Chapter 295: Impatience Spoils Great Plans
The next morning, Ling Fan opened his bleary eyes and found his head nestled in a bundle of comfortable softness.
He even snuggled into it contentedly, waking Xiao Chubing who was lying on her side, and she immediately greeted him with annoyance, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Uh..." Ling Fan jolted awake, opening his eyes fully.
Seeing Xiao Chubing's sleeping position, he immediately said with shame, "You must not have slept well all night, I got a bit sentimental yesterday, I'm sorry!"
Xiao Chubing gave Ling Fan a look and said coquettishly, "Sorry for what? This is the real you. Last night, I truly realized that you really belong to me!
Otherwise, you're always so outstanding, almost unreachable like a god, it made me feel like you were getting farther and farther away from me, as if I might lose grip of you if I'm not careful!"
Ling Fan scratched his head and said with a grin, "Don't worry, I'm like a kite in your hand, no matter how far I run, I'll always come back to you!"
A wave of warmth surged in Xiao Chubing's heart, realizing that this guy's mouth must be smeared with honey. Without speaking, he's just fine, but once he opens his mouth, he can sweet talk someone to death without paying the price!
"Get up, I still have some things to deal with at my company!" Xiao Chubing got out of bed and began to get dressed.
"Right, what's still pending with your company's business? I'll handle it for you. If there's nothing urgent here, let's go back to Binzhou. I've already passed on the cultivation technique to Yun Fei and the others, and they've started cultivating!" Ling Fan mused.
He planned to discuss with Xiao Chubing about the serious matters later. If the company's affairs were not manageable, they could be handed over to trusted people, delegate authority gradually, and ultimately, the focus should be on cultivation.
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Chubing felt a sudden urgency.
"Tomorrow, then. I'll take care of some things today, and we'll go back tomorrow!" Xiao Chubing said, with her back to Ling Fan, as she got dressed.
Ling Fan nodded, "You give the instructions to Shu Ya and the others. You are coming with me to the Tianlong Business Association!"
After changing her clothes, Xiao Chubing pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll explain things to Shu Ya and the others!"
Ling Fan then took out his phone and called Peng Ming!
....
Meanwhile, Long Tianyu was lying in a hospital bed, although Ling Fan had beaten him into serious injury, it was all superficial damage and he would be fine after some time.
Yet at the moment, his heart was surging with excitement because Ling Fan, through Divine Sense transmission previously, had promised that he might have a chance to be legitimized in the future.
At this thought, he could hardly contain his excitement. Over the years, he had always been the negative example for educating the family's younger members at the Long Family. Whenever mentioning someone who was unsuccessful, they would compare them with him and Long Tianjun.
If one were to speak of who lived the most humbly and stifled life in the Long Family, it would be none other than Long Tianyu himself. The reason for his status in the family line was rooted in history!
He once heard from his mother that years ago, she had inadvertently recommended a marriage prospect to his elder uncle, only for an unfortunate mix-up to occur, as the girl already had someone she liked.
His mother had been unaware at first, and by the time she found out, it was too late—the elders of both families had already settled the matter without informing the girl involved!
Needless to say, the marriage proposal fell through and relations soured. The Long Family had never suffered such embarrassment, so naturally, all the blame was shifted onto his mother, the matchmaker.
Therefore, ever since Long Tianyu could remember, led by Long Tianjun, a group of family youths would always bully him, and he had to keep ingratiating them like a dog in order to live a slightly better life!
With this in mind, Long Tianyu's heart was filled with grievances.
If it hadn't been for the need to ingratiate himself with Long Tianjun, how could he possibly have provoked Ling Fan and ended up lying in a hospital bed now?
However, due to a blessing in disguise, who could have imagined that Ling Fan, being a ruthlessly determined person, would offend Long Tianyu, who had thought his good days were coming to an end.
If he hadn't seen Ye Zijin kneeling down and bowing his head with his own eyes, he would have never harbored hope, but he did see it!
That's why he decided to take a gamble, seeing as he was already holding a bad hand anyway. If he won the bet, his life would be turned around because of it.
Long Tianyu took a deep breath to calm his excitement and immediately took out his phone, planning to report to Long Tianjun.
A day and a night had already passed; it was always necessary to give an account, wasn't it? He had already thought through his wording!

He immediately called Long Tianjun, "Hello, big brother!"
"Mm, how's it going, is the matter taken care of?" Long Tianjun's calm and undisturbed voice came from the other end.
"Hehe, big brother, listen to me, that... the thing has been messed up..." Long Tianyu cautiously said.
Before he could finish, he heard an angry scolding from Long Tianjun on the phone, "Messed up? Are you a shit-eater? You've been a loser from childhood, not even capable of handling such a small matter!
How did the Long Family raise such a fool? You're wasting the Long Family's food just by eating, it would be better to raise a dog that can bite!"
"Yes, yes, you're right, big brother, I'm just a dog, no, I'm not even as good as a dog, listen to my explanation!" Long Tianyu held the phone, his tone groveling.
"I'm listening, spit it out if you have something to say! Waste of space!" An impatient voice of annoyance came from the other end of the phone.
Long Tianyu's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty resentment as he thought bitterly, "Bastard, just you wait, let's see who has the last laugh, let you be smug for now!"
But with a smile on his face, he said, "Big brother, it's like this, I ran into Ling Fan, that guy who challenged you!"
"Hmm?" Long Tianjun's eyebrows furrowed instantly on the other end of the phone.
Remembering the high-level expert from Dragon Gate sent to trouble Ling Fan who hadn't returned, he took a deep breath to calm his emotions and said indifferently, "I see, it appears that you're somewhat better than a dog after all; it seems I wronged you!"
Long Tianyu's face turned unsightly, and with ferocity in his eyes, he thought resentfully, "Damn it, so in your eyes, I'm just a little better than a dog, motherfucker, just you all wait!"
"By the way, where is that kid now? Is he still in Central Sea?" Long Tianjun asked.
"Uh... I was injured by him, in the hospital, not very clear, he probably left!" Long Tianyu said anxiously.
"Damn it, I just commended you for being a bit better than a dog, you waste, you can't even get this bit of information straight. Just stay honest in the hospital and nurse your dog's life!
Don't fucking die on me, otherwise, the old man will blame me for not taking good care of this dog!" After saying that, the other end hung up the call with an impatient 'snap'.
Listening to the dial tone in the phone, Long Tianyu took a deep breath to settle his emotions.
When there was no hope before, he resigned himself to being humiliated and could only automatically filter out the negative emotions produced by the humiliation.
But now that he had hope, he strongly wanted to fight back.
"One must endure small hardships for the sake of a greater strategy, Long Tianjun, we'll see!" Long Tianyu muttered to himself through gritted teeth.
Immediately after, he hurriedly called Ling Fan; he had to notify him about the situation on this end.
