Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Perfect Solution

Chapter 57 -57 Perfect Solution

Since it had all just been a misunderstanding between him and Li Yuechan, Zhao Churan thought, Long Chen would most likely remarry Li Yuechan.

What should she do then?

Was Long Chen going to dump her?

The more Zhao Churan thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and she couldn’t help the tears that started sliding down her cheeks.

Seeing Zhao Churan in such distress, Long Chen quickly pulled her into his arms.

“Silly girl, how could I bear to let you go, and I’m not that irresponsible,” Long Chen said comforting her softly.

“Really?”

Zhao Churan asked, surprised.

“Really. You are the first woman for me in the true sense of the word—do you understand?” Long Chen pressed, staring at Zhao Churan.

Startled, Zhao Churan then shyly said, “It’s the same for me, you were my first man, and you will be my last; as long as you don’t abandon me, I will follow you for the rest of my life.”

“That’s more like it. I told you the truth not because I wanted to keep it from you but because I didn’t want to dump you,” said Long Chen.

“But what about Li Yuechan? She was deeply misunderstood by you and even got divorced, she must be heartbroken.

How will you deal with the woman who cares so much about you, and whom you still love?”

Zhao Churan asked Long Chen.

Long Chen gave a bitter smile; he truly didn’t know what to do.

The turmoil and complexity within his heart were beyond words.

He couldn’t give up Li Yuechan.

Nor could Long Chen bring himself to abandon Zhao Churan.

“Oh, none of this is your fault; it’s all because of Li Yuechan’s mother. If it weren’t for her meddling, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.”

Zhao Churan sighed.

“Churan, what do you think we should do?”

Long Chen looked at Zhao Churan.

“I do have an idea,” Zhao Churan bit her lip and said softly, “How about this? You remarry Li Yuechan and just tell her that we’ve broken up.

Then, if you ever think of me, just come to see me, that’s enough. I was lucky to have had as much as I did; I can’t expect more.”

After speaking, Zhao Churan forced a smile.

Her words were sincere, but they were also genuinely painful.

“That can’t be the way,” Long Chen said. “Churan, if you’re willing, I’ll be frank with Yuechan. I’ll remarry her, and at the same time, you must be openly present. You and her, become sisters—how does that sound?”

“What?”

Zhao Churan was dumbfounded.

“I’m serious,” Long Chen said earnestly.

“I don’t think Li Yuechan would agree; she’s so outstanding and beautiful,” Zhao Churan said, conflicted.

“I don’t know if she’ll agree, but this is the best solution I can think of right now,” Long Chen said. “A win-win situation.”

“Hmph, you big jerk; you just want to have both, right?” Zhao Churan glared at Long Chen sharply.

“Cough, I wasn’t thinking like this initially; this is all Creation’s mischief,” Long Chen gave a dry laugh.

“Fine, as long as you can convince Li Yuechan, then I’ll listen to whatever you say; is that okay?” Zhao Churan smiled radiantly, and Long Chen could tell that she was genuinely happy now.

She was happy probably because she knew that Long Chen wouldn’t abandon her.

“I’ll find a chance to talk to her, and you should also try to interact more with Yuechan. I want things to be as peaceful as possible between you two,” Long Chen said with a smile.

“I’ll try, you scoundrel. Shall we continue our trip then and go buy that car?” 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

“Sure.”

…

Elsewhere, Li Yuechan returned home just to be scolded by Han Min.

“I heard you sacrificed yourself to get Long Chen to treat your aunt’s illness? Silly girl, you just let him take advantage of you for nothing. You should have asked for more benefits; Long Chen’s clinic has probably made a lot already. You’ve lost out big time.”

Han Min shook his head in frustration.

Li Yuechan was dumbfounded. Was this really her own mother?

“Big sister, it’s all thanks to Yuechan, otherwise I… I might not have been saved.”

Gao Jinlan quickly spoke up for Li Yuechan.

