บท 37: 035 Up to No Good
When the convoy entered the villa district, the Fang Family heard the commotion. Fang Jintang and Fang Yuyang, who were washing dishes in the kitchen, changed their expressions slightly, exchanged a knowing glance and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
From the noise, they knew that a significant number of people had arrived. Yet the number of houses in the villa district was limited; with more people, clashes over resources were inevitable. It was uncertain how chaotic it could become.
Fang Jintang silently shook his head, quickening his pace. Living there, they couldn't tell if troublemakers with poor judgment might come knocking. It was best to finish up and go have a look as soon as possible.
Thinking this, he said to Fang Yuyang, "Yu Yang, hurry up, let's go out and see what's happening." Fang Yuyang nodded, speeding up his task.
At the same time, Fang Yuxin and Qu Qianhe were on the rooftop. The rooftop had been transformed into an ecological farm, and the decoration company had taken aesthetics into account during the renovation, creating a beautiful space. The farm used nutrient-rich soil, which was fertile and loose. Fang Yuxin planted seasonal vegetables the day she moved in, and now they had sprouted, forming a pleasing patch of tender green growth.
The villa had four floors, with three above ground and one below. Fang Yuxin had stored supplies in the basement, almost filling it completely. There was no helping it; the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion had to be kept secret at all costs, and the Space superpower was far too conspicuous. The Fang Family had bought a lot of supplies before the apocalypse and, despite their secretive efforts, they could not possibly conceal everything. If she didn't keep some supplies outside, her Space would be exposed.
Standing on the rooftop, their view was unobstructed. They not only heard the noises but also saw the entire convoy. Qu Qianhe and Fang Jintang were indeed a couple; both had the same concern. Seeing the convoy, she said to Fang Yuxin, "Xinxin, let's go down first. Be careful, in case someone causes trouble."
Fang Yuxin nodded, and Bai Qianqian came over, extending his little paw to take Fang Yuxin's hand. Looking up with his earnest, doughy face, he said seriously, "Mama, don't worry. If someone comes, Qianqian will protect you!" His seriousness surprised both Fang Yuxin and Qu Qianhe. They missed the fleeting cold glint in his eyes, which left them both astonished.
Such a small child, yet capable of such a sharp gaze!
Qu Qianhe narrowed her eyes, observing him for a while, feeling more satisfied with her unconventional grandson. When Fang Yuxin first brought Bai Qianqian home, claiming he was her son, Qu Qianhe couldn't believe her ears! Even though the two did look alike, she was unwilling to accept it.
Fang Yuxin had never given birth!
But when Fang Yuxin presented the DNA test results, she had no choice but to believe. Even then, accepting Bai Qianqian as her unconventional grandson was forced, and a part of her still felt resentful. Not towards Fang Yuxin or Bai Qianqian, but towards the mastermind who had schemed against Fang Yuxin.
Bai Qianqian, young as he was, proved to be both intelligent and sensible. Furthermore, his strong resemblance to Fang Yuxin grew on her the more she saw him. Now, witnessing the fleeting coldness in Bai Qianqian's eyes, she was surprised, yet her fondness for him deepened.
She could tell that Bai Qianqian was an exceptionally smart child, a prodigy even by any standard. But what she found most endearing was his caring and protective attitude towards Fang Yuxin! With her years of experience, her discerning eyes could see through to one's true intentions, distinguishing sincerity from deceitfulness in a glance!
It was precisely because of this reason that she could never bring herself to like Fang Mengyao. She believed she had been quite fair to Fang Mengyao, yet Fang Mengyao was never truly sincere towards her or her family. Instead, she was constantly on guard, acting as if she had suffered great injustice or as if she was persecuted, which made her impossible to like.
At this thought, Qu Qianhe suddenly furrowed her brows. She remembered that over the past month, Fang Mengyao seemed to have changed a lot! The previous timidity was nowhere to be seen, and she appeared to be on edge all over, as if covered in thorns, and her ambition had been growing by the day!
A flash of disgust and coldness swept through Qu Qianhe's eyes. She didn't care why Fang Mengyao had changed, but if Fang Mengyao dared to scheme against her family, she would definitely not tolerate it! Speaking of which, it was odd how Fang Mengyao had so desperately tried to snatch away Fang Yuxin's Jade last time, and to top it off, Fang Yuxin found the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion inside that very piece of Jade!
Did Fang Mengyao know something?
In the blink of an eye, Qu Qianhe had thought through a lot. She glanced at Fang Yuxin without revealing her thoughts and hesitated, then gave up the idea of asking her. She knew there must be something about that unbelievable dream that Fang Yuxin was hiding, but the dream had been too devastating for Fang Yuxin, and she didn't want to reopen Fang Yuxin's wounds.
The three of them quickly descended the stairs in silence. By the time they had come down, Fang Jintang and Fang Yuyang had already cleaned up the bowls and were waiting in the living room. The three of them sat down, but their eyes were instinctively drawn to the window. Outside in the courtyard, where vegetables had been planted and were sprouting, their gazes were not on the pleasing greenery, but rather on the iron gate.
There was a vehicle passing the gate, moving slowly, its occupants likely surveying the area. They probably saw there were people here and, without stopping, drove on. After all, it was only the first day of the apocalypse, and not everyone was ready to make the transition from Ordinary People to bandits, to calmly reach out and violently take what others had.
Before long, another vehicle arrived. It was a black SUV. The vehicle looked cool, but it didn't drive past the gate and instead stopped.
As soon as the vehicle halted, the Fang Family's expressions changed subtly, and their gaze turned vigilant. In the next moment, the car door opened, and the first thing to emerge was a sexy leg. Black skin-tight leather pants and high, slender heels. Seeing such attire, almost all the Fang Family raised their eyebrows, and simultaneously thought: "Must be crazy."
Then Fang Yuxin's complexion turned ugly in an instant. She suddenly remembered, this outfit was all too familiar; in her dream, Fang Mengyao had worn exactly this!
At the same time as her face changed dramatically, Fang Mengyao's visage came into view. She was wearing the same set of sexy clothing that increased charm value. After getting out of the car, she instinctively looked in the direction of the Fang Family, her flame-like lips curling into a meaningful smile, while her gaze was somewhat cold.
On her way here, she had hoped that all the Fang Family would have turned into zombies, but unexpectedly, they were all unharmed! However, who was that child? Why was he here? What was his relationship to the Fang Family?
Qiu Yiming had already gotten out from the other side of the SUV. When he came over and saw Bai Qianqian through the window, his face instantly darkened.
It was him again! This child should never have come into this world!
