Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 72: Gao Huabin Was Targeted
Suddenly, Su Yijia laughed, "Why be angry? All the actions you’ve taken are correct. As long as I have a clear conscience, why should I be afraid? Besides, it’s just a small matter. You can ask me anything, and I’ll answer. Feel free to investigate whatever you want; I haven’t engaged in any illegal activities. If I were to seek help from others, wouldn’t that mean dragging my close ones into murky waters? I have no reason to create problems for myself."
"Sorry, it’s just my duty," Ke Zeming said, standing up and nodding to Su Yijia.
Before he could finish speaking, a figure suddenly rushed past her, delivering a powerful kick to Ke Zeming’s abdomen, sending him flying. The same person then grabbed Ke Zeming, who was lying on the ground, and landed a hard punch on his face.
"You bastard! Is this how you treat our sister-in-law? Do you have any respect for our leader?" Gao Huabin yelled angrily.
He had gone to Ke Zeming for help, hoping he would protect his sister-in-law. Little did he know that Ke Zeming had brought others along and immediately resorted to foul play, tying him up. Not only did he not trust his sister-in-law, but he also used her as bait.
Although his sister-in-law didn’t appear injured, Ke Zeming’s lack of respect was inexcusable.
"I’ll deal with you later when we return. I’ll make amends to Kaize," Ke Zeming said, not retaliating or showing anger. When he mentioned Qin Kaize, he seemed a bit uneasy. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
He discreetly glanced at the girl beside him. Seeing that Su Yijia had calmed down after the initial shock, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Work was work, but he was also afraid that because of this, Kaize’s wife would mess around when she went back. If she turned out to be a bad person, it wouldn’t matter if their relationship ended. However, his intuition told him that the girl in front of him was not a bad person, and it was just an unfortunate coincidence. But if that were the case, and they drove away a woman who genuinely cared for Kaize, he wouldn’t be able to find another one to make it up to him.
Su Yijia looked at Professor Li being supported inside and smiled apologetically, "I’m sorry, I had no choice but to kick you out earlier. I hope I didn’t hurt you."
"It’s fine. I know you were trying to protect me," Professor Li said, not too concerned.
Su Yijia didn’t dare to say more, fearing further suspicion. Professor Li continued, "I heard you wanted to buy a two to three-year-old hen to make soup for your husband."
"Yes," Su Yijia nodded quickly, then looked at him expectantly.
Professor Li found her straightforwardness quite charming. "My family happens to have a hen that’s about two and a half years old. I’ll give it to you as a gift. It’s also a way of repaying you for helping us and saving my life."
"Thank you, Professor Li," Su Yijia accepted the offer without any hesitation or false modesty. She took the hen, and her debt to the Li family was now considered paid.
Her mission was complete, and she wouldn’t have any more contact with Professor Li in the future. If there were any further contact, it would be an unnecessary complication.
Li’s elderly aunt fetched some straw, tied up the hen taken from the chicken coop, and handed it to Su Yijia. "Thank you!" She quickly hoisted the hen.
"Sister-in-law, let’s go back; it’s getting late, and the boss will be worried," Gao Huabin reminded her anxiously.
