Regardless of Jiang Wan's reaction, the twin siblings were the first to object!
The little girl, her face serious, stood with her hands on her hips and said, "We're very strong, we don't need your protection, you have ulterior motives! We're not taking you home!"
Jiang Xiaoshu, who had always thought his younger sister was too silly and couldn't be bothered to respond to her, surprisingly nodded and agreed, "My sister is right!"
Jiang Xiaoxin was very pleased with herself. She looked up at her mother with a plea for praise.
Although the timing wasn't right, Jiang Wan still gave her a pat on the head as a form of praise.
Then, with a cold expression, he said to Cheng Zhen, "First of all, I will not let you take these two children away until you give a reasonable explanation as to why you abandoned them back then."
The twins were instantly horrified upon hearing this.
Mom! How could you go back on your word? You promised you would never abandon them no matter what!
"Secondly, I am not a botanist, the list you have is wrong, I can't help you, don't waste your time on me."
Her refusal was quite decisive, which surprised Cheng Zhen somewhat.
His gaze was slightly complicated. It wouldn't be easy for a woman to raise two children in the apocalypse. And the way they were talking suggested that the twins didn't have a father, so their family was relying on her alone.
Given that, she should know what the benefits would be of becoming a botanist and helping the city guards, right?
At least they no longer have to worry about various survival supplies in the apocalypse, they don't need to go out of the city to mine crystals, and there are dedicated city guards to protect their personal safety.
Why wasn't she moved?
He couldn't understand it, but he couldn't just leave, so he could only endure it.
It's summer now, and the days are long, but it's gradually getting dark.
The two little ones are still very young and growing, so they were already hungry. They had suppressed their hunger earlier because they were too sad, but now they couldn't stand it anymore.
The little sister started crying first: "Waaah, Mommy, I'm so hungry! My tummy hurts from hunger! Waaah..."
Cheng Zhen raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Wan, as if to say, "You can afford to wait, but the children can't. Why don't you go home?"
Jiang Wan's expression remained unchanged, but her heart was ice-cold: What a scumbag father! He really doesn't love his child; he actually used the child's body to waste her time! Despicable! Shameless!
Because of him, she can't entrust the children to him!
Otherwise, who knows what kind of inhuman abuse the two children would have suffered!
The two little ones were so hungry that they whimpered weakly, their sobs barely audible. If they knew what their mother was thinking at that moment, she would probably cry even more pitifully and miserably. In short, she would do everything she could to smear this man and win her mother's sympathy so that she wouldn't hand them over!
Jiang Wan was filled with regret. She had taken advantage of her tree hole space to leave no food in the car. Now that the two children were starving, she couldn't find a single thing to feed them.
Such a young child is most vulnerable to hunger. What if he gets sick from being hungry?
She was filled with regret and heartache, and dared not gamble with the health of her two little ones, much less reveal the secret of the tree hole space to outsiders. So she could only give the directions: "Silver City Elegant Seat".
Cheng Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Threatening people with two little ones would really damage his prestigious reputation as the captain of the city guard!
He took two candies out of his pocket, put them in his palm and handed them to the child: "Don't cry, here's some candy. We'll go home soon."
He swore that this was the first time in his thirty years of life that he had been so gentle, kind, and approachable!
but!
The two children were so frightened that they turned pale and forgot to cry, instead burrowing into their mother's arms!
What a disappointment!
He could only slink away to the front to drive, and you can imagine how unpleasant his expression was.
Jiang Wan sneered behind him: "Serves you right for abandoning your own flesh and blood. Now the child doesn't recognize you anymore, serves you right!"
When they left, the entire area around Yincheng Yazu was in turmoil, but now, people have gone about their business: some are queuing to exchange for coupons, others are queuing to buy oxygen cylinders, and even the long lines outside the nearby supermarkets are more orderly and quiet than usual.
It is clear that these people were suppressed by force while they were away.
Jiang Wan ignored all of that. She pointed to the spot where he should park his car, and then took the elevator directly from the garage to the 17th floor.
Cheng Zhen was quite surprised; it was on the 17th floor of Building 1...
That day, there was a childish voice leaning against the door, and a clear, cold female voice.
So it was her!
The elevator doors opened, and Jiang Wan paused, her tone icy, her temper flaring as she demanded, "What are you doing?"
Ge Youcai was fiddling with something that looked like a wire in his hand, while the old lady from the 18th floor stood behind him, keeping watch for him.
Hearing the elevator hum, she immediately reached out to nudge her son to alert him, but it was too late.
Jiang Wan and Cheng Zhen witnessed the pickpocket unlocking the door.
Jiang Wan's eyes were icy cold. Cheng Zhen couldn't help but narrow his eyes. It seemed that his decision to come along today was incredibly wise!
He was tall with long legs, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Coupled with his imposing presence, he exuded a strong sense of pressure even from a distance. And looking at his attire, he was clearly a member of the city guard!
Ge Youcai was dumbfounded. When he looked at the badge on his shoulder, his legs went weak!
Damn! His official rank is way higher than that of Cao Jin, the guy who tricked him before!
He was filled with regret. He had been secretly watching Cao Jin's plan to trick Jiang Wan into leaving the house. He knew those people had no good intentions and was certain that the woman would never return, which was why he agreed to let his parents act immediately!
Seeing that things were going badly, the old lady immediately cried out "Ouch!" and lay down on the ground, pretending to be sick.
Jiang Wan was furious. She had no choice but to admit that she had no good way to deal with such a shameless old man!
It's infuriating that we can't even fight back!
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the man who insisted on following her home. A thought struck her, and she turned to look at him, her gaze cold and clear: Didn't you say you were going to protect them? Well, this is your chance to prove yourself!
Cheng Zhen wouldn't let those two off the hook even without her permission!
In the face of the apocalypse, survival is already difficult enough in such a harsh environment, yet people still harm each other?
groove!
Besides mutated plants, what he hates most right now are these rats in the human race!
What's more, this rotten apple has fallen on his head!
That's practically suicide!
He clenched his fists together, making a cracking sound, and walked towards them step by step, his powerful aura suffocating them: "Confess here? Or in the city guard's interrogation room?"
