Chapter 18 Taking Action



There was no one in the kitchen at the moment, but there was soup simmering in a pot. However, Li Ke usually didn't get any soup at this time.

Li Ke made herself a bowl of fried rice, and after eating, she went back to her room, where Li Zhenzhen was already waiting for her.

"What do you want so much money for? Have you gone astray outside?" Li Zhenzhen placed 50,000 yuan in cash on Li Ke's table and looked at Li Ke with a suspicious gaze.

Li Ke held the money in her hand and weighed it before looking at Li Zhenzhen and saying, "My face is in this state now, and you, as my mother, haven't even thought about taking me to get treatment. I have no choice but to find a way myself."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhenzhen looked somewhat uncomfortable. She said with slight impatience, "This is a problem caused by hormonal imbalance during puberty. It will resolve itself in a while. There's no need to make a fuss about it."

Li Ke said directly, "I need to rest, please leave."

Seeing Li Ke's increasingly presumptuous attitude, Li Zhenzhen's face turned ugly, her eyes filled with dislike for her, but in the end she walked out without saying anything.

Not long after Li Zhenzhen left, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door, indicating that the person who came was in a very unpleasant mood.

Li Ke opened the door, and Chen Zhizhi glanced at Li Ke's room with disdain, but in the end, she still walked in with a pout, carrying two bags that looked quite heavy.

Chen Zhizhi threw the bag she was holding on the ground and glared at Li Ke angrily, saying, "Where did you get the video? Give it back to me!"

Li Ke picked up the bag from the ground and emptied out all the money inside. Fifty stacks of brand-new RMB notes were piled on the floor of Li Ke's room, which made Li Ke feel very happy.

Seeing that Li Ke was only focused on the money, Chen Zhizhi impatiently kicked the pile of money on the ground aside: "I'm talking to you, where's the recording? Don't test my patience."

Li Ke then turned his gaze to Chen Zhizhi. Chen Zhizhi looked at Li Ke's disfigured face and frowned: "What are you looking at, you ugly hag? Are you mute? Don't force me to take action."

The moment Chen Zhizhi finished speaking, Li Ke slapped her hard across the face. Chen Zhizhi let out a short "ah" before Li Ke grabbed a rag from the table and stuffed it into her mouth.

Under Chen Zhizhi's incredulous gaze, Li Ke punched her in the stomach again. If Li Ke hadn't grabbed Chen Zhizhi's hair with one hand, the woman would have been sent flying by Li Ke's punch.

Chen Zhizhi truly did not expect Li Ke to suddenly attack her. This completely overturned the cowardly image that Li Ke had previously displayed. Li Ke's punch caused Chen Zhizhi's facial features to distort from the pain, and her vision went black as she fainted.

Li Ke lost control of her strength and did not expect Chen Zhizhi to be so weak. She grabbed Chen Zhizhi by the hair and dragged her to the corner of the bed and threw her there.

Then, he put the money on the ground into a bag and, under the guise of putting it into the wardrobe, stored it in his spatial storage.

Li Ke originally intended to be more patient, but looking at Chen Zhizhi's annoying face, she really couldn't hold back.

The knocking sounded again, and this time it was Chen Jiaojiao. Li Ke stood at the door, looking at the long-unseen youthful face, her clever sixteen-year-old sister.

"Sister, weren't you at school this afternoon? I didn't see you at noon or after school." Chen Jiaojiao stood at the door and asked Li Ke with concern.

Chen Jiaojiao's concern was genuine, and Li Ke felt a little sorry for her. If Chen Zhizhi hadn't collapsed in her room, she would have dragged Chen Jiaojiao into the room and given her a good beating. After all, it was Chen Jiaojiao who had caused Chen Zhizhi's current state.

"Do you really consider me your older sister?" Li Ke asked Chen Jiaojiao, who was standing at the door.

Chen Jiaojiao looked at Li Ke with suspicion. Li Ke looked strange now, with his whole face displayed in front of her. Instead of a trace of inferiority in his eyes, he also had a sharp and intimidating look.

Of all the people in the Chen family, Chen Jiaojiao got along best with Li Ke, so she immediately noticed Li Ke's change.

"Sister, what's wrong? Even though you called Mom 'Auntie,' we all know we're sisters. Why would you suddenly ask that? Also, sister, I feel like you've changed. What's wrong with you today?" Chen Jiaojiao asked, puzzled, and reached out to take Li Ke's hand.

Li Ke avoided her hand, looked into her eyes and said, "Chen Zhizhi said you added something to my skincare products, which is why my skin is ruined. Is what she said true?"

This was mentioned by Chen Zhizhi when she was scolding Li Ke for being too stupid, after the apocalypse, when Li Ke was betrayed by the Chen family and Li Zhenzhen.

Chen Jiaojiao's eyes flickered with panic for a moment, then immediately became anxious: "Why did you say that, Big Sister? Sister, how could you believe Big Sister's words? Don't you know how I treat you? In this family, you are my favorite person, and we have the best relationship. Are you going to doubt me just because of one sentence from Big Sister?"

Thinking that Chen Zhizhi might wake up at any moment, Li Ke no longer wanted to watch Chen Jiaojiao's performance. She said expressionlessly, "I think what she said is true. I'm tired now, you can leave."

After saying that, Li Ke slammed the door shut and locked it. Li Ke went inside, and Chen Zhizhi was still lying on the floor, without making a sound.

Chen Jiaojiao looked at the closed door and felt that Li Ke had changed too much. Could it be because of Chen Zhizhi's words that Li Ke couldn't bear being deceived and became like this? Chen Jiaojiao couldn't figure it out for a moment.

However, she had just finished showering and was actually quite tired. Since Li Ke hadn't cooperated with her sisterly affection today, she could only go back to rest and see how things were tomorrow.
