Sold for 300, I Fight Back with Superpowers

”Qingqing!” Su Qing’s words deeply unsettled Li Aiguo. Frowning, he said to her, ”I brought you back to Jia City for your own good. I wanted you to see your mother and understand she didn’t abandon you. How can you twist this into me harboring ill intentions? To accuse me like this... you’re completely disregarding our family ties!”

Li Aiguo spoke with righteous indignation, a hint of grievance in his expression, as if he were the one being truly wronged.

Su Qing watched him, sneering inwardly. ’This man is a natural-born actor. In a different era, he could have won an Oscar.’

”Uncle, it’s impossible to know what’s in another person’s heart. And to be honest, I don’t know you at all.” Su Qing had absolutely no intention of being polite to Li Aiguo. ”Come to think of it, your trip to Lihua Village was only the second time I’ve ever seen you in my life. We can’t even be called acquaintances, can we?”

”You!” Li Aiguo felt a pang in his chest, as if her words had caught in his throat. Unable to suppress his anger any longer, he slammed his hand on the table. ”Qingqing, what in the world do you want? I brought you here out of the goodness of my heart, and you just throw it back in my face!”

”Heh. You know perfectly well whether your intentions were good or not. Do you really want me to spell it out? Don’t you know what you’ve done?” Su Qing sneered. ”Uncle, putting everything else aside, just look at how your family has treated me in the short time I’ve been here. I don’t think I can stay. Since that’s the case, I’ll get out of your way. I’ll go stay at a guesthouse myself.”

With that, Su Qing turned to walk out.

’I know Li Aiguo and Zhao Li’e harmed Li Wan in the past, and now they want to harm me too. Of course I’m not staying here,’ Su Qing thought. ’Besides, they seem terrified of someone seeing my face, so they won’t let this go. Even if I don’t stay at the Li family home, they won’t give up. I’m curious to see what they’ll try next.’

Su Qing’s words made Li Aiguo’s heart lurch. For a moment, he wondered if she knew something.

He recalled how guarded she had been when he went to Lihua Village to get her, and now her current attitude only amplified his unease. ’This won’t do,’ he thought. ’I need to call Beijing right away and get some clear answers.’

’As for Su Qing... I’ll have to find another way to handle her.’

With this in mind, Li Aiguo made no move to stop Su Qing. Li Xiaojuan, however, did.

Seeing Su Qing about to leave, Li Xiaojuan rushed forward and shouted, ”Su Qing, don’t you dare leave! You seriously injured my mother. Do you think you can just walk away from this?”

Hearing this, Su Qing turned to face Li Xiaojuan, her fingers itching for a fight. If Li Xiaojuan was looking for a beating, Su Qing wouldn’t mind obliging.

Seeing that Li Xiaojuan was about to say more, Li Aiguo cut her off. ”That’s enough. Qingqing is just confused right now; it might be good for her to cool down. Xiao Juan, stop talking.”

Then, Li Aiguo turned back to Su Qing. ”Qingqing, you’ve misunderstood me, and it’s hard to explain everything right now. How about this: you go stay at a guesthouse for now. We can all cool off, and we’ll talk properly later.”

”Sure, we can talk later.” Su Qing gave a faint smile. ’Right now, the priority is getting Li Wan treated. As for Li Aiguo and his family, there’s no rush. I’ll deal with them slowly, in my own time. I’m sure there’s someone else pulling the strings behind him... like that aunt of mine who has yet to make an appearance.’

Watching Su Qing leave just like that, Zhao Li’e frowned. ”Aiguo, something’s off about that girl, Su Qing. Do you think she knows something?”

”I’m not sure.” The same suspicion was nagging at Li Aiguo. His main worry was that Su Qing had already been in close contact with the Beijing City Li Family. If that were the case, things could get complicated.

”Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?” Li Xiaojuan, standing nearby, was completely baffled.

Li Xiaodong, who had been silent until now, spoke up. ”Dad, you need to handle this properly. I like this Su Qing.”
