Chapter 99 Today Is a Day to Celebrate
When Li Yong says what he wants, Hu agrees without hesitation.
However, he has one condition. He wants to learn kung fu from Li Yong. He wants to be stronger.
“Why?” Li Yong utters his suspicion. Someone wants to get rich, someone wants to marry a beautiful woman, someone wants to keep a mistress, and someone wants to contact aliens.
Everyone has his own ideal and desire. Why does Hu want to study kung fu?
For the first time Hu tells what’s in his mind to others. The reason why he joined the Tianhu Gang was to learn some kung fu from fighters in the gang. He wants to enhance his own strength and avenge his father.
Hu’s father is a martial arts master. He was assassinated while looking for Hu’s mother with Hu.
At that time, Hu was still young. If he had not been hidden by his father, he would have been killed, too.
Hu, who had escaped death, wandered in the street and sustained his life by picking up the rotten vegetables and rubbish. Later, he gradually grew up and became a gangster with others. After a long period of time, he joined the Tianhu Gang. After hard work, he became a small leader.
Though Hu does not know who killed his dad, he never forgets his hatred. Whenever he has the chance, he will look for good teachers and learn from them, and if he has the time, he will practice kung fu. He has had many teachers and been instructed by some great masters. But now Hu’s martial arts techniques are very chaotic. The reason why he can use them in a coherent way is because he has tried and explored a lot.
After all these years of hard work, Hu can beat three or five bodyguards easily.
After listening to the story of Hu, Li Yong opens his clairvoyant vision, and then accidentally discovers that the meridians inside Hu begin to take shape. This is the symbol of the four-stage warrior. If Hu continues to practice, he will have meridians in the future.
This is a man of potential and perseverance. Special persons can be found in every era. If Hu gains the internal strength after cultivating, he will be considered the special one in the new era.
Li Yong decides to help him.
So he nods and says with a smile, “OK, I’ll teach you.”
“Thank you, Master.” Hu is very excited. It is his dream to study kung fu with someone strong.
“Don’t call me Master. You may still call me Yong!” Li Yong smiles calmly. He always feels that the word “Master” is feudal while “Yong” has a hint of the new era.
“Yes, Yong.” Hu agrees at once.
Li Yong thinks for a moment and says, “Go and take care of your business. Come back three days later. As for your brothers, you may bring those who are willing to follow you here.”
“Alright.” Hu leaves in excitement.
Then Li Yong goes into the kitchen to eat, and then bathes and changes clothes. After cleaning up, he returns to his room to begin his cultivation.
Li Yong has been cultivating for another three days. His internal strength not only fully recovers, but also improves.
He feels his body and finds himself not only more refreshed but more powerful than ever. The fourth level of Reviving Method has been mastered by him. It seems that he nearly completes it.
Walking out of the room, Li Yong eats first, and then he bathes, changes clothes and tidies himself up. In the whole process, he is in a good mood and light-hearted manner, as if something good happened to him.
At ten o’clock in the morning, he walks to Han Lu, who sits in the living room watching TV, and says with a smile, “Honey, I can heal you today.”
After ignoring each other for five or six days, Li Yong seems to have forgotten their previous unpleasantness and Han Lu also seems to have changed her mind about Li Yong. She looks up at Li Yong and puts the TV in mute mode.
She seems to want to speak, but in the end she doesn’t say a word, but just gets up and walks upstairs.
Li Yong follows her and shows an involuntary smile at her graceful figure.
When he goes into Han Lu’s room, Han Lu is already in bed. She lies with hands placed on each side of her buttock, legs cramped together. Her posture looks elegant and beautiful.
Li Yong doesn’t have time to appreciate her posture, because through his clairvoyant vision, he finds that the only little toxin in Han Lu’s chest has shown signs of spreading. So he hastily takes the silver needle out and begins a quick and focused treatment.
Ten minutes later, Li Yong puts away the silver needle. He is breathing heavily and his forehead is covered with sweat.
Li Yong finally cleans up the last portion of Han Lu’s toxins. His work finally comes to a successful end. Li Yong straightens up and says with a smile, “Honey, cheer up, it’s a day to celebrate.”
“Yong.” At last she speaks, and her voice sounds sweet. She suddenly seizes Li Yong’s hand and becomes gentle. Her beautiful eyes twinkle and she says softly, “Thank you.”
“We’re a family now. Why are you being so polite? Why don’t we make love today so you can have a chubby baby earlier?” Li Yong says smilingly. Holding hands with Han Lu really makes him sense a feeling of happiness.
Have a chubby baby? Han Lu struggles to suppress her boredom.
“No, you and I are not a family.” Han Lu suddenly becomes indifferent.
