Sold for 300, I Fight Back with Superpowers

Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Apprehensive

Li Xiaodong’s words stunned the rest of the Li family.

Li Xiaojuan’s eyes went wide. "Brother, what are you talking about? You like that psycho? Did you forget how she beat me? And she beat you, too! How could you possibly like her? Do you have a death wish?"

Zhao Li’e chimed in, "Xiao Dong, she’s a jinx who brings misfortune to her parents! You can’t marry her. A menace like that must never step foot in our Li family’s home."

"Wait, that’s not right. Su Qing is our cousin! We’re close relatives; we can’t get married! Brother, you’ve really lost your mind," Li Xiaojuan exclaimed after her initial shock, having come to her senses.

Li Xiaodong glanced at his clueless, silly sister and couldn’t help but curl his lip. "What do you know?"

After saying that, Li Xiaodong simply told Li Aiguo and Zhao Li’e, "I’ve set my sights on Su Qing."

Then, without a backward glance, Li Xiaodong ran back to his room.

Zhao Li’e was stunned for a moment, then she slapped her thigh. "That damn girl! She’s a true vixen, just like her mother!"

Li Xiaojuan was dumbfounded by her brother’s words. She looked at Li Aiguo, then at Zhao Li’e. "Dad, Mom, what on earth does he mean?"

"He’s just talking nonsense," Li Aiguo said, his face dark.

Li Xiaojuan stomped her foot. "Dad, Mom, you have to do something about him! If this gets out, our family will become a laughingstock."

"Alright, everyone go back to your rooms for now," Li Aiguo said with a frown. He then added to Li Xiaojuan, "Xiao Juan, go back to your own room."

Seeing that Li Aiguo and Zhao Li’e were ignoring her, Li Xiaojuan became furious. She stomped her foot hard again and stormed back to her room.

Li Aiguo tried to place a call to Beijing, but it wouldn’t connect, so he had to hang up. He wouldn’t dare call Li Yuan’s home directly about something like this.

Once back in their own room, Zhao Li’e fretted with a frown, "Aiguo, do you think that wretched girl actually knows something? Why else would she have this attitude?"

"I don’t know." Li Aiguo ran a hand through his hair in frustration. He felt a growing unease. It seemed like ever since they’d learned Su Qing had run away from the Northeast, nothing had gone right. One problem after another kept cropping up. Now, he could only hope the Li family in Beijing wouldn’t notice Su Qing’s existence.

’Otherwise...’

Li Aiguo didn’t dare to think any further. He said, "Alright, just get some rest. I’ll make a plan after I get in touch with Little Yuan. Also, I wonder if the police have found Li Wan yet."

At the mention of Li Wan, Zhao Li’e gritted her teeth. "I wonder who on earth that person who took Li Wan is. Damn them! They’re deliberately trying to make trouble for our family!"

’One thing after another, and not a single one goes our way?’

Zhao Li’e gritted her teeth in anger but accidentally pulled at the wound on her face, making her cry out in pain.

Meanwhile, after Su Qing left the Li family’s home, she found a guesthouse to stay in. The next morning, she went out to look around. As luck would have it, she came across a family that was selling their small courtyard home. Su Qing took a look. It had three main rooms and a kitchen. The courtyard wasn’t large, but it was tidy, and the price was right—just over a thousand yuan. So, Su Qing bought the courtyard on the spot. Afterward, she went to the post and telecommunications office to call the brigade headquarters in Lihua Village, telling Zhao Youcai that she would be staying in Jia City for a while longer. Then, she headed to the bamboo forest again.

When he saw Su Qing arrive, Gu Xinsheng smiled and said, "You’re just in time. I’m taking your mother to Beijing tomorrow. I’ve already contacted a very famous neurology expert in Beijing. You should come with us."

Su Qing hadn’t expected Gu Xinsheng to find a doctor so quickly. She thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright."

Then, Su Qing asked, "You’ve already taken care of things with the police?"

"Of course," Gu Xinsheng said with a smile. "The Li family won’t be finding your mother anytime soon, I imagine."

Gu Xinsheng hadn’t been idle these past few days. However, even he hadn’t expected to contact that neurology expert so quickly. Because of this, his original plans would have to change.

’The Li family won’t be able to pull any more tricks now. Since Gu Xinsheng has found a doctor, I’ll focus on Li Wan first. As for the Li family, I can deal with them later.’

So, the next day, Su Qing went with Gu Xinsheng and Li Wan to Beijing. What surprised Su Qing was that they were actually taking a plane.

After all, it was very difficult for ordinary people to travel by plane in that era.

’I knew Gu Xinsheng was a man with some power, but I never expected him to be this capable. Still, since he hasn’t brought it up, I won’t ask. In the end, he’s doing all this for Li Wan. I’m just benefiting from his affection for her.’

After arriving in Beijing, Li Wan was quickly taken to the neurology department at Beijing First Hospital for a consultation with specialists. Her attending physician was none other than the neurology expert Gu Xinsheng had mentioned, Huo Yafeng.

"Don’t worry. Doctor Huo is a top professional in the field of neurology. I’m sure your mother’s illness can be cured."

The specialists were in consultation, so Su Qing and Gu Xinsheng could only wait outside for news. In truth, Gu Xinsheng was just as anxious, but he still tried to comfort Su Qing. He didn’t know if he was trying to encourage her or himself. This man, who had faced countless dangerous missions without so much as a frown, was completely unaware of the irrepressible tremor in his own voice.
