Chapter Forty-Seven: Two Slaps



Gu Lanyan and her two sons were stunned. Captain Ye was too righteous and kind; he was practically a savior.

However, Hua Lin was going crazy and could only say to Hua Kai, "Hua Kai, don't think you're so great just because you've hooked up with Captain Ye. He's a college student from the city, what are you? Once he's had his fun, you'll just be a used shoe."

Hua Kai slapped Hua Lin twice across the face, two crisp, clean slaps.

Then she said to Hua Lin, who was holding her by the collar, "Remember this: every time you slander me, I will beat you up."

Hua Lin finally came to her senses and reached out to scratch Hua Kai's face. Hua Kai twisted Hua Lin back, then quickly grabbed Hua Lin's right shoulder and pulled her down hard. There was a cracking sound, followed by Hua Lin's heart-wrenching scream.

Ye Yifan was even more surprised to see the flowers bloom. This girl's kung fu was amazing and cunning. She could dislocate people's joints so quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. She was no ordinary person.

Zheng Shuzhen looked at Hua Lin, whose arm was in a sling, and burst into tears, "Linlin, what happened?"

Hua Lin cried so hard she could barely breathe: "Grandma, I can't move my arm."

Zheng Shuzhen was frightened this time and said to Ye Yifan, "Captain Ye, you saw it, this flower is going to kill people, you have to be our witness."

Ye Yifan coldly replied, "Hua Kai was merely acting in self-defense; there was nothing excessive about it."

Hua Lin, feeling both pain and fear, said to Zheng Shuzhen, "Grandma, let's hurry to the township hospital, my arm is going to be ruined."

Zheng Shuzhen said, "Let's go to the township government. Even if Captain Ye has a position, he can't bully people like this. I don't believe there's no one in the township who can stand up for us."

Hua Kai didn't intend to make a big deal out of this, since she was going back to school in the city that afternoon and also had to discuss her older brother's matter. She didn't have the mood to waste time with them.

So she walked over to Hua Lin, grabbed Hua Lin's arm and lifted her up, and there was another cracking sound.

Of course, this was accompanied by Hua Lin's scream: "Ah, Hua Kai has killed someone!"

Zheng Shuzhen was so frightened that she broke out in a sweat. She didn't know what Huakai had done again, and stared at Huakai with wide eyes.

Hua Kai said to Hua Lin, "Your arm is fine now, what are you yelling about? If you yell again, I'll pull out your front teeth."

Hua Lin was so frightened that she covered her mouth and shook her head. She realized that she could move her hands again, so she quickly grabbed Zheng Shuzhen and ran outside.

Watching the grandfather and grandson run away in a panic, Hua Kai looked at Ye Yifan and said, "Thank you for helping me earlier. I'm sorry you had to see this."

Ye Yifan smiled: "You did a great job. If it were me, I would have done the same."

At this moment, Gu Lanyan had finally recovered her senses: "Captain Ye, please come in and sit down. This place, this place, I really don't know what to say."

Ye Yifan said to Gu Lanyan, "Auntie, I have things to do at my team, so I won't come in. I'll visit you another time." He knew it wasn't appropriate to visit at home at this time, so he politely declined.

Gu Lanyan didn't know whether to keep him or not, so she could only look at the blooming flowers.

Hua Kai said to Gu Lanyan, "Mom, since Captain Ye has something to do today, let's wait for another opportunity to invite Captain Ye to our house."

Gu Lanyan didn't know what to say, so she could only politely say, "Then Captain Ye, please remember to come visit us at home in the future."

Ye Yifan nodded and said, "Definitely, Auntie. I'll head back now."

Gu Lanyan quickly led the three children to see Ye Yifan off, said goodbye again, and watched Ye Yifan leave.

Hua Kai didn't say much, since she was going in his car in the afternoon and had plenty of time to talk.

Back in the courtyard, Gu Lanyan took a deep breath: "How could I have imagined that Captain Ye would help our family so much?"

Hua Kai smiled and said, "Mom, Captain Ye is my friend, so of course he'll help me. He may look cold, but he's warm-hearted."

Gu Lanyan smiled and said, "It seems our family has really met a benefactor and our luck has turned around. After lunch, Kaikai should pack up and go home early so Captain Ye won't wait for us. I'll go make lunch now." With that, she went to fetch firewood.

Hua Kai looked at Hua Qingyi and said, "Brother, do you see? Only when you have ability can you gain the trust of capable people."

Hua Qingyi nodded: "Yes, I've decided. I'll go to the city. We'll talk about this when Dad gets back."

Hua Qingyang listened to his older brother and sister's words and asked with a puzzled look, "Brother, sister, what are you going to do?"

Hua Kai said to her younger brother, "To make our family better and better, hurry up and go inside. You haven't finished explaining your question yet."

Hua Qingyi said, "Kaikai, you and Qingyang go inside first to learn, I'll feed the piglets some food."

Hua Kai agreed and pulled her younger brother into the house to continue studying.

Hua Wanjiang returned before lunch. Knowing that his daughter was going back to school today, he didn't stay at his friend's place for long.

Gu Lanyan had finished cooking, but it wasn't 11 o'clock yet, so Hua Kai invited her parents inside, saying they had something to discuss and would eat afterward.

After everyone went inside and sat down, Gu Lanyan thought Huakai was going to talk about what happened that morning. She said to Huakai, "Kaikai, let's not talk about your grandma's matter. It's not a big deal."

Hua Kai didn't take Zheng Shuzhen and the others seriously at all. After hearing Gu Lanyan's words, she laughed and said, "Mom, I'm not talking about those trivial matters. Those are not important. I'm talking about our family's affairs."

Gu Lanyan became a little nervous: "What's wrong? This is quite scary."

Hua Wanjiang also looked at Hua Kai with concern.

Hua Qingyi said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, it's not a bad thing, don't worry, let Kaikai explain slowly."

Everyone looked at Huakai, who then shared her thoughts: "Mom and Dad, I accidentally learned a trade from someone, designing room layouts for city dwellers' apartments, also known as interior design. The prospects are very good. I tried doing one job and thought it was okay, but I'm too busy with school, so I want my brother to go to the city to do this. Of course, I also hope that my brother can go out and see the world so that he can have more options for his future."

Upon hearing this, Hua Wanjiang immediately objected, saying, "Kaikai, I know you're sensible and want to earn money as soon as possible to support your family, but you've just started high school. Studying is important, and you can't be distracted. Aren't you affecting your studies by doing these things?"

Gu Lanyan also said, "Your father is right. We send you to school so that you can go to university. You have to study hard."

Hua Kai knew that her parents genuinely wanted what was best for her, but she really didn't need to spend so much time studying.

So she said to Hua Wanjiang and Gu Lanyan, "Mom and Dad, maybe you made me too smart. I really don't need that much time to study. I used to be bad at expressing myself, so you don't know, but I could understand English magazines in middle school. Now I know everything the teacher teaches. How about this, let me try first. If I don't do well on the midterm exam, then I'll focus on studying. If I do all this and still do well on the midterm exam, then you can let me do whatever I want, okay?"
