Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 280 - : Punishing Jia Yue
Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Punishing Jia Yue
As for the original Xu Shi and Guan Hong, Liang Jiuhui had arranged more important positions for them as well. Now they were the instructors of the Fire Element and Metal Element training squads respectively, charged with the training of Metal Element and Fire Element Ability Users who had passed the base recruitment assessments.
In the base training ground, Deng Shuwei and a group of Metal Element Ability Users had already run around the training field for the 9th lap. She felt as if her legs were filled with lead, each step requiring tremendous effort.
The other Special Ability Users were not faring much better, but no one dared to complain, because their instructor, Guan Hong, was running along with them, not falling behind for a single lap…
If such a formidable instructor was pushing himself so hard, what right did they have to complain?
Deng Shuwei bit her teeth and tried her best to ignore the overwhelming fatigue, thinking of something else to distract herself.
A few days ago, after she and the people from the shantytown, including Hao Dachuan, had filled out the conscription forms, they went to the registration place to take the assessment. Surprisingly, the staff at the registration told them that they had been accepted without the assessment after glanced at their forms.
...
This astonished them. Why would such good fortune befall them? And they didn’t even have to take the assessment?
Eventually, Deng Shuwei noticed that their conscription forms were different from those of the others taking the assessments, and the staff recognized this with just a glance.
Liang Jiuhui had even clarified the reason for their exceptional recruitment during the enlistment ceremony for all to hear.
Those who had been looking at them through prejudiced lenses had nothing to say after that.
It was simply because Liang Jiuhui said that they were already qualified warriors.
With that thought, Deng Shuwei smiled and no longer felt the exhaustion of running; she was a warrior now and couldn’t afford to be winded by just running!
The person beside her watched in astonishment as the petite young woman seemed to be on an adrenaline rush, overtaking them one by one. Could this actually be her tactic?
Meanwhile, Fang Jingfu’s life in the villa wasn’t as pleasant as she had imagined, especially dealing with Jia Kaiji’s daughter. Although she lived under the same roof as Jia Yue, Jia Yue always treated her as if she were invisible, passing by without any expression even if they crossed paths.
“Yuer, your father said there are some eggs and milk left in the house; he wants you to bring them to me so I can nourish my body,” Fang Jingfu said condescendingly to Jia Yue, who was sitting on the sofa.
Jia Kaiji had to go out to work during the day, so it was just Fang Jingfu and Jia Yue at home. Earlier Jia Kaiji had mentioned that she, Fang Jingfu, was too thin and needed to be well-nourished. Since Jia Yue was in charge of the household supplies, he said Fang Jingfu could simply ask Jia Yue for them.
After asking several times, Fang Jingfu saw that Jia Yue remained engrossed in a piano game on her phone, not even looking up once. This ignited Fang Jingfu’s anger.
“Jia Yue, I suggest you stop being hostile towards me. Your father said that sooner or later you’ll be married off. I will be the lady of the house!” Fang Jingfu was so angry that she blurted out the pillow talk Jia Kaiji had shared with her. She didn’t care what Jia Yue thought; she wanted to express Jia Kaiji’s true intentions and see how long the young girl could remain smug!
As expected, Jia Yue’s fingers stalled for a moment. The keyboard, sounding notes previously, now showed many MISSes. As the game-ending tone sounded, she couldn’t help but give a self-deprecating smile and said, “Eggs and milk? I’ve already eaten them all. I suggest you ask father for more, ‘lady of the house’.”
“You! You did that on purpose, didn’t you? I’m telling you, Fang Jingfu is not so easily bullied. You just wait!” Fang Jingfu spat out venomously and stormed forward.
But halfway through, she turned back, hurried over to Jia Yue, grabbed the mobile phone from the coffee table, and slammed it to the ground!
Jia Yue, faced with Fang Jingfu’s defiant smirk, felt her upbringing, which always discouraged violence, waver. Nevertheless, she formed a Wind Ball in her hand and hurled it fiercely at Fang Jingfu!

She loved to play the piano, and the piano game on that phone had been her only source of entertainment since the Apocalypse began. Whenever she wanted to play, she’d use the game to relieve stress. And now Fang Jingfu had…
“Ahhh, it hurts so much!!!”
Although she was hit by Jia Yue’s Wind Ball, Fang Jingfu’s position meant she only fell backward onto the sofa cushion. She slid off the sofa with exaggerated cries of pain.
Jia Yue was stunned. She had merely knocked the woman onto the sofa; could that really cause her so much pain?
“Yuer! What are you doing!”
As soon as Jia Kaiji pushed the door open, he saw this scene.
In his eyes, Fang Jingfu was lying at Jia Yue’s feet, covering her stomach and crying desperately, while Jia Yue just looked at him in surprise. It was obvious that Jia Yue had done something to Ah Fu.
“Dad, she was the one who broke my…”
Jia Yue hadn’t finished her sentence when Jia Kaiji, who had walked up to her, slapped her across the face.
Jia Kaiji was a Fire Element Ability User, and he was strong; he didn’t hold back with the slap he delivered.
Jia Yue was knocked against the hard edge of the table, but she bore the pain without crying out, only looking at Jia Kaiji in disbelief.
The still-prostrate Fang Jingfu saw this and smiled.
She had just earlier moved to the front when she heard the noise at the door, guessing that it was undoubtedly Jia Kaiji who would return at this time; therefore, she had come up with this way to punish Jia Yue on the spot. She hadn’t expected it to work so well.
“Ah Fu, how are you feeling?”
Jia Kaiji looked at her stomach with concern. Fang Jingfu’s stomach was meant to bear him a son, and it absolutely could not be harmed.
“I’m, I’m alright, it was my own carelessness. I damaged Yuer’s phone, and she, she…”
Fang Jingfu couldn’t help but start crying again after speaking.
After hearing this, Jia Kaiji took a deep breath and, pointing at Jia Yue, who now had a swollen half of her face, said, “Yuer, do you have any manners at all?! Huh? I told you to get along with Ah Fu, and this is how you treat her?”
Jia Yue hung her head.
When she raised it again, her eyes were cold as ice. She bit her lip and said, “Father, it’s my fault, I was too impulsive.”
Fang Jingfu hadn’t expected Jia Yue to admit her fault so quickly; she had thought Jia Yue would be stubborn.
However, Jia Kaiji appeared very satisfied with Jia Yue’s reaction, saying nothing more, but he still carefully examined Fang Jingfu’s abdomen to find it was only a bit red.
The farce ended with Jia Yue’s concession. Just as she was picking up her shattered phone from the ground to leave, Jia Kaiji called out to her.
“Father, may I ask if there is anything else?”
Jia Yue’s voice was calm, betraying no emotion.
But Jia Kaiji did not mind her tone, as he leaned on the couch and said, “Yuer, awakening your Special Ability is Heaven’s blessing. You must follow your father closely and work hard.”
“Father?”
Jia Yue did not quite understand what he meant.
“Starting tomorrow, follow me closely.”
Jia Kaiji said with a smile, and he would surely have what Liang Jiuhui that guy had, a haughty secretary of his own.
“All right, Father.”
After speaking, Jia Yue turned and walked back to her room, a single tear finally falling onto the wooden floor, but the Jia Kaiji behind her did not notice.
