Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 332
Chapter 332: Don’t Be the Hero of the Moment, Be the King of the Generation!
Lin Chuxue couldn’t reach Xu Cheng through his phone after many attempts, so she thought Xu Cheng might’ve encountered some trouble. After putting on a disguise, she brought her keys and went to Xu Cheng’s condo. After looking through all the rooms, she finally found Xu Cheng laying against a chair on the balcony, asleep. Beside him was a pile of white liquor bottles. Asleep? More like drunk.
Lin Chuxue quietly went over and picked up the bottles and cleaned up. Xu Cheng slowly woke up. After Lin Chuxue put the bottles into the recycling bin, she came over and gently touched Xu Cheng’s forehead. “Why didn’t you answer my calls?”
Xu Cheng softly said, “Sorry…”
He turned around and stooped down into silence.
Sensing that his mood wasn’t right, Lin Chuxue curiously asked, “What happened?”
Xu Cheng was silent for a long time. Finally, he spoke.
“I went to see my dad’s woman.”
Lin Chuxue was a bit shocked. She hesitantly asked, “Mom… is she alright?”
Xu Cheng shook his head.
Immediately, he stood up and went to the edge of the balcony. The wind blew onto his face, but he couldn’t calm down.
“I misunderstood her for so many years, I always thought that she didn’t care if my dad was dead or alive, and she didn’t care about me. In fact, I was wrong. Which parent in this world doesn’t love their child? She spent these years being imprisoned. She was the beloved daughter of the Ye Family, yet she had to spend the rest of her life locked up and the son she had been worried about and missing for over 20 years had only been complaining about her… Sometimes, I really feel that I…”
Before he could finish, Lin Chuxue hugged him from behind.
“I’ve never seen you look so depressed, this isn’t like the Xu Cheng I know. Can you be more confident? What setback can bring you down? You said, for me, you can become the enemy of the whole world. Then what are you scared of right now?”
Xu Cheng froze. Then, he placed his hand on Lin Chuxue’s hand and bitterly smiled. “Chuxue, if one day I became insane, what would you do?”
Lin Chuxue leaned on his back and smiled. “I will go crazy with you!”
Xu Cheng laughed and asked, “Do you know what I’m going to do next?”
Lin Chuxue nodded. “Save our mom. I will cook up a good meal and wait for you.”
Xu Cheng didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. “Then I’m willing to not save her.”
Lin Chuxue immediately pinched him on the waist. “I’m going to get some chefs to cook the meal, alright? After you guys left that day, I tried the dishes myself! Humph! I’m an actress, you think I couldn’t tell that you guys were pretending?”
Xu Cheng: “Then why did you keep on telling us to have more?”
Lin Chuxue: “Wouldn’t it be a waste otherwise? At least I did spend a lot of time on it.”
Xu Cheng was speechless. “I’m convinced by this reason.”
Lin Chuxue turned around, picked up a pack of cigarettes, and took one out and placed it into Xu Cheng’s mouth. Xu Cheng paused briefly. “What are you doing?”
“Don’t move.” Lin Chuxue smiled, and then she lit it for him.
After taking a puff, Lin Chuxue smiled. “Yeah, that’s the Xu Cheng I know. Whenever you smoke, I feel like you can carry everything on your shoulders. My man is especially manly when he smokes!” (TL Note: your man’s at risk for lung cancer)
Xu Cheng didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. After putting out the smoke, he looked at the scenery outside the balcony and narrowed his eyes. “It’s not right for the Ryong Family to always be this domineering, right? Look at this beautiful world, it’s easy for the throne to change owners.”
Lin Chuxue nodded. “I don’t care what you are going to do, I’m sticking with my words. Tired, injured, just come home and I will take care of your wounds. But if you die, then I will just marry someone else.”
Xu Cheng laughed. “In fact, now that I think about it, you are going to have a hard time picking someone to remarry, because I think men better than me probably already went extinct.”
Lin Chuxue didn’t forget to play along with his narcissism. “I know, that’s why I didn’t plan on finding someone better. I’m just going to marry a random guy and piss you off so much that you climb out from your grave.”
Speaking of this, Lin Chuxue rested her chin on Xu Cheng’s shoulder and said, “Xu Cheng, remember, becoming the king or losing depends on who can live until the end, who can laugh until the end. I don’t want you to become the hero of the moment, I want you to become the king of the generation! Remember, you have two lives with you. If you die, then I will die too!”
Xu Cheng’s body trembled. He turned around and wanted to persuade Lin Chuxue, but she already picked up her bag and left.
She left while saying, “Always pick up my calls from now on, I won’t allow you to smoke for a month as punishment!”
Watching his wife walk away, Xu Cheng felt really warm inside.
Then, Bei Shan came in.
Smoking, Xu Cheng didn’t even turn around as he said, “What should I do? Right now I just want to grab a knife and go to the Ryong Family and start chopping. Get me a few bros.”
Bei Shan came over and smacked him on the back of his head. “You want the brothers to go die together? The Dragon Division wouldn’t get involved in these things. Even though you are a Dragon Blade, this is still your personal business. If you can really just go over there with a watermelon cleaver, then you will really be my idol!”
Xu Cheng bitterly said, “I facking thought only the Ye Family was my enemy, so I revealed my identity. But now I’m screwed, my script got edited by Jesus and now there’s also the Ryong Family. If it was just the Ye Family, I wouldn’t be in such a pickle. Damn, it’s hard acknowledging a mom.”
Bei Shan said, “Then just run, isn’t that easy? I heard the Wei Nation is up to no good against our country, you can station there for a bit and watch after them. Your Senior Brother JJ ran to Britain because he was being forced to marry, and he rather stay there and live like a hobo all day.”
Xu Cheng: “Cut that crap out, don’t make me just go to the Wei Nation, I wouldn’t even be able to explain to my wife.”
Bei Shan: “Just go out and avoid the head wind. In the future, you can still return like a king, just like how you returned from Britain.”
Bei Shan thought that as long as they had enough time, Xu Cheng could learn more from the Division Master and eventually take over the Division Master’s spot. At that point, he would naturally return as a king, and by then, what kind of sh!t would the Ryong Family be to him?
Xu Cheng shook his head. “I don’t want to leave again, I left too many times already. Whatever, I’m just going to work hard to become stronger. Ryong Family or the Ye Family, I will just handle whoever comes my way. Oh right, what are you doing here?”
Bei Shan said, “To point you to the right path. But since you decided to stay, then I won’t force you to do something else. I’m just here to ask, do you have any savings? Which bank are you with? What’s the password?”
Xu Cheng: “… I don’t have much savings left…”
Bei Shan: “I don’t believe it, how do you not have money when you can gamble like that?”
Xu Cheng: “I really don’t.”
Bei Shan suddenly looked at this condo and said, “This building is probably worth a couple hundred million, right?”
Xu Cheng: “You are not confident in me? You feel that I’m going to die?”
Bei Shan said resolutely, “Yes! Do you have any last words?”
Xu Cheng: “I don’t. My only regret is that there’s no succession for my legacy and I couldn’t continue my family’s lineage. I’m sorry to all my ancestors. Now that I think about it, I have so many assets but no heirs…”
Bei Shan: “Dad.”
Xu Cheng: “Senior Brother, I despise people like you.”
Bei Shan: “Daddy.”
