Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Astonishing as a Celestial Being
Mu Qingqing had barely finished speaking when Long Xue’er hurriedly shot her a look.
Because Long Xue’er knew that although her brother’s days in the Li Family had not been to his liking, he really fancied Li Yuechan.
Now with the divorce, he would inevitably feel sad.
“What’s there to fear?” Mu Qingqing said, “Better to divorce than to be a worthless live-in son-in-law. Just look at your brother. After his divorce, he’s risen to great heights. This proves that the Li Family was affecting his luck.”
“Stop talking.”
Long Xue’er rolled her eyes at Mu Qingqing.
Then she said to Long Chen, “Brother, Qingqing is just like that, don’t get mad.”
“Mad about what?” Long Chen laughed, “It’s true that the Li Family was affecting my luck.”
“Hehe, see? I knew he wouldn’t be so petty. Xue’er, I’m starting to really like your brother. How about I beco your sister-in-law?”
Mu Qingqing teased.
“No way,” Long Xue’er imdiately said, “Dream on. I’d rather be my own sister-in-law than let you be it.”
“Ah?”
Mu Qingqing was flabbergasted.
Long Chen was also startled, almost driving the car into a ditch on the side of the road.
“Bro, be careful.”
“It’s you who should be careful, talking nonsense and scaring the daylights out of .”
“Haha, then I won’t say it next ti,” Long Xue’er giggled.
Half an hour later, Long Chen arrived at Zhao Churan’s house with the two won.
He had no choice, departing from the Li Family, he could only manage to arrange their stay here.
“Brother, did you buy this villa? It’s so beautiful.”
Long Xue’er wandered around.
As she explored, Long Xue’er noticed sothing was off.
There were too many won’s items in this villa.
So her gaze also continued to make discoveries, leading to so subtle shifts.
Finally, Long Xue’er ran back to Long Chen and glared at him.
“What’s wrong?”
Long Chen was puzzled.
“Brother, you’re not being honest.”
Long Xue’er pouted angrily.
“How am I not being honest?”
“I didn’t know you divorced Li Yuechan, and I didn’t know you’re cohabiting with another woman. Humph, did you think I couldn’t tell there are many won’s things in this villa?”
“Well, I haven’t had the chance to say, I actually—”
“Long Chen, you’re back?”
At that mont, Zhao Churan suddenly walked in.
As she entered, she bent down to remove her high heels.
Her perfect figure was stunningly captivating.
With just one glance, Long Xue’er recognized Zhao Churan as the famous beauty CEO of Seven Star City.
“Brother, she… she’s your girlfriend?”
Long Xue’er stuttered.
And Zhao Churan, hearing the voices, looked up and paused.
Then, wearing slippers, she approached, “Long Chen, is this your sister?”
“Yes, this is my sister, Long Xue’er, and her best friend, Mu Qingqing.”
Long Chen introduced with a smile, “Xue’er, this is Zhao Churan, my girlfriend. You can call her Sister Churan.”
“Sisters, Xue’er, Qingqing, hello.”
Zhao Churan greeted with a light laugh.
“Sister Churan, I’ve seen you on TV before and thought you were otherworldly. Who would’ve thought you are even more beautiful in person—like a fairy descending to earth. My goodness, my brother must’ve stepped in so super lucky dog poop to have chard you.”
Long Xue’er circled Zhao Churan in astonishnt.
“It was
who chard your brother. Had to coax and trick him to get him.”
Zhao Churan giggled.
“My, does my brother have that much charm?”
Long Xue’er expressed skepticism.
Long Chen flicked Long Xue’er’s tender forehead and chuckled, “You little brat, watch your words. Go cook so food.”
“Got it.”
Long Xue’er said in a put-upon voice.
“Long Chen, how can you treat your sister like that?”
Zhao Churan gave Long Chen a disapproving look.
Then, stepping forward, she took Long Xue’er’s hand and gently blew on her forehead where Long Chen had flicked it.
The tender gesture nearly brought tears to Long Xue’er’s eyes.
“Does it hurt?”
Zhao Churan asked softly.
“It hurts.”
“You bad brother, we’ll ignore him.”
“Oh, actually, it doesn’t hurt. I’ll go cook.”
“Don’t,” Zhao Churan said, “You and your bestie Qingqing just rest well. I’ll cook.”
“No worries, then let’s go help you out.”
“Sure.”
Long Chen watched the three won walk into the kitchen before sitting down on the couch and starting to casually chat on WeChat with Li Yuechan.
Boom.
