"Those were just words spoken in anger, not what I truly meant." Hua Lin didn't dare to swear, because she had indeed said it.
But those were just words spoken in anger. She thought Hua Kai wouldn't tell anyone, so she vented her emotions on her own. She never expected that Hua Qingsheng would tell her. She was so anxious that she was about to cry.
But by this time, Hua Qingsheng hated Hua Lin to the core. He said to Hua Lin viciously, "I really didn't expect you to be like this. Yesterday I was telling Grandma that I would prepare more dowry for you. It seems that I was just being irrelevant. You can just wait to marry Wang Shengli with your bare bottom exposed." After saying that, he limped back to the village.
Hua Lin wanted to follow Hua Qingsheng back home; she didn't want to get married without a dowry.
However, Hua Kai stopped Hua Lin: "You're just going to leave like that?"
Every time Hua Lin looked into Hua Kai's eyes, she felt terrified. It was an indescribable feeling, as if those eyes held an abyss that could suck her in and destroy her.
She avoided Hua Kai's gaze: "I'm out of luck today, move aside."
Hua Kai laughed: "It seems you haven't figured out our place yet. Did I tell you to leave?"
Hua Lin is now terrified because she has come to realize that Hua Kai is not the same Hua Kai she used to be, not the one she could manipulate. In fact, Hua Kai seems to know martial arts and her appearance has changed as well.
She took two steps back: "Huakai, why are you different?"
Hua Kai smiled and said, "People change. When you've been bullied for a long time, you'll naturally start thinking about how to fight back. I've been preparing for this for more than just a day or two."
"You, you actually started preparing for revenge all along? What do you want?" Hua Lin was genuinely scared. There was no one around, and she knew she couldn't beat Hua Kai.
Hua Kai took two steps forward: "I can't take revenge all at once, after all, you've bullied me more than once, right? I'll get my revenge slowly." As she spoke, she punched Hua Lin directly in the chest.
Hua Lin clutched her chest in pain, curled up on the ground, and could still taste a salty, metallic flavor in her mouth. The fear in her heart and the pain in her body made her tremble uncontrollably.
Hua Kai squatted down opposite Hua Lin: "This is just the beginning. You owe me, and I will get it all back in the future." After saying that, she patted Hua Lin's shoulder hard, then stood up, humming a song, and walked home.
She didn't want Hua Lin to get hurt, after all, she didn't want to show too much of herself, but that punch just now was enough to make Hua Lin feel pain for days.
Hua Lin picked up a pebble from the ground, intending to hit Hua Kai, but she didn't dare. She could only hold the pebble in her hand, watching Hua Kai walk away with hatred in her eyes.
Hua Kai returned home in high spirits, because she had not only dealt with the brother and sister by force, but also sown discord between them, which was the key point.
When Hua Kai got home, she didn't tell her family about it, because she couldn't very well say that she had beaten Hua Qingsheng to a pulp, could she?
The next morning, Hua Kai changed into a white shirt, wore a three-quarter sleeve double-button blazer that she had modified herself, paired it with skinny jeans, white athletic shoes, and a bun hairstyle.
When he came out dressed like that, his family was stunned.
Hua Qingyang blinked: "Sis, is this your dress?"
Hua Kai laughed as she listened to her younger brother's incoherent words and said, "Whose clothes are they if they're not mine?"
Hua Qingyang tilted his head and looked at it for a long time: "Wait a minute, sis, these clothes look different from before."
Hua Kai then asked, "Is it prettier or not prettier?"
"Of course you're beautiful, sis. You were beautiful before too. Everyone said you were the most beautiful girl in our Cuishan Village. Now, you're probably the most beautiful in our village." Hua Qingyang nodded, quite satisfied with her assessment.
Hua Kai smiled and said, "Thank you for the praise, my little brother. I will continue to work hard in the future." She was very confident in her height, figure, and appearance.
Gu Lanyan laughed as she listened: "You kids, you have no sense of humility at all, praising yourselves like that?"
Hua Wanjiang also smiled: "Putting everything else aside, our daughter is really beautiful."
Hua Qingyi smiled from the side; he didn't talk much, but his words were warm.
The atmosphere at home is always so warm and cozy; when the flowers bloom, I feel happy every moment.
After having breakfast, Hua Kai greeted her family and went to the crossroads at the village entrance to wait for the minibus to the city at 8:10.
Their Cuishan Village has a great location, situated at the intersection of several main roads. Several buses pass by the village entrance every day. Once the bridge is completed, transportation will become even more convenient.
When she reached the village entrance, she stood under the willow tree, looking at the beautiful village in the early morning.
Although she was a little uneasy, fearing that she wouldn't be able to go to high school smoothly and would have to go back to her hometown to repeat her studies.
But she was also mentally prepared. It was a second chance, so either way she would be better off. If she needed to retake the exam, she would try to skip a grade in high school and make up for lost time.
As she was lost in thought, a black Jeep pulled up beside her.
A man wearing jeans and a white shirt got out of the car: "Hua Kai? You came to see me a few days ago?"
Hua Kai looked up and saw that it was the man who had helped her that day. She shielded her eyes from the direct sunlight and said to him, "Yes, I was in a hurry that day and forgot to ask your name. Are you Captain Ye?"
The man shifted half his body, using himself to block the sunlight shining directly on Hua Kai's face, and then said, "My name is Ye Yifan, I'm the captain of the survey team. You can call me whatever you like. Did you need something from me?" When he saw Hua Kai again, he felt that this girl exuded a different kind of temperament and feeling.
Hua Kai lowered her hand, looked up at Ye Yifan, who was more than half a head taller than her: "I just wanted to thank you. Although I don't have the ability to repay you right now, I will keep your kindness in my heart and will definitely repay you in the future."