Because Gao Jinlan felt guilty, since Long Chen had said that her cancer cells hadn’t been completely eradicated. Gao Jinlan thought she might still need Li Yuechan’s help in the future.

“Mom, it’s all your fault. If it weren’t for you, how could Yuechan have been humiliated by that beast Long Chen?”

Han Jieke clenched his fists, his eyes reddened, as if he had been cuckolded.

But he didn’t notice that his words had angered Li Yuechan.

Li Yuechan’s face turned cold as she sternly said, “From this moment on, I don’t want to hear you badmouth Long Chen even a little.”

“Li Yuechan, with Long Chen treating you that way, you’re still defending him? If he’s not a beast, then what is he?”

Han Jieke shouted angrily.

Slap.

Li Yuechan, furious, raised her hand and slapped Han Jieke across the face. “Listen well, Long Chen is the only man for me, Li Yuechan, in this lifetime. Don’t curse him in front of me, otherwise, I’m willing to fight you to the end. Try me if you don’t believe it.”

Han Jieke stood dumbstruck.

He had never expected Li Yuechan to have such a fierce side.

Han Min and his wife, Li Yuexin, and Gao Jinlan and her husband, were all stunned at the moment.

Then, Han Xiao wanted to explode in anger, but Gao Jinlan stopped him.

Instead of blaming Han Jieke, Gao Jinlan scolded him, “Jack, you’re too rude. Don’t do this again.”

Han Jieke’s face turned red, unable to utter a single word, feeling worse than swallowing a dead rat.

After scolding Han Jieke, Gao Jinlan then turned to Li Yuechan and spoke many kind words.

This abnormal attitude made Li Shiqi and Han Min suspicious. It was as if Gao Jinlan had become a different person after returning from the clinic, the contrast was too stark.

In the room, only Li Yuechan knew that Gao Jinlan was being manipulated by Long Chen.

Li Yuechan had seen through Gao Jinlan and hence wasn’t planning on indulging her.

“That said, Yuechan, you went a bit too far, how could you hit someone like that?”

Han Min said with a lack of confidence.

“Mom, you all, joined together, used plots and schemes to cause Long Chen and me to divorce. My slap was light. Moreover, Long Chen now knows the truth.

He said, if you don’t give him an explanation, he won’t let you off. For example, he wants back that fifty million, or, to turn some of your minor problems into terminal illnesses.

Don’t doubt his ability, his clinic is frequented by many big shots from Seven Star City, just this point should make you consider carefully.”

Li Yuechan said indifferently.

Long Chen had never said these things, but Li Yuechan felt that if she wanted to remarry Long Chen, her parents were a hurdle she needed to cross.

And to cross this hurdle, being gentle probably wouldn’t work, being tough might yield better results.

Sure enough, Han Min panicked immediately, “Could he possibly sway those big names?”

“I don’t know that. You can ask Aunt,” Li Yuechan said.

Gao Jinlan gave an awkward smile, “I guess he could, Wu Dongyuan, who has always been close to our family, tends to favor Long Chen more.”

Li Shiqi gasped in shock, “Is Long Chen so powerful now? Even Old Wu favors him?”

“Alas, after all, Long Chen is somewhat his lifesaver,” Gao Jinlan said bitterly.

Li Shiqi fell into a thoughtful silence, recalling the times when Long Chen had been restricted in every move at the Li family’s house.

If back then, he had treated him well, would the Li family’s situation have changed now?

No, something must be done to bring Long Chen back.

Thinking this, Li Shiqi became impatient and stood up, “Yuexin, get ready, we’re going to Pure Water Villa to see your grandfather.”

“Uh, why?”

Li Yuechan was puzzled.

“Ask your grandfather to mediate with Long Chen, to see if you two can remarry. Dad can see you have feelings for Long Chen, and if that’s the case, it’s better not to be separated.”

Li Shiqi spoke earnestly.
