First Uncle said through gritted teeth, "Boy, you put us in detention for so long. Why don't you apologize and pay us now? Otherwise, you're going to suffer."
"Not many people dare to make me apologize," Yi Jinli said lazily.
Ling Yiran was confused. 'What's going on? First Uncle and Second Uncle were still afraid of Jin at first, but after what Third Aunt said, they’ve changed their attitude completely.
'Could it be that Third Aunt's daughter, Sis Lifang, has found a backup?'
However, she remembered that Sis Lifang ran a small smithy with her husband, earning only a modest income about the same as most of the town's residents. What kind of backup could she have?
"All right, you're not apologizing, are you? Even if you get down on your knees and apologize later, it won't be over that easily!" First Uncle said fiercely.
As if watching a play, Third Aunt said leisurely, "Yiran, as your aunt, I must warn you to ask your boyfriend to apologize to your First Uncle and Second Uncle and make it up to them. You know your Sis Lifang is close with your First Uncle and Second Uncle. She wouldn't want to see her uncles getting bullied."
Only then did Ling Yiran realize the way Third Aunt dressed was not the same as before. On closer inspection, her clothes looked well-made and were probably expensive. Besides, she was wearing diamond rings and gold bangles, which made her look like... She had made a fortune.
Third Aunt's voice continued ringing, "Your Sis Lifang is not what she used to be. She has a powerful man backing her now. If you annoy her, tsk tsk..."
"A powerful man?" Yi Jinli laughed sarcastically. "That's great. I'd like to meet this powerful man!"
"Who do you think you are? There are some people in this world you can't afford to offend!" Third Aunt glared at Yi Jinli, looking as if she would make him regret it later.
