Cheng Zhen gritted his teeth and thought: Maybe I should just tell her the truth!
She is the biological mother of the two children. She is right here. What more do you need to say?
But once the truth is told to her, how do we explain the series of events that follow?
Thinking of Jiang Xiaoshu's worried and solemn expression that day, he finally sighed deeply in his heart: "She's dead."
She forgot their past, which is tantamount to her being dead at that time, so there's nothing wrong with saying that.
Jiang Wan was very suspicious: "Dead?"
She stared at him intently, then continued, "Do you love her?"
Holy shit!
This is a trap!
But Cheng Zhen had no choice but to nod: "I love her."
But he immediately followed up by confessing his love to her: "Right now, I only love you!"
Tsk tsk, that's definitely the behavior of a scumbag!
They forget the old ones when they have new ones, haha!
Fortunately, Jiang Wan wasn't easily hurt, so she stopped dwelling on the topic and continued to ask him, "If you loved her so much, why did you throw away the two children she gave birth to?"
Cheng Zhen is truly suffering in silence. She still believes that she adopted the twins. How can he explain this to her?
Tears were streaming down his face, but he had to lie out loud: "I didn't. I didn't know they existed. I've been looking for their mother for so many years, but I couldn't find her. When I finally found them, I discovered she was already dead."
It's not exactly a lie; most of what she said is true. She genuinely didn't know about the child back then.
Jiang Wan herself couldn't remember how she had adopted the twins in the first place. Although she was skeptical of his words, she didn't dwell on it too much.
After careful consideration, she nodded: "I can try dating you."
Cheng Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to hug her, but she stopped him by stretching out her arms.
"Hey, wait a minute! Let me finish what I have to say. I only agreed to give you a try because of Xin Xin and Xiao Shu, and I also want to give them a complete environment to grow up in. But you can't push your luck and don't keep saying things like that."
Jiang Wan is usually aloof and indifferent, so it's rare for her to appear blushing and shy like this.
Cheng Zhen couldn't resist teasing her: "What do you mean by 'like that'?"
Jiang Wan's cheeks flushed red. Too lazy to say anything more to him, she glared at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense with me. It's getting late. You can go now. I'm going to put them to bed."
Cheng Zhen refused to leave, lamenting for the first time how inconvenient it was to live in a motorhome. He had his own ideas for doing something more demanding, but there was no room for him to do so!
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang Wan's waist, whispering menacingly in her ear, "I'll let you off the hook today, but you'll see!"
He jumped out of the RV, stood under the moonlight, looked at the territory he had conquered, and wondered if he should build some more oxygen storage rooms around it so that Jiang Wan could bring the children and live with him.
Although the RV has everything you need, it's still too small and cramped, making it inconvenient to do anything.
Without hesitation, he immediately summoned Yu Fen and asked, "Do we still have any leftover materials from the construction of the oxygen-free room?"
"That's all. At that time, we still had a row of houses left to build, and many people had nowhere to live, but we didn't have enough materials."
Cheng Zhen was quite surprised: "Is that so? Where are those people living now?"
"We'll just have to squeeze in with everyone else, there's no other way, we don't have enough materials."
Cheng Zhen, annoyed, asked, "Did you guys take all the materials back then?"
"Pretty much. Anyway, we moved every last bit of inventory from that building materials factory. What, boss, you want to build a house or something?"
"Hmm." Cheng Zhen thought for a moment and said, "We need to find some more oxygen storage materials. I just don't know where there are any factories that can produce such materials."
Yu Fen immediately offered a suggestion: "Find Zhang Hao! This is Zhusha City, and the entire surrounding area is under his jurisdiction. He should know exactly where the oxygen storage building materials factory is!"
"You're right." Without saying another word, Cheng Zhen opened the portal and brought the person over.
After he finished explaining his purpose, Zhang Hao's face turned completely black. What time is it now?
Who isn't sleeping at night? He's been on tenterhooks for so long, and tonight he can finally hold a beauty in his arms as he falls asleep. The good thing is just one step away from happening!
At that crucial moment, it was grabbed by a hand!
Just imagine his feelings; he'd be ready to kill someone. And all for some trivial matter? How would he know anything about pure oxygen materials?
"You don't know? Then how were these oxygen storage rooms in your Vermilion City built? Where did you buy the materials from?"
"Back then, everything was handled by the real estate company. They would then subcontract the work to construction teams, who would then subcontract it layer by layer. There were also suppliers and vendors, so how was I supposed to know where all the materials came from?"
Cheng Zhen laughed in anger, staring at him coldly and said, "City Lord Zhang doesn't seem like such a muddle-headed person. Are you sure you don't know anything? Before the apocalypse, oxygen storage materials weren't something that the general public could buy. If it weren't for your personal approval as the city lord, how would they dare to bring such an important resource into the city?"
Zhang Hao just didn't want to cooperate with him, so he said that on purpose.
Now that he had exposed it, he pretended to suddenly realize something and said unhurriedly, "Oh, it seems that's true. Let me think, the oxygen storage materials in our Vermilion City are all airlifted from Dragon City."
"What's going on? Aren't there any building material factories storing materials around here?"
"Yes, but those are all small factories that don't meet our production targets, so they're useless."
Cheng Zhen asked, "Where are those factories?"
"I really don't know. They're all small factories, who cares where they are?"
Seeing his disheveled state—completely naked except for a pair of shorts—Cheng Zhen was so angry she wanted to kick him.
Thinking this, he did just that, opening the portal and kicking him back.
Seeing that his boss was very agitated, Yu Fen couldn't help but ask considerately, "Boss, are you in a hurry? How about we go out for a walk in a while?"
Just to store materials? Cheng Zhen didn't intend to put his brothers in danger because of his personal matters, so he asked, "What are your plans?"
"We don't have enough meat. I want to go out and see if we can catch some more Little Mobo and Little Mobi to raise, as well as the Xingxing monster we encountered before."
Yu Fen said that it wasn't that he was greedy, but that the supplies were really not keeping up.
Everyone is expending a lot of energy every day, and everyone is getting extremely thin. As a result, the demand for meat is increasing dramatically.
