After six years in the apocalypse, Xi Xi tragically died at the hands of her aunt's family. Unexpectedly, she was reborn on the day the apocalypse began. Just as she was preparing to leverage h...
What a clever way to shift the blame!
This move was a double-edged sword, both shifting the conflict to Chu Zhiqin and cleverly presenting the dirty laundry to "Brother Cheng".
On the surface, it seems to be accusing Chu Zhiqin of stealing the Liaoyuan Organization's supplies, but in reality, it is meant to imply that Chu Zhiqin's dishonesty will endanger the organization. It was deliberately said to "Brother Cheng".
Xi Xi chuckled to herself.
Chu Zhiqin crossed her arms, looked at Chu Wenwen with icy eyes, and curled a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth: "You say I stole your necklace, where is the evidence? Don't accuse someone without any proof."
Chu Wenwen was surprised that Chu Zhiqin, who was usually not good with words, was so calm. She felt a little flustered, but she still forced herself to speak:
"Evidence? Isn't the necklace around your neck evidence? That necklace is my wedding necklace. Everyone knows my husband is gone and my child is gone. You really are..."
Chu Wenwen started crying again. It was truly a thrilling acting battle.
They falsely accused their twin sisters of wearing gold necklaces that their parents had made for them as wedding necklaces.
Chu Wenwen started spouting nonsense. Was she trying to make things difficult for everyone, or was she actually trying to oust her so that she could take her place? Chu Zhiqin was puzzled.
People around Chu Zhiqin began to point and whisper, their eyes full of suspicion.
However, things did not go as smoothly as Chu Wenwen had hoped. In recent days, her reputation had plummeted, to the point that no one was willing to stand up for her.
Chu Wenwen was angry. Ignoring her leg injury, she suddenly cried out and sat down on the ground, then started crying and making a scene like a shrew.
She cried as she kept bringing up old grievances and recounting her grievances:
"So it really is your family! You're all jinxes! You killed my husband and children, and now you're even trying to steal my last remaining hope!"
"That child isn't even fully formed yet, how could you be so cruel as to do that!"
Chu Wenwen cried miserably, her words full of hidden meaning. She did not reveal the truth, but subtly shifted the blame for the deaths of her husband and child onto Chu Zhiqin.
"Did they watch too many period dramas about palace intrigue and come up with such a feudal idea with their toes?" Chu Zhiqin was speechless for a moment.
This weeping and wailing actually evoked pity in some people. Most of the members of the Wildfire organization were ordinary migrant workers, simple but lacking in education, so much so that some of the indifferent onlookers began to whisper among themselves.
"I'd heard that Old Chu lost his husband and child, so this is what happened..."
"What was her husband's name again, Rong something..."
"I've seen that necklace before, it really does look like that. You can never truly know a person's heart just by looking at their face!"
"Yes, yes, Old Chu always wears it; it has the character 'Chu' engraved on it..."
"How could you do that to children? How cruel! Aren't they sisters?"
...
Just as Chu Wenwen burst into tears, Xi Xi stepped out from the crowd, carrying a cow-patterned cat in her arms. She smiled and said, "Auntie, where did you lose your necklace? Do you want me to help you find it?"
Chu Wenwen was completely unprepared for this turn of events, and her face turned pale with fright as she screamed in panic.
She desperately tried to grab Aura, attempting to pull the calico cat off her hair. However, Aura was not afraid at all, and instead impatiently scratched Chu Wenwen twice more.
Two bloody marks instantly appeared on Chu Wenwen's face. Her hair was a mess, and as her hair bun came undone, a faint golden light flashed out from the mess.
The necklace got tangled in her hair, but Aura didn't care. Just as Xi Xi had instructed, she pulled hard without any mercy, tearing off a large clump of Chu Wenwen's hair, making her scream in pain.
Chu Zhiqin turned and glanced at Xi Xi, her eyes filled with sorrow.
In fact, Chu Wenwen used the same tactic in her previous life to force Xi Xi to hand over half of her supplies.
At that time, she was speechless and learned for the first time the ugly face hidden beneath her glamorous exterior, which deeply traumatized her.
Even though her aunt apologized afterwards, saying how confused and misunderstanding she had been, Xi Xi still harbored resentment towards her. It was through this incident that she gradually uncovered the truth about her parents' deaths.
Therefore, in this life, when Xi Xi saw Chu Wenwen give the necklace to her mother, she became more cautious.
In this life, everything is different. The apocalypse has not arrived. Instead, everyone has entered the world of survival games. My uncle and cousin are no longer stirring up trouble or making veiled accusations. The group that went to the survival base together was not bought off by Chu Wenwen's attempt to "use flowers to offer to Buddha".
However, Chu Wenwen still resorted to the same old tricks as in her previous life, which clearly shows that she is undoubtedly the main culprit.
It seems that no matter how many cycles of reincarnation occur, human nature remains difficult to change.
Chu Wenwen's face flushed red when she was exposed. She pointed at the necklace around Chu Zhiqin's neck and said, "Of course there are two wedding necklaces, right, right, the necklace around her neck belongs to my husband!"
"Your necklace has 'Chu' engraved on it, and my mom's necklace has 'Zhang' engraved on it, but my uncle's surname isn't Zhang either?" Xi Xi asked thoughtfully. "Does that mean you've found me a new uncle?"
The necklace was actually engraved with the surnames of her maternal grandparents, which Xi Xi naturally understood.
But she deliberately imitated Chu Wenwen's approach, blurring the key points and misleading the truth, simply to show her what it felt like to be overwhelmed by spittle.
The people around weren't stupid; seeing this scene, everyone understood the reason.
Chu Wenwen opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself, but found that she had nothing to say.
Chu Zhiqin stepped forward and looked coldly at Chu Wenwen, saying:
"I've always been tolerant of you out of sisterly affection. But you've schemed against me time and time again. It seems there's no need for us to associate anymore. From now on, our sisterly relationship ends here. You'd better take care of yourself."
Upon hearing this, Chu Wenwen trembled violently. Looking at Chu Zhiqin's resolute eyes, she was initially flustered, but after seeing the pointing and whispering expressions of the surrounding crowd, a fierce look then appeared on her face.
Chu Wenwen suddenly stood up, her hands gripping Chu Zhiqin's neck tightly like iron clamps, about to push her off the cliff.
Her face was extremely ferocious and terrifying. Just as she was about to exert force, a sharp, piercing pain suddenly shot through her injured leg.
In an instant, she lost her balance and collapsed to her knees.
Xi Xi, having stopped, flashed in front of Chu Zhiqin and shielded her mother behind her.
Chu Wenwen's action was all too familiar to her.
In her past life, her aunt and uncle took advantage of her weakened state to push her into the ruins of the earthquake fault zone. Unexpectedly, even in this second life, with no chance of redemption, this malicious thought still persists.
Xi Xi coldly drew her sickle and held it against Chu Wenwen's neck.
