86: Qiu Li

Bai Wanning glanced at her, bypassed Qiu Li, and walked directly into the house.

Her memories of the Shen Family were not deep, but she knew that these people were not good.

In her previous life, when Shen Zhen helped her take care of Bai Cai, Shen Zhen had told her that she was looking for her younger sisters who had been sold by the Shen Family parents.

Therefore, she did not trust the Shen Family at all.

Before seeing everything with her own eyes, she dared not easily believe their words.

“Where is Shen Zhen?” she asked in a low voice.

However, no one answered her.

Shen Family’s parents were too scared to say a word, but Shen Congyi stared at Bai Wanning with a look of infatuation. He had originally thought Qiu Shuang was already a beauty, but the Bai Wanning in front of him made him instantly understand what “a frog in a well” meant.

Looking at Bai Wanning’s delicate and exquisite face, he felt his heart pound “thump, thump”, and his breathing became a little erratic.

Qiu Shuang noticed her husband’s dazed gaze, and her face immediately darkened.

She looked at Bai Wanning coldly, her tone unfriendly: “Who are you? Are you here to cause us trouble? You have such a quiet face, but your heart is quite dark.”

Bai Wanning sneered: “What? Did I cause trouble, or did you start it? You started wailing the moment you saw someone, and I already warned you, but you still insisted on shouting.”

Shen Congyi was also annoyed, feeling that his wife was too embarrassing, and immediately scolded: “Yes, what are you yelling about? She hasn’t even done anything to you, and you’re acting like someone stole your pants. Can you stop making a fuss? Can we just talk properly?”

After speaking, he shyly glanced at Bai Wanning again, hoping she would look at him a few more times.

Qiu Shuang was almost driven mad with anger.

When he was pursuing her, he said such sweet things, but now? He was staring at another woman, practically calling her an unwanted rag right to her face.

Qiu Li saw that her sister was so angry she was about to fight with her brother-in-law, so she quickly tugged on her sleeve and whispered, “Sister, don’t say any more… If brother-in-law kicks us out, we’ll truly have nowhere to live.”

Although Qiu Li spoke very softly, Bai Wanning’s spiritual perception was extremely strong, and she heard every word clearly.

A glint flashed in her eyes. She hadn’t expected to meet this person here.

Although she didn’t remember Qiu Shuang, she remembered Qiu Li.

And it was precisely because of Qiu Li that she recalled all the good things Qiu Shuang had done back then.

After the Apocalypse, the Shen Family abandoned Qiu Shuang and her sister.

Qiu Shuang had no abilities and was afraid of trouble, eventually resorting to serving men to survive.

Qiu Li, however, was different. She was calmer and more restrained than her sister, and eventually awakened dual abilities, becoming one of the few powerful ability users of that era.

As for Qiu Shuang, after dealing with countless men, she learned many tricks and schemes. Because of this, she quickly hooked up with Su Hu.

Su Hu was already handsome, and after their intimate encounters, Qiu Shuang’s hostility towards Bai Wanning deepened.

She often used opportunities to make things difficult for Bai Wanning.

Back then, Bai Wanning once thought that Qiu Shuang was hostile to her because she was a burden to Su Hu, making him take in a stranger’s child.

But now, reborn, she had long seen through it; Qiu Shuang’s hostility towards her was entirely due to Bai Xue.

That woman liked Su Hu, and she didn’t care about destroying Bai Wanning, so how could she tolerate a woman like Qiu Shuang clinging to Su Hu?

She was certain that Bai Xue had instigated Qiu Shuang to cause her trouble.

However, Bai Wanning completely ignored Qiu Shuang and instead focused her gaze on Qiu Li.

This quiet, gloomy girl, who was about to awaken dual abilities, later became Bai Xue’s biggest helper.

Back then, the reason Qiu Shuang dared to offend Bai Wanning so boldly was that she relied on Qiu Li to protect her.

Bai Wanning thought of Su Hu and Qiu Shuang’s skills and couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.

Once they met, with Bai Xue losing her stepping stone, she really didn’t know how she would deal with this woman.

“Where is Shen Zhen?” Although Bai Wanning was looking forward to the drama of arranging Su Hu and Qiu Shuang to meet, she still had to deal with serious matters first.

This time, the Shen Family members heard clearly, and each of them was stunned.

Bai Wanning saw the change in their expressions and knew they had understood her meaning. She narrowed her eyes and spoke again: “Is she home or not?”

Before the Shen Family could speak, Qiu Shuang jumped out and said sharply, “She’s not here. Her family sold her youngest sister for her son’s marriage, and she went out to look for her and never came back.”

After speaking, Qiu Shuang did not forget to mock her husband.

He wanted to abandon her for a beauty? Dream on! She would never let him go, even if he truly had the thought, she would find a way to cut off all his possible notions.

“Are you so smug?” Bai Wanning coldly swept her gaze over her, her tone indifferent, “He’s already married to you, isn’t he? How noble can you be? Ultimately, you’re nothing but an accomplice.”

After speaking, she was too lazy to waste more words, turned around, and left the Shen Family, not looking back at the people in the house.

Qiu Shuang, who had been scolded speechless, flushed with anger, her eyes staring viciously at Bai Wanning’s retreating figure, her mouth twitching uncontrollably.

She gnashed her teeth in hatred, yet lacked the courage to chase after her.

After all, she had just witnessed the monsters outside, which had scared her so much that she hadn’t dared to go out casually these past few days.

She had been hungry for several days, barely making a living by catching fish, but now… she was tired of even grilled fish; she wanted something else.

Qiu Shuang glanced at her sister beside her and coldly ordered, “You go follow her. Since that woman is going out, she must be getting supplies. If you follow her, you might pick up some benefits.”

Qiu Li turned to look at her sister, her face blank.

“What are you looking at? I’m almost starving to death! Do you want me to really die?” Qiu Shuang’s tone carried a hint of shame, but more so impatience.

A hint of gloom flashed in Qiu Li’s eyes, but in the end, she said no more, silently got up, and dragged her heavy body to follow.

The other residents in the building were as tempted as Qiu Shuang, but when they thought of the person who ate monsters outside, they immediately backed down.

They didn’t say it out loud, but they were all watching Qiu Li. If she went out alone and brought something back, they wouldn’t mind “conveniently” taking a little.

And Qiu Li, before she had even found anything, the residents of the building had already developed ill intentions towards her.

Bai Wanning had, of course, long noticed the “little tail” following her, but she couldn’t be bothered to deal with it.

Although Qiu Li had protected Qiu Shuang in her previous life, Bai Wanning also remembered the good things she had done, at least trying to stop her sister from targeting her.

More importantly, it was this quiet, gloomy girl who had revealed organizational information to her in her previous life.

Bai Wanning didn’t understand why Qiu Li, despite having the ability, would let her sister cause so much trouble.

But that wasn’t her business.

Qiu Li was not a child; whatever decisions she made or whoever she wandered with, she couldn’t stop her.
