Chapter 43: Chapter 43: The Schemes of the Uncle’s Family
The sudden change stunned everyone present.
The middle-aged woman was slapped by Li Fei and spun around like a top for three turns. If her son hadn’t rushed forward to support her, she might have already fallen to the ground.
Even so, it took her a long time to finally recover.
"You... you little wretch! How dare you hit me?" The middle-aged woman looked at Li Fei with a fierce yet timid expression.
Because it was only now that she realized Li Fei was no longer the little girl she could bully at will.
As a Professional, even though Li Fei was just a novice, she could kill an ordinary strong man with a mere motion.
Let alone her?
"If you insult me again, I can slap you once more!" Li Fei said resolutely.
Since she had already made a move, she had no intention of acknowledging these relatives.
Moreover, with her status, she no longer needed to tolerate this.
Professionals are the backbone of human society. If it weren’t for Professionals fighting desperately at the Anomalous Spatial Rift, humanity might have been doomed long ago.
Therefore, ordinary people need to maintain a certain degree of respect for Professionals; you don’t need to bow when you see them on the street, but you must not insult them.
Just like earlier, Li Fei definitely had the right to teach this woman a lesson,
even if this woman was her aunt, it was still the case.
As long as the action is measured, doesn’t cause serious injury, and doesn’t lead to death, Professionals are generally not punished.
"Li Fei, you hit your aunt for an outsider!?" Li Minghui said with some anger.
"Enough, over the years, my father’s monthly pension and medical expenses have already been devoured by your family, I don’t owe you a single cent!"
"And, Li Minghui, I know you’re spreading rumors about me and Lin Ye. I advise you to stop, or face the consequences!"
Li Fei continued coldly.
She had completely lost hope in her uncle’s family.
"Fine! If that’s the case, then never set foot in our house again!" Li Minghui spat out harsh words.
Li Fei only found it amusing...
How foolish had she been to consider these people as her family, even willingly allowing herself to be exploited.
If it weren’t for Lin Ye, she wouldn’t have realized that true attention and love felt like this.
Over the years, her uncle’s family took advantage of her being underage, and after her father was seriously ill, they obtained custody and leached off her and her father relentlessly.
Now all Li Fei had to do was wait until the college entrance examination was over to obtain adult status!
Then she would be able to sever ties with her uncle’s family.
"You little wretch..." The woman tried to say something more but was forcibly pulled away by her son.
Li Fei saw the two leave, and finally the tension on her face relaxed.
...
Outside the hospital, Yu Mei was still touching her swollen cheek, continually cursing.
"Stop rambling! It’s just Li Fei; if it were another Professional, you might not have been able to get up!" Li Minghui couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
"Then I wouldn’t dare scold other Professionals!" Yu Mei declared self-righteously.
Li Minghui: "..."
He was left speechless by his mother’s cowardice yet assertiveness.
"Who would’ve thought this little wretch is so lucky, with such good talent and strong power! Should have dealt with her earlier, after feeding off our family for so many years!" Yu Mei still grumbled with regret.
Deeply regretting not getting rid of Li Fei sooner.
"No! I suspect she’s been nurtured by Lin Ye all along! On her own, she wouldn’t have such capabilities?" Being a Professional, Li Minghui naturally saw much more than ordinary people.
Not to mention, he had looked down on his cousin who lived under his roof since childhood.
As for spreading rumors outside, it was simply out of jealousy.
He couldn’t accept that Li Fei was stronger and doing better than him!
Thus, he tried every method to separate Lin Ye and Li Fei as a duo.
"So what do you mean?" Yu Mei asked.
"Here’s what... Tomorrow, bring Dad to the hospital to cause trouble—demand a refund on medical expenses, and take that vegetative father out of the hospital! Help me delay Li Fei, while I figure out a way to deal with Lin Ye!" Li Minghui lowered his voice.
"You... really can do it?" Yu Mei asked skeptically.
Li Minghui had little to say: "A Mechanic like me shouldn’t be unable to handle a Healer, right?"
"Besides, even if I can’t... my elder brother surely can? I tell you, I’ve already shown him Li Fei’s photo, and he’s very satisfied! He’s definitely willing to take action against Lin Ye!" Li Minghui finally revealed his intentions.
In truth, he had already planned everything.
"Your elder brother... the young master of the Gao Family you’ve been talking about lately?" Yu Mei’s eyes brightened!
Shan City’s old Professional Family... the Gao Family!
A few years ago, they produced a female genius with SSS-Class Talent, astounding the entire Southern Region. It’s said even top officials from the Alliance Headquarters personally came to inspect.
One could say the Gao Family has considerable weight in Shan City!
Professional Families hold significant positions within human society.
Through generational marriages, they have greatly increased the likelihood of producing Professional descendants, occupying many high-level ecological positions within human society.
The Gao Family used to have a dominating influence over Shan City.
Only because the Gao Family Patriarch made a huge mistake while serving as City Lord a few years back and was suppressed by the Professional Alliance, otherwise Shan City could have been entirely under the Gao Family’s control.
"Yes, the Gao Family’s Gao Wei! Why ask so many questions? Just bring Dad to the hospital for trouble tomorrow!" Li Minghui said again.
"Alright! Everything follows your lead!" Yu Mei finally showed a hint of a smile on the half of her face that wasn’t swollen.
The son has grown up!
And hugging such a strong thigh of the Gao Family—wouldn’t he be soaring to success soon!
As for Li Fei... What use is it to have S-Class Talent?
Can she compete with those from Professional Families?
And being entangled with a little-known Healer...
Now being eyed by the Gao Family’s young master, she’ll likely become nothing more than a breeding machine!
Thinking of this, Yu Mei couldn’t help but laugh.
The relief made the swelling seem to subside a bit.
...
"I didn’t expect you to be able to get an SSS evaluation at the Black Stone Mine!"
In the VIP room of the Professional Center, Zhang Ruiqi admired with praise.
This further confirmed his idea that Lin Ye came from an extraordinary background!
After all, unless you’re born into those powerful Professional Families, how else could you achieve such things?
Despite many guesses online about obtaining an SSS rank at the Black Stone Mine, to Zhang Ruiqi those are pure nonsense...
Such guesses as "if a team has three people with attributes of power, agility, and spiritual power each reaching 100 points, a hidden mode can be activated—seems like pure fiction."
Could Lin Ye’s team for the SSS pass even gather these three people?
Lin Ye, a Healer, couldn’t have three attributes above 100 points, could he?
Thinking about this, Zhang Ruiqi couldn’t help but laugh...
You have to say, these people are really humorous.
