Chapter 1 — It’s Hard to Get Going Without Money

“Young Master, ten years has passed. It’s time to let go of your past grudges,”
“It will be the Master’s fiftieth birthday next month. It’s been more than ten years since you’ve met him and he really wants to see you again. Besides, he also mentioned that he will announce the news to everyone that you will be back to inherit his place in the family.”
At the entrance of Hong Wu Street, Lu Chen was holding a box of desserts that he had bought for his daughter, Qiqi. His gaze swept over the elderly man dressed in a silk Tang suit as he chuckled coldly.
“Return?” Lu Chen snorted, his gaze distant.
“From the day that he allowed that harlot, Xiao Bieqing, to hurt my mother, I’ve severed my ties with him. However, it is still possible for me to return, under the condition that he has to severe Xiao Bieqing’s head and hand it over to me!”
The elderly man and his bodyguards beside him gave each other a look.
“If it’s not possible, then move,” Lu Chen grunted.
The elderly man instinctively moved aside as Lu Chen strode forward. His silhouette looked strong and intimidating, seemingly undefeatable.
Lu Chen was outraged. He was full of hatred.
Ten years back, his mother was rammed to death by a car.
Although the report of the investigation concluded that it was the fault of the driver who drove under the influence of alcohol, deep down, everyone knew that it was planned by Xiao Bieqing to gain power.
When Lu Chen went to confront his dad for an explanation, all his father gave him was a slap in the face and berated him for being ungrateful.
Disappointed by his father’s actions, he left Beijing to study in Chongqing on his own. Then, he got into a relationship, married and had children. Basically, he carried on with his life, living like any other ordinary human.
However, after he married his wife, he wasn’t well-accepted by his wife’s family. In fact, both him and his wife, Lin Yijun, were forced out of their house, with both of them barely surviving on their meagre wages, but he wasn’t complaining. With a beautiful wife and a cute, thoughtful daughter, he was grateful with what he had.
As for going back to his family?
That would be a nightmare.
Suddenly, Lu Chen’s phone rang.
Right after he answered the call, his wife, Lin Yijun’s exasperated voice rang from the other end of the call, “Lu Chen, where the hell did you go? Qiqi’s illness is acting up again. Don’t you know how serious it is? Didn’t I ask you to look after her at the hospital? How could you leave her alone and go out on your own?”
Lu Chen felt as if he was struck by lightning.
He snapped back from his trance and tightened his grip on his phone. He replied hoarsely, “I’m going back immediately.”
Lu Chen was anxious. With no time to spare, he immediately hailed a cab and headed to the hospital.
Although he was in a panic, he still held tightly onto the box of desserts that was packaged exquisitely. It was Qiqi’s favourite food; she had been bugging him for days to buy them for her, so he couldn’t possibly let her down.
At the entrance of the ward, before Lu Chen could even catch his breath, a gorgeous woman bolted over and gave him a slap in the face.
His wife, Lin Yijun, was a one-of-a-kind beauty with a 168cm build, gorgeous figure, and delicate features.
Although their daughter was already three years old, Lu Chen’s wife still retained her beauty as if she was still twenty years old. Not only was she still in shape, her maturity also gave her a lingering charm.
It was just that Lin Yijun was furious right now.
“Lu Chen! I’m really disappointed in you!”
Lu Chen lowered his head guiltily, “How’s Qiqi?”
“I can’t believe that you still have the guts to ask about Qiqi’s condition! If it weren’t for you, Qiqi’s illness wouldn’t have acted up for a few minutes before she was found by the doctors and sent to the emergency room! If her illness was delayed for even a minute longer, she could have lost her life!” Lin Yijun pointed in Lu Chen’s face and spat. “It was by luck that Qiqi’s condition has stabilised. If not, I would never forgive you!”
Being told that their daughter’s condition had stabilised made Lu Chen finally feel as if some weight was lifted off his shoulders.
Qiqi was his precious daughter; of course he wanted her to be happy and healthy more than anyone else!
If it was possible, he wouldn’t mind sacrificing his own life to exchange for her health!
Right then, two women appeared from behind Lin Yijun.
Lu Chen obviously recognised them. They were his mother-in-law, Wang Xue, and his sister-in-law, Lin Yijia.
