Chapter 84 - 84 84 Sorry I Refuse_1

84: Chapter 84: Sorry, I Refuse_1 84: Chapter 84: Sorry, I Refuse_1 Lu Chuan had a confused look on his face as he quickly withdrew his hand, “What do you want to do?”

Zhou Shufen laughed and scolded, “Ah, what’s with the unfamiliarity when seeing your own family?

Lu Chuan, we are here today specifically to apologize to you.”

Qin Lan stepped forward, with a hint of guilt and shyness, saying, “Lu Chuan, it was my fault before, I shouldn’t have treated you like that.

I’ve deeply realized my mistakes, let’s make up.”

Zhou Shufen said with a smile, “Not only do you two need to make up, but you also have to get married.

I’ve brought my household registration book, let’s go to the civil affairs bureau right now.”

After speaking, she grabbed Lu Chuan and tried to drag him outside.

Lu Chuan furrowed his brows and pulled his hand back again, asking, “What show are you guys putting on here?”

Zhou Shufen said, “Didn’t you always want to marry our Qin Lan?

Now I’m fulfilling your wish.

You’re not getting any younger.

Having a girl as good as our Qin Lan marry you, you should count your blessings.”

Lu Chuan was utterly confused.

It was then that he noticed Qin Yiyi peeking around the door, looking inside.

When Qin Yiyi saw Lu Chuan looking over, she quickly stuck out her tongue and made a face.

Lu Chuan instantly understood what was going on.

It must have been Qin Yiyi who had gone back and told Qin Lan and Zhou Shufen about his assets; otherwise, they wouldn’t be showing him such enthusiasm.

With a gentle face, Qin Lan said, “Lu Chuan, you always wanted to touch me, right?

Once we get our marriage certificate today, I’ll serve you tonight.”

Lu Chuan snorted coldly, “You can get a certificate with whoever you want.

Don’t come and trouble me!”

Zhou Shufen’s face darkened, “Lu Chuan, how can you speak like that?

What do you mean by ‘trouble’?

My daughter is willing to marry you, that’s your honor.

Stop talking nonsense and hurry up to get the certificate with us.

Otherwise, the civil affairs bureau will be closed soon.”

At that moment, Mu Nanqing walked over.

“What are you doing?”

Zhou Shufen glanced at Mu Nanqing and said, “We’re discussing Lu Chuan getting his marriage certificate with my daughter.”

Mu Nanqing’s face changed, and he blurted out, “I disagree!”

Zhou Shufen looked at him with disdain, “What right do you, an outsider, have to disagree?

As long as I approve, there’s no problem with this matter!”

Mu Nanqing said anxiously, “I…I’m Lu Chuan’s sister-in-law, which makes me his elder.

I naturally have a say in his marriage.

Your daughter cheated on Lu Chuan with other men while they were dating; I can’t let Xiaochuan be ruined by her!”

Zhou Shufen’s face immediately showed displeasure as she pushed Mu Nanqing, “What are you talking about?

What do you mean my daughter was messing around behind his back?

Those were just accidents, who doesn’t make mistakes when young?

On the contrary, you, with no real relationship, are clinging to Lu Chuan.

It seems to me you’re the one with ulterior motives!”

“You!” Mu Nanqing was so angered that her chest heaved with emotion.

Lu Chuan shielded her behind him and said coldly, “If you dare to touch my sister-in-law again, don’t blame me for not being polite!”

Zhou Shufen was furious, “Lu Chuan, how can you not differentiate right from wrong?

We are family, why are you helping an outsider!”

Lu Chuan speechlessly said, “Who is family with you?

Quickly get out of my medical hall, or else I’m throwing you out!”

With a cold face, Qin Lan said, “Lu Chuan, I’ve lowered myself to come plead with you, what more do you want!”

Lu Chuan glanced at her, “I’ve made myself clear too, I won’t want someone else’s discarded shoes, so stop wasting your time.”

Qin Lan clenched her fists, wishing she could kill Lu Chuan.

