"Do you speak to your parents like that?" Tang Ru scolded. "You ungrateful wretch! We raised you for nothing. If you had obediently followed our family's arrangements, your father and I could have lived very comfortably. But you insisted on defying us, so what use are you to us?"
"Enough!" Li Se's voice was a cold command, instantly quieting the arrogant and overbearing Tang Ru.
At that moment, Tang Ru and the others met Li Se's terrifying gaze, their hearts trembling. How could his eyes be so fearsome?
"Get out, all of you!" Li Se's gaze was chilling as he swept over Tang Ru and the others.
"How dare you speak to me like that?" Tang Ru was unwilling to leave.
Zhang Li snorted, "We can leave, but give us back our daughter. We want to take her back to the capital. As I said before, if you want to marry my daughter, it's simple: this company will be your betrothal gift..."
"Get out!" Zhang Aimin screamed hysterically.
"Did you hear that?" Li Se's eyes held a chilling glint. "If you don't leave, I'll escort you out!"
Seeing that Li Se seemed about to make a move, Tang Ru and Zhang Li felt a degree of apprehension. However, as they left, they still spat out threats.
"Xiao Min, you are a member of the Zhang family. You must act for my and your father's benefit. This company must be managed by your father, or you can forget about marrying him!" kuAiδugg
"That's right, we are your parents and have the right to make this decision..."
They gradually moved away, their voices fading into the distance.
"Sister Min, are you alright?" Li Se asked, trying to comfort her.
"I... I'm sorry," Zhang Aimin said with an apologetic expression.
"Cry if you need to," Li Se sighed softly. After all, they were Zhang Aimin's parents, and he couldn't be too harsh. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Tang Ru and Zhang Li continue their tirade. But this Zhang family had truly opened his eyes; they didn't treat Zhang Aimin like a daughter at all, but merely as a tool for making money.
Zhang Aimin finally couldn't hold back, weeping in Li Se's arms. However, after only a few minutes of crying, she wiped away her tears and quickly regained her composure, smiling. "I won't shed tears for them anymore."
"What are your plans?" Li Se asked.
Zhang Aimin seemed to have changed significantly at this moment. She looked towards the door, a hint of determination in her eyes. "That old scoundrel Zhang Mao won't live much longer. I will become the leader of the Zhang family!"
"I support you!" Li Se naturally stood by Zhang Aimin's side.
He went to the hospital again. Although only half a day had passed, Li Se still administered acupuncture to Madam Zhou.
"Thank you..." Madam Zhou's voice was weak, but she had been somewhat conscious when Li Se rescued her from the car today. She remembered his face. If it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't be alive now.
"Madam Zhou, I'll come back in a few days to check on you again," Li Se said with a smile.
"Yes!" Madam Zhou nodded. She needed rest, so Li Se didn't stay in the ward for long after the acupuncture and soon left.
"I apologize for what happened with our Deputy Minister today," Zhou Yuan said apologetically. This was his savior, yet the Ministry of Health had come looking for trouble with him in the afternoon.