Wang Xue cursed when she saw Lu Chen, “You good-for-nothing trouble-maker! At least a dog looks after its master’s house, while you just leech off my daughter! Great, now look what you've done? You useless trash, you can’t even look after your own daughter! My daughter had so many admirers. They could line up and fill an entire street! Not only that, almost all of them were successful entrepreneurs or pillars of society! I really don’t know what curse you’ve bespelled on my daughter for her to be blinded and agree to get married to you!”
Then, Wang Xue turned around to face Lin Yijun and advised, “Listen to me, just get a divorce. Stop ruining your life by wasting your time with this loser anymore.”
“Yeah, Yijun,” Lin Yijia chided in as she rolled her eyes toward Lu Chen. “Qiqi’s medical fees are literally an extortion on all of your personal savings! Has he ever contributed anything to help you out? This kind of man doesn't even deserve to be called one! I heard that your superior, Fan Ming, is interested in you, right? You should just be with him instead!”
Normally, Lin Yijun would have retorted right away when she heard her mother and sister criticising her husband.
However, she remained silent today.
She was too disappointed in Lu Chen!
She’d tolerated him when he chose to work as a security guard, but how could he go out to loiter around when his daughter was seriously ill?
Had he lost all his sense of responsibility and heart?!
Right at the moment, a nurse walked over.
She scanned Lu Chen and the others before informing them, “Family members of the patient, you already owe the hospital a total of 100,000 in medical fees. If you can’t pay and add on another 200,000 as a deposit today, the hospital will stop providing medication for the patient.”
Lu Chen nodded and answered before Lin Yijun could say anything, “We will pay up by today.”
When he said this, he took a glance at his unconscious daughter’s ghostly pale face. His heart ached so much at the sight of his daughter.
“Be quick. If we don’t receive the payment by noon, her medications will be taken off.” the nurse chuckled coldly as she looked at Lu Chen disdainfully.
After the nurse left, Wang Xue's voice rose as she reprimanded, “You useless thing! How could you make the promise that you could pay up by today? Do you want my daughter to go around and beg for money? How shameless can you be?!”
An idea crossed Lin Yijia’s mind in a blink of an eye. She told Lin Yijun, “Yijun, when we were on the way, I also gave your supervisor, Fan Ming, a call. I’m sure he’s on his way here now. With him here, we don’t have to worry about Qiqi’s medical fees!”
Right when Lin Yijun wanted to lecture Lin Yijia for her immaturity, she heard footsteps coming from her back.
The man that came was Fan Ming. Around thirty years of age, the way he was dressed made him look like a successful man. He was the director of Dong Jia Group’s sales department, also Lin Yijun’s supervisor.
As for why Lu Chen was so sure about this was no doubt because he also worked for Dong Jia Group.
It was just that Fan Ming was a director—one of the higher-ups—while he only worked as a security guard that guarded the entrance of the enterprise.
Lu Chen frowned when he saw Fan Ming.
Fan Ming ignored Lu Chen and greeted Wang Xue and Lin Yijia. His gaze turned gentle when he looked at Lin Yijun and consoled, “Yijun, Yijia had already told me what happened. My heart aches when I see Qiqi, such a lovely child, being tortured by her illness. Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?”
Lin Yijun mumbled, “I’m sorry, Director. This is my personal matter, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
“Don’t be like that. You’re my best subordinate and frankly, I think you’re the most suitable person to befriend personally. So, obviously, your problems are mine as well!” Fan Ming ‘lectured’. “I also heard from Yijia that you still need to pay for the medical fees. How much is it?”
“300,000!” Lin Yijia butted in.
Fan Ming delightfully smiled and told Lin Yijun, “Yijun, let me help you to pay it first. Just take it as if I lent you the money. It’s no big deal anyway.”
Fan Ming gave Lu Chen a side eye, his gaze hostile and full of disdain.
To him, Lu Chen was just some security guard at the company. How could he deserve someone as gorgeous as Lin Yijun.
That was right, he had been interested in Lin Yijun for a long time.
Lin Yijun was one of the most beautiful women in the company. How was it possible for the men in the company to not lust over her? For them to not fantasize about her?
Of course, Lin Yijun knew what Fan Ming’s intention was.
She really wanted to reject him. However, looking at her daughter in the ward, she didn’t have the courage to do so.