Zhou Shufen said with a dark face, “Since you don’t want to get back together with my daughter, let’s forget it, but you’ve wasted several of her best years, her youth, so you have to pay breakup fees for my daughter.

We won’t ask for much—just thirty million is fine.

Can you transfer it now?

I’ll give you the card number.”

Lu Chuan laughed coldly, “I wasted her youth?

I’ve put in so much effort over the years only to be met with betrayal in the end.

Why don’t you talk about compensating me thirty million?”

Zhou Shufen said with disdain, “Well, you’re the man, aren’t you?

Don’t you know that a woman’s most precious years are only those few?”

Lu Chuan, holding back his anger, said, “I won’t give you guys a penny.

If you keep making unreasonable trouble, then I really won’t be polite anymore!”

Zhou Shufen cursed, “You dare!

You useless coward, you dare to threaten me like this?

Listen here, if we don’t get the money today, we are not leaving!”

Lu Chuan turned to Mu Nanqing and said, “Sister-in-law, go get the cleaver from the yard.”

“Okay!” Mu Nanqing did not hesitate and ran to fetch the cleaver.

Lu Chuan took it, staring at Zhou Shufen, “This is a medical hall where healing people is my duty.

If you won’t go, then it seems there must be something seriously wrong with your legs.

I’ll help by cutting them off first to prevent the problem from spreading to the rest of the body!”

After speaking, he swung the cleaver towards Zhou Shufen.

The aura of a Qi Cultivation Level 7 exploded, scaring Zhou Shufen and Qin Lan out of their wits.

Zhou Shufen hurriedly grabbed Qin Lan, hastily fleeing outside the medical hall.

Lu Chuan chased to the doorway and shouted, “If you come looking for trouble again, this will be your fate!”

He lifted his hand and swung the cleaver down onto a stone on the ground.

Bang.

Because the force was too fierce, the stone didn’t split in half but instead shattered into countless little pieces, scattering in all directions.

A stone grazed past Zhou Shufen’s face, leaving a cut.

Zhou Shufen howled miserably, “Rebellion!

It’s outright rebellion!

A worthless man dares to shout at me like this!

He even tried to cut me!”

Qin Lan hurriedly took out a piece of paper to stop the bleeding for Zhou Shufen.

Lu Chuan snorted coldly and didn’t bother with the mother and daughter anymore, turning back into the medical hall.

Qin Yiyi stepped out and muttered to herself, “I think I’ve caused a disaster…”

A figure clad in white walked toward the direction of Hanging Gourd Medical Hall.

Many bystanders were drawn to the fierce aura he emitted.

Someone exclaimed, “It’s Lew Qing!

One of the top ten experts from Cloud City, Lew Qing!”

“It really is him!

What is he doing here?”

Lew Qing ignored everyone and made his way straight to the doorstep of Hanging Gourd Medical Hall.

“Lu Chuan!

Get the hell out here!”

The booming voice threatened to burst the eardrums of passersby.

Zhou Shufen, who was nearby trying to stop some bleeding, cursed, “What kind of trouble has this jinx Lu Chuan gotten into now, to have offended such a big figure?”

Someone in the crowd who was enjoying the commotion said, “That’s Lew Qing from Cloud City, a true Grade 7 Grandmaster!”

Zhou Shufen’s eyes lit up, “Great!

Someone is going to deal with that beast Lu Chuan for us.

Daughter, let’s wait to see how Lu Chuan gets taken care of before we leave.”

Qin Lan nodded her head.

The words of Lu Chuan earlier had irked her, and now she hoped nothing more than for someone else to beat him to death.

Lu Chuan, who had just returned to the medical hall and was about to sit down for some tea to calm his annoyance, heard the shouting and frowned, “What’s this, now?

Another troublemaker?”

He stood up and went to the entrance of the medical hall to see Lew Qing standing there and asked, “Who are you?

I don’t seem to recognize you.”

Lew Qing replied indifferently, “Lew Qingqing is my sister.

