Chapter 870: Chapter 911: Su Yiyi Slaps Someone
Several young men were gathering at the entrance of the hospital room, and Chu Xiaoyao and Su Yiyi were blocking the doorway. At this time, several doctors and nurses were staying far away.
"You little girls, if you want to stay in this room, just kiss each one of us here, and we’ll let you occupy this room."
"Haha, if you spend the night with us, then you can stay here as long as you want."
Chu Xiaoyao’s voice then rose, "Shut up! Shut up! Get out! When Brother Li comes back, he will definitely kill you all." She was obviously very angry and somewhat frantic.
"You little girl has quite the mouth, talking about uncle all the time, but we haven’t seen your uncle stand up for you?"
"That’s right, these days, little girls like older men. Look at me, I’m an uncle too. Surely I’m more majestic than yours. You should just follow me instead."
Those people kept using filthy language, completely indecent and unbearable. Although Chu Xiaoyao was good at retorting, the opponents were many and she could only say some harsh words during the argument. Those obscene words were exactly what these street thugs excelled at.
At that moment, she was so angry that her face turned crimson and tears were about to stream down.
Su Yiyi’s face turned pale, and she bit her lip tightly. She wasn’t good at cursing, but the way they kept hurling insults was truly unbearable for her. She opened her mouth several times but didn’t know how to deal with these thugs.
"Ah, you poor girl, I heard your parents both died. They must have been driven to death by you. Just go hang around with old men, such an undutiful daughter. If I were your parents, I would have been driven to death by you too."
"That’s right, these days kids don’t learn anything good. If they don’t wise up early, they start sleeping around."
"I wonder if her parents knew from beneath the springs, would they be so upset they’d come back to life."
The death of her parents was always a sore spot for Chu Xiaoyao. Although their death had nothing to do with Chu Xiaoyao, she still blamed herself deeply. At that time she was angry with her parents and wasn’t at home. If she had been there, her parents wouldn’t have died. Even though she didn’t say it, her heart was always saddened by this.
Being stung by their words now, Chu Xiaoyao felt a surge of emotion and screamed, "I’m going to fight you all," and attempted to rush at them, but her body swayed, and she almost fell.
Su Yiyi quickly supported her and anxiously asked, "Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao, are you alright?"
At this moment, Chu Xiaoyao felt completely weak and suddenly hugged Su Yiyi, crying, "Sister Yiyi, my parents weren’t driven to death by me, really..."
"I know, I know." Su Yiyi was patting Chu Xiaoyao’s shoulders and then shouted at the group, "Haven’t you had enough?"
These people had been instigated by Tang Xinghuai to humiliate Chu Xiaoyao as much as possible. Seeing her cry and still refusing to stop, one of them smirked, "Hmpf, crying now? Did we strike a nerve? Now you know to cry, but what about before?"
"That’s right, if you knew how to be modest earlier, it wouldn’t have come to this. Who are you crying for now?"
Chu Xiaoyao was even more infuriated, hardly able to breathe.
"You..." Su Yiyi was pointing at them, her face turning green with anger.
"Seeing you with this kind of trashy girl, you must be just like her. Really, one can’t judge by appearances. You look so innocent, but the things you do are definitely not up to par."
Listening to their words, Su Yiyi’s complexion grew uglier, especially as she stared down the most disgusting speaker, a fat man whose spit flew as he talked, his belly quivering. He was one of Tang Xinghuai’s trusted subordinates, and he was the one who brought these people here to slander Chu Xiaoyao.
The fat man grew more excited as he talked. Seeing Su Yiyi and Chu Xiaoyao’s ashen faces, he laughed triumphantly, "Haha, see? I hit the nail on the head, didn’t I? Nothing left to say now, right? Let everyone see what kind of people you are!"
"Slap!"
A crisp slap suddenly echoed, silencing everyone and making them stare in shock at Su Yiyi, as the slap had come from her, a seemingly fragile girl daring to hit someone.
Chu Xiaoyao was stunned at that moment. Throughout her acquaintance with Su Yiyi, Su Yiyi had never even raised her voice at someone, let alone hit someone. It was exceedingly rare for her to even show slight anger towards others, but today, she actually struck someone, and did so decisively and forcefully. A vivid red palm print, matching the shape of Su Yiyi’s delicate hand, was left on the fat man’s cheek.
At that moment, Su Yiyi’s face was tense, and her usually teary eyes were filled with fierce determination as she fearlessly stared at the fat man she had hit.