“What?” Li Yong is very surprised and bewildered. They’ve been living together for so long. Why can’t they be a family? Although he hasn’t kissed her yet, Li Yong has had a little family love for her after such a long time.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Han Lu hesitates and then says softly, “Yong, you should understand that the reason why my father, my mother, and my grandfather let me marry you, let you stay in my house, and create conditions for us is because you can cure me of my illness.”
“I see. I’ve finally cured you today. They don’t have to worry about you anymore.” Li Yong laughs.
“Yes, they won’t worry about me anymore. They won’t be afraid of you refusing to give me treatment. They won’t force me to marry you again.” With that, Han Lu pauses and frowns thoughtfully.
Li Yong believes that there are some hidden meanings in her words, so he just listens quietly. Unexpectedly, Han Lu’s family has worried about so many things, in fact Li Yong never thought of refusing to cure Han Lu. Even when the relationship between them was at its worst, he still wanted to cure Han Lu as soon as possible.
“I have my dream and pursuit, so I don’t want to get married and have kids so early. I don’t want to marry you now.” Han Lu seems to summon up a lot of courage to say these words.
“Yong, please don’t force me, OK?” In the end, she shakes Li Yong’s hand and seems to plead with him for permission. But her bright eyes are full of constancy.
She has been thinking about many things during these days, and finally she tells her thoughts to Li Yong.
She is afraid that her utterance might hurt Li Yong’s feeling and he will strongly oppose, so she says euphemistically and does not let go of Li Yong’s hand, aiming to stabilize his mood.
At this point, Li Yong only notices her smooth and gentle hand. Having a beautiful woman around, Li Yong finds his life enjoyable and carefree. He doesn’t notice the coldness in Han Lu’s voice.
“Did I force you? I don’t think I ever did!”
Li Yong has been smiling since Han Lu started to speak, and when Han Lu finishes, he asks, “What is your dream? And what do you pursue?”
“I’m going to have Han’s Group products sold all over the country and around the world,” Han Lu speaks ambitiously, “I want to create a production base, from the planting of medicinal materials to the sale of products are done in it. I’m going to make Han’s Group develop, and I shall focus on my work. I can’t fall in love or have time to have babies.”
Han Lu fully expounds her point of view, aiming to express her determination. She watches Li Yong’s expression, hoping that Li Yong could show a sad and painful look.
“A person’s energy is limited. If we two work together, we will have more power. With my help, you may be able to realize your dream and desire more quickly.” Li Yong says with a calm smile. He always feels that women should not have too much ambition, especially a beautiful woman like Han Lu. She only needs to wait for the man to take care of her. Why does she work so hard?
“Well, who wants to be your wife and cooperate with you? Aren’t you going to divorce me? Aren’t you marrying Fei?” Han Lu’s face suddenly changes. She suddenly lets go of her hand which is holding Li Yong tightly.
Seeing Li Yong’s calm performance, she thinks that she has no place in Li Yong’s heart.
In her view, if Li Yong really loves her, he should do his best to plead. She was ready to be pestered by Li Yong just now. Now, what does he mean by remaining so calm?
A woman can change her face faster than flip a book. Li Yong scratches his head and remembers the words he said a few days before. He was angry at the time, so he said something different from what he was thinking. Unexpectedly, these words are clearly remembered by Han Lu.
Li Yong smiles awkwardly and says, “Honey, I do think so, but my mother-in-law disagrees!”
“You...” Han Lu regrets talking to Li Yong today. Had she known that Li Yong was such a person, she would have remained silent and would never have paid any attention to him.
Han Lu has been on the phone with Sun Xiaomei for several days, and Sun Xiaomei also told her about such things. Han Lu was so angry that she wanted to break into Li Yong’s room and tear Li Yong apart.
In the end, however, she just bore it. She found she seemed to like Li Yong a little bit too, otherwise how could she be so angry? In this world, isn’t the person you care more likely to provoke you?
On the phone, Sun Xiaomei also advised Han Lu to be nice to Li Yong, lest Li Yong go after Han Fei again.
Sun Xiaomei said these after she had changed her attitude toward Li Yong, because the video that Li Yong sent to Han Fei did help her and gave the case of Fei’s company some hope of a win.
However, Sun Xiaomei didn’t know how bitter Han Lu would feel after hearing it.
“You what? You can call your mother if you don’t believe me.” Li Yong says in an assured way.
Of course Han Lu won’t call. She can know the result without calling. Han Lu gets up in anger and walks out. Although her room is large, she feels suffocated and wants to get some fresh air.
“Honey, Mom and Dad will come over later to celebrate. If you want to save on phone bills, you may ask them in person. If you’re too shy to ask, I’ll help you.” looking at her back, Li Yong says.
