Chapter 110 -110 Making Trouble Without Reason
Returning to the residential area, as I passed by Yuan Jiang’s house, I saw Lin Feifei arguing with Lin Mengmeng.
Lin Feifei still wore that self-righteous expression, “Lin Mengmeng, what gives you the right to keep me out? Grandpa is here, this is Brother Yuan Jiang’s home, what right do you have to stop me?”
Now, Lin Feifei had lost her previous pristine appearance. Her hair was greasy and tied up, her face had darkened, and her rapidly thinning face was etched with fatigue.
Lin Mengmeng’s voice was firm, “I’m doing this for your own good. We’re all separate now, so let’s just take care of ourselves. Grandpa is here, and we can provide for him. Can’t you just focus on living your own life well?”
“Lin Mengmeng, Yuan Jiang is mine, you took him from me, and Grandpa is mine too. It’s only right for me to move in.”
“Lin Feifei, you have your parents, you have a home. Why insist on causing a scene here? I’ve told you to stay away from us. I truly have your best interests at heart…”
Before Lin Feifei could finish, Lin Mengmeng pushed her aside and ran inside.
Lin Mengmeng sighed and followed behind, also entering the house.
Gu Pan whispered to Lu Ruisheng, “Looks like Lin Mengmeng and her family intend to take Old Master Lin and leave. That’s why they don’t want Lin Feifei getting too close to them for fear of involving Lin Ran’s family later on.”
Lu Ruisheng nodded, “It’s a pity Lin Feifei is seeking her own destruction. How can there be such a brainless person in the world?”
As they spoke, a somewhat familiar figure walked by, prompting Lu Ruisheng to quickly move closer to Gu Pan’s side.
Gu Pan saw Huihui approaching and didn’t know her real name. That day, her mother just called her that.
When Huihui reached them, she said to Lu Ruisheng, “My mom wants to sell me off. You couldn’t really bear to let me be defiled by others, could you?”
Clasping his wife’s hand, Lu Ruisheng felt more at ease. He said to Huihui, “What do your parents’ incompetence have to do with me? You come here to disrupt someone’s family, to steal someone else’s husband. You deserve a bad end.”
Gu Pan looked at Lu Ruisheng with admiration, “Brother, you’ve really grown in your ability to shoot back. It seems practice does indeed make perfect.”
Cheng Yang and Chen Lang stood with their mouths wide open, amazed at everything in front of them, feeling like they were gaining insight and learning something new.
Huihui looked at Lu Ruisheng in disbelief, “I’m going to be sold, a virgin at that, and you all have no sympathy?”
Gu Pan laughed, “Didn’t my husband already say? Your being sold is due to your own parents’ incompetence. What’s that got to do with us? Do we even know each other? Do we have any connection?”
Huihui truly didn’t understand, “You all have the power to help me, why can’t you lift a finger to help?”
“Because we don’t want to,” Lu Ruisheng replied. no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
Chen Lang seemed to have learned a lesson and hurried forward to put it into practice. He said to Huihui, “Are you trying to guilt-trip us? Putting on a pitiful act, trying to manipulate us with your sob story? You’re such a bad woman.”
Cheng Yang also had his switch flipped and said to Huihui, “Stop talking about gender—haven’t men and women been equal for years? While others are binding their feet, are you binding your brain? Sis, it’s the apocalypse, everyone is surviving on their own merit. Ah, right, your method counts as a merit too, but we’re not buying it. Our friends are all self-reliant, regardless of gender. Your kind, we simply look down on.”
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng had already moved to the side, leaving the stage to the youngsters. The education and mindset these two lads had received were truly commendable; it was essential in the apocalypse.
Huihui was completely flustered. What kind of people were these? These young, handsome guys, not a single one had the heart to be compassionate?
She was momentarily dumbfounded.
Gu Pan and her group walked past her, heading straight for home. After a few steps, Gu Pan looked back and said, “If this happens again, I’ll make you bleed.”
Cheng Yang and Chen Lang gave Gu Pan a thumbs-up; she really had a commanding presence. They needed to work harder and learn from her in the future.
Meanwhile, Huihui had realized that she couldn’t find a weak spot here, so she could only try her luck in the Inner Circle. Even though the risks were high, it was her only option.
She thought to herself, once she found a powerful support, she would teach Gu Pan and the others a lesson; she was sick of their condescending attitudes.
At that time, Yuan Jiang’s family was in the midst of an intense argument.
Lin Feifei, crying, clung to Yuan Jiang’s leg, “Brother Yuan Jiang, I haven’t eaten anything for a whole day. You can take care of Lin Mengmeng, so why turn me away? We’ve known each other since we were children. Isn’t our relationship better than the one you have with Lin Mengmeng? Why would you listen to her?”
Yuan Jiang held his forehead and let out a deep sigh, “Lin Feifei, you’re so hungry and you still aren’t thinking straight? If you’re starving, shouldn’t you be figuring out how to get food instead of causing a scene here? Are you sick in the head? Did a donkey kick you?”
It was the first time Yuan Jiang had ever spoken to Lin Feifei like this. He had restrained himself in the past out of respect for Old Master Lin, but now that Lin Feifei had driven the old man away, why should he be polite to her?
Lin Feifei looked at Yuan Jiang, bewildered, “Brother Yuan Jiang, are you insulting me? How could you insult me? I love you so much…”
“Stop it; I can’t bear your love. Just leave, we’ve spent all night gathering supplies and need to rest,” Yuan Jiang said, not wanting to waste energy on her. There were still too many things to do; he wanted to survive, not waste time with this foolish woman.
Back in the peaceful times, she was born into a good family, the pampered sole princess of her maternal lineage, and her grandfather’s side was also affluent. Even if she was capricious and clueless about everything, she could live a carefree life.
But in the apocalypse, if her mind was still so messed up, she was beyond help. She might not want to survive, but others do.
Seeing Yuan Jiang treat her this way, Lin Feifei directed her anger at Lin Mengmeng, who had followed her in, “Lin Mengmeng, what kind of spell have you cast on Brother Yuan Jiang? Why has he changed like this?”
Lin Mengmeng was speechless, “Lin Feifei, if you want to die, just go die by yourself. Will you stop this nonsense?”
Lin Feifei was suffering not just physically from hunger, but also feeling deeply hurt inside, “Lin Mengmeng, on what grounds do you act like you’re lecturing me? On what grounds?”
Old Master Lin also came out and said to Lin Feifei, “Get your father to come here; I have something to discuss with him.”
Lin Feifei thought of her father and grandfather, who despite their differences, did not hold grudges from one day to the next. As long as her father was there, her grandfather would surely favor her side.
So she hurried off to find Lin Ran.
Soon after, Lin Ran arrived at Yuan Jiang’s home.
Old Master Lin looked at Lin Ran, “What are your plans for the future?”
Lin Ran shook his head, “I don’t know.”
Old Master Lin smiled a bitter smile, “Have you found anything? If you can’t find supplies, what will you eat?”
Lin Ran replied, “Starting today, I want to go with Yuan Jiang and Mengmeng. They’re experienced and can find supplies. Let them guide me, and eventually, I’ll learn how to find supplies too.”