Just then, a loud explosion suddenly ca from outside.
The booming sound made the house seem to tremble for a mont.
Long Chen imdiately stood up and went outside to check.
He saw clouds of dust near Li Yuechan’s house.
Long Chen felt a sinking feeling in his heart and imdiately ran frantically towards Li Yuechan’s house.
Upon arriving at the scene, Long Chen realized it wasn’t Li Yuechan’s house in trouble but rather the house of Li Yuechan’s neighbor had collapsed.
Li Yuechan and others also ca out to watch, each with a look of shock on their faces.
“Yuechan, what happened?”
Long Chen jogged up to Li Yuechan.
“I don’t know either. We were just eating dinner when suddenly there was this huge noise, and when we ca out, we saw this,” said Li Yuechan.
“I’ll go and check; there might still be people alive,” Long Chen said seriously.
“Don’t.” Li Yuechan quickly grabbed Long Chen. “It’s too dangerous to go in now; the house is still collapsing.”
“But…”
Whoosh.
Before Long Chen could finish, he noticed a figure, like a streak of aurora light, blink into the ruins.
The speed was so astonishing that probably only Long Chen could catch a glimpse of it.
Long Chen was a bit startled and stared intently at the ruins, his vision penetrating through the dust and debris to see clearly what was inside.
The person who had dashed in at the speed of light was indeed a person, and it was Ye Zhen from the Great Xia Dragon Palace.
In the chaos of the ruins, Ye Zhen casually swept through the air, and the massive remains of the villa, weighing thousands of pounds, were easily moved aside and flew to one side.
This move changed Long Chen’s expression, astonishing him beyond belief.
Clearly, Ye Zhen was looking for survivors inside.
But after a long search, Ye Zhen found nothing.
He sighed and stealthily left from the other side of the collapsed villa.
Long Chen took a deep breath. The ability Ye Zhen demonstrated inside had completely changed Long Chen’s understanding of the world.
Apparently, there were indeed so beyond-imagination beings in this world who possessed extraordinary abilities beyond human reach.
“I heard that the neighbors offended so big shot; now their house has been blown up, probably the work of their enemies,” Han Min said with an air of mystery.
“Where did you hear that?” asked Li Shiqi.
“I heard it during the mahjong ga; I don’t know the specifics,” Han Min replied.
“Don’t talk nonsense,” said Li Shiqi. “These things have nothing to do with our family.”
“Like you’re the smart one, I don’t understand? Old fool,” Han Min cursed.
Li Shiqi’s eyebrows twitched but he didn’t argue with Han Min.
At this mont, Long Chen turned his gaze away.
Since Ye Zhen hadn’t found any survivors, it was pointless for him to enter, and naturally, soone would investigate what happened here.
“Yuechan, my sister is here; do you want to co over and sit for a while?” Long Chen asked softly.
“Sure, I’m just afraid Zhao…” Li Yuechan began to say but suddenly stopped.
She realized that Han Min was staring at her.
“Mom, I’m going to take a walk with Long Chen,” Li Yuechan changed her tone quickly.
“If it’s Long Chen’s sister who has co over, then you should bring her to the house, Long Chen. We’re all family; there’s no need to be hesitant,” Han Min said with a smile.
“Maybe so other ti; we will be going now.”
Long Chen took Li Yuechan by the hand and left.
“Why do I feel like Yuechan is acting strange?” Han Min watched the retreating figures of Long Chen and Li Yuechan, feeling suspicious.
“Mom, don’t overthink it. It’s not easy for brother-in-law and my sister to get back together; let’s not make things more complicated,” Li Yuexin said with a laugh.
“You brat, what do you an by making things complicated? Also, I think you’re acting strange too. Didn’t you always dislike Long Chen? Why are you helping him out now?” Han Min glared at Li Yuexin.
“That’s a secret,” Li Yuexin said with her arms crossed and an arrogant expression on her face.
…
On the other hand, Li Yuechan stopped when they were about to reach Zhao Churan’s house.
“Long Chen, maybe I shouldn’t go after all,” Li Yuechan said through clenched teeth.
“Why not?”
“I’m afraid Zhao Churan might kick
out; it would be so embarrassing, especially since she is officially your girlfriend now,” Li Yuechan said, biting her lip with a hint of resentnt.
“That won’t happen. Churan knows about my relationship with you, and you know about her and ; everything between us is transparent. It’s a good opportunity for you both to get to know each other and get along. What do you think?”
“You big blockhead, you just want us to be as close as sisters, obediently serving you, that stinky man, right?”
