Chapter 215 An Irresistible Charm
Although she also felt that her son deserved the exclusive and unique love of a good woman.
Unfortunately for them, the world was beyond their control.
Besides... they were also the culprits who caused their separation.
If they hadn't interfered, Miss Qiao might not have left her son in a fit of pique, and none of what happened afterward would have occurred.
If anyone's to blame, it's them.
Besides, she knew her son well; there was no going back on what he said.
They couldn't change Josie, nor could they change their son; the only thing they could change was their own thoughts.
She patted her son's arm. "Okay, Mom understands."
After saying that, she turned back and tried to persuade her stubborn husband.
Before he could even speak, Mr. Lu had already started cursing: "Look at this! Look at what she looks like! That bastard! What's the point of having a woman like that? There are plenty of other women in the world!"
When Mr. Lu saw his wife walk back to his side, he immediately pointed ahead, his voice trembling with anger.
Lu's mother pulled him back, lowering her voice: "Say less! Yu Yang is right, the world has changed. Look at the men around Miss Qiao, aren't they all exceptional individuals, one in a million? Each one is powerful and has an extraordinary presence. This precisely demonstrates that Miss Qiao herself possesses immense charm and remarkable qualities!"
She paused, her voice softening further: "Your son probably fought hard to earn the right to stand by her side! If you ruin this, Miss Qiao may lose Yu Yang, but she still has other excellent men around her. But what about our son? He might really be destined to be a bachelor for the rest of his life. In this world, can you bear to let him be all alone?"
"Then stay single!"
Mr. Lu, his neck stiff with rage, shouted, "My son, Lu, will not suffer such humiliation! I'd rather he remain a bachelor than see him like this... like this..."
He couldn't find the right words to describe this relationship; he just felt incredibly frustrated.
Just then, a slight commotion came from the back of the group.
A tall, handsome figure was seen rushing against the flow of people towards the front of the group.
The man was travel-worn, yet his outstanding appearance and cold, powerful aura were undeniable; he was none other than Shen Han, who had returned!
He had a clear goal and headed straight for where Josie was.
When he saw Josie, his coldness seemed to melt away instantly, and his eyes became focused and gentle.
He walked over to Josie's other side quite naturally, first carefully examining her to make sure she was alright.
After a while, he took out a water bottle from his backpack, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to her with practiced ease.
He whispered something to her, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Josie naturally took the water bottle, took a sip, and smiled back at him.
This scene was witnessed in its entirety by Mr. and Mrs. Lu, who had been closely watching from behind.
Mr. Lu felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, nearly choking on his own breath. His finger trembled as he pointed in that direction: "Another...another one? This...this is outrageous! How many men has she had? One after another...how can she be worthy of my son!"
Mr. Lu was so angry that he was incoherent.
Lu's mother was also stunned, feeling a mix of emotions.
Although she tried to persuade her husband, seeing yet another outstanding man being so considerate to Josie left her with mixed feelings.
She murmured, "Maybe... Yu Yang is right... We're getting old, we can't understand things anymore... This child, she..."
Before she could finish speaking, her father angrily interrupted her: "She's not good enough for my son! Why can't I say so?"
Looking at her husband's face, which was flushed with anger, and then at the "strange" yet inexplicably "harmonious" scene in front of her, Lu's mother finally let out a longer and more helpless sigh.
In this apocalypse, everything has truly changed.

As the core leader of the entire relocation team, Lu Yuyang needed to coordinate the overall situation and deal with various emergencies. He was always busy at the forefront of the team, coordinating all parties and issuing instructions.
Shen Han's return undoubtedly injected a stronger protective force into this large team, easing the pressure on Lu Yuyang's shoulders somewhat.
The team's journey went surprisingly smoothly for most of the day. They did not encounter any large-scale zombie hordes, only a few scattered zombies, which were quickly dealt with by the superhumans on the periphery before they could get close.
During the lunch break, the logistics team set up a large pot and used rice that the wood-type ability user had urgently cultivated, along with a small amount of vegetables, to make a big pot of fragrant braised rice.
Although it wasn't a feast, it was a rare treat during the migration. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and rested for a while, their morale seemed to be much higher, and they continued on their way.
Before setting off again, Lu Yuyang specifically sought out Fengye.
He looked serious as he gazed at the faint outline of the city on the horizon.
"Feng Ye, we're about to traverse the abandoned City C. The city is complex, densely built, and full of hidden dangers, with limited escape routes. You're incredibly strong, especially your area-of-effect attacks, which are unmatched in the team. I hope... you can stay at the rear of the team to hold the line. In case of an attack from the rear, or if zombies flank or surround us from the side or rear, we'll need your strength to clear the area instantly and protect the ordinary people who can't defend themselves."
His gaze was filled with trust and pleading.
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye immediately frowned.
He subconsciously looked at Qiao Xi not far away, as well as Granny Chen and Zhao Wenjing beside her.
He didn't feel comfortable leaving them. As for the lives of the others... to be honest, he didn't care that much.
Qiao Xi noticed his hesitation and resistance, and took the initiative to walk over, speaking softly, "Feng Ye, go and guard the rear. I'm also an ability user, and I have the ability to protect myself in case of danger. Besides, Chen Han is back too."
She looked at Shen Han beside her, "His ability has a wide controllable range. Protecting Grandma, Wenjing, and this area should be no problem."
Seeing that Feng Ye still kept his lips pursed and didn't nod, she reached out and gently grasped his slightly rough hand, softening her voice with a hint of pleading: "Those ordinary people... they are the hope of the future. Once we reach the new base, some of them are very likely to be transformed into new superhumans and become the backbone of our construction. We need them, Feng Ye. For our long-term future, is that alright?"
Her eyes were clear and firm, making it impossible to refuse them.
Feng Ye's originally hardened defenses crumbled instantly under her gentle words and touch.
He took her hand in his own, and finally gave in: "Okay, I promise you."
