Chapter 35

Crystal Galleria.

Sun Moli returned home, a little disheveled and chilled to the bone. Shivering, she opened the door, nervously swallowing hard.

Her mother was napping on the sofa, startled awake by the sound of the door. She sat up impatiently, yawning.

“The fish? Why didn’t you bring it back?”

Sun Moli tugged at the corner of her clothes, soaked enough to wring out water, and said with a slightly nasal voice, “There were zombies chasing me outside, and I didn’t have any tools, so I couldn’t catch any.”

“What? You came back without catching any? What good are you!”

Her mother stood up angrily and shoved Sun Moli hard.

“You’re an outsider. Your father and I are already being more than kind by letting you live here and eat for free.

But what about you? Your younger brother wants to eat fish to replenish his strength, and you can’t even catch one. What use are you! You good-for-nothing!”

Her voice was shrill, waking Sun Tianci, who was resting in the bedroom.

He stretched lazily, a little irritated, and walked out of the bedroom, his hair greasy and messy, his nails filled with dirt.

“What’s all the racket? Can’t you see I’m sleeping!”

Hearing her precious son’s voice, her mother rushed to him, quickly draping a cotton blanket over him.

“Oh, why did you get out of bed in your pajamas? What if you catch a cold?

We don’t have much medicine left in the house. You have to take good care of yourself.

If you get sick, how will Mom live!”

Sun Tianci was annoyed by her fussing. He gathered the blanket around himself and plopped down on the sofa, gesturing with his chin towards Sun Moli, who was standing awkwardly to the side.

“The fish? Did you not catch it for me?”

Sun Moli stammered, “Yes, the rain was too heavy, and there were a lot of zombies. I almost died out there.”

Sun Tianci waved his hand impatiently. “What a waste. What good is it that Mom and Dad raised you for so long?

All you know is how to be lazy and shirk responsibilities. You can’t even handle such a simple task!”

Hearing this, her mother was about to flare up again, but Sun Moli quickly said, “I saw Lin Wansheng. He saved me from the zombies!

And he awakened his Superpower and was driving a modified off-road vehicle!”

Upon hearing this, her mother’s raised hand froze in mid-air. After a moment of hesitation, she lowered it.

“Lin Wansheng awakened his Superpower? And he’s driving an off-road vehicle?”

Sun Moli nodded quickly, moving to hide in the corner. Her lips were frozen purple from the extreme cold.

Sun Tianci’s eyes lit up. “Off-road vehicle? Mom! I want an off-road vehicle too. Those cars are so cool. They look so awesome when you drive them around!

I don’t care. You tell my sister to get the car from Lin Wansheng!

We agreed that he would buy me a car and a house, but he went back on his word!

That off-road vehicle is what he owes me. He should give it back to me!”

Seeing her son’s agitation, her mother quickly poured a cup of just-boiled rainwater and handed it to him, tenderly rubbing his head.

“Okay, okay, you can have anything you want.

It’s just an off-road vehicle. With your sister around, that Lin Wansheng will definitely obediently return the car to you. Don’t worry.”

After saying these words gently, her mother turned her gaze to Sun Moli, rubbing her temples with some disgust.

“Where does Lin Wansheng live? We might as well go find him.

That brat, pushing aside our family’s marriage for a worthless younger sister. I originally didn’t want to have anything to do with him again.

But since our Tianci said he wants an off-road vehicle, let’s give him a chance.

If he obediently returns the off-road vehicle, then your father and I might reluctantly agree to let you be with him.”

Seeing that she wouldn’t be beaten today, Sun Moli’s tense body finally relaxed a little, but she still bit her lip helplessly.

“I don’t know where he lives. I got in his car, but his sister kicked me out.”

Thinking of Lin Qianhuan’s clean and tidy appearance, she clenched her fists jealously, her nails digging into her palms.

Why?

Everything Lin Qianhuan enjoys now should be hers!

If she had married Lin Wansheng back then, would she also be riding in an off-road vehicle, and would she also be taken care of so cleanly and comfortably?

Before she could pull herself out of her fantasies, Sun Moli’s already swollen cheek was slapped again. The pain made her instinctively raise her hand to cover her face, taking a few steps back helplessly.

Her mother cursed loudly, “You idiot! What good is raising you for so long!

I told you not to go to college, but your father insisted on sending you, saying you could fetch a good price when you got married.

And what happened! You can’t even hold a man’s heart. You’ve been dating him for so long and you don’t even know where he lives!”

Sun Moli tried to explain nervously, but it pulled at the corner of her swollen mouth, causing her to hiss in pain.

“It’s not like that, Mom. He moved later. I went to his house to look for him some time ago, but it was already empty…”

“You dare to argue! I’ll tear your mouth apart!”

Her mother made a move to hit her, but was stopped by Sun’s father, who suddenly appeared.

“Stop! What’s all the noise! Are you afraid the zombies downstairs won’t hear us!”

Her mother resentfully lowered her hand. “Why did you wake up?”

Sun’s father spat on the ground, then sat down on the sofa casually, crossing his legs.

“I heard you talking, so I came out.

It’s not that I’m saying anything, but you women are short-sighted.

Which man doesn’t care about face? You stepped on Lin Wansheng’s self-esteem back then and cursed at his sister. It’s no wonder he’s not willing to give Moli a good face now.

But men are easy to coax. Just have Moli go and keep him company, right?

If she can really win the kid’s heart back, what’s an off-road vehicle? There are plenty of benefits we can get from him!”

Sun Tianci instantly became interested, swallowing hard. “Then Dad, send my sister over there! I haven’t had a full meal in ages. I’m starving.

This rainwater is also hard to drink. Even when it’s boiled, it still has a muddy taste. I can’t stand it anymore!

That Lin Wansheng must be living well since he awakened his Superpower. Isn’t it only right for him to help his brother-in-law improve his life?”

Sun’s father waved his hand lazily. “If you want to find him, you have to know where he is first.

Moli, which direction did he drive in?”

Rubbing her aching cheek, Sun Moli said somewhat vaguely, “He went east.”

“Isn’t Dongjiao east of Nanling River? There aren’t many residential areas in that area, so it should be easy to find.”

Sun’s father rubbed his dark, rough face. “You two pack up whatever useful things we have in the house. We might as well move to Dongjiao.

We can search house by house until we find the traces of those siblings. Then we’ll just wait to enjoy the good life.”

Hearing this, her mother hesitated. “Move? We bought this house with money. Why move?”

“I’m telling you, you women don’t have a sense of the bigger picture! It’s the end of the world now. Everything is unowned. Whoever grabs it gets it!

If you want to get benefits from Lin Wansheng, can you do it without finding him?”

Her mother pouted and grumbled a few more times, but still obediently went into the bedroom to pack clothes and bedding.
