On the last day before the apocalypse, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen didn't go anywhere; they just stayed quietly in the shelter.
All fuel and shelter facilities have been prepared today, ready to cope with the arrival of extreme cold.
The second layer of walls surrounding the shelter has also been built, and a steel gate has been installed.
The animal cubs purchased from the farmers' market were delivered yesterday, and Lei Siming immediately got to work as soon as they arrived.
Lei Siming also ordered an additional 20 tons of animal feed and some other equipment.
These things arrived almost simultaneously, keeping Lei Siming extremely busy.
Ye Ning asked Wang Ma to clean out a room in the back apartment for him to live in, and his neighbor was Brother Long Fei, so the two of them could look after each other.
In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Wang were also very interested in the calves and lambs that had been brought over. They said that they had experience raising these animals when they were young in their hometown.
It seems that the two of them will be able to help Lei Siming manage the breeding base from now on.
Gao Feng and Sister Li received the box Ye Ning sent and called Ye Ning back. Ye Ning instructed them to open it on time tomorrow night, and to keep a close watch on all the supplies.
Ye Ning was at ease with their personalities, but since that area was in the city, she was worried that large groups of zombies might roam there in the future.
The four sled dog puppies that Ye Ning had ordered from the pet store had already arrived. These puppies were adorable and very cute, and Ye Ning entrusted them to Long Fei to take care of.
Brother Longfei, always known for his straightforward personality, took over the task without hesitation.
Uncle Yun and the other two were not in the shelter, but were arranged by Xiao Jingchen to go to other places.
After the wedding, Xiao Jingchen finally brought up the origins of Uncle Yun and the others.
It turns out that Xiao Jingchen's father was actually the heir of a large family. He met Xiao Jingchen's mother while studying in the United States. They were classmates, as was Ye Jingtian. She was beautiful, smart, and determined. She had all the good qualities in the world, but she was very poor and could only support her studies by working part-time.
The rest of the story is quite cliché: a wealthy young man meets a Cinderella and they fall hopelessly in love.
Then came the opposition from their families, their elopement, and then Xiao Jingchen.
But this peaceful life was bound to be disrupted eventually, as Xiao Jingchen's uncle did not believe that his brother would really give up his inheritance rights to the family.
He has lived in his brother's shadow since childhood, and even though his brother has left the United States, he is still worried.
So he conspired with Xiao Jingchen's father's former fiancée to kidnap Xiao Jingchen and his mother.
That crazy woman, driven mad by love, forced Xiao Jingchen's father to choose between his beloved wife and his son. Unable to make a choice, Xiao Jingchen's father ultimately committed suicide.
After Xiao Jingchen's father died, the madwoman spared Xiao Jingchen and his mother out of shock. Perhaps she did not intend for Xiao Jingchen's father to die, but was simply unwilling to accept it.
However, Xiao Jingchen's mother could not accept the departure of her lover and committed suicide by jumping off a building in front of Xiao Jingchen.
No matter how much her young son begged, she resolutely left him.
Before she decided to commit suicide, she entrusted Xiao Jingchen to her best friend from university, Ye Jingtian, who was also Ye Ning's father.
What's most chilling is that Xiao Jingchen's father's family knew about and tacitly approved of the entire kidnapping of Xiao Jingchen and his mother, with the aim of forcing Xiao Jingchen's father to personally eliminate the love that was not recognized by the family.
One can imagine the despair that led Xiao Jingchen's father to commit suicide.
Perhaps he had already contacted his family for help, but received a reply that filled him with despair.
When Xiao Jingchen turned sixteen, Ye Jingtian told him the whole truth.
However, what Ye Jingtian didn't know was that the precocious Xiao Jingchen actually remembered everything.
He still remembers his father's last words before he died: "I would rather die than hurt the people I love!"
He still remembers the sorrowful yet resolute look in his mother's eyes when she jumped off the building.
Mom! Don't go!
Jingchen, we're sorry! Mom and Dad will become stars to protect you.
Uncle Yun and his group belonged to the faction within the family that had always been loyal to Xiao Jingchen's father. Even after his father's death, they never gave up searching for him.
When Xiao Jingchen finished telling the whole story, Ye Ning was completely stunned. She hugged Xiao Jingchen tightly and patted his back comfortingly.
She knew Xiao Jingchen's past must be complicated, but she never expected it to be so tragic.
"Jingchen, it's all in the past!" Ye Ning felt a little guilty; she shouldn't have asked about Xiao Jingchen's past.
"It's alright! I never wanted to hide these things from you, but I didn't have the chance to talk about it in my past life, and I never intended to have anything to do with the Xiao family, so I never told you!"
Ye Ning's sanctuary was peaceful and harmonious, filled with joy and happiness.
On the other hand, Li Churan's situation was exactly the opposite.
Since Li Churan resigned from his position as president of Mengran Group, Lin Mengru has stopped pretending and started live streaming from her room again.
Shangguan Rong was so angry he jumped up and down, wanting to teach Lin Mengru a lesson.
But Lin Mengru is now completely incomparable.
“If you dare to touch me, I’ll call the police and sue you for domestic violence,” Lin Mengru retorted without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Rong immediately backed down. Her son's reputation was already damaged, and she couldn't let him be accused of another crime.
Li Churan, on the other hand, stayed dejectedly in the room.
Although he cashed out a portion of his shares in time, he was no longer the glamorous president of Mengran Group.
What disheartened him even more was that he finally admitted he had always loved Ye Ning.
