Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 93 - 92: Marrying Chuxue to You!
Chapter 93: Chapter 92: Marrying Chuxue to You!
After leaving the Moo Family, Li Chen went straight home.
When Ye Chuxue saw him return, she pouted and grumbled.
"Humph, you went out and partied all night again, and yet you still know your way home?"
Li Chen looked Ye Chuxue up and down and asked, "Yes, Xue’er, you’re dressed so beautifully, what are you planning to do?"
While talking, he noticed a red, gold-embossed wedding invitation on the coffee table and casually asked, "Who’s getting married?"
Ye Chuxue said, "My cousin, Yans Ning!"
"You should hurry and change, we need to head to the Four Seasons Hotel for the wedding soon!"
Li Chen asked, "Can we not go?"
Ye Chuxue glared at him with wide eyes: "No way!"
"Hurry and change, or do you want me to kick you?"
While saying that, she deliberately showed off her long legs, posing as if she was about to kick someone.
Seeing Ye Chuxue in such a comical stance, Li Chen burst out laughing.
"Ouch, with those short legs of yours, you want to kick me?"
Ye Chuxue grunted angrily and raised her leg to kick towards Li Chen.
However, just as her long leg was lifted, Li Chen casually caught her ankle.
"Li Chen, you jerk, put me down right now!"
Li Chen stared at Ye Chuxue’s snowy white ankle for a while and smiled slightly, "Xue’er, the world is so beautiful, yet you’re so hot-tempered. Be careful, or you might end up not being able to marry!"
Ye Chuxue pouted, "Humph, mind your own business!"
"Hurry and put me down, you’re hurting me!"
Seeing Ye Chuxue about to explode, Li Chen quickly let go of her.
Ye Chuxue gave Li Chen a big roll of her eyes and sat on the sofa, gently rubbing her slightly reddened ankle.
"Jerk, you have no compassion at all!"
Li Chen sat down in front of Ye Chuxue and asked softly, "Xue’er, are you angry?"
"Don’t talk to me, I don’t want to deal with you!"
As she spoke, Ye Chuxue turned her little head towards the window, refusing to look at Li Chen.
Li Chen said, "Xue’er, let me take that back. You’re so pretty, fair-skinned, good figure, elegant and dignified. I bet the line of suitors would span two streets!"
Hearing Li Chen’s compliments, a smug smile appeared on Ye Chuxue’s lips.
"Humph, glad you know it!"
Seeing Ye Chuxue smile, Li Chen added, "Good that you believe it, because it’s not easy for me to lie!"
Ye Chuxue grabbed a pillow and threw it at Li Chen.
"Li Chen, you jerk. If I talk to you again, I won’t carry the Ye surname!"
Li Chen said, "Then what would your surname be, will you take on the surname Li with me?"
Ye Chuxue rolled her eyes, snapping, "Get lost, dream on!"
As they laughed, Li Chen went back to his room to change.
"Xue’er, let’s go, we need to attend your cousin’s wedding!"
Ye Chuxue didn’t reply and turned to leave the house.
Seeing Ye Chuxue ignoring him, Li Chen quickly followed.
"Xue’er, you’re so smart, let me ask you a question!"
Ye Chuxue still didn’t speak, but a hint of interest flashed in her clear, bright eyes.
Li Chen asked, "The one who feeds horses is called a coachman, the one who stokes the fire is a cook; if I learn accounting, what should I be called?"
Ye Chuxue answered, "Silly, of course, you should be called ’husband’!"
Li Chen: "Oh!"
Only then did Ye Chuxue realize the trick, her eyebrows shooting up.
"Nice one, Li Chen, you actually tricked me!"
"Not really, you called it so affectionately, I could only reluctantly agree!"
"Pah, you still say!"
As they talked, Ye Chuxue swung her fists, chasing after Li Chen to hit him.
At the entrance of the residential area, Ye Chuxue’s dad, Ye Yuancheng, saw his precious daughter getting along so warmly with Li Chen, and his expression immediately darkened.
"Chuxue, what are you doing? As a girl, being so brash and rash, what kind of propriety is this?"
Ye Chuxue felt a bit guilty and, while her dad wasn’t paying attention, turned around and waved her fists at Li Chen a couple of times, meaning to say: Today’s matter isn’t over yet, you just wait!
Seeing the adorable and silly manner of Ye Chuxue, Li Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
This scene was all caught in Ye Yuancheng’s eyes.
