“Yingxue, it’s true that I didn’t pay enough attention to you before, and I didn’t consider your feelings about my remarriage. From now on, I will make it up to you,” He Qingyun said softly to He Yingxue.
Hearing He Qingyun’s words, He Yingxue just felt like laughing.
However, she just kept a cold expression and said nothing.
It seemed that even now, He Qingyun still didn’t understand why she had such a big conflict with her stepmother and her two half-brothers.
Did he think she was like this because her stepmother gave birth to two brothers and they were fighting over family property? If her stepmother and two brothers hadn’t secretly ostracized her, mocked her, and then pretended to be so good to her face, why would she have been so intent on being at odds with her stepmother and two brothers?
It was only because He Yingxue’s maternal grandfather and two maternal uncles were high-ranking federal officials; otherwise, she probably would have been targeted and killed by that bitch Li Wenqian when she was young.
The reason the other party didn’t dare to kill her was probably because they considered the investigation and revenge from her maternal grandfather and uncles if she died.
Although after her mother’s death, her family’s relationship with her maternal grandfather and uncles wasn’t that great.
After thinking for a moment, He Yingxue said to He Qingyun, “Old man, I won’t say anything else, but first, you need to handle the inheritance procedures for my mother’s estate. I only want what my mother left me; I don’t want a single cent of your property. Just leave it for your two sons to inherit.”
Hearing He Yingxue’s distinction, He Qingyun’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Actually, he had never thought of annexing what his ex-wife left for his daughter, but his daughter speaking to him like that truly made him uncomfortable.
However, his daughter was now a powerful mage.
Moreover, he knew that it hadn’t even been a week since his daughter was first forcibly pulled into the game.
For his daughter to become a mage who learned Fireball so quickly showed how powerful her talent and ability were in the game world.
Such a person, if willing to join the official forces, could directly become a military officer, and as long as no accidents occurred, she could become a division-level officer in ten years and a general in twenty years.
Most importantly, with He Yingxue’s powerful talent and ability, the longer she developed in the game, the stronger she would become.
Ordinary people might not know how terrifying those who developed in the game were, but he knew.
For example, the Shen family in the capital, the Shen Family Old Ancestor, could be called a living immortal; not only had he lived for several hundred years, but he could also fly and burrow through the earth. In the entire world, there was no one who could stop him if he wanted to kill them.
Considering the talent He Yingxue was currently displaying, if she didn’t perish midway, she would likely become someone like the Shen Family Old Ancestor in the future.
It was also due to this consideration that He Qingyun wanted to mend his relationship with his daughter.
“Alright, tomorrow I’ll have someone handle your mother’s inheritance matter for you.”
In the end, He Qingyun still compromised.
Let his daughter curse him as an old man; after all, she was his own daughter, the only daughter he had with the woman he loved most.
Hearing He Qingyun’s words, Li Wenqian and her son, who were nearby, both looked very displeased.
However, they had no other choice.
He Yingxue was now a powerful mage. If they tried to stop her now, it might provoke He Yingxue, and heaven knew what a provoked He Yingxue might do.
What if, what if He Yingxue directly used magic to kill them, mother and son? In such a situation, even if He Yingxue were eventually sentenced, what good would it do? They would have already lost their own lives.
“I’ll come to the company to find you tomorrow. I only want my mother’s inheritance; I don’t want anything else,” He Yingxue said to the old man, then turned and left the mansion.
After He Yingxue left, He Qingyun finally called a private doctor to the mansion to examine his son’s face, which He Yingxue had injured.
That evening, He Qingyun’s other eldest son returned home.
As soon as he returned, his mother, Li Wenqian, pulled him into a room.
At this moment, the mother and two sons were finally gathered together.
“Mom, what do we do now? That little bitch He Yingxue is about to inherit half of the family fortune,” the younger son said anxiously to his mother.
“Your father will definitely transfer the inheritance He Yingxue’s mother left him to He Yingxue’s name this time. We probably can’t stop it.”
“Sigh! Who would have thought that He Yingxue would become a mage? In this situation, even if she doesn’t inherit a single cent, she will develop better than her father in the future.”
“If only we had known, we shouldn’t have ostracized her before. If I had treated her well in the past, now that she’s become a mage, she would be a powerful backing for us in the future.”
“Sigh! One wrong step leads to many wrong steps.”
“Mom, if He Yingxue becomes powerful in the future, will she take revenge on us?” the eldest son asked Li Wenqian.
Hearing this, Li Wenqian thought for a moment, then shook her head: “Based on what I know about He Yingxue, she probably won’t. Even if she seeks revenge, it will be on me, not on you two. After all, you are her brothers, He Qingyun’s sons.”
“Even if she takes revenge on you, Mom, that’s not okay! Don’t we have any way to eliminate her threat?” the younger son asked his mother.
“How to solve it? Find someone to kill her? Who? Even if she’s killed, will her maternal grandfather and two maternal uncles let it go?”
“Moreover, what’s the use of killing her? Her mother’s inheritance won’t fall into your hands then either.”
“I originally forced her to re-enter the game world, hoping she would die in the game world. My plan only succeeded halfway. I didn’t expect her to become a mage in the game world. In this situation, we probably won’t have another chance to get rid of her,” Li Wenqian said, shaking her head at her two sons.
The reason He Yingxue, after barely surviving and returning from the game world, chose to re-enter was actually all her doing.
The day after He Yingxue returned alive, she deliberately instigated conflict between He Yingxue and her father, causing them to have a big argument.
When He Yingxue was somewhat disheartened, she then had the servants in the mansion casually chat, saying how good it would be if their children could become espers in the game world, and then their children would become superior beings, and no one would dare to bully them, and so on.
Sure enough, He Yingxue fell for it after hearing such words and quickly re-entered the game.
It was just that she never expected He Yingxue to become a mage.
Before setting up the trap, Li Wenqian had inquired about the situation in detail: it would take at least half a year for a person to become an esper.
And the survival rate for those who re-entered the game and persisted for that half-year was less than one in a thousand.
However, once officially becoming an esper, their survival rate in the game would significantly increase, with most being able to live for several decades.
If they were lucky enough to become a strong person above the third rank, then even a big businessman like He Qingyun would respectfully bow to them upon meeting.
If they were a strong person above the fourth rank, a big businessman like He Qingyun probably wouldn’t even have the chance to meet them.
If one became a top-tier fifth-rank expert, even heads of state couldn’t just meet them whenever they wanted.
As for the sixth rank, currently there were only three globally, and each of them was the pillar of their respective nations. As long as they were there, no country would dare to go too far against them.
For example, the small African country of Malta, because a sixth-rank expert emerged there, not only did its national territory expand from palm-sized to half the size of China.
Moreover, during this process, other countries dared not interfere with anything in this country.
Initially, the US president tried to stop Malta’s expansion, but the next day he died at home.
A sixth-rank expert was that terrifying, that intimidating.
A sixth-rank expert’s deterrent power was much greater than a nuclear bomb.
Countries with nuclear bombs might not dare to use them easily, but with a sixth-rank expert, if you dare to offend them, your head will soon be on the ground.
