Chapter 475: 262 Li Qingyun’s Decision (Third Update)_2

Li Qingyun couldn’t stand it any longer when she heard this. She shouted at the man, "Dad! They are my friends, so you better speak kindly! After all, even if you shamelessly show no respect, I still want to keep my dignity! Also, mom is totally fine. If you really care about her, help her into the house. Don’t let her embarrass herself out here!"

She had a cold and imposing appearance. Although her features weren’t delicate, there was a compelling aura about her. She had been scolded by her family for so long and had never burst out before. She always appeared as a meek and easily bullied softie, and her family, having seen much of this, naturally didn’t take her seriously.

However, as she suddenly became assertive, the aura she exuded was palpably intimidating. The man didn’t even dare to meet her gaze, his eyes wavering, an expression that made him look despicable.

Li Qingyun cast a glance at the other people in the living room, sneered coldly, and then turned away.

Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye led the way down the stairs, with Li Qingyun following them. Once they were downstairs, she took them to a recreational area in the residential complex.

The area was fitted with leisure chairs and several pieces of fitness equipment. Before the apocalypse, it was often populated with people working out or playing, but now it was completely deserted and desolate.

After the three of them sat down, Li Qingyun apologized, "Xinxin, I’m sorry for the scene you just witnessed."

Fang Yuxin didn’t want to listen to any of that. Knowing Li Qingyun’s pride, she didn’t ask how she had been getting on these days. Instead, she asked, "Would you like to come with us? To leave this Safe Zone?"

Li Qingyun was momentarily stunned, then fell silent.

Fang Yuxin watched her, feeling her heart sink. Although she disliked how the Li Family treated Li Qingyun, if Li Qingyun herself didn’t care, what could she, an outsider, really say?

If Li Qingyun didn’t want to leave with her, then, despite her regret, she wouldn’t insist.

Bai Ye was sitting beside them, observing everything. Seeing the look of concern in Fang Yuxin’s eyes and feeling a bit of displeasure towards Li Qingyun, Bai Ye, having been a mercenary for many years and seen the darker sides of human nature, knew that some people’s lives were filled with suffering and bullying. He had never harbored sympathy for such individuals.

Everyone has their moments of suffering. If you can’t fight for yourself, how can you expect others to help you?

Fang Yuxin risked danger to come here for her, yet she didn’t want to leave with them. Bai Ye felt that Li Qingyun really didn’t deserve Fang Yuxin’s efforts!

Yet, just when Bai Ye thought so, Li Qingyun suddenly spoke up, "Xinxin, thank you for coming to find me despite the dangers. I’ll go with you."

Both Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were taken aback by her words. Fang Yuxin raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "Are you sure? You should know one thing, I’ll only take you with me. I won’t take any of your family."

Li Qingyun suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, "Family? No, they are not my family anymore." After saying this, she lowered her head and remained silent for a moment. Then she suddenly added, "Xinxin, I’m sorry. You gave me money to buy supplies, but most of them were taken by those people to give away."

Fang Yuxin had already guessed as much. She had previously used her Spiritual Sense to scan the house and discovered the supplies were very scarce, which was not normal! Considering Li Qingyun herself had tens of thousands in savings from working and economizing, and that she had given her a million, and persistently urged Li Qingyun to purchase supplies, there was no way there should have been so little left.

She had speculated whether it might have been stolen, but she hadn’t expected it to be taken by the people inside the house to give away!

They had some nerve! And their shamelessness was simply too much!

But... there was no need to say these things to Li Qingyun. It was good if Li Qingyun understood on her own. If she couldn’t see it, what use would there be in saying anything more?

Li Qingyun wasn’t a fool. She should have seen clearly what those people were like by now! If she hadn’t, then it meant Fang Yuxin had misjudged her.

Remaining silent, Li Qingyun continued, "The superpower I awakened is a Mutated Wood Element, which is unfortunate because it doesn’t have the ability to heal or spur the growth of plants. I can only extract the essence from plants. Given this, I ended up as an assistant in the research institute here. If you want to take me away, it won’t be so easy." She finished with a wry laugh.

Fang Yuxin sensed something off in her words and immediately asked, "What’s going on?"

Li Qingyun explained, "When you came in, they must have tested your blood, right? I developed those test strips, but the results were claimed by a senior researcher above me. He has been pushing me relentlessly to conduct some research and keeps a very close eye on me. If you want to take me with you, he definitely won’t agree."

Hearing this, Fang Yuxin’s expression darkened. She had been curious about who had invented those test strips, not expecting it to have been Li Qingyun. What shocked her even more was that the results of Li Qingyun’s hard work had been stolen!

However, she didn’t rashly decide to stand up for Li Qingyun, merely stating, "We’re leaving now. I want to see who dares to stop us!"

Hearing this, Li Qingyun became anxious, "Leave now? But I—" She wanted to say that she needed to pack some things, but upon meeting Fang Yuxin’s gaze, she found herself unable to speak.

Upon reflection, she suddenly felt that it was for the best. The people in that house were no longer her family, and she saw no need to go back. As for the remaining supplies, she could consider them a final compensation to her family.
