An Understated Dominance

Chapter 02

In the elevator.

Lu Chen looked at the jade pendant on his chest, his eyes full of disappointment.

Although he had expected it, he still couldn’t be free and easy when he really ended this marriage.

He thought happiness was simple, three meals a day, plain and happy enough.

Now he understands.

It turns out that being ordinary is also a sin.

After three years of intoxication in the land of gentleness, now it’s time to wake up.

“Dinglingling…”

When I was in a daze, the phone suddenly rang.

When I answered it, a familiar voice came over.

“Mr. Lu, I’m Wang Baishou from Jiangling Chamber of Commerce. I heard that today is your wedding anniversary with Miss Li. I specially prepared a gift. I wonder when you have time?”

“Thank you for your kindness, President Wang, but I won’t need it in the future.” Lu Chen said lightly.

“Huh?” Wang Baishou was slightly startled.

Faintly, he smelled something unusual.

“President Wang, is there anything else?” Lu Chen changed the subject.

“Ahem… there is indeed one more thing I need to trouble you with.”

Wang Baishou coughed twice in embarrassment: “It’s like this, I have a friend who has recently fallen ill and has consulted many famous doctors but none of them can cure him. I hope Mr. Lu can help him.”

“President Wang, you should know my rules.”

“Of course! If I didn’t have some sincerity, I wouldn’t dare to trouble you. To be honest, my friend’s family just happens to have a dragon heart grass that you need. As long as you are willing to help, this rare medicinal material is the reward.” Wang Baishou said.

“Are you serious?” Lu Chen’s expression became serious.

“Absolutely true!”

“Okay, if that’s the case, then I’ll go there in person.” Lu Chen immediately agreed.

He has no interest in money, jewelry, or anything like that.

But some rare medicinal materials are what he dreams of.

Because he needs them to save his life!

“Thank you, Mr. Lu, I’ll send someone to pick you up right away!” Wang Baishou smiled with relief.

As one of the three giants in Jiangling and the president of the Chamber of Commerce who is above ten thousand people, he was so cautious in front of Lu Chen at this moment…

“I’m lucky. I found another rare medicinal material. Now I only need five more. I should be able to make it in time.”

Lu Chen muttered to himself.

The gloomy mood just now finally eased a little.

“Ding Dong!”

At this time, the elevator door opened.

Lu Chen stepped out. As soon as he walked out of the company gate, he saw two familiar figures coming towards him.

One was Li Qingyao’s mother, Zhang Cuihua.

The other was his younger brother Li Hao.

“Mom, Xiaohao, why are you here?” Lu Chen greeted first.

“You and Qingyao, have you divorced?” Zhang Cuihua got straight to the point as soon as she opened her mouth.

“Yes.”

Lu Chen forced a smile: “This matter has nothing to do with Qingyao. It’s my problem. Don’t blame her.”

He originally meant to part ways in peace, but he didn’t expect that after listening, Zhang Cuihua snorted coldly: “Of course it’s your problem! I know my daughter’s character very well. If you hadn’t done something to let her down, how could she divorce you?!”

“Huh?”

Lu Chen was stunned and didn’t react.

Is this… the evil person complaining first?

“Mom, you should see clearly what I have done in the past three years. I ask myself, I have never done anything to let Li Qingyao down.” Lu Chen said.

“Humph! People’s hearts are separated from their stomachs. Who knows what you have done? Anyway, my daughter is divorcing you, it’s definitely right! Look at your own virtue, how can you be worthy of my daughter?” Zhang Cuihua curled her lips.

“Mom, are you too much?” Lu Chen frowned slightly.

Three years ago, if he hadn’t helped, how could the Li family be what it is today?

“Too much? So what? Am I not telling the truth?” Zhang Cuihua crossed her arms.

“Okay, mom! Stop talking nonsense to him!”

At this time, Li Hao next to him suddenly stepped forward: “Mr. Lu! I don’t care if you divorce my sister, but you must hand over the money!”

“Money? What money?” Lu Chen looked puzzled.