Lu Chen saw the heated gaze Fan Ming gave his wife. He clenched his fists and grunted, “We don’t need the 300,000 from you. I will come up with something.”
However, Lin Yijun by the side was enraged. Her eyes were bloodshot as she yelled at him, “Lu Chen, this is our daughter's life! Even if you don't appreciate her life, I do! We don’t have any money left anymore. Now that Director Fan has offered to lend me 300,000, why would you refuse his offer? Tell me, why?!”
Lu Chen clenched his fists even harder, his fingernails digging into his hands.
However, he couldn’t feel the pain.
Right then, the only thing he could feel was a strong sense of helplessness!
Fan Ming looked at Lin Yijun and Lu Chen with a mocking gaze. Suddenly, a thought came over him and he spoke up, “Yijun, if you guys really don’t need my help, I will be leaving then.”
“Director Fan…” Lin Yijun called out softly.
Fan Ming smiled at her and left the room. He was sure that Lu Chen and Lin Yijun couldn’t possibly have 300,000 with them. He looked confident, as if he had already defeated Lu Chen.
After Fan Ming left, he grinned wickedly when he found the nurse that was responsible for inserting the daily IV drips for Qiqi.
He bribed the nurse with 1000 and whispered, “Lu Qiqi’s parents have no money left. You can go urge them to settle the discharge procedures later on.”
Looking at the money he gave, the nurse smiled delightfully and nodded.

Chapter 2 — Do You Have Three Hundred Thousand?

As soon as Fan Ming left, Lin Yijun’s eyes grew dull and despair crossed her face. “Lu Chen, could your pride be more important to you than Qiqi’s life?”
Lu Chen was silent for a moment. He put the confectionery box he was holding down onto the table. “I’m going out to borrow money,” he answered in a low voice.
“You’re going to borrow money? Where are you going to get it? Right now, other than Director Fan, who else can lend us three hundred thousand?” Lin Yijun demanded resentfully.
“I have my own ways,” Lu Chen replied as he shook his head and walked out through the corridor. He’d launched businesses and failed, but over the years, he’d made some friends along the way.
“Lu Chen!” Lin Yijun‘s voice rang out from behind him. “Don’t make me hate you!”
Lu Chen shuddered and sped up his footsteps.
Lin Yijun watched Lu Chen’s figure disappear from sight. All the strength drained from her body and she slumped down, her heart so wretched that it felt like dying embers.
She regretted it!
Regretted her impulsiveness in the past, regretted marrying him!
Lin Yijun’s gaze suddenly fell upon the confectionery box sitting on the table and was slightly stunned.
Lu Chen walked out of the hospital and lit a cheap cigarette, drawing in a deep breath. He choked, his chest wracked with coughing.
His eyes turned red.
Money!
Money!
Everything was because of money!
Money wasn’t everything, but without it, it would cost him his daughter’s life!
Lu Chen found a place to sit down and made multiple calls in a row. But they hung up without fail each time they heard that he wanted to borrow money.
At the end, he sighed before pulling out his phone and dialing an unregistered number.
“It’s me,” Lu Chen announced coldly.
“Oh! It’s Little Master!” an old man exclaimed agitatedly over the phone. “Little Master, are you calling this number because you’ve thought it through and you’re going back with me?”
“My apologies. I can’t go back,” Lu Chen flatly refused. “Uncle Zhong, I’m calling you regarding a different matter. Can you lend me three hundred thousand privately? I need it urgently.”
“Little Master may not be aware, but everything under my name belongs to the Lu Family. Let alone three hundred thousand, you can take my decrepit life if you wish and I wouldn’t breathe a word of objection,” the old man chuckled over the phone. “But only on the grounds that you sign a contract of succession. You will only be able to receive the money after you sign it.”
“We’ll talk about signing the contract later. I really need the three hundred thousand urgently,” Lu Chen insisted. He didn’t want to be associated with the Lu Family in any way, but he had no choice—his daughter was already in such condition.
“No. The Master gave specific instructions that Little Master is only to use the family’s resources after signing the contract of succession.” The person on the other end of the line was adamant.
Lu Chen clenched his teeth. “There’s no room for negotiation?”
“I’m sorry, Little Master.”
Lu Chen took a deep breath and looked up at the blue sky, the hint of a self-deprecating sneer on his lips.
