The Reversal of a Son-in-law-Chapter 23 Martial Arts Virtue
"Any request? Are you serious?"
Long Chen observed Gu Xiao.
That woman indeed had a good figure and a beautiful appearance.
Gu Xiao was stunned. Then she quickly said, "Of course. But I will not agree to any weird request." 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚
"It seems you're still not confident enough," Long Chen smiled.
"Who says I don't have confidence? Alright then. You can have anything you want as long as you can defeat me," Gu Xiao said through gritted teeth.
She couldn't admit defeat now. Gu Xiao had been practicing martial arts since she was young and hadn't stopped for a single day. She had the confidence to defeat a pretty boy like Long Chen.
"Then let's start," Long Chen said.
"How can we compete in the car? We have to find a spacious place. Brother Zhang, go..."
"There is no need for that," Long Chen interrupted Gu Xiao, "let's fight in the car. You can attack me. If you can hit my face, you win."
"Heh. I'm afraid the space is small, and I might accidentally kill you here," Gu Xiao sneered.
"If you can kill me, you are a real master."
"Well. I'll not restrain myself then."
Gu Xiao suddenly attacked him. That was a sneak attack.
However, Long Chen's reaction speed was far beyond Gu Xiao's imagination.
To Long Chen, Gu Xiao's attack speed was slow.
He lifted his hand and grabbed Gu Xiao's wrist in an instant.
Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment. Then, she quickly lifted her other hand and tried to attack.
But, Long Chen exerted a little strength and pulled Gu Xiao into his arms, holding her tightly with ease.
Gu Xiao's face flushed red with anger, and she tried to hit Long Chen with her head.
Long Chen's body tilted slightly, and Gu Xiao slammed into the seat with all his might.
Gu Xiao gasped and felt dizzy.
"Stop struggling. I told you, you're no match for me," Long Chen said with a smile.
"Bastard, I won't lose to you."
Gu Xiao suddenly lifted her knee and attacked Long Chen's lower body.
Long Chen's brows furrowed. He felt Gu Xiao was a little ruthless.
He quickly pulled Gu Xiao's hand and made her turn around, defusing Gu Xiao's attack.
Gu Xiao cried out in surprise and sat in Long Chen's arms again in an unsightly posture.
Feeling Gu Xiao's excellent curves, Long Chen's heart began to race.
Gu Xiao was so angry that she wanted to kill Long Chen. She had never lost so much in a fight before.
"Let go of me," Gu Xiao shouted.
"Do you admit defeat then?" Long Chen asked.
"I... I didn't lose. You're the one who cheated."
Gu Xiao gritted her teeth.
"Oh, then you should think of a way to break free. If you can break free, you win," Long Chen said indifferently.
"I'm going to kill you. "
Gu Xiao struggled with all her might, wriggling in Long Chen's arms.
The driver in front was expressionless as he silently pressed a switch.
Suddenly, a piece of cloth fell slowly between the front and back seats, blocking the front and back view.
Long Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw the driver's little gesture.
"Gu Xiao, stop struggling. Look! Even your driver has misunderstood and thinks that we're flirting," Long Chen said with a smile.
Gu Xiao turned around and glanced at it. When she saw the cloth in the middle, her face blushed, "Long Chen, you're not a man."
"You're the one who wanted to compete with me, so how can you blame me for this? Why am I not a man?"
Long Chen felt helpless.
"You're bullying a woman. You are so annoying. Also, what are you doing? Something is poking my back from behind."
Gu Xiao reached out her hand and grabbed it casually.
In an instant, Long Chen's eyes widened.
Gu Xiao also reacted immediately. She screamed but did not let go.
"Hiss, be careful. Gu Xiao, have some martial arts virtue and stop sneak attacking me," Long Chen hastily reminded.
"What's wrong with that? I am going to make you feel the pain."
Anger had overpowered Gu Xiao.
"Miss Gu Xiao, I'm an important guest invited by your grandfather. If something happens to me on the way there, no one can cure your grandfather's illness. If he is still ill, he might die end of this year."
Long Chen warned.
"Miss, please think twice before you do that," The driver, Xiao Zhang, also reminded Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao clenched her teeth and glared at Long Chen. Holding back her embarrassment, she asked loudly, "Then tell me who won."
"I've lost. You've won," Long Chen said without hesitation.
"This is more like it."
Gu Xiao let go of Long Chen and returned to her seat.
Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't expect the girl would grab onto his most important part as a man.
For the rest of the journey, Gu Xiao did not say anything about not trusting Long Chen. She did not even want to talk to Long Chen anymore.
Long Chen was happy with the quiet environment. He secretly felt that he should find some proper martial arts techniques to learn. With the mysterious energy in his body, he should be able to exert a strong power.
At the very least, if he were to encounter a situation like Gu Xiao's again, he would be able to suppress her and give her no chance to do anything to him.
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the Gu family's residence.
The Gu family's residence was a well-known and run-down place in Seven Star City. It had been around for sixty years, and the government had demolished the area twice. But no one dared to touch the Gu residence.
Gu Xiao brought Long Chen to the living room when they entered the Gu family's residence.
A sumptuous breakfast was already on the dining table in the living room.
"Dr. Long, please take a seat. I wanted to pick you up. But I feel so weak and dizzy today. So I asked my granddaughter, Gu Xiao, to pick you up. She didn't treat you rudely on the way, did she?"
Gu Changming stood up to welcome Long Chen and pulled out the chair for him.
"No," Long Chen said with a smile.
"That's good. Dr. Long, please have a seat," Gu Changming said with a smile.
The driver, Xiao Zhang, suddenly said, "Old Master, Miss Gu had a fight with Mr. Long in the car."
Everyone froze.
After a long while, Gu Changming glared at Gu Xiao and asked seriously, "What happened?"
"Grandpa, I was just worried that he was a scammer, so I tried to test him. I, I didn't mean anything else."
Gu Xiao explained hurriedly. She was scared because she had never seen her grandfather so stern before.
"I've spoiled you," Gu Changming looked unhappy. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎
As Gu Changming spoke, he lifted his hand and was about to hit Gu Xiao.
Long Chen hurriedly grabbed Gu Changming's hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Gu, Gu Xiao was testing me because she was worried about your safety. Her filial piety is commendable, so please forgive her this time."
"Besides, I like Gu Xiao's character. She is pretty. It won't look good if you slap her face and make it swell."
"Uh... Alright then. I'll forgive her this time because you say so, Dr. Long," Gu Changming said.
Then, Gu Changming glared at Gu Xiao and said, "Go and invite old Mr. Xiao over for breakfast."
"Okay."
Gu Xiao lowered her head dejectedly.
"Hahaha. You don't have to call me. I am already here."
An elder in a gray robe strode in and spoke with a strong voice.
"Mr. Xiao, let me introduce someone to you. This young man is Long Chen, Dr. Long."
"Dr. Long, this is old Mr. Xiao Xingtian. He came from the Imperial City, and his attainments in all aspects are far above mine."
Gu Changming introduced them with a smile.
"You are flattering me again. I... Huh?"
Xiao Xingtian's gaze inadvertently fell on Long Chen's face as he spoke. He froze and looked at Long Chen in disbelief.
