Chapter Thirty-Three: Winning a Heart
Josie looked up and saw two zombies lunging at the three of them.
Qiao Yue completely ignored the two people's lives and rushed towards Qiao Xi with a scream.
Just as Qiao Xi was about to pull Grandma Chen away, Zhao Wenjing beat her to it.
By the time she tried to dodge, Qiao Yue had already rushed in front of her.
He cried out, "Sister, please save me!"
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, and before he even arrived, his hand was already reaching for her.
Josie saw it all clearly, snorted, and was about to transform when suddenly an arm wrapped around her waist.
By the time she came to her senses, Feng Ye had already grabbed her waist and moved her aside.
Qiao Yue missed her grab and stumbled, falling to the ground.
Hehe...
A zombie pounced right behind it.
It was too late for Qiao Yue to get up. She kicked and screamed in panic, "No! Don't eat me!"
Su Mei, who was in the distance, had just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her husband kill a zombie. But when she turned around, she saw that the zombie was already in front of her daughter. She screamed and rushed over.
"Josh, please save your sister."
Su Mei ran while glancing at Qiao Xi.
Josie certainly wouldn't help, but the hand around her waist showed no sign of letting go.
She struggled, but not only did she fail to break free, Feng Ye seemed to hold her even tighter.
Josie looked up at the man; his sharply defined jawline was like a drawn blade.
Noticing her gaze, Feng Ye also looked down at her. "What, you want to save her?"
"How is that possible?"
Only then did Feng Ye's face reveal an expression of "this child is teachable".
Shouldn't you loosen your grip?
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Yue came over here. She kept kicking and thrashing her feet, and the zombies couldn't bite her for a while.
"Save me, please save me."
Qiao Yue looked at the people around her, her face full of pleading.
Chen Qiurong couldn't bear it any longer and turned her gaze away.
Lu Yuyang frowned and stood still, shielding Zhao Wenjing and the others behind him, but his gaze went past the zombies in the middle and Qiao Yue to Feng Ye on the other side.
Feng Ye quickly noticed Lu Yuyang's gaze, but remained unmoved by Qiao Yue's plea for help on the ground.
His hand never left Qiao Xi's waist, shifting occasionally as Qiao Yue approached.
Just then, Qiao Yue, who was on the ground, screamed, "Ah! I've been bitten! Help, help me!"
Josie quickly looked over and saw that the zombie was biting her foot, leaving it a bloody mess.
Just then, Su Mei ran over and smashed the stone in her hand on the zombie's head.
The zombie was momentarily stunned, then finally released its grip.
Su Mei had already seen the bite mark on her daughter's leg. As if suddenly stimulated, she completely forgot her fear of the zombies and began smashing the stone in her hand against the zombie's head.
Before long, the zombie's head had been smashed flat and it lay on the ground.
She even knelt down and smashed it forcefully.
"Mom, am I... going to become like them too?"
Su Mei snapped out of her daze, dropped the stone in her hand, knelt down to her side, and carefully hugged her. "No, no, you will always be Mommy's most beautiful little princess. You won't become like that, you won't!"
Qiao Yue couldn't stop crying, "But I was bitten, Mommy, I'm scared!"
"Don't be afraid! Mom has already killed it, it will never bite you again."
Su Mei used every means to please Qiao Zhian, transforming herself from a village girl into the wife of the CEO of a listed company. She was always ruthless and merciless towards her opponents.
Her only true feelings were probably reserved for her daughter.
Josie watched this scene with nothing but indifference in her eyes.
In her past life, she was young and naive. After being sown apart by Su Mei, she broke off her relationship with Qiao Zhian, which benefited those two despicable people.
I could have easily dealt with them in this lifetime.
But... that would be liberation, too merciful to them.
She wanted to watch them struggle in the apocalypse and fall into the abyss.
And now... this is just the beginning.
"You've softened your heart?" Feng Ye looked down at her.
Josie laughed as if she'd heard a joke. "How could that be? I'm so happy to see this."
Feng Ye's gaze swept across her face. "That's the right way to think. Those who hurt you should be repaid tenfold or a hundredfold."
As soon as Feng Ye finished speaking, Qiao Zhian ran over, his face still stained with zombie blood.
He also lost his mind after seeing his beloved youngest daughter being bitten by a zombie.
But his way of venting was the same as always: he directed his anger at Qiao Xi, "Qiao Xi, Qiao Yue is your own sister! How cold-blooded can you be to just watch her get bitten by a zombie?"
Josie remained unmoved. "You mean I should rush up and use my body to block her, letting the zombie bite me, right?"
Qiao Zhian roared, "You have a superhuman by your side. If you had just said so, your sister wouldn't have been bitten. How could you be so heartless!"
"How could I have such a heartless daughter!" he roared in anguish, as if he were in extreme pain.
“They are my comrades, not my subordinates. What makes you think they will listen to me just because I give them orders? Besides, why should I help Qiao Yue?”
Josie pointed her finger at Su Mei, "They drove my mother away and harassed her with messages every day, driving her to her death. I was too merciful for not attracting a bunch of zombies to bite you three to death!"
Enraged, Qiao Zhian completely lost his mind and charged at her with a dagger in hand.
Before he could even get close to Qiao Xi, Feng Ye kicked him in the stomach, sending him sprawling to the ground.
He groaned in pain, his face turning pale and then blue, but he couldn't utter a sound for a long time.
"Fengye, let's go."
With Qiao Yue bitten, it's no longer her concern how long the remaining two people will live.
Feng Ye hummed in agreement before releasing her.
Lu Yuyang, who was standing on the other side, also led Chen Qiurong up quickly.
Just as he was about to speak to Qiao Xi, Su Mei's voice rang out from behind.
"Josie! You bitch, I curse you to die a horrible death!" She cried and laughed at the same time, her voice filled with hatred for Josie.
Josie paused, turned back and smiled at her: "Too bad you can't see my fate, but I know you, you'll definitely die a worse death than me!"
After saying that, he ignored Su Mei's insults and walked away from his companions step by step.
"Sister Xixi, are you alright?"
Zhao Wenjing went to her side and tried to comfort her.
Josie smiled at her and said, "It's okay, they can't affect my mood."
Zhao Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she could still smile.
Lu Yuyang kept a distance that was neither too close nor too far from her.
After walking for a long time, she heard his clear voice, "If you're feeling down, you don't have to hide it with a smile."
Josie looked up at him.
She wouldn't let that family of three affect her mood, but she thought of her poor mother and felt really sad.
He took a piece of chocolate out of his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "When you're in a bad mood, eating this will make you feel better."
Qiao Xi smiled as she took it, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth, glancing at him with a smile, "Is this how Senior Lu wins the hearts of the female students?"