Was he finally going to give in?
Yes, for his daughter, he had to give in!
“Fine. I’ll sign it,” Lu Chen said. He felt a vaguely painful sensation on his cheeks. “Where are you now?”
“I’m at Jun Yue Tower. May I know where you are? Why don’t I send someone to pick you up?” the person at the other end of the line enquired.
“No need. I’ll head over right now.” Lu Chen hung up.
Between him, Lu Tianxing, and the Lu Family, flowed a river of blood.
He had thought that he would never cross that river.
But now that his daughter was seriously ill, and he had no one else to turn to, he’d chosen to lower his head and had actually taken the initiative in letting go of his hatred.
Life was so f*cking ironic!
Lu Chen spat the cigarette butt onto the ground, then turned and hailed a taxi, heading straight for Jun Yue Tower.
At Jun Yue Tower, Lu Chen had just stepped out of the car when he saw his mother-in-law, Wang Xue, exiting the building.
He instinctively wanted to avoid bumping into Wang Xue, but saw that she was already walking toward him.
“You said that you were going to borrow money. What are you doing here?” Wang Xue looked at Lu Chen with distaste. If it wasn’t for her daughter already having had a child, she would have told Lin Yijun to divorce this useless man.
Lu Chen saw that speaking to Wang Xue was unavoidable and could only respond with embarrassment. “I’m here to borrow money.”
“Lu Chen, Lu Chen. Can’t you see what kind of place this is? Even the red carpet before their doors is worth more than your life. Who are you to enter this place to borrow money? You think too highly of yourself!” Wang Xue sneered coldly.
Wang Xue was the assistant director of sales at Xia Kang Pharmaceuticals. Lately, they had been discussing a large business deal with Jun Yue Group; Wang Xue had rushed here straight from the hospital for it.
However, she hadn’t expected to be barred from entering the doors of Jun Yue Tower, and this made her furious.
Naturally, she wasn’t in a good mood after having had the door shut in her face. She took it out on Lu Chen since she just happened to bump into him.
“Trash, my sister has to work and take care of Qiqi while you’re out here having a good time in the name of borrowing money. And you call yourself a man?” Lu Chen’s sister-in-law, Lin Yijia, glared at him with disgust.
Only now did Lu Chen notice that Lin Yijia had been tailing behind Wang Xue with a young man beside her.
The young man was called Hu Hong; he was a college friend of Lin Yijia.
“Yijia, is this that useless brother-in-law of yours? Your sister has bad taste—he looks just like a migrant worker,” Hu Hong exclaimed as he looked Lu Chen up and down with a taunt in his eyes.
He’d once had the honor of having a conversation with the general manager of Jun Yue Group at a reception party.
When he’d heard that Wang Xue was working on a large business deal with them, he’d volunteered to accompany Wang Xue to pay a visit to the general manager in the hopes that it would help her close the deal.
But the general manager hadn’t bothered with him at all and he’d really lost face.
Now that he saw both Lin Yijia and her mother berating Lu Chen, he wanted to vent his anger on Lu Chen as well.
“Doesn’t he? I have no idea what went on in my sister’s head that she willingly married such trash. Most importantly, this useless man has no sense of responsibility,” Lin Yijia mocked.
“It’s alright if men don’t have money at times, but they must be responsible,” Hu Hong laughed.
Lu Chen glanced at them. Instead of saying anything, he turned and walked toward Jun Yue Tower.
“What are you going there for? Shouldn’t you hurry back to take care of Qiqi?” Wang Xue frowned and barked when she saw Lu Chen walking into the tower.
“I need to discuss something with Lu Zhong,” Lu Chen turned to reply.
“What? You’re looking for Tycoon Lu? Do you want to get kicked out like a dog?!” Incensed by his reply, Wang Xue reached out and grabbed hold of Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was just a security guard. When he got kicked out, it would be her—his mother-in-law’s—face which would be affected.
“Mum, let go. I really do have something to discuss with Lu Zhong,” Lu Chen’s brow furrowed at being held back by Wang Xue.
“Do you want to be a running joke?! Lu Zhong is the richest man in Chongqing, and you’re just a lowly security guard. What makes you think that you’ll be able to meet him?” Lin Yijia sneered.
