Zhao Mei's cousin shrank back again when he was looked at. Zhao Danhong couldn't help but say, "Niece, my son is your cousin after all. He doesn't need to be scolded like this, right?"
Zhao Mei smiled and didn't want to talk: "I'm too lazy to scold them. Why should I help educate the children you spoiled yourself? I'm not a great philanthropist or educator."
After saying that, Zhao Mei saw her phone screen light up and immediately started to chase them away: "Alright, the money has arrived, and I've torn up the IOU. You can leave now and stop standing here and getting in the way."
Zhao Danhong said hurriedly, "Oh, how can you kick someone out so quickly? It would be so embarrassing if it were to be spread out. We still want to catch up with your dad."
Zhao Mei waved the police phone in her hand and said, "If you don't leave, I will call the police directly. Although you are not breaking the law because you are relatives, I will insist that you are trespassing illegally and you will be taken away. Do you want to try?"
Seeing that Zhao Danhong was silent, Zhao Danzhen said, "Niece, we are your real sisters after all, and we have no ill intentions in coming here today. We just want to chat and apologize for what Danhong did yesterday. She was too impatient and didn't think it through."
Just as Zhao Mei was about to continue speaking, she was pulled back. Turning around, she saw it was her father. He shook his head gently, so Zhao Mei had no choice but to put down the phone and change her strategy: "Okay, let's chat about family matters, right? Then you and Zhao Danhong can chat slowly together. Mom and Dad, let's go. I have something urgent to do. You two come with me."
After saying that, he turned to look at Zhao Danzhen: "I have something urgent to tell you, are you still interested?"
Zhao Danzhen opened her mouth but didn't say anything, so Zhao Mei took her parents to change their shoes and went out.
Worried that these snobbish relatives were really waiting for them at home, Zhao Mei took her parents directly to a five-star hotel in Xincheng and booked a presidential suite, intending to spend the night there. As for the things at home, given the attitude of her two relatives who wanted to please others, they probably wouldn't dare to touch anything.
When we entered the room, we found that the presidential suite had a master bedroom and a secondary bedroom, one for my parents and one for Zhao Mei.
As soon as Zhao Mei sat down on the sofa, she heard her father say, "Meili, don't blame your dad for pulling you out. Sometimes, even though you don't care about other people's opinions, you can't not care. After all, ethically speaking, they are your aunts. If you don't want to help, you can cry poor. If you don't want to care, you can say you're busy, but you can't openly scold them and drive them away, especially when you have a bright future. I believe you understand what I mean, right, Meili?"
Zhao Mei nodded. "I know, Dad. I said I'd call the police just to scare them. And I really didn't expect money to be so appealing. They'd rather I called the police than leave. It's pretty outrageous to be honest."
Ye Danqin on the side also spoke up: "It's not surprising that they did this. At that time, your father made money from investment, and after our family moved to a new house, they swept away their previous contemptuous eyes and came to join in the fun during every festival, giving gifts and moving out of their parents' house, just to get your father to accept their investment. Later, your father's cash flow was cut off. At the worst time, people came to his house to collect debts. Even tens of thousands of yuan could ease the debt, but they refused to pay a penny. If they didn't have that kind of money, I wouldn't say anything. In the end, they even moved to a new house and a new car in those years. Sigh..."
Zhao Zhengzhen interrupted Ye Danqin's recollection: "It's okay, don't think about it. At that time, I was thinking about how my two sisters sacrificed a lot so that I could go to school. In the end, I gritted my teeth and did it. But now that my two sisters are doing well, I feel relieved. Our Meili is so hardworking now, it can be said that after all the hardships, there is happiness."
Zhao Mei felt unhappy listening to this. She kept thinking to herself that it was a good thing that she had the system, otherwise life would be really hard. Her relatives at home were unreliable, and she had debts outside...etc.?
\"Wait a minute, Dad, I remember you said before that our family still had some debts outside, but those two almost forgot about it. Do you still remember who you owed it to? I will pay it all back together." Zhao Mei, who suddenly remembered that her family still had some foreign debts, asked hurriedly.
Zhao Zhengzhen shook his head. "They're very scattered. Each person is paying hundreds of thousands or something. We'll have to go home tomorrow to talk about it. We didn't get to have our celebration banquet today. What a pity."
"It's okay, Dad. I'll order room service. The food in a five-star hotel should be pretty good. Why not try it?" Zhao Mei happily ordered room service after receiving the affirmation.
But soon, Zhao Mei overturned her own opinion: "...I bet the five-dollar bowl of flat noodles downstairs is better than this."
Ye Danqin laughed when she heard it: "I vote for beauty for this one. It's really unpalatable. It's not as good as what I made."
Zhao Zhengzhen confirmed Ye Danqin's opinion: "Let me put it this way, this is the first time I think your mother can be a chef in a five-star hotel."
The family smiled at each other, and after dinner they chatted about Zhao Mei's study and work, then returned to their respective bedrooms to watch TV and prepare to rest.
Zhao Mei entered the second bedroom, lay down on the bed, and impatiently called out to the system: "Xiao Lan! Where's my intermediate gene modification fluid? Take it out and use it! Is there any difference this time compared to before?"
The Intermediate Genetic Modification Fluid is an upgraded version of the Primary Level. Its effects are, of course, improved upon the Primary Level. If the Primary Level is laying the foundation for your genetic modification, then the Intermediate and subsequent Advanced Levels are like building the building. Honestly, the changes should be significant.
"The transformation is not small? Then will my parents misunderstand me? For example, if I grew ten centimeters overnight, I'm afraid my parents will lock me up."
[...Don't worry, this won't happen. Unlike appearance or height modification, the genetic modification fluid's effects are more internal. Although it will grow a few centimeters, it won't be noticeable at all. Please feel free to use it.]
"That's fine. Use it on me tonight. How long will it take to take effect?"
[This time it will take effect in twelve hours. Since you already have the basics, the time it takes to take effect will be faster.]
[Intermediate genetic modification fluid has been used for you. Estimated completion time: 12 hours.]
Zhao Mei, who had already experienced the primary gene modification liquid, couldn't wait to know the effect of the intermediate level, but looking at the twelve-hour countdown, she could only suppress her excitement and prepare to pack up, wash up and go to bed.
After coming out of the bathroom, Zhao Mei turned off the lights and lay on the bed. She could see the colorful night sky outside the glass by turning her head to the right. For a city like Xincheng, the height of the five-star hotel was enough to overlook all the other mountains. Although it was high and gorgeous enough, it still seemed out of place.
I thought about my eighteen years, which were all spent in this small city in front of me. But now, I have the unlimited power of the system, just like this hotel to this city. My goals, vision and even future are far beyond the scope of this small city.
