The cafe’s air conditioning was strong, so she wore a thin, form-fitting cashmere sweater that accentuated her slender waist and the graceful curves of her upper body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with her strikingly beautiful face, the blend of youthful innocence and mature allure…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s how it is…” Chu Keqing sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the owner, Chu Keqing suddenly realized her original gift offering seemed inadequate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Chen Yan had acted out of rage for a woman—this woman in the cafe must be closely connected to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had assumed the three thugs had merely stumbled into some accidental karmic connection with the elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her original plan had been to drop by, offer a token sum of ten or twenty thousand, and be done with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was clear she hadn’t prepared enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Keqing left without saying a word; the owner didn’t notice, still staring intently at the game screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>·\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Keqing’s departure took little time. Back in her car, she instructed her assistant to handle matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes to rest—she was accustomed to meditation and didn’t find this brief pause difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before dusk, the assistant hurried back, handing Chu Keqing an envelope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Zi, it’s done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Keqing took it, opened the envelope, glanced inside, and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then stepped out of the car, crossed the street again, and reentered the cafe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner still sat behind the counter, absorbed in a drama on screen, when a soft, slightly nasal voice spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner looked up and saw a woman who took her breath away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore a form-fitting qipao of pale purple fabric, its embroidery clearly hand-stitched and valuable. On her nose sat delicate glasses; her face—how to describe it…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seductive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, are you here to use the internet?” the owner asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman’s attire and bearing didn’t seem like those of a customer who’d frequent a low-end cafe like hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could I trouble you for a moment? I’d like to speak with you about something.” Chu Keqing’s tone was polite, but seeing the owner’s confusion, she added softly: “I’m a relative of Luo Qing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner’s expression changed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wasn’t the case already settled? You… are you here for something else…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the owner tense up, Chu Keqing shook her head and smiled: “Please don’t misunderstand—I’m not here to cause trouble. I’ve come for another reason. May I speak with you privately, in a quieter place…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner bit her lip silently, glanced around the cafe—her three younger brothers weren’t here tonight; they’d said they were going out drinking with friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine,” the owner thought for a moment. “There’s a room upstairs—if you don’t mind…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t mind,” Chu Keqing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two minutes later, in the owner’s third-floor bedroom, the owner sat on a chair, eyes wide with confusion, staring at the woman in purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the small table before her lay a receipt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I had the landlord pay three years’ rent for your building—here’s the receipt from him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner was bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three years’ rent? Paid for me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cafe rented this small building; while not large, it was in a university district, so rent was expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three years’ rent amounted to hundreds of thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for Luo Qing,” Chu Keqing said slowly, “he committed the wrongdoing that angered someone. Your brothers were merely caught up in it—it was ultimately Luo Qing’s fault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So they suffered legal trouble, and you endured worry and fear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could anyone say that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My brothers beat someone up, and now the victim’s family comes to say the victim deserved it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And… gave me hundreds of thousands?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner suddenly remembered how Luo Qing had been overly attentive when she picked up her brothers that day—and now she looked at the receipt…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could Luo Qing be trying to seduce her, sending money to bribe her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the owner lean back, her face tense with suspicion, Chu Keqing, being sharp, guessed part of it and shook her head: “Don’t overthink it. I’m here solely to apologize—no other intentions whatsoever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, then pulled out her phone, opened her photo album to the image of Luo Qing’s broken legs, and showed it to the owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I punished Luo Qing severely. This was our fault—I’ve bowed my head completely. I’ve come to show you our sincerity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Keqing’s gentle words left the owner utterly bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that she was foolish—it was just… no one had ever encountered anything like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, the owner shook her head: “I… I don’t understand. What do you want? What’s your goal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I run just a small internet cafe—I have no wealth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Keqing paused, frowned at the owner, then sighed and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s my business card in the envelope. If you ever face any trouble in Jinling, you can find me—I can still help with some matters here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave a bitter smile: “As for what I want… I’ll be honest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ask for nothing else—only that you speak a few kind words about me to Elder Chen Yan in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Chu Keqing bowed slightly, then politely took her leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner stood frozen, her mind as if struck by lightning, unable to process anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Chu Keqing left, she stared at the receipt on the table…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had she just said?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Chen Yan? Xiao Yan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner rushed downstairs, only to see a black car already driving away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She steadied herself, rushed back behind the counter, and dialed Chen Yan’s number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call connected quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello? Boss?” Chen Yan’s voice was gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…” The owner fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it Xiao Yan who made this happen, so my brothers were released?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And… why did they go to such lengths to apologize?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who exactly is Xiao Yan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did he go to such trouble for me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner’s face suddenly flushed—she’d just thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello?” Chen Yan asked again. “Boss, what’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um…” The owner took a deep breath, forcing her voice steady and calm: “Just now, a woman named Chu came to the cafe looking for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end, Chen Yan’s tone turned serious: “Go on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She… she said she came to apologize.” The owner carefully recounted everything that had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she whispered: “So… was it you, Xiao Yan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan was silent for a moment, then let out that familiar, easy laugh she’d heard for four years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, yes, it was me.” Chen Yan didn’t deny it, his tone casual: “Oh well, I was trying to keep a normal persona with you, but now I’m revealing it—I’m actually a very powerful rich second-generation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner: “…………”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, that woman Chu isn’t here to cause trouble—take the benefits she offered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I can’t.” The owner hurriedly said. “That’s not a small amount! They lowered themselves for your sake and paid so much—whether it’s enmity, debt, or favor—it all rests on you. I can’t take this money!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And… how could you possibly be a rich second-generation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner thought silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think I don’t know you after four years? You’ve been broke as a beggar—your free internet use here? I couldn’t count it on both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve mooched meals too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yan, I’m not joking—I won’t take this money. If I must take it, I’ll give it to you!” The owner spoke firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan thought for a moment, then said slowly, “Then consider it my prepaid internet fee.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of thousands? As an internet fee?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could pay for a yearly subscription until you retire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yan!” the shop owner’s tone was urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’m busy right now. I’ll think about this and contact you in a couple days to tell you how to fix it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, put everything else aside—what could possibly be more important than hundreds of thousands?” The shop owner sighed helplessly; this guy was always so unserious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end, Chen Yan spoke softly: “I’m making a spirit tablet for my real father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shop owner: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a stunned pause, she said slowly, “Alright... then, you... you go ahead and take care of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>·\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan, after hanging up, rolled his eyes in exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know you, Zi Lao, are generous with your money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know you, Zi Lao, are full of sincerity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine already!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That afternoon, Manager Fang had called to say that Chu Keqing had come to apologize and compensate him with a large sum of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now tonight, the shop owner pulls this stunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re so generous, so willing to spend money...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why don’t you just give it to me directly!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I told you not to come bother me—but if you’re coming to hand me cash, I’d throw open the doors and welcome you with open arms!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be that I’m acting too much like a senior master, putting on too much of an air?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>·\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Give me some votes]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>·\u003C\u002Fp>",1672,"2026-06-20T00:04:18.515Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","74c975a2743d5bf9ae478ffe5e836bb3dc667caf04575ace43099b6b28e68091","just-stop-using-your-divine-powers-chapter-70","just-stop-using-your-divine-powers-chapter-68",174,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjust-stop-using-your-divine-powers-cover.jpg"]
