If it were before, she would have been afraid of He Qingyun's scolding.
But now...
"He was the one who disrespected me, his elder sister, first. The moment I arrived, he started making sarcastic remarks. Who else should I hit if not him?" He Yingxue said calmly to He Qingyun.
Hearing He Yingxue's words, the young man beside her immediately retorted, "Dad, I didn't. He Yingxue picked a fight with me the moment she arrived, and then she hit me."
At this moment, a middle-aged woman quickly ran out from the staircase on the first floor.
"Son, how are you? Are you okay?" The woman was very concerned about the young man's condition.
But when she saw that her son's face was swollen red from He Yingxue's slap, her gaze immediately turned sharp.
However, she questioned He Yingxue softly, "Xiaoxue, why did you hit your younger brother? Look at how you hit him; his face is all swollen."
After speaking, she complained to He Qingyun on the second floor, "Old He, come and see; your son's face is swollen. Quickly take him to the hospital."
Hearing the woman's words, the young man beside her swayed, then also said to He Qingyun, "Dad, my face hurts so much, and I feel a bit dizzy."
At this moment, He Qingyun also quickly walked down from the second floor.
He first went to his son and looked at him. After discovering that his son's face was indeed swollen, his gaze towards He Yingxue immediately became unfriendly.
"He Yingxue, look at what you've done to your brother. Are you even an elder sister? It's fine if you don't come back normally, but the moment you do, you hit people. What do you want to do?" He Qingyun questioned He Yingxue loudly.
"Old geezer, he was making sarcastic remarks the moment I arrived, and you pretend not to see it, right? If he doesn't act like a younger brother, then I naturally won't act like an elder sister," He Yingxue retorted directly.
"You..."
He Qingyun, hearing He Yingxue's words, was instantly enraged. He raised his hand and struck fiercely towards He Yingxue's face.
However, the next moment, He Yingxue directly raised her hand and easily caught He Qingyun's swinging palm.
Seeing his hand caught, He Qingyun was furious and tried to break free, but he couldn't.
The next moment, his other hand struck towards He Yingxue's face again.
Seeing this situation, He Yingxue directly let go of him and retreated two steps.
Without a point of force, He Qingyun lost his balance even more and directly fell to the ground.
"You, you, you've gone too far..."
He Qingyun was enraged to the extreme.
He shouted, "Someone!"
Hearing He Qingyun's angry shout, soon, a group of He family servants hurried over.
At this moment, He Qingyun had already stood up.
He commanded the group of servants, "You, seize her for me."
"Master, don't."
At this moment, the previous middle-aged beautiful woman quickly stopped him.
"Master, I think Yingxue was just confused for a moment when she attacked Xing'er. I know Yingxue has always had issues with us, and that's normal. Master, please forgive Yingxue this once." The middle-aged beautiful woman patted He Qingyun's chest to calm him down while persuading him.
Hearing the middle-aged beautiful woman's words, He Qingyun angrily pointed at He Yingxue and said, "Your Aunt Qian is still speaking up for you at a time like this. Look at how you treat your Aunt Qian? Are you trying to anger me to death?"
Hearing this, He Yingxue sneered, then said calmly, "Stop pretending. You act like a good person in front of my father, but privately you're sarcastic towards me. It's a real pity that you and your son aren't actors."
Hearing He Yingxue's words, the middle-aged beautiful woman quickly said, "Yingxue, although I'm not your birth mother, you can't slander me like this.
I know you hate me for bearing your father two sons, which robbed you of your right to inherit all of your father's property, but your two younger brothers are also your father's children.
Moreover, your father has so much property; you alone couldn't spend it all in ten lifetimes. What's wrong with sharing it with your two younger brothers? Why must you target our mother and son like this?"
Hearing this, He Yingxue almost laughed in anger.
"Li Wenqian, stop acting here. Do you think I care about He Qingyun's property? You..."
He Yingxue's words were interrupted by an angry voice: "If you don't care, then don't ask me for a single penny in the future, and I won't give you any of my property either."
The speaker was none other than He Yingxue's old man, He Qingyun.
"Heh, you wish. Half of your property belongs to my mother. If you give it all to your two sons, let's see if they can survive. I don't want what's not mine, but no one can take what is mine."
He Yingxue wasn't stupid. The reason Li Wenqian and her two sons targeted her so much wasn't it because half of her father's property belonged to her?
Her mother had already made a will before her death, stating that after her death, all her shares would be inherited by her daughter, He Yingxue, once she came of age.
Originally, He Yingxue should have inherited her mother's inheritance long ago. However, because Li Wenqian and her two sons interfered and sowed discord between her and her father, she still hadn't inherited it to this day.
It wasn't that He Yingxue didn't want to inherit; it was that He Qingyun, as He Yingxue's father and guardian, although he couldn't change the inheritance rights of his ex-wife's estate, he could still talk to some departments to prevent them from processing the inheritance for his daughter.
And the main reason He Qingyun hadn't allowed his daughter to inherit her mother's inheritance for so long was that he felt this daughter was too rebellious and immature, completely as if she had been led astray. He wondered what kind of person she would become if she inherited a large sum of money.
In the living room, hearing He Yingxue's audacious remark about seeing if his two sons could survive, He Qingyun's lungs almost burst with anger.
"Rebellious daughter, you even want to kill your two younger brothers? How can you be so vicious? Come, seize her for me! I must teach her a good lesson today!"
He Qingyun loudly commanded the group of servants nearby.
Hearing He Qingyun's words, the group of servants braced themselves and were about to step forward to seize He Yingxue.
"I'd like to see who dares."
He Yingxue shouted loudly. The next moment, a volleyball-sized Fireball condensed in her hand.
The Fireball emitted scorching heat, making everyone nearby feel waves of intense warmth.
"Ability!"
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Not only did the servants in the manor exclaim in unison, but even He Qingyun, as well as Li Wenqian and her son, also had their mouths wide open, looking incredibly disbelieving.
"Ying, Yingxue, are you an Ability User?" He Qingyun asked He Yingxue with a disbelieving expression.
"Otherwise? Perhaps you can have someone try and see if my Fireball is real," He Yingxue said calmly.
Hearing this, He Qingyun's expression flickered between cloudy and clear, then he quickly ordered the group of servants, "All of you, get out."
Hearing He Qingyun's words, all the servants quickly left the manor's living room.
