Chapter 473: 261 You’re Pretty Daring (Second Update)_2

She knew Fang Yuxin meant well, so she reluctantly accepted. But when her family saw her stockpiling supplies in bulk, they thought she was crazy and started causing trouble with her, demanding she use her card’s balance to buy houses for her brothers and get them wives.

Li Qingyun didn’t agree, initially only spending her own savings without touching Fang Yuxin’s money. Later when Fang Yuxin called, saying she had a nightmare, asking how the supply buying was going, she had no choice but to also spend the money Fang Yuxin had given her, buying supplies to prevent her parents from asking for more money.

Soon after, the apocalypse arrived, and many people turned into zombies, but she was lucky enough to awaken as a superpower user. Initially, with an abundance of supplies and being a superpower user, she could have managed pretty well even in the apocalypse. However, soon her relatives crowded her home, all flocking to her for refuge.

Many of these relatives were the type they hadn’t contacted for years, those who looked down on their poverty. Yet after the apocalypse, they brazenly sought her out.

While they were family, Li Qingyun didn’t intend to drive them away; however, she soon discovered her relatives were utterly disgraceful!

These people, taking advantage of her inattention, secretly carted away the supplies she had saved up to curry favor with others! Watching the supplies being hauled away massively, these ingrates managed to secure some minor positions, securing jobs in the Safe Zone.

Her parents didn’t think these people were excessive but instead turned around to chide her for being foolish and squabbling with her own family!

Her superpower was Mutated Wood Element, but it lacked the ordinary Wood Element’s healing and plant-growth abilities; her talent was in extracting plant essences. With this ability, she secured a minor assistant position at a research institute but earned just enough to get by.

Due to housing shortages within the Safe Zone, the relatives didn’t move out and continued to live cramped together in one apartment, constantly mooching off her and taking advantage. Her parents were the type who were exceedingly submissive outwardly but only aggressive within their own home. They didn’t dare confront their relatives and took all their frustrations out on her and her sister.

She also had a younger brother who had been indolent from a young age, not even securing a stable job in the Safe Zone, and just idled about. Her parents constantly nagged her in front of him, urging her to find him an easy, well-paying job, but how could she possibly find one?

She did shamelessly ask around for jobs, but her brother disdained them all, finding them too tedious and too tiring, and felt she was belittling him!

Even though it had only been one to two months since she returned home, Li Qingyun felt mentally and physically exhausted, more than she had ever been in her life. What hurt her more was the attitude of her family.

If her superpower hadn’t been an auxiliary type and she hadn’t lacked force, she would have left this family long ago!

She thought she would be trapped in this household for life, never imagining she would see Fang Yuxin again. Such scenes had only occurred in her dreams. Seeing Fang Yuxin standing at the doorstep now, the long-repressed grievances welled up uncontrollably, her tears flowing like a broken dam.

The next moment, Li Qingyun threw herself into Fang Yuxin’s arms, clutching her tightly and crying loudly, her voice choked as she said, "Xinxin! Seeing you again in this lifetime is truly wonderful!"

Fang Yuxin, however, was a bit stunned. Her memory of Li Qingyun had always been of a cool, older sister-like figure who faced any difficulty unflinchingly and was much stronger than herself. But now, she was crying non-stop in her arms!

Fang Yuxin felt both surprised and heartbroken, then intense anger.

How much had Li Qingyun suffered these days to have broken down like this?

Fang Yuxin couldn’t even bear to think about it, just briefly imagining if Qianhe had spoken to her like how Li Qingyun’s mother did...

Just the thought left Fang Yuxin feeling an unbearable heartache.

The people who can hurt someone the most are always their closest ones! No matter how unpleasant things others might say, Fang Yuxin could ignore them, but if her relatives treated her this way, she couldn’t bear it!

Just then, the people inside the house noticed something was amiss outside, not sounding like someone picking a fight, so they opened the door and came out, standing in the living room to watch from a distance.

Seeing this, they noticed two strangers at the door, a man and a woman, both as good-looking as movie stars. And Li Qingyun, who had just been scolded, was embracing the strange girl, crying and looking like acquaintances.

They hesitated, then a middle-aged man wearing glasses tentatively asked, "Are you friends of Qingyun?"

At this question, Li Qingyun’s mother suddenly became livid and rushed to the vestibule, pointing at the door seriously damaged by Fang Yuxin and shouting, "Since you are Qingyun’s friends, you must pay for this door you damaged!"

She routinely scolded Li Qingyun and didn’t really consider her important, so she naturally didn’t care much about Li Qingyun’s friends. In her view, as friends of Li Qingyun, even if she was rude, these two would tolerate it out of respect for Li Qingyun.

However, she quickly realized her gross miscalculation.

Fang Yuxin didn’t humor her but instead looked at her coldly and scoffed, "You’re very bold to speak to me like that." (To be continued.
