52: Living is more painful than dying

"Why do you think I hit you?"

"You used to say that your sister bullied you, made you eat leftovers, and live in the attic."

"We pitied you so much back then, but now you..."

"Hmph, it's my fault for being blind back then."

Bai Qing was also a straightforward person; she wasn't afraid of Su Ran's anger at all, pointing at her face and stating the facts.

The others were equally furious; they felt like Su Ran had made fools of them.

Her words from back then still echoed in their ears, yet now she was denying them.

However, the men present, seeing Su Ran get hit, started to show sympathy.

"Alright, Bai Qing, Ranran didn't say anything, so stop talking."

"You've already hit her, what else do you want?"

The man next to Su Ran looked at her reddened face with a pained expression.

"Heh, Bai Lin, are you even my real brother?"

"You're actually talking to me like this for a 'white lotus'?"

"You're hopeless."

Bai Qing looked at Bai Lin with a disappointed expression, shaking her head.

Bai Lin: "..."

He didn't know when Bai Qing became so petty; wasn't it just a small matter?

He hadn't even shown her a disappointed expression, yet she was already disappointed in him.

Bai Lin looked at Bai Qing and said, "You're really spoiled by Mom and Dad!"

Bai Qing looked at his expression of 'hating iron for not becoming steel' and couldn't help but shake her head in disappointment.

"Bai Lin, you really are my good brother."

"She lied to us, and you're still defending her. What, do you like her?"

Bai Qing's mind was filled with his disappointment in her; she had lost the ability to think and just said whatever came to mind.

Seeing her like this, Bai Lin was almost fuming with anger.

He did have a slight interest in Su Ran, but Su Ran clearly had no interest in him.

Her words clearly made it very difficult for him to save face.

Bai Lin's face turned as black as charcoal; he looked at Bai Qing with an angry expression, wishing he didn't have her as a sister.

Su Mianmian watched the drama between the Bai siblings unfold, feeling nothing at all.

While these two were arguing, wasn't Su Ran beautifully invisible?

She was quite fortunate.

Su Mianmian sneered, then suddenly spoke, "Su Ran, you have quite a few admirers around you. I wonder if they know that for money, you were once a mistress to a married man."

She seemed to recall something, let out an "Oh," and asked curiously, "Did you also abort a child?"

Su Mianmian's words successfully changed Su Ran's expression.

She looked at Su Mianmian with shock and anger, seemingly not expecting her to know such private matters.

Su Mianmian curved her lips into a smile at her; all this was thanks to the Original Body's Owner's memories, which she had only just recalled.

She wondered if, after this matter got out, Su Ran's knights would still be able to protect her as before.

Su Mianmian's face was full of smiles, completely indifferent to Su Ran's current desire to rush over and tear her to pieces.

"Sister, how can you wrongly accuse me!"

"These things were clearly done by you, why are you pushing them onto me?"

"I know brother-in-law is in the car, and you want to push these onto me, but... but who would believe that?"

"Everyone clearly knows that you're the one without money!"

Su Ran truly inherited her mother's cunning; after a moment of shock, she immediately thought of a way to retaliate.

Su Mianmian smiled, thinking that she did have some skill.

She admired her composure in a crisis, but it was a pity... "Me?"

"Although I don't have money, my brother and my husband do."

"Before my brother had his accident, he gave me money."

"After his accident, my husband gave me money."

"Why would I need to find some rich old man?"

"It's you, whose family company ran into trouble. To maintain your glamorous status, these past two years, you've taken advantage of many old men's..."

Su Mianmian didn't finish the rest of her sentence, and how could the shrewd people present not understand?

Everyone was from the same circle; they understood these intricacies very well.

Bai Lin subconsciously moved a little further away from Su Ran. Seeing this, Bai Qing snorted, as if mocking him.

Bai Lin was in no mood to deal with Bai Qing's mockery; he was now especially grateful that he hadn't gotten involved with Su Ran.

If he had slept with a woman like her, he would definitely be disgusted for the rest of his life.

Another man had been silent the whole time, standing indifferently to the side, completely ignoring the others.

When Su Mianmian inadvertently saw him, she was startled.

This man had a strong zombie-like presence about him.

She scrutinized him up and down, finally noticing a wound on his hand.

The wound was already festering and looked a bit gruesome.

Su Ran saw Su Mianmian's gaze fall on Tan Xian, her eyes darted around, and she said with a look of horror, "Sister, why are you staring at Tan Xian? Do you have feelings for him? But don't you already have a husband?"

As soon as she said this, Su Mianmian laughed first.

People like her truly weren't enough even if they died.

"Does looking mean liking?"

"Your heart is truly too narrow-minded."

"I'm too lazy to bother with you. Seeing you today has already ruined my mood."

"Just thinking about you and those people..., I'm worried you might have a disease."

After Su Mianmian finished speaking, she waved her hand in the air with a disgusted expression.

Su Ran: "!!!"

She looked at Su Mianmian with an angry expression, her eyes seemingly spitting fire.

"Shi Xu, let's go."

"There's a man turning into a zombie; it's probably going to get chaotic soon."

"Let's not get involved in this excitement."

Su Mianmian ignored Su Ran's anger and directly rolled up the car window.

Shi Xu nodded, stepped on the gas, and the car started moving.

"Brother, why didn't you say anything just now?" Su Mianmian turned her head to look at Su Jinxuan; his silence just now was truly strange.

"If I spoke, I'm afraid I'd want to kill her."

"I truly hate this woman who harmed me."

"But I don't want to kill her so easily; living is more painful than death."

"The apocalypse is just the beginning of their suffering."

Su Jinxuan's lips curved into a wicked smile, like a little devil.

Su Mianmian thought he was also a yandere.

She shook her head helplessly; with the apocalypse, everyone had changed completely.

After the car drove away, everyone started ostracizing Su Ran.

Su Ran stamped her foot and followed Tan Xian, who hadn't spoken a word.

In her heart, not speaking was much better than speaking.

But what she didn't know was that Tan Xian's silence was because he was mutating... "Ah!"

Tan Xian suddenly went mad and bit a woman in front of him. Seeing this, Su Ran couldn't help but scream.

Bai Lin was so scared that he took a big step back. The bitten woman screamed for help, but no one dared to save her.

Gradually, her eyes began to lose focus, and she slowly lost her breath.

Su Ran couldn't help but scream again.

She was too scared to move. A woman next to her tried to pull her away, but she was pulled by Su Ran to block Tan Xian's attack.

Su Ran saw the disbelief and shock in the woman's eyes, and she couldn't help but shake her head, saying in horror, "I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to..."

Her screams attracted Tan Xian. If she didn't find someone to block him, she would surely die.

Su Ran didn't want to die, she really didn't want to die.

She looked fearfully at the woman she had pulled out to block Tan Xian, shook her head, and turned to run.

Seeing this, Bai Qing and Bai Lin also ran.

The remaining people, seeing them all run, also started to run.

Soon, only Tan Xian and two bitten women remained here.
