Chapter 571: Apocalypse True Daughter Cannon Fodder (42)

As they passed by the Jia Family’s fruit and vegetable store, several women came out.

Luo Ning caught sight of Luo Baomiao trailing behind the group, like a little follower.

When they saw Long Feifei, smiles appeared on their faces.

The group greeted her with smiles first, "Feifei, you’re out shopping too."

Long Feifei’s family was originally from the Capital City, primarily engaged in the communications business.

After the apocalypse, relying on their expertise in communications technology, they had connected with the Base, and the current communication devices were jointly developed by the Long Family and the Base.

Now, the head of the Long Family was Long Feifei’s grandfather, so as soon as the Long Family arrived at the Base, they secured their footing.

Long Feifei was the only granddaughter of the younger generation in the Long Family and had always been cherished by her grandfather and grandmother; she frequently used to return to Capital City.

So, even though she had just arrived at the Kyoto Base yesterday, the people from the major families here were still quite polite to Long Feifei.

Long Feifei smiled at them, "Yes, just out shopping with friends."

Lady Jia Baofeng and other ladies spoke up, inviting Long Feifei, "Feifei, there’s a big gathering the day after tomorrow, come join us!"

Long Feifei’s gaze fell on Luo Baomiao, who was standing at the back, "I find Luo Baomiao tiresome, I won’t go if she is there."

Luo Baomiao, already feeling aggrieved from following the shopping trip, remained silent.

No wonder Long Feifei got along with Luo Ning; they were both similarly malicious and annoying.

Jia Baofeng’s expression stiffened, and with a forced smile, she said, "The gathering the day after tomorrow, I won’t bring her along, so you should come."

She added, "Moreover, you will definitely receive an invitation too; it’s organized by Miss Qin."

This was a major gathering for the high society, and she had obtained an invitation through relationships from before the apocalypse.

In fact, even if Long Feifei hadn’t mentioned it, she hadn’t intended to bring Luo Baomiao.

Today, the Zuo Family announced the cancellation of the marriage arrangement with the Luo Family, and the deeds of Luo Baomiao had spread everywhere.

Luo Baomiao had lost her reputation, and of course, it had also affected both the Luo Family and their Jia Family.

She used to get along well with Luo Baomiao, but now, due to this incident, she could hardly stand the sight of her.

She hadn’t wanted to bring Luo Baomiao out today, but the woman had been persistent in following, so she had relented.

She hadn’t expected to run into Long Feifei, who openly showed disdain for Luo Baomiao.

She didn’t blame Long Feifei; after all, no one would be cordial to someone who tried to seduce their fiancé.

She felt it was a huge mistake to have brought Luo Baomiao out; it was too embarrassing.

Long Feifei showed a satisfied smile, "I did indeed receive the invitation, I’ll go and have fun the day after tomorrow."

She had intentionally embarrassed Luo Baomiao just now and really didn’t want to see this woman.

The people with Jia Baofeng eyed the two individuals beside Long Feifei, asking her, "Are these your friends?"

Long Feifei smiled as she introduced them, "Yes, these are my good friends Luo Ning and Mi Yan."

All along the way, she had been learning combat and martial skills with Luo Ning and Mi Yan, and their friendship had grown stronger.

Jia Baofeng paused upon hearing Luo Ning’s name, her gaze scrutinizing Luo Ning with a picky expression.

She had always known about Luo Ning but had never met her before.

Now, she disapproved of Luo Baomiao and was equally dismissive of Luo Ning.

She even felt some transferred anger towards Luo Ning, especially since if not for Luo Ning, Zuo Xia would not have called off the engagement with Luo Baomiao.

And she had been foolish enough to willingly cede the position of the rich girl to Luo Baomiao.

Now, tagging along with that worthless adopted brother, she wouldn’t amount to much in the future.

So even though she knew Luo Ning was her own cousin, she pretended not to recognize her.

"Hello, you all."

The other young ladies had not heard of Luo Ning and Mi Yan’s names, and their attitudes were very cold.

Luo Ning and Mi Yan naturally would not impose their warmth upon others’ cold fronts, replying similarly, "Hello, you all."

Luo Ning noticed Jia Baofeng casting looks of appraisal, disdain, and displeasure toward her, which she found quite amusing.

Indeed, just like the Luo Family, they were all nothing but snobbish.

After her original persona returned to the Luo family, because she came from a small county, Mother Luo felt her manners weren’t up to par and feared embarrassment if she took her out, hence she never took her original persona back to her maternal home in the Capital City.

During last year’s New Year, they planned to take her original persona back to the Capital City for a visit.

However, her original persona fell ill due to Luo Baomiao deliberately inciting Fifth Luo to take her out skiing right before New Year.

Mother Luo naturally would not take her sick daughter to her maternal home, as other people would consider it bad luck.

As such, despite returning to the Luo family for a year and a half, her original persona had never once met her grandparents and other members of the Jia Family.

Even after her identity was exposed, Luo Baomiao had gone to play at the Jia Family several times in a year and a half, mostly invited by them.

Ironically speaking.

The Jia Family showed no interest in recognizing her as their granddaughter, and Luo Ning was even less interested.

Luo Ning narrowed her eyes—now that the Jia Family was depending on vegetables and fruits from the farm for a living, should she sabotage it?

This idea seemed not too bad; since they looked down on her, she might as well snatch the Jia Family’s business away.

Especially since, in that life, the Jia Family had depended on her original persona’s Jade Pendant Spring Water to make a fortune and become a family chased after in high society.

Might as well return the stolen karma in this life.

Long Feifei also noticed the cold disdain the others showed towards Luo Ning and Mi Yan, and she was displeased, as these were her friends.

"We’re leaving." She casually nodded a greeting and took Luo Ning and Mi Yan forward.

Jia Baodiao and her group could clearly see Long Feifei’s coldness and casualness, feeling annoyed but not daring to offend, could only smile and say goodbye.

Yet they all secretly resented Luo Baomiao inside, thinking it was her shamelessness that upset Long Feifei and thus involved them.

Thus, as they walked, Jia Baodiao and her group continuously ridiculed Luo Baomiao to the point of almost making her cry.

Luo Ning and her group had walked a distance but still heard the voices of Jia Baofeng and others coming from behind.

"Coming from the same city as s, Long Feifei is a much sought-after lady, dumped her fiancé, yet attracted even more pursuits from wealthy heirs."

"Look at you, though, incompetent and more than capable of messing things up, you not only lost the Zuo Family’s engagement but also brought disgrace upon your family in the Capital City."

"How shameless can you be, seducing both Long Feifei’s fiancé and your own brother."

It was Jia Baodiao who was scolding.

Then another lady said aside, "After all, she’s not a real rich girl, I heard her real dad is a gambler, her mom used to sell vegetables, and her aunt is a nanny who even steals children."

"Old sayings go, dragons breed dragons, phoenixes breed phoenixes, and a rat’s son will make holes."

"Exactly, it’s all inherited from her biological parents, shameless."

"Baofeng, don’t bring her out to embarrass us anymore, we don’t want to play with her anyway," the others echoed.

Jia Baofeng hummed in response, "Got it, I didn’t want to bring her anyway."

Listening to these words, Luo Ning’s lips curled into a meaningful arc.

These people were all once close playmates of Luo Baomiao in the Capital City, who certainly didn’t shy away from belittling and cursing her original persona behind her back.

Particularly Jia Baofeng and Luo Baomiao were close friends; even their similar names pointed to them being like sisters.

Were they, who were like sisters in that life, now so quickly fallen out?

Thus, even the best "sisterly" friendships can’t withstand reality!
