120: My half-sister failed to pretend to be x

The branch store opened for business the next day and attracted countless people to buy, becoming even more popular than the original Ping An Supermarket.

Since the disaster struck, people only ate to fill their stomachs, not caring about taste or flavor.

Noodles and porridge boiled in clear water were the most common foods in every household.

Only after ten days to half a month could they grit their teeth and spend integral (points) to buy a tiny bit of vegetables to improve their meals.

Now, with gold, which was once like trash, they could buy dried vegetables, dried fruits, and frozen meat. Everyone went crazy, scrambling to buy goods from the branch store.

This indirectly increased the sales of Ping An Supermarket.

Those who couldn't squeeze into the branch store came here to buy instant food.

Jiang Fei occasionally went to the branch store to help, adapting to the 48℃ high temperature outside.

This was to avoid getting sick from the sudden temperature change if she went out abruptly, and also to collect the gold earned by the store.

In six days, the two stores together earned 465,232 grams of gold.

The unlock progress for the third area on the third floor was already 50%.

Jiang Fei couldn't wait to drive her pickup truck to the branch store.

Boss Yao had promised her to deliver gold once a week, and today was exactly the seventh day.

She wondered if the gold sold in the rich circle could help her unlock the third area on the third floor in one go.

Passing by Ping An Supermarket, Jiang Fei suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Through the store window, she could see a beautiful girl standing next to the cash register.

Her long hair was styled in large waves, and her face had delicate makeup. It was none other than her half-sister—

Chen Wenwen!

The daughter of that scumbag father and his mistress.

Besides Chen Wenwen, the scumbag father also had a son two years younger than her, named Chen Wenhao.

Chen Wenwen being in the Safety Shelter meant that the scumbag father's family was also there.

In her previous life, she had only seen them once, on the way to transfer with the authorities.

The scumbag father's family sat in the RV bought with her mother's property, throwing leftover food and trash out, humiliating her like a dog.

After Chen Wenwen and Chen Wenhao learned her identity, they tried every possible way to torment her.

Shaving her head, pouring the black tank of excrement from the RV onto her, intentionally tearing open her nearly healed wounds, and so on.

Every time, Chen Wenwen would pretend to be helpless and say:

“My younger siblings are just playing a little prank on you, and you're getting angry and throwing a tantrum. How can you be our older sister?”

“You need to be more magnanimous.”

Not biting off a piece of their flesh before they parted ways was her biggest regret.

In this life, the Safety Shelter survived the extreme cold and did not relocate, so Chen Wenwen didn't recognize her yet.

Jiang Fei had a plan and got out of the car, walking towards Ping An Supermarket.

As she approached the door, she heard a sharp voice.

“We want good wine! What kind of garbage is this?! It's not even fit to wash my best friend's feet!”

Jiang Mengyi disdainfully placed the red wine Zhou Wanqing brought on the table.

It turned out Jiang Mengyi's best friend was Chen Wenwen.

Zhou Wanqing patiently said, “If you two don't like the red wine in our store, you can also look at champagne, moutai, or fruit wine.”

“Wan Qing, you go rest. You don't need to serve them. These two keep asking for masks one moment and red wine the next. Their brains seem to be sick, and they're driving all our customers away.”

Su Liuyuan bluntly retorted Jiang Mengyi and Chen Wenwen.

Jiang Mengyi's eyes widened in anger: “Who are you talking about?!”

“We are customers! The customer is God! Is this how you treat God?”

Swish—

Pulling open the drawer, Su Liuyuan took out a gun:

“Are you leaving or not?”

“You! If you dare to shoot, the Patrol Team outside will arrest you!” Jiang Mengyi said defiantly, but her body fearfully pulled Chen Wenwen out.

Just then, Jiang Fei entered the store.

When Jiang Mengyi saw her, her resentment outweighed her fear.

Because of what happened in the Hospital dormitory, she was fired and lost her resettlement housing and the benefits she enjoyed.

Unwilling to live in the Common sleeping area, she could only cling to Chen Wenwen, becoming her little follower and a tool for venting anger. Life was not easy.

By chance, she learned that Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia were good friends, and then she understood that the two of them had deliberately set her up that day!

So she pretended to be pitiful and instigated Chen Wenwen to come and cause trouble for Ping An Supermarket.