“We can’t say that. Maybe your brother-in-law thinks that it’s possible since they both share the surname ‘Lu’. Perhaps, five hundred years ago, they were really from the same family,” Hu Hong exclaimed sarcastically.
Lu Chen was seething by this point. Did you eat dynamite today, or did all of you become premenopausal at the same time? he thought.
But he couldn’t get mad at Wang Xue; Lu Chen had no choice but to dig out his phone to make a call to Lu Zhong so that Lu Zhong would come down to meet him.
Just then, a sensuous, curvy lady clad in uniform walked toward them.
Catching sight of her, Wang Xue released Lu Chen and a curious look grew on her face.
“It’s Manager Lu’s personal secretary,” Lin Yijia wondered.
“Perhaps they’ve changed their stance and are here to ask us to discuss the deal. Aunt Xue, congratulations on your closing the deal soon!” Hu Hong cried out as his eyes lit up.
“Are they really here to bring us back to discuss it?” Wang Xue almost couldn’t believe it, but a glimmer of excitement shone on her face.
“That must be it. We’re the only ones around here, and we just spoke to them about it. They must be here for us,” Hu Hong nodded with certainty.
“We didn’t manage to close the deal with Manager Wang, but General Manager Lu’s personal secretary is bringing us back. It must be under the orders of General Manager Lu. Mum, looks like your huge business deal really will get closed!” Lin Yijia was thrilled. If they managed to close the sale, her mum would get more than twenty thousand!
It made sense to Wang Xue. General Manager Lu’s personal secretary was definitely here for them. She couldn’t be here for trash like Lu Chen after all.
At that thought, Wang Xue stepped forward with a smile.
“Hello, are you here to…”
Wang Xue hadn’t finished speaking when the smile froze on her face.
The beautiful secretary hadn’t spared her a glance and simply passed by her as she walked toward Lu Chen.
She bowed slightly toward Lu Chen and welcomed him sweetly. “Young Master Lu, please come with me.”
Lu Chen nodded. His gaze swept across Lin Yijia and Hu Hong’s faces before he followed the secretary into the building, leaving Wang Xue and the others frozen with looks of surprise and incredulity on their faces.
……
Lu Chen had a brief discussion with Lu Zhong. He still had misgivings about giving in and inheriting the family property.
But Lu Zhong was firm on not lending him the money or allowing him to make a call to Lu Tianxing unless he signed the contract.
Lu Chen sighed in defeat and put down his signature, then asked Lu Zhong to help him locate a compatible bone marrow donor for Qiqi. He also asked Lu Zhong for the three hundred thousand and proceeded to leave Jun Yue Tower with it.
As for how Lu Zhong would explain it to Lu Tianxing, he really didn’t care to know.
After all, he knew that Lu Tianxing wouldn’t call him as long as he didn’t call first.
Even if he’d agreed to succeed the family estate, he had no plans to forgive Lu Tianxing so quickly.
Back at the hospital, Lu Chen saw that Fan Ming had returned. Moreover, he was sitting next to Lin Yijun by the bedside, chatting with Lu Chen’s daughter who had woken up since he left.
Fan Ming sat very close by Lin Yijun and the two of them exchanged snippets every now and then.
Lu Chen’s eyes narrowed and he strode into the hospital room.

Chapter 3 — The Supervisor Wants To Fire You

Lu Chen had wanted to announce that he’d obtained the money; that he would never let Lin Yijun live a hard life again.
But before he could open his mouth, Lin Yijun looked at him coldly.
“Lu Chen, where did you go? The hospital sent someone to ask for their fees again. If Director Fan hadn’t helped to pay for it first, Qiqi would have been discharged from the hospital!” Lu Yijun was livid at the sight of Lu Chen.
Her gaze held disappointment.
Lu Chen had still walked out in a huff over that pitiful pride of his at a time like this, ignoring his own daughter. She must have been blind, to have fallen in love with a man like this.
“Mum, don’t say that about dad. I wanted to eat cake earlier. That’s why dad went out to buy some for me. It’s been hard for him too,” Qiqi coaxed, seeing that her parents were about to start another squabble.
Lu Chen had been a little ticked, but the anger in his eyes dissolved when he heard his daughter’s words. He squatted down and patted her fondly on the head as he smiled at her. “My dear Qiqi, it’s not hard for me. Dad will find a matching bone marrow for you in just a few days. Then our adorable little Qiqi will be able to recover and leave the hospital.”