“Don’t pretend here! Don’t think I don’t know that my sister gave you 8 million as a breakup fee!” Li Hao said coldly.

“That’s right! Those are my daughter’s money. Why did you take it? Hurry up and hand it over!” Zhang Cuihua stretched out her hand to beg for it.

“I don’t want a penny of that 8 million.” Lu Chen denied.

“Bullshit! Who would leave 8 million? Do you think we are fools?!” Li Hao didn’t believe it at all.

“Mr. Lu, if you know what’s good for you, you’d better hand over the money, otherwise don’t blame me for turning against you!” Zhang Cuihua warned.

“If you don’t believe it, you can call Li Qingyao.” Lu Chen was too lazy to explain.

“What? Are you scaring us? I tell you, no matter who begs for mercy today, you must leave the house with nothing, and don’t even think about taking a penny!” Zhang Cuihua said viciously.

“Mom! Since he doesn’t know what’s good for him, let’s search it ourselves!”

Li Hao was a little impatient and started to search in Lu Chen’s pockets.

Zhang Cuihua was not willing to be left behind and followed suit.

“Mom, do you have to go to this extent?” Lu Chen frowned.

He really didn’t expect that the Li family would be so aggressive just after signing the divorce.

They really didn’t leave any face.

“Bah! Who is your mother? Don’t scream! What’s your identity? Can you match us?!” Zhang Cuihua looked disgusted.

While speaking, her movements did not stop at all.

After searching for a while, the two found nothing.

“What a hell, did this guy really not ask for money?” Li Hao was a little unwilling.

At this time, he glanced and suddenly saw the jade pendant on Lu Chen’s chest, and pulled it off directly.

“Isn’t this the antique jade pendant worn by my sister? Why is it here with you? Did you steal it?!” Li Hao looked suspicious.

“This is my Lu family’s heirloom, give it back to me!” Lu Chen’s face sank.

He doesn’t need a penny, but he must take back his mother’s relics!

“Heirloom? So, this thing is very valuable?” Li Hao’s eyes lit up.

“Mr. Lu! You’ve been eating and drinking for free in my house for three years. This jade pendant is considered as interest. Let’s go!”

Zhang Cuihua winked and prepared to leave with her son.

“Stop!”

Lu Chen grabbed Li Hao’s wrist and said in a deep voice: “Give me back the jade pendant!”

“Ah~ It hurts! Let go of me!”

Li Hao felt like his wrist was about to be broken.

“Give it back to me!”

Lu Chen spoke word by word.

“Fuck! I’d rather throw it away than give it to you!”

Seeing that he couldn’t break free, Li Hao also got ruthless and threw the jade pendant heavily to the ground.

“Pah!”

There was a crisp sound.

The jade pendant broke into pieces on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen was instantly struck by lightning, his face turned pale.

This – but it was his mother’s relic!

It was also the only thing he wanted in his life!

“Dare you to attack me? At worst, we can just break up!”

Li Hao shook his wrist and cursed.

“Ka Ka Ka…”

Lu Chen clenched his fists slowly, and his finger bones crackled.

Those cold eyes were already red and bloodshot.

“Beast!”

Lu Chen finally couldn’t help it, and slapped Li Hao in the face.

“Pah!”

Li Hao was beaten and turned in the air twice, and then fell heavily to the ground.

For a while, he was dizzy and couldn’t even stand up.

“Uneducated thing! Since your mother doesn’t know how to teach you, then I will teach you myself!”

Lu Chen grabbed Li Hao’s hair and lifted him up.

Then he attacked again, slapping Li Hao’s face with loud slaps.

“Pa, pa, pa, pa…”

With the sound of crisp sound, Li Hao was soon beaten with bruises and blood in his mouth, which was a horrible sight.

“You, you dare to hit my son? I will fight you!”

Zhang Cuihua shouted, and was ready to go up to help.

“Get out!”

Lu Chen turned around and glared.

The scarlet devil-like eyes frightened Zhang Cuihua so much that she could not move.
