Chapter 69 Farewell Wine



Jiang Qingwan couldn't wait to reveal to the world what Jiang Si had been hiding.

It can be explained in just a few words.

"It's a very cliché story, a real heiress and a fake heiress. I am the real heiress who was separated from her family and lived away from home. Jiang Si fought with me, tried to take my place, and even framed me. They all disliked me."

"Then why should I like them?"

Zhou Ming nodded, expressing his shock: "I never would have guessed they were these kinds of people."

Jiang Qingwan snorted and continued, "That's right. They're quite normal when I'm not around. But the moment I appear, it's like a submerged bomb that destroys their family harmony."

Ye Qi gazed at Jiang Qingwan's fair face and said with heartache, "They didn't bully you, did they? I'll help you from now on."

Commander Wang and Zhou Ming exchanged a glance.

Commander Wang looked at Zhou Ming with disdain and said, "Look at him, and then look at yourself. How can you talk like that?"

Ignoring Commander Wang's banter, Jiang Qingwan replied to Ye Qi, "I used to be soft-hearted, but not anymore."

Ye Qi understood immediately, but didn't show it on his face. He said hastily, "Then I understand. I know how to face them in the future."

She used to be soft-hearted, so she must have been bullied.

The debt must be repaid double.

Jiang Qingwan said to Commander Wang, "It's getting late. I can't delay your other work and rest. Give me the mission reward, and then I'll leave."

Commander Wang repeatedly urged him to stay: "Are you really not considering staying at our base? What do you think of Zhou Ming's position? We'll give it to you in the future."

Zhou Ming readily stepped aside, fawningly saying, "Yeah, you stay. I'll be your little brother, I'll do whatever you tell me."

Aoyama Base is not a good place to go.

In the end times, officials protect each other and collude with one another.

In order to keep himself, he could even expel the Jiang Si family of superhumans who had contributed to the base.

It's commonplace for people with superpowers to exploit ordinary people.

Even though she was in a position of power, Jiang Qingwan didn't like this one-sided environment.

Jiang Qingwan refused impatiently, reiterating her demand: "Give me the task reward. Don't be so fussy, guys."

Ye Qi chimed in, "Yes. How come you guys have so much free time? But we're very busy; the tasks we take on all have time limits."

Seeing that they could not persuade them and that the other party was about to lose their temper, Commander Wang and Zhou Ming dared not say anything more.

Immediately hand over the spatial container holding the crystal to Jiang Qingwan.

After confirming that the quantity was correct, Jiang Qingwan left the office.

Zhou Ming still wanted to see Jiang Qingwan off.

Jiang Qingwan interrupted Zhou Ming, "It's the apocalypse, there's no need for this whole send-off thing."

Jiang Si's voice came from afar and grew closer. Jiang Si opened the door and said, "It's necessary, how could it not be necessary? You don't have time to go home and see your parents, so as a family, I'll see you off."

The security guard stood apologetically to the side: "Commander Wang, Colonel Zhou, I really couldn't stop Miss Jiang Si."

Jiang Qingwan scoffed, "What are you doing here? Planning to shine my shoes in private?"

Jiang Si pretended not to hear the second part of the sentence and only answered the first part: "I've come to give you a farewell dinner."

"I urge you to drink another cup of wine, for beyond Yangguan there will be no old friends." As Jiang Si spoke, she took out two bottles of canned fruit wine from the bag she was carrying.

He opened the canister lid, handed it to Jiang Qingwan, and said, "Sister, have a sip."

Jiang Qingwan found it somewhat amusing and said jokingly, "You might as well skip the farewell drink and just break ties directly. In this apocalypse, there's no need to pretend, is there?"

Jiang Si's eyes flickered, but she still stubbornly insisted, "My sister always misunderstands me. I don't know what I did wrong."

Jiang Si stretched the wine jar forward again, urging, "Since it's already the end of the world, let's toast each other and let bygones be bygones."

"Since you put it that way, and the atmosphere is right, why not have a drink with my sister?" Jiang Qingwan accepted the offer and was about to take a sip.

But Ye Qi snatched it away, saying, "I'll drink it for her."

"No—" Two different female voices shouted at the same time.

The liquid in the wine jar had already slid down Ye Qi's throat.