“Dad, is that true?” Qiqi cried out happily.
“Yes. Dad would never lie to you,” Lu Chen nodded his head firmly.
“That’s great! I can finally leave the hospital. Mum, look. I told you that Dad could do it. I wasn’t lying,” Qiqi giggled joyfully as her eyes looked toward Lin Yijun.
Lin Yijun felt her daughter’s gaze and broke out into a smile.
But the look she threw at Lu Chen was full of animosity.
Their daughter’s condition was serious and the medical fees were impossibly high. With Lu Chen’s capabilities, how was it possible for him to bring about their daughter becoming healthy enough to be discharged from the hospital in just a few days?!
The way she saw it, Lu Chen was just giving empty promises!
She would see how he explained himself to their daughter when he wasn’t able to fulfill his promise!
“Yijun, don’t mind it. Perhaps Lu Chen just doesn’t want to disappoint Qiqi since he wasn’t able to borrow the money earlier.”
“Lu Chen, I’ve already paid Qiqi’s medical bills even if you didn’t manage to borrow any money. After all, she did call me uncle earlier.” Fan Ming smiled at Lu Chen coldly, not bothering to hide any of the contempt in his eyes.
At that, Lu Chen stood up slowly. A dangerous gleam appeared in his eyes when he looked toward Fan Ming.
Seeing the cold glare that Lu Chen directed at Fan Ming, Lin Yijun frowned and reproached him. “Lu Chen, what are you doing!? If Director Fan hadn’t paid the three hundred thousand for us, Qiqi and I would have been chased out of the hospital. Apologize to Director Fan now!”
“Why should I apologize to him?” Lu Chen snorted. “It’s just three hundred thousand, isn’t it? I have it.”
“You have three hundred thousand?” Fan Ming laughed, the mockery in his eyes almost overflowing.
Lu Chen was just a security guard, so Fan Ming didn’t believe that anyone would lend him so much money.
Lin Yijun’s face was icy-cold and the gaze she leveled at Lu Chen grew increasingly full of disgust.
Faced with Fan Ming’s barbs, Lu Chen sneered and simply opened the black briefcase he held. Stacks of red notes appeared before Fan Ming’s eyes.
“This is exactly three hundred thousand. Take it and get lost.” Lu Chen’s voice was icy; Fan Ming’s scheming was clear as day to him. Naturally, he held no smiles for the man.
Fan Ming stiffened, the expression on his face freezing as his eyes took in the briefcase full of money.
Fan Ming would never have imagined that Lu Chen, who was just a simple security guard, would be able to borrow three hundred thousand in the short amount of time that had passed since he’d left the hospital.
Who was so generous that they’d be willing to loan three hundred thousand to a security guard who only earned several thousand dollars each month!?
Lin Yijun was taken aback as well. Lu Chen’s salary each month was only several thousand. She found it hard to imagine where Lu Chen had borrowed the three hundred thousand.
“Where did you get the money? Did you get it from a loan shark?” Lin Yijun glared fiercely at Lu Chen after recovering from the initial shock.
Their situation was already so difficult now. If Lu Chen had borrowed any money from loan sharks, he would have destroyed their family.
Lu Chen ignored Lin Yijun and continued to stare coldly at Fan Ming. “Take the money and get lost!” he insisted.
Fan Ming didn’t leave immediately. His lip curled as he stared at Lu Chen. Honestly, three hundred thousand was nothing to him. The reason why he’d waited for Lu Chen to return, was to jibe at Lu Chen and let Lin Yijun see clearly how useless her husband really was.
But Lu Chen had somehow managed to borrow three hundred thousand. He was both surprised and somewhat dissatisfied.
But his eyes lit up at Lin Yijun’s words. This was an incredible opportunity to instigate Lin Yijun into divorcing Lu Chen.
“Lu Chen, you actually borrowed money from loan sharks? How are you going to pay them back? Don’t you know that it will ruin your family? That it will ruin Yijun?” Fan Ming shot an evil grin at Lu Chen.
“You’re so full of sh*t,” Lu Chen snapped as he grabbed Fan Ming’s collar and strode toward the exit, dragging Fan Ming with him.
“You… let go!” Fan Ming hollered, shocked. He hadn’t expected Lu Chen to be so strong.
