Jiang Rushi knows her parents too well.
They kept calling her from different numbers, it's impossible they just wanted to yell at her.
So she interrupted their pointless cursing and told them to get down to business.
The person on the other end of the phone immediately fell silent.
After a while, they seemed to discuss something, and then it was Jiang's father's turn to speak, "Xiao Shi, your parents are doing this for your own good. Don't be angry with your mother. Someone has died here, and it's no longer safe to stay in the mountains. Could you take us to live with you?"
"What death has occurred?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rushi and Lin Yuan exchanged a glance, both becoming somewhat nervous.
Could it be that mirages have appeared in remote mountainous areas as well?
"I can't explain it clearly. I just know that a lot of people suddenly appeared. They didn't say a word and just started attacking. Many people in the village have died. Although they disappeared quickly, no one knows when they will come back."
"Please, I beg you, please save us!"
Jiang's father's voice choked with emotion, and his tone was urgent. He had truly been driven to a dead end and had no other choice.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rushi froze.
Although Lin Yuan had warned her about what she would encounter after the apocalypse, she still felt somewhat helpless when she heard her parents pleading with her own ears at this moment.
Lin Yuan stood quietly to the side, watching her expressionlessly.
I neither warned nor urged her, because this was one of the tests I was giving her.
If even such a small matter can be so easily shaken, then there's no need to keep her by my side anymore.
He had only heard about how chaotic the entire planet would become after the apocalypse, but he had never experienced it firsthand.
He also didn't know what those parallel worlds connected by mirages were like.
He needs to experience everything himself.
He will treat Jiang Rushi well because of what happened in her past life, as a way of repaying her kindness.
But it's impossible to let her indulge in her saintly sentiments here and do those pointless things.
After an eerily quiet moment, Jiang Rushi asked in a trembling voice, "Father, Mother, are you hiding anything from me?"
Knowing too much about certain people is a bad thing.
No matter how sincere or heartfelt the person's words were, it was impossible for her to completely believe them.
Having been scammed so many times before, I'm really afraid to trust them anymore.
Sure enough, after she spoke, there was an eerie silence on Jiang's father's side for a moment.
"I told you you're an ingrate. You heard that brat is going to marry you, so you're not planning to contact us anymore, right?"
"You brat! If no one had told me about this, were you planning to enjoy your life while we all grow old and die here?!"
"Why don't you just die!"
Jiang's father, enraged, began to hurl insults.
Jiang Rushi listened quietly to his cursing without saying a word. Although her eyes were red, she did not shed a tear.
Her gaze gradually turned cold as the insults continued.
"Did you finish scolding me?"
Only after Jiang's father had finally finished scolding her did she speak calmly.
These words left Jiang's father speechless for a moment.
"When you were trying to sell me to an old man for money, why didn't you offer to give me a share of the profits?"
She gave a self-deprecating laugh and said coldly, "Since none of you care whether I live or die, why should I care about you?"
She has done everything she could. Just surviving is a problem for her now. Where would she find the time to waste on someone like that?
She even doubted whether she was their biological daughter!
Otherwise, why have they been so heartless towards her all these years?
"Bye now!"
