Chapter 22: 022 Your sister is also doing it for your own good Chapter 22: 022 Your sister is also doing it for your own good Hua Mi cried out in shock and alarm:
“Look at you, you’re carrying that jerk’s baby. The world is such chaos, how can you take care of yourself out there alone?”
Fang Xin was feeling incredibly ill, continually dry-heaving, unable even to straighten her back.
The people around her started looking at her differently, because, given the state of affairs, those who made it to the temporary relief center were either survivors of disasters or there to sell and buy goods.
Someone like Fang Xin, dressed like a little princess.
Looking at her in a pink fragrant wind suit dress, with stiletto heels, makeup on her face, and a rhinestone hair hoop on her head, it was clear she seemed like a rich young lady untouched by worldly concerns.
Such a young lady from a wealthy family was the easiest to deceive for men.
Thus, this rich miss who kept gagging had eloped with an outsider to this temporary relief center and then been found by her own sister.
But it was too late; the young lady from the wealthy family was already pregnant with the baby of a scoundrel.
Everyone immediately filled in the blanks with an extremely melodramatic story in their heads, and so no one blamed Hua Mi for the beating.
If it were their own daughter, they probably would have done the same.
Too thoughtless, at such a time as this, the world outside in such turmoil, and yet she brought trouble home for the sake of a worthless man.
Fang Xin had her own problems but couldn’t voice them, tears welling up in her eyes, she continued to gag while turning her head and glaring at Hua Mi.
The people around gradually started to comfort Fang Xin,
“Beauty, your sister is doing this for your own good, just try to be more understanding towards her.”
“It’s best to stay with your family at a time , don’t go wandering off.”
“Exactly, if a man truly loves you, he should think about how to earn your parents’ approval, not convince you to elope. The outside world is not as beautiful as he painted it for you.”
Fang Xin, in such distress that her stomach was in knots, cried out loudly,
Before her words had time to fade, Hua Mi landed another punch on Fang Xin’s stomach.
She continued to gag, barely able to stand, only with the help of Hua Mi who dragged her to a corner.
In the quiet spot, Hua Mi emotionlessly reached out her hand to Fang Xin,
Hunched over, Fang Xin looked at Hua Mi with eyes full of resentment, having trouble staying upright and squatting down.
But Hua Mi grabbed the collar of her clothes and lifted her up again.
Not waiting for Fang Xin to take it out herself, Hua Mi reached in and pulled out Fang Xin’s smartphone from her pink mink velvet fragrant wind coat.
“The latest fruit brand phone, over ten thousand for a new model, Fang Xin, you really know how to spend with just your 2500 salary, tsk tsk.”
Hua Mi uttered a “hmph”, unlocked the screen with Fang Xin’s face, and started flipping through the photo album. All the recent snaps taken by Fang Xin were of her and Chi Chuan.
Looking at the lens, the candid captures of the interactions between her and Chi Chuan, to be honest, Hua Mi could taste “love”.
She pointed at one of the photos, where she and Chi Chuan were sitting behind the stall, appearing to be talking, and just when both turned to look and smile at each other, that 0.01 second moment was captured by Fang Xin.
Even without love between Hua Mi and Chi Chuan, one could tell from the photos that there was more than meets the eye in their relationship.
“Fang Xin, your photography skills are so superb, you shouldn’t be selling houses. You should be a studio photographer. Look at your sense of the lens, you’ve managed to make it look like me and this newly acquainted buddy have a love as deep as the ocean.”
Hua Mi praised as she flipped through the photos, coming across the interactions between her and Ah Fu from a few days ago.
Through Fang Xin’s lens, Hua Mi and Ah Fu also seemed to be brimming with love… oh no, it was more like a gold-digger clinging to a truck driver.
“Tsk tsk, Fang Xin, what exactly are you trying to do here?”
Hua Mi directly opened Fang Xin’s WeChat and found the chat history between Fang Xin and Qin Ziran. Sure enough, she saw that Fang Xin had sent the photos of her with Ah Fu to Qin Ziran.
Hua Mi glanced at the chat history, sneered, and shook Fang Xin’s phone in her direction,
“You’re really a piece of work, a true White Lotus. With brains like that, you’d go red if you took to acting.”
At this point, Fang Xin had regained some of her composure, her face covered in tears. She looked pitifully at Hua Mi, hunching over, arms wrapped around herself, and cried,
“Sister, sister, listen to me explain. I didn’t mean anything by it; Brother Ziran and I were just worried about you.”
“Enough, as if I don’t know about your little schemes. You’ve been bad-mouthing me in front of Qin Ziran, painting me as a promiscuous woman, while you, the pure Heart, only have eyes for Qin Ziran, right?”
Hua Mi raised an eyebrow and smirked at Fang Xin, seemingly gentle and generous.
Suddenly, she flung Fang Xin’s phone straight into the wall behind her.
Fang Xin screamed, clutching her head,
“Your phone’s now smashed to bits.”
Hua Mi’s voice was cool as she grabbed Fang Xin by the neck and said, menacingly,
“In my presence, you were as insignificant as an ant. I really didn’t have the heart to deal with you since I have so many other things to attend to. You should just go and rot wherever you belong. But with that phone, spying on me all day long, taking pictures as annoyingly as a fly, I’ve grown to detest your presence.”
She held too many secrets. According to the human mutation process, she had mutated earlier than everyone else.
In the early days of the apocalypse, there were no Superpower Users yet. A person like Hua Mi would be captured and researched by labs.
So Fang Xin’s constant vigilance made her feel endangered.
Might as well kill her off.
Hua Mi’s fox-like eyes narrowed, a cold and sharp murderous intent in her gaze.
“Hey, what’s going on over there?”
At that moment, a voice from the Garrison sounded behind Hua Mi.
Garrison patrols had come by and noticed the two women in the secluded corner.
Hua Mi rolled her eyes, looking at Fang Xin, who was turning red and purple from being choked. She wouldn’t be able to commit murder if this White Lotus didn’t leave the temporary aid center.
Hua Mi let go, turning around with an innocent face to look at the two approaching members of the Garrison patrol,
“Nothing, my sister here got pregnant before marriage. She seemed to have a bit of trouble breathing, so I was just helping her lean against the wall for a bit.”
The two Garrison members eyed Hua Mi and Fang Xin with suspicion.
Suddenly, Fang Xin lurched forward and stumbled to the ground. Crawling towards the patrolling officers as if survival instincts kicked in, she yelled desperately,
“Murder… this bitch is trying to kill me… help me~~~”
