. From now on, we don't owe each other anything." Li Yuechan spoke through gritted teeth. She wondered why, after saying those words, she felt awful. It was like there was a lump in her throat.

"Do we have to do this? Have you ever considered the possibility that I must have a solution already before I went after him?" Long Chen asked.

"What kind of solution do you have? I don't want to hear your explanation anymore. Our marriage is over," Li Yuechan said in a low voice.

"Alright, I respect your decision." Long Chen took a deep breath, and his eyes went red. In the end, he couldn't stay with her. He was disappointed, reluctant to accept his faith. His voice was hoarse."You have our marriage certificate, so bring it with you tomorrow. I'll be waiting at the Civil Affairs Bureau." With that, Long Chen turned around and left.

"Where are you going?" Li Yuechan blurted out of instinct.

"Since we're getting a divorce, it doesn't have anything to do with you anymore." Long Chen clenched his fists.

Li Yuechan heard him, and she gritted her teeth. The uncomfortable and upsetting feeling in her chest grew deeper.

"He needs to get lost. Yuechan, you've finally made a wise decision," Han Min rejoiced.

"Divorce is good. Heh. A man like him will end up on the streets after leaving our house," Li Yuexin said uncaringly.

Li Yuechan closed her eyes, murmuring weakly, "Stop talking. He didn't do anything wrong in the first place. His only fault was that he shouldn't have attacked another man. Since you all want him to leave, then I'll get a divorce."

After saying that, Li Yuechan reopened her eyes and walked away.

"Yuechan, where are you going?" Li Shiqi asked.

"I need some space. I'm going to look for my friends." Li Yuechan was beyond frustrated.

At this moment, Long Chen had just walked a few hundred meters when he ran into Zhao Churan.

Zhao Churan was dressed in a white tracksuit, showing off her curvy body. She was carrying a bag of fruits. When she saw Long Chen, her mouth popped open. But she immediately snapped out of it. "Did you come looking for me? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You took it the wrong way. I actually live here, only a few hundred meters from your place," Long Chen replied.

"What a coincidence." Zhao Churan was surprised. "But you don't seem to be in a good mood. Do you want to come over to sit down, have a drink, and talk it out?"

"Would I disturb you?"

"For others, yes. For you, no. I'd welcome you anytime." Zhao Churan's beam was wide.
