Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 414 - 411: Fortunate If I Obtain It, Fated If I Lose It! [Midnight]

Chapter 414: Chapter 411: Fortunate If I Obtain It, Fated If I Lose It! [Midnight]

Zhao Huanhuan has never really liked Li Chen, and now she confronts him with anger in her eyes.

"Li Chen, have you no shame? Feifei went all the way to the UK to avoid you, and yet you’re still harassing her?"

"Dear Sister Huanhuan, it’s not what you think, it’s Li Chen..."

Lin Xuanfei, seeing Zhao Huanhuan round on Li Chen with a barrage of scolding, quickly stepped forward to intervene.

Zhao Huanhuan extended her finger and poked Lin Xuanfei’s forehead hard, saying, "Xuanfei, don’t speak up for him. He’s just trying to climb up the social ladder through your family, while pretending to be above it all. He’s such a hypocrite!"

When she said the word "hypocrite," she deliberately put on a smug look, as if she had seen through it all, and glared hard at Li Chen.

Lin Xuanfei’s eyes widened as she feigned anger and said, "Sister Huanhuan, don’t you talk about Brother Li Chen that way!"

Zhao Huanhuan didn’t expect her longtime playmate and good friend to show her an angry face for the sake of some man, which made her feel indignant and hard to swallow.

"Lin Xuanfei, don’t be ungrateful. I’m only doing this for your own good. You’re the young lady of the Lin Family, born into a family of scholars. And him? He’s just a nobody from a poor family!"

"Xuanfei, you were born with a silver spoon, brought up with luxury and the finest education in Jiangnan and even the entire country. While you were playing the piano and dancing ballet, he might have still been peeing in the mud. When you were traveling the world, he might have been toiling in the fields helping his parents..."

"Your lives have been different, so has your education. If you keep being so stubborn, you’re only going to hurt yourself in the end!"

Lin Xuanfei didn’t expect her best friend’s reaction to be so intense.

She gathered her thoughts for a moment and said with a firm tone, "To win him would be my luck; to lose, my fate. I’ll not regret the path I’ve chosen, even if it leaves me bruised all over!"[Note 1]

"Sister Huanhuan, you and he are not from the same world. Please, don’t talk about him like that again, okay?"

Zhao Huanhuan, seeing Lin Xuanfei being so unwavering, felt like she was about to explode in exasperation.

"Fine, Lin Xuanfei, I’ll stay out of your business from now on!"

After saying that, she got into Bai Qianshui’s supercar and slammed the car door shut with a "bang."

Bai Qianshui glowered furiously at Li Chen and said, "Li Chen, you’re not from the same world as Xuanfei, or us. Tell me, how much money do you want to leave Xuanfei?"

"Three million, is that enough?"

Li Chen just smirked, saying nothing.

Bai Qianshui then put out five fingers, saying, "Add another two hundred million, five million total, is that enough?"

Having said that, he took out a bank card and waved it in front of Li Chen.

"Just leave Xuanfei alone, and assure you won’t bother her again, and the five million is yours!"

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your name is Bai Qianshui, right? I’m in a good mood today and don’t want to get into a fight. Better drive away quickly, lest you regret it!"

Bai Qianshui, seeing Li Chen unmoved by five million, was taken aback.

"Li Chen, think it over. There’s five million in this card; you might not make that in a lifetime of hard work!"

Li Chen shook his head, coldly saying, "My patience is limited, don’t test it!"

Bai Qianshui knew Li Chen was a formidable martial artist, not even Duan Tong could match him. If he really provoked him, it would be Bai Qianshui himself who would pay the price.

With this in mind, he gritted his teeth hard and swallowed all the fierce words he was about to say.

"Fine, let’s just wait and see who gets the last laugh!"

Zhao Huanhuan, seeing Li Chen, a young man from a poor family, acting so arrogantly, felt her anger reigniting in an instant.

"Li Chen, tell me, what makes you think you’re so high and mighty? Can you afford to buy Xuanfei a luxury villa or a supercar like this?"

"Hmph, don’t even mention affording. He’s probably never even been in such a luxury sports car in his life!"

Bai Qianshui seemed very proud of his newly purchased Ferrari supercar and took the opportunity to take a dig at Li Chen.

But just as they were basking in their triumph, a procession of ultra-luxurious cars came thundering down the road.

We’re talking Porsches, Maseratis, Bentleys, Bugatti Veyrons—all of them. Bai Qianshui’s Ferrari paled in comparison. Doesn’t it?

When Bai Qianshui saw the lead car, his eyes widened in shock, his face a picture of disbelief.

"Is that the billion-yuan, limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom?"

Zhao Huanhuan gaped in amazement, asking incredulously, "Such a lavish pickup convoy, who’s this big shot coming to our Donghua?"

The Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up steadily in front of Li Chen, followed by the rest of the cars, which came to a halt.

Over a hundred esteemed figures emerged, greeting Li Chen with respect under Du Meng’s lead.

"Welcome home, young master!"

Li Chen hadn’t expected Du Meng to arrange such a grand welcome for his pickup.

He had merely asked for a ride from the airport. Although his speed is no less than that of a supercar, this is Huaxia, and it’s better to keep things low profile.

But now, there was no chance of staying under the radar.

Li Chen nodded slightly, his tone tinged with reproach, "Haven’t I always taught you to keep a low profile?"

Du Meng, a figure who normally commands respect in Donghua’s underworld, acted like an obedient grandchild in front of Li Chen, nodding continuously, "You’re right, young master. I will change my ways, I will!"

After speaking, he slightly shifted to one side, with a sycophantic smile, "Young master, I used my connections to spend 120 million to buy this Rolls-Royce Phantom from the UK as a courtesy car for you!"

Li Chen surveyed the car and gave a slight nod, "This car looks passable, I guess!"

Hearing Li Chen describe the 120-million-yuan Rolls-Royce Phantom as merely ’passable’, Bai Qianshui felt a surge of blood rush up and almost spewed out onto the steering wheel.

If that car is just ’passable’, does that mean my Ferrari should just be thrown away?

At that moment, Li Chen’s gaze swept over, giving Bai Qianshui a fright.

"Young Master Bai, you were right before. I’ve never ridden in a car as low as yours!"

With that said, he no longer paid Bai Qianshui any mind, turning instead to Lin Xuanfei, "Little girl, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and get in the car!"

"Okay!" Lin Xuanfei chuckled, like a proud little princess, and hopped into the car.

"Young master, that guy dared to insult you, should we..."

At that moment, Du Meng leaned in, whispering in Li Chen’s ear.

Li Chen waved his hand dismissively, "Just two insignificant ants—don’t bother with them. Let’s go."

"Right away!" Du Meng respectfully acknowledged and signaled for all the cars to turn around and head back.

Not until the luxury fleet had disappeared from the end of the road did Bai Qianshui and Zhao Huanhuan finally snap out of it. freewebnσvel.cøm

"No wonder Xuanfei said Li Chen is not from our world. It seems she’s right!"

...

Note: "To gain it would be my luck, to lose it, my fate." This is a sentence from a letter Xu Zhimo wrote to Liang Qichao, which originally reads, "I will seek my soulmate in the vast sea of people; to find her would be my fortune; not to, my destiny. That is all." It fits Lin Xuanfei’s persistent nature very well.
