125: If He Doesn’t Knock Me Down, I’ll Knock Him Down _1 “Is the Tian Family really that powerful?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen couldn’t help but ask when he heard this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi explained, “In every city, there are constantly new entrepreneurs, businessmen, and other wealthy people emerging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They integrate into the city’s upper class and become the new elites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in every place, there are always a few local powers that have been entrenched for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They have deep roots, and their influence permeates all industries, even the official channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their power is astonishing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen suddenly understood, “The Tian Family is one of Pingjiang’s entrenched powers?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi nodded, “Yes, the Tian Family is a cultivator family that has been rooted in Pingjiang for at least 50 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these 50 years, the Tian Family’s business has spread across all industries, and their influence extends to all major official departments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pingjiang’s officials have come and gone, but the Tian Family’s power remains unaffected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are the true local tyrants.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a laugh, “So does that mean the Tian Family is unrivaled and can do whatever they want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Almost, but not quite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi corrected, “The cultivator families in Pingjiang are not limited to the Tian Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to them, the Han Family and Lei Family are on par with the Tian Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are collectively known as the Three Great Families of Pingjiang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi worriedly looked at Ye Wen, “Wenwen, will the second young master of the Tian Family cause you any trouble?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Wen appeared worried, “I’m leaving, and I won’t see him again, so I should be fine, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi asked, “What do you plan to do about your boyfriend’s attitude?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Wen gritted her teeth, “I’ll talk to him when I get back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he doesn’t think he’s wrong, then we’ll break up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen didn’t comment on Ye Wen’s situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one, they weren’t close, and two, it was up to the individual’s own attitude in such matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Persuasion from outsiders is useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might earnestly advise someone to break up now, but once they get back together and smooth things over with just a few words, you’ll end up pleasing no one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the meal was over, Ye Wen received a phone call from her boyfriend, who soon arrived in a car to pick her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think they will break up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen shook his head, “No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi smiled, “Why do you say that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen chuckled, “Ye Wen is quite satisfied with her current living situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she is complaining, deep down, she has already forgiven her boyfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left as soon as she got the call, without even showing a little temper.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi said in surprise, “You really understand women.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen shook his head, “It’s not that I understand women, I just understand human nature.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi laughed, “Alright, a man chooses his own path, whether it’s bitter or sweet, they have to bear it themselves…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you done eating?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go watch a movie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the movie theater, Gu Yuexi leaned her entire body on Lin Chen’s shoulder and actively held his hand, their fingers intertwined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, should I consider myself your girlfriend now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Chen turned his head to answer, Gu Yuexi’s right hand gently covered his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as your agreement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen couldn’t help but laugh at Gu Yuexi’s words, his heart touched at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was probably afraid that he would deny it, or mention something about an arranged marriage or a fiancée, so she simply didn’t allow him to answer and directly “confirmed” the relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whatever you think, I am determined to be with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I chose you, and no matter what happens in the future, I accept it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen took Gu Yuexi’s hand, kissed it and said, “Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi’s eyes instantly shone with a captivating brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned around and hugged Lin Chen’s neck, actively offering a passionate kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen didn’t refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Gu Yuexi already said so much, there was no point in being hesitant any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the future, there was no need to worry for now – they should at least enjoy the present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spacious and high-backed double-seat couple chairs provided a private space for them to get intimate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two kissed passionately in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s hand, which had originally been holding Gu Yuexi’s slender waist, unknowingly began to move upwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi’s heart raced like thunder, her face flushed, and her whole body seemed to be on fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t resist at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t a teenage girl anymore; she was already 24!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was a man she liked, and she was determined to be with him, why be coy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sooner or later, wouldn’t she belong to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s more, Lin Chen had said that in three months, whether he would still be in Pingjiang was a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to capture Lin Chen as soon as possible and completely tie him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if they remained innocent and he disappeared, what would she do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was no ordinary person; his willpower was as strong as steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t be easily swayed by her simple words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hadn’t he refused her so resolutely before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she wanted to conquer him, she had to be serious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi was the kind of person who, once she made up her mind, would actively work towards her goal and achieve it, rather than hesitating like other women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lin Chen wouldn’t push her down, then she would push Lin Chen down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would find an excuse to go to a hotel tonight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The movie was especially long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two left the theater, it was already 11:30 in the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen checked the time and smiled, “Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi held onto Lin Chen’s arm and pursed her lips, “But I don’t want to go back yet…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1028,"2026-06-06T01:51:32.142Z",1,"novelbin.me","3929503c6a068ddb25f9fbc713178fe573c1c6b17cb3b8406f1afdbb1b547624","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-106","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-104",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