Honest people, when they do get angry, often react with greater fury. Su Yiyi was usually very kind and always tried to treat people well, but today, she could no longer tolerate being humiliated. Chu Xiaoyao was her good friend, who was now nearly fainting from anger, so Su Yiyi felt she must stand up for her—even if it meant resorting to violence.
However, after striking the man, her initial surge of boldness subsided, and she began to feel timid, her chest heaving rapidly and her body slightly trembling. Nonetheless, she silently encouraged herself. No matter what, she couldn’t let these people intimidate her. As long as Brother Li returned, she wouldn’t have to be afraid of anything. She just needed to hold on until Li Yifei arrived.
"You dare hit me, you wretched girl!" the fat man finally regained his senses, feeling utterly humiliated. He was a grown man and being struck by a girl was embarrassing. If word got out, how could he show his face? Rage consumed him and evil thoughts arose. After cursing, he fiercely swung his hand, aiming a slap at Su Yiyi’s face.
His hand was so large that one slap could easily knock Su Yiyi unconscious, causing Chu Xiaoyao to scream in terror.
But the man’s slap was abruptly stopped mid-air; a hand, strong as a tiger’s pincer, had grasped his wrist. It was Li Yifei, who had arrived just in time.
"Uncle, Brother Li!" both Chu Xiaoyao and Su Yiyi exclaimed with relief. With Li Yifei’s return, they felt secure against even the gravest danger.
"F*ck, let go of me!" the fat man struggled, twisting his arm, trying to break free using his own strength, but despite several attempts, his face turning beet red, he couldn’t budge at all. Instead, he felt the grip on his wrist tighten, as if it could break his bones.
The fat man initially wanted to tough it out, but the pain was unbearable, and he wasn’t a person of strong will. Unable to bear the pain any longer, he started crying out and begging repeatedly, "Brother, Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, please let go..."
Li Yifei snorted and with a flick of his wrist, hurled the hefty, approximately 440-pound man out. The impact knocked back two others behind him until they hit a wall and stopped.
Though Li Yifei had not shown off on purpose, these people were not fools. A 440-pound man tossed aside with such ease indicated the incredible strength Li Yifei possessed. Especially standing there, his stature mountainous, his expression stern, and his gaze disdainful, making them realize he was not someone to provoke lightly. Even with six or seven of them, they were uncertain they could overcome this one man.
Then, Li Yifei turned to Su Yiyi and Chu Xiaoyao and asked, "Yiyi, Xiaoyao, who else was insulting you just now?"
Chu Xiaoyao immediately pointed at the group and said, "They all did, they all did, Uncle... Wuu, what they said was so awful!"
For once, Chu Xiaoyao truly cried. Tears streamed down her cheeks unremittingly. Apart from the death of her parents, the times Chu Xiaoyao had wept in front of Li Yifei were nearly all for show, but today, she was genuinely distressed, wronged, and heartbroken.
"Good! Uncle will avenge you." Li Yifei gave Chu Xiaoyao a reassuring pat, then his gaze swept over the crowd.
At that moment, Su Yiyi whispered to Li Yifei, "Brother Li, this is a hospital..."
Li Yifei gave Su Yiyi a comforting look and said, "Don’t worry, these jerks have been in the hospital for so long and no staff member has intervened. I’ll teach them a lesson and see who dares to stop me."
Li Yifei was indeed annoyed. These people were just too much. If it were someone else instead of him, wouldn’t they have been driven out of the hospital room?
"What are you going to do?" The men all watched Li Yifei warily, his presence alone suppressing theirs.
Li Yifei didn’t say anything, but suddenly stepped forward and swung his hand repeatedly. The sound of slaps filled the air, and each of the six or seven men received heavy slaps on both cheeks.
"Tell that kid never to bother me again, otherwise... get lost!"
With a stern shout from Li Yifei, the group of men who had been slapped trembled, and not daring even to exchange a few words, they scampered away.
Although the hallway wasn’t crowded, many were peeking from their hospital room doors. Witnessing one man chasing off a group left them all dumbstruck. This was truly impressive.
They all speculated who Li Yifei really was, as it seemed that no one in Mile City had heard of such an imposing figure before.
Li Yifei then looked at Su Yiyi, whose face instantly turned red as she fidgeted with her clothes, feeling extremely embarrassed about having hit someone earlier.
