Chapter 64 -64: The Door is Pried Open at Midnight
Xia Chaoyang wasn’t stupid; he looked at Jhiang Yuan, feeling somewhat alienated.
Sitting on the ground, he somewhat came to terms with the current situation.
“Tell me, no matter what I do, you won’t forgive me, will you?”
Jhiang Yuan wasn’t afraid either and let out a cold laugh.

“You’re right, even if you died, I wouldn’t forgive you.”
“I just made a mistake that any man could make…”
“Stop right there…”
Jhiang Yuan extended her hand, looking at him with some irritation, not sure where he got the nerve.
“Don’t drag down other men with you, you’re an adult and you know exactly what you’re doing.
Moreover, you’re not truly remorseful, and I’m not a trash can.
If you want to continue our past relationship, just stop talking, it’s disgusting.”
“Heh, I knew it, you never intended to let me in, not from the start.”
Xia Chaoyang mocked himself, thinking Jhiang Yuan would act as before.
He thought she would take pity on him seeing him like this.
But with his bruised face and pretense of deep emotion and hurt, it was somewhat comical and absurd.
“Good that you know, let’s not talk about going our separate ways. From now on, we are enemies, the kind that will fight to the death.
You don’t have food or clothes at home, do you? Then buy them like everyone else.
Your mom has quite a bit of savings, enough to support a family of four.”
Half of that money was earned by Jhiang Yuan, and it was only right to give it back to her now.
Moreover, Old Mrs. Xia particularly distrusted others, including banks.
Her money was all in cash, hidden at home.
They all came with Bai Mengmeng to Lushan Garden, she would definitely bring the money.
“Jhiang Yuan, do you know something, is that why you took all the money?”
Xia Chaoyang looked at her, his eyes somewhat cloudy.
“If I knew something, you’d have been left with nothing. In the end, I trusted you too much.”
“I’ve received calls demanding payment. At first, I thought they had the wrong number, but then one call followed another.
Only you had the opportunity, and my ID card, credit cards, did you take them?”
At this point in the conversation, Jhiang Yuan knew he was suspicious.
But what of it? She simply wouldn’t admit it, let him have his suspicions.
“Xia Chaoyang, you really overestimate yourself.
Your cards don’t have that much credit on them, I’d rather buy a huge insurance policy on you and then kill you.”
After saying that, she cast a disdainful glance at him.
“Hurry up and get out, or you’ll be left alone here in a moment.”
Xia Chaoyang did indeed look back nervously, then wobbled to his feet, limping down the stairs.
Old Lady Xia had run away a while ago, even though she had been hit.
The people from Building 9 hadn’t gone all in, pretending to be too injured to move.
Clearly, Jhiang Xingzhi had noticed this as well.
“Daughter, will they come to make trouble?”
“They will, for sure.”
“Then you stay inside, dad will protect you.”
She thought Jhiang Xingzhi would be worried or criticize her for being too impulsive.
Instead, he was just concerned for her safety.
“It’s fine, dad, go back. I’m not afraid of anyone.”
What Jhiang Yuan didn’t expect was that Old Mrs. Xia, including her family, no one came over.
In the afternoon, a few more people came and bought quite a bit, including some alcohol.
Nowadays, with the cold, liquor was very popular.
The fiery drink warms the heart, as if everything had returned to its most primal state.
The internet connection is not good, or else they could share this with the members of their small squad.
She told Dad to pay more attention to the situation outside while she went back to tidy things up.
In the yard outside the space, there were still quite a few things.
The wooden furniture couldn’t be put away, but the rest of the items still needed to be sorted out, all stacked neatly around the edge of the front courtyard.
Even by evening, there was still no sign of anyone coming for revenge.
Either Old Mrs. Xia was scared, or her family didn’t take her seriously.
Anyway, with the danger gone, she could finally relax.
Today’s events had served as a warning to her.
From now on, if it wasn’t a sure shot, she couldn’t be too reckless.
She had been exercising these past two days, but killing a person was not that simple.
Moreover, she had to do it one by one, if it were a group of people, she really wouldn’t stand a chance.
At night, the wind outside seemed to grow stronger, and the torrential rain pelted the windows, as if it could break through at any moment.
“Mommy, why did Daddy come over?”
Xiao Nuan looked at Jhiang Yuan, her face serious.
“Because Daddy wants our stuff to take back and give to that aunt and her child to eat, Xiao Nuan, Mommy won’t give it to Daddy, because it’s for you.”
“I don’t like that aunt, and I don’t like Daddy either. I don’t want to give them anything to eat.”
Jhiang Yuan looked at her daughter in front of her, a three-year-old child, what could she know?
“Xiao Nuan, listen to Mommy. We don’t give food to anyone, and we can’t tell others that we have food at home.
Promise Mommy, okay?”
“Mmm, okay!”
The little girl nodded earnestly, not asking why, as Jhiang Yuan ruffled her fluffy hair.
You can’t explain the apocalypse to her; she wouldn’t understand.
But these behaviors and manners need to be ingrained in her bit by bit.
“Alright, let’s go to sleep then.”
Both of their bedside tables had electric heaters turned on, and she went to fill two hot water bottles to place inside the covers.
The house was stocked with down quilts, light yet warm.
Now, the nighttime temperature had dropped to minus fifteen or sixteen degrees; they had to ensure proper warmth.
They had plenty of medicines at home, but they still needed to focus on stockpiling some more soon, just in case.
Jhiang Yuan slept fitfully, feeling that something was amiss, but not knowing what it was.
Was she sick? Tossing and turning, there was an unease in her heart.
“No good, I need to get up and drink some water.”
Thinking this, she really did get up.
Heading to the living room, she instinctively glanced towards the entrance hall. Through the stairwell’s surveillance, she saw two men and a woman picking the lock.
“This… what the…”
They had just started, and these three people didn’t look very professional.
She could hardly restrain herself, grabbing a weapon, unsure of the intruders’ capabilities.
To be safe, she decided to wake up her parents.
“What, someone is picking the lock?
Daughter, don’t be scared, Dad will take a look…”
Jhiang Xingzhi said as he got dressed, while Jhiang Yuan told Qin Yue to keep an eye on Xiao Nuan as she too decided to go out.
“Okay, daughter, don’t worry!”
Jhiang Yuan didn’t change her clothes and followed Jhiang Xingzhi out the door.
The two of them were very quiet, and as soon as the door opened, a person and a dog appeared opposite them.
God damn it, she took out a small night light and saw a silhouette from a distance.
Well, who was trying to scare whom?
Song Yi made a silence gesture and pointed outside.