Strange, wasn’t Chuxue always very hateful towards this boy? Since when did they become so close?
Ye Yuancheng didn’t like Li Chen; he only took him in initially out of pity.
Moreover, over these five years, he saw that Li Chen had always been unambitious, quiet, clumsy like a block of wood, and always the last in his grades, which embarrassed him immensely.
If it wasn’t for his wife always defending him, he probably would have already found an excuse to kick Li Chen out.
Unexpectedly, not only is Li Chen ungrateful, but he is also aiming for his precious daughter like a toad lusting after swan meat.
It seems that driving this boy out of the house is now imperative.
With this thought, Ye Yuancheng put on a kind smile, waved at Li Chen, and gestured for him to come to the passenger seat.
"Li Chen, the scores for the last monthly test came out, right? How much did you score?"
"50 points, second to last in the whole grade!"
Li Chen replied nonchalantly, without a hint of shame.
Ye Yuancheng frowned and said, "Only 50 points? Li Chen, your scores are too poor, not to mention university, you couldn’t even get into a community college."
Li Chen casually responded: "Oh, I know!"
Ye Yuancheng scolded with a stern face: "You know, and yet you don’t study properly?"
"If you can’t get into a university, how will you find a good job in the future? By then, let alone marrying and having children, even supporting yourself would be a problem!"
Hearing Ye Yuancheng’s scolding, Li Chen did not respond, only sneering in his heart.
Hehe, I, the reborn Immortal Emperor, need the college entrance exam to change my fate? Ridiculous.
Seeing Li Chen showing no signs of repentance, Ye Yuancheng frowned and said, "Li Chen, you can’t even get into a decent university with these scores, it’s better not to waste time and effort."
"My company is hiring; go there and intern. Once you’re regularized, making three to five thousand a month won’t be a problem."
Ye Chuxue saw that her father wanted Li Chen to drop out and immediately became anxious.
"Dad, what are you talking about? The college entrance exam is almost here, how can Li Chen drop out now?"
Seeing his daughter defending Li Chen to such an extent fueled his anger. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"Chuxue, I’m doing this for his own good. Out of a perfect score of 750, how much did he score? Even if we pay for a no-name university, there won’t be much future. It’s better to start getting real-world experience early!"
Li Chen coldly said: "Uncle Ye, we still have more than half a year until the college entrance exam. Aren’t you speaking too soon?"
Ye Yuancheng, seeing Li Chen talk back, disdainfully said: "More than half a year left, so what? I’m not unaware of your grades. Since you’ve been at our house for five years, weren’t you always in the bottom ten of the class?"
Li Chen sneered: "Uncle Ye, people can change. As the old saying goes: ’Judge not a man by his past.’ Don’t always look at me with your past views!"
Taken aback by these words, Ye Yuancheng looked at Li Chen in surprise.
"So, which university do you think you can get into?"
Li Chen thought for a moment and said, "Doesn’t Chuxue always want to go to Jiangnan University? I want to go there too!"
Hearing this, Ye Yuancheng felt like he was listening to a very funny joke.
"Li Chen, are you joking? Jiangnan University is among the top three national universities, only below Tsinghua and Peking University, and you with those grades, you think you can go there?"
Li Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "What’s the big deal about being among the top three national universities? If I wish, Harvard and Cambridge are just small matters for me!"
Ye Yuancheng sighed deeply, originally thinking that although Li Chen wasn’t very ambitious, at least he was steady in his actions. But unexpectedly, he was talking big without any substance.
At that moment, he felt utterly disappointed in him.
Seeing through Ye Yuancheng’s thoughts, Li Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, "What, Uncle Ye, you don’t believe me?"
Ye Yuancheng shrugged, displaying an expression that said "Whoever believes you is a fool."
Li Chen said, "How about this, Uncle Ye, let’s make a bet!"
Ye Yuancheng, already tired of pretending, responded.
"Alright, if you can’t get into Jiangnan University, then please stay away from Chuxue. Don’t drag her down with your lack of ambition!"
Ye Chuxue became agitated: "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Li Chen nodded confidently: "Okay, I accept. Uncle Ye, but what if I do get in?"
In a rush, Ye Yuancheng said, "Then I’ll follow your aunt’s wishes and marry Chuxue off to you!"
Blushing, Ye Chuxue fiercely stomped her foot and chided loudly; "Dad, what are you talking about?"