Lin Yijun was stunned by Lu Chen’s behavior. But by the time she had recovered from the shock, Lu Chen had already dragged Fan Ming out of the room.
“If you come to the hospital again, I’ll make sure that you’re here to stay,” Lu Chen said brusquely, shoving Fan Ming onto the floor and chucking the briefcase into his lap.
“Lu Chen, you’re mad! Quickly apologize to Director Fan!” Lin Yijun hurried out of the room and glowered at Lu Chen.
Fan Ming picked himself off the ground and glared daggers at Lu Chen. “Lu Chen, you’ve got guts. I’ll see you at the company tomorrow,” he sniffed.
He picked up the briefcase and turned to leave. Lu Chen was just a simple security guard. In the company, there were a million ways he could make Lu Chen’s life miserable.
“Director Fan…” Lin Yijun wanted to chase after him to apologize for Lu Chen but stayed behind after some thought.
She turned to look at Lu Chen, her face frosty as she reproached him. “Lu Chen, how could you have been so rude? Director Fan did us a favor. Instead of thanking him, you treated him so disgracefully. Do you have any social sense at all?!”
Anger flickered in Lu Chen’s eyes as he spun to face Lin Yijun. “I’d already said not to let him help. You were the one who insisted on borrowing money from him. Don’t you have any idea of what he wants from you?”
Lin Yijun gave a start, then ranted at him. “Lu Chen, what do you mean by that? Do you think that I wanted to give him a chance? If we hadn’t paid the hospital fees earlier, they would have discharged Qiqi. If you’d been able to get the money sooner, would I have borrowed it from him? Don’t you know that I’m exhausted too?!”
Lin Yijun was enraged. If not for their daughter’s condition, if not for Lu Chen’s lack of capability, why would she borrow money from a man that she despised? Laugh and chit chat with him?
Lu Chen looked at Lin Yijun. “Keep Qiqi company for a while. I have some matters to take care of first.”
“What are you going to do? And was the money borrowed from loan sharks or not?” Lin Yijun questioned.
“No, it wasn’t. I borrowed it from a friend,” Lu Chen replied as he turned and walked away, not willing to explain more about it.
They’d been fighting so often lately; he was vexed.
He needed to be alone for a while.
He’d wanted to tell Lin Yijun the truth, but after seeing her attitude today, he was dispirited.
……
The next day, Lu Chen had gone to work with the intention of resigning from the post of security guard in order to take proper care of his daughter in the hospital. He believed that as long as Lu Zhong followed through, they’d be able to find a bone marrow match quickly.
Dong Jia Electronics was the largest electronics company in the city; it mainly produced intercom cameras for security doors.
When his startup had failed, Lu Chen had applied to become a sales representative here, along with Lin Yijun, but Fan Ming had said that he wasn’t persuasive and recommended him as a security guard instead.
Only later had he found out that Fan Ming hadn’t wanted him in the sales department because of his interest in Lin Yijun.
Dong Jia Tower stood ten floors tall and was manned by a total of 20 security guards. They were mainly responsible for patrolling the floors, manning the main door, directing cars to the parking spots, and several other miscellaneous duties.
“Lu Chen, how is your daughter?” The guard manning the main door greeted Lu Chen the moment he reached the office.
The guard was called Xu Jing, and he’d only been discharged from military service last year. Like Lu Chen, he was working as a security guard since he hadn’t been able to find a suitable job.
Xu Jing had been a wild young man. Especially since he’d just been discharged, he was rather hot-tempered. When Lu Chen had just started working here, they’d gotten into a disagreement and Xu Jing had thrown a punch at Lu Chen.
Though Lu Chen had never served in the military, he had learned mixed martial arts and practiced the Arts of Longevity since young. There really wasn’t a worthy opponent for him in the department.
After just a few moves, Xu Jing had been thrown onto the ground by Lu Chen, completely defeated.
From then on, Xu Jing had given Lu Chen his utmost respect, calling him Lu Chen respectfully at every chance.
“She’ll be fine when we find a bone marrow match and do the surgery,” Lu Chen said.
Xu Jing agreed noncommittally, then hesitated before lowering his voice. “Lu Chen, I saw Fan Ming meet with Supervisor Yu today. It seems that he wants you fired.”