Catching sight of Su Liuyuan's unholstered gun, Jiang Mengyi had an idea: “Your staff member is illegally possessing dangerous goods, and you, as a Rescue Team member, aren't managing it. You're even condoning him bullying ordinary survivors. I'm going to report you!”

“Unless you kneel and kowtow to me a few times! Beg for my forgiveness!”

Jiang Fei: “If you slander me without evidence, I can have the Patrol Team arrest you.”

“Are you blind? Can't you see the gun he's holding... Ah!!!”

Jiang Mengyi was suddenly sprayed in the face with water.

Su Liuyuan shook the water gun in his hand, disdainfully saying, “Haven't you seen a water gun before?”

“It's specifically for scaring brainless psychopaths like you.”

The water gun was a real gun he had modified to deceive others.

The real gun was at the bottom of the drawer.

He would only use the real gun if a water gun couldn't solve the problem.

Jiang Mengyi's face turned red with anger. She grabbed Chen Wenwen's hand and fanned the flames: “Wenwen, they're messing with me! They just called you brain-sick! A psychopath!”

Chen Wenwen was well aware of Jiang Mengyi's little schemes; she was just playing along to have some fun and didn't care about the other person's feelings.

But Jiang Mengyi was her person.

Bullying Jiang Mengyi was like slapping her face, disrespecting her.

Besides, she couldn't swallow being insulted.

Chen Wenwen spoke arrogantly: “What's a Rescue Team? Without us, do you still think you can open a store? You'll all be out drinking the northwest wind!”

“You guys, apologize to me quickly, or I'll have people smash your store!”

“I'm really scared,” Jiang Fei said sarcastically, walking to the cash register and picking up the red wine Jiang Mengyi had just put down, feigning disdain:

“You've been browsing my store for half a day, being picky, not spending a cent, and you still want me to apologize? How thick-skinned are you?”

“This is Romanee-Conti's grand cru red wine, even more expensive than Lafite. You don't even recognize good wine? Are you trying to show off without being able to afford it?”

A lamb delivered to her doorstep must be slaughtered!

Su Liuyuan also tutted, “Dressed like a human, but turns out to be penniless.”

Zhou Wanqing softly said, “I don't think they're the kind of people who care so much about appearances. Maybe they just wanted to see the world and go back to brag to others.”

Jiang Xiaoshi made a funny face: “Poor ghosts!”

Jiang Fei: “...?”

When did Xiao Shi learn Yao Jin's catchphrase???

The four of them spoke, each more unpleasant than the last.

Jiang Mengyi had no gold, so she had to suppress her anger and endure.

Chen Wenwen was different; she sneered: “I have no money?”

“A bunch of frogs in a well, I'll take this bottle of wine.”

Taking the red wine from Jiang Fei, Chen Wenwen directly smashed it on the floor.

Jiang Mengyi was stunned: “Wenwen, what are you doing?”

“Spending money to hear a sound. This quality of red wine isn't even worthy of me drinking,” Chen Wenwen said, raising her chin proudly:

“Settlement.”

Jiang Fei: “A total of 70,000 grams of gold.”

Chen Wenwen stiffened: “Your counter says each bottle of liquor is 19,999 grams of gold.”

Her father had only given her 50 kilograms of gold bars when she told him she was going to the popular Ping An Supermarket, considering it for family purchases.

If it were before, her father would never have allowed her to touch gold bars.

Those were reserved for emergencies.

“Your friend was yelling like a mad dog. Are we not counting mental compensation? Does a dirty floor not require manual cleaning fees?”

Jiang Fei took out her walkie-talkie: “If you can't pay, then I'll ask the Patrol Team to come and handle it.”

“Who said I can't pay!” Chen Wenwen whispered to Jiang Mengyi:

“You drive back to my house and ask my dad for gold bars. Say I bought too much and it's not enough.”

It was only a difference of 20 kilograms; at worst, she'd get scolded when she went back!

Jiang Mengyi walked out of the store and did as told.

“She went to get the gold bars; she'll be back in a moment.”

No sooner had Chen Wenwen finished speaking than the store door was pushed open again.

“Liu Yuan, I saw Fei Fei's car outside. Is she here? I have something to tell her...”

Jiang Zhengkang fell silent, frowning as he looked at Chen Wenwen, as if recalling something.

“You... are Fang Yan's child?”