Not only did you bully her, but you also caused her company to verge on bankruptcy.

I’m here to avenge her.”

Lu Chuan’s eyes narrowed, and, suddenly remembering something, exclaimed in surprise, “You’re Lew Qing!”

Lew Qing nodded, “Exactly.”

Lu Chuan’s expression became serious.

He had heard Chu Mengyao mention Lew Qing and had looked him up afterward, knowing that this man was one of the top ten experts in Cloud City, a bona fide Grade 7 Grandmaster!

“What do you want?” Lu Chuan asked.

Lew Qing raised his hand and threw a piece of paper towards Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan caught it, the force behind it so formidable it almost slit his hand open.

A Grade 7 Grandmaster, truly as formidable as his reputation!

At the top of the paper, written in bold brush strokes, were two characters: a challenge letter!

Lew Qing spoke up, “I’ve heard that you also practice martial arts and possess no small skill.

Since that’s the case, let’s resolve this matter according to the rules of the martial arts world.”

“I’ve come today to issue you a challenge.

In three days, I will set up a platform at Qingxi Tea House, waiting for a duel to the death!”

Zhou Shufen burst into laughter from a distance, “Lu Chuan, this is your retribution!

Weren’t you so arrogant before?

Now that this great expert wants to fight to the death with you, just wait for your demise!”

A cold smile appeared on Qin Lan’s face, “Even if you have made a name for yourself, what good does it do in the end if you’re still heading down a dead-end road?

Out of old times’ sake, I will burn paper money for you every year!”

Lu Chuan ignored them, glanced at the challenge letter, and then promptly tore it to shreds, saying, “Sorry, I do not accept.”

Zhou Shufen and Qin Lan were taken aback.

Lew Qing was also stunned.

He had never considered the possibility of Lu Chuan refusing the challenge.

Qin Lan cursed loudly, “Lu Chuan, you spineless wimp!

When someone places a challenge before you and you don’t have the guts to accept, you mouse!

I despise you!”

Lu Chuan smirked and said to Lew Qing, “Your sister reaped what she sowed, which has nothing to do with me.

Furthermore, I have no interest in a life-or-death duel with you.

I hope you won’t bother me in the future.”

After saying that, he turned and went back into the medical hall.

Lew Qing was a Grade 7 Grandmaster, famous for many years, and far more powerful than Cao Xiong.

The current Lu Chuan was not his match, so there was no point in foolishly accepting the challenge.

Mu Nanqing followed Lu Chuan back and asked worriedly, “Xiaochuan, it was wise of you not to accept the challenge, but what if he decides to cause trouble for you in private?”

Lu Chuan replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, sister-in-law.

He wouldn’t dare.

As someone who has been famous for a long time, even if he secretly committed murder, he would easily be recognized.

The Censorate Department won’t turn a blind eye, unless he wants a life-for-life fight with me.

Otherwise, issuing a challenge is the only way he can confront me.”

Mu Nanqing understood and breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the medical hall.

Lew Qing stood there in a daze, taking a long while to snap out of it.

Zhou Shufen, not far away, commented disdainfully, “Who would’ve thought that the fool Lu Chuan could actually grow a brain, to know when to evade a fight.

He got off easy.”

Qin Lan’s eyes swiveled, and with a cunning smile, she said, “I have a way to force Lu Chuan to accept the challenge.”

Zhou Shufen asked curiously, “What is it?”

Qin Lan said with a smile, “You don’t need to ask about that.

The fewer people know about such matters, the better.”

“You go and take Yiyi away, to prevent her from tipping off Lu Chuan.”

Zhou Shufen started to smile, “Good, as long as it takes care of Lu Chuan, I agree with any method!”

With that, she went over and dragged Qin Yiyi away.

Lew Qing was obsessing, “How can he refuse!

On what ground does he refuse!

If he refuses, how am I supposed to kill him?”

Qin Lan walked over, smiling, and said, “Mr.

Lew, don’t worry.

I have a way to help you force Lu Chuan to accept the challenge.”
