Chapter 292: Everyone Flees When Disaster Strikes
She ignored An Xingye's question and simply patted her butt and stood up: "I don't know if there will be aftershocks. We have to leave here quickly."
Having said that, he turned around and wanted to walk out.
An Xingye frowned and said, "Why are you walking so fast? Can't you see I'm injured? Can't you help me?"
Liu Xiulian turned her head and looked at him expressionlessly.
Then he said coldly: "Is this your attitude when you ask for help?"
An Xingye looked at Liu Xiulian who was looking down at him, and suddenly felt a little strange.
They had known each other since childhood and had spent most of their lives together. She had always spoken in a gentle and soft voice. When had she ever spoken to him like this?
An Xingye was somewhat puzzled: "What's the point of asking for it? We are husband and wife..."
Liu Xiulian, however, was acting out of character. Her gentle demeanor was completely gone, and she was only visibly impatient:
"Husband and wife? Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes."
An Xingye was extremely shocked.
Is this still the gentle, considerate, virtuous and sensible girl he is?
Is it possessed by some dirty thing? !
The docile little white rabbit that was kept in captivity suddenly bit back, and An Xingye felt extremely aggrieved.
But out of fear of earthquakes and death, he still gave in: "Xiulian, stop joking. Help me, I can't stand up by myself."
This was the first time in his life that he bowed his head in front of Liu Xiulian.
Somehow, he suddenly recalled the days when he was with Qi Shulan.
Why couldn't he avoid bowing his head to these women and children?
Liu Xiulian ignored his request.
In the past you were bossing me around because you had money and supplies, but now that you’re broke you still want to boss me around?
She snorted coldly and wanted to leave him alone.
But after rolling his eyes, he went over and helped the man up: "Hurry up, the house will collapse soon!"
An Xingye's skin and flesh were rotten, his knees were broken, and it was very difficult for him to walk. He was panting in pain, leaning on Liu Xiulian, trying to keep up with her pace.
As they walked, he asked again, "Xiulian, where are Mom and Xiaobei?"
Liu Xiulian said perfunctorily: "Mom hasn't come back yet. Xiaobei went to look for her."
"You haven't come back yet?"
An Xingye was a little worried: "Why hasn't he come back yet? Could he have been injured in the earthquake?"
Liu Xiulian snorted coldly: "How long has the earthquake lasted? The old lady has been out for half a day."
Then he raised his lips secretly: "Maybe he was caught by Annan."
After hearing this, An Xingye became even more anxious: "Annan has hurt me so badly, but he actually dared to attack the old lady?"
Then he instructed, "Xiaobei is not as reliable as you are. When we get outside, find a place to drop me off and go out to look for me. If you can't find me, come back to pick me up and we'll go to Annan to seek justice together."
Liu Xiulian didn't say anything.
She was not a fool. Why would she go to Annan and get shot just for that old lady who looked down on her?
Seeing that she remained silent, An Xingye knew that she was unwilling, and could not help but lecture her:
"Mom's attitude towards you is indeed a bit excessive, but she is my mother after all. It was not easy for my mother to raise me, you have to..."
Liu Xiulian interrupted him: "Does your wound hurt?"
An Xingye didn't react: "Ah?"
Liu Xiulian: "I see you talk a lot, I guess the pain is gone."
As he said that, he wanted to let go.
"Hey!" An Xingye quickly grabbed her arm, "Why are you so angry today?"
Liu Xiulian snorted coldly and said nothing.
She has always had a bad temper, but she has been humble for so many years just because it was profitable.
Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes and sighed, "I'm not bad-tempered, I'm just a little anxious."
An Xingye endured the pain in his body and asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Xiulian helped him walk out and said:
"The food we have now is only enough for a few months. Your legs are in this state now. What should we do next?"
An Xingye said in a deep voice: "My leg is broken, but you and Xiaobei are fine."
Liu Xiulian was amused by this: "Do you want Xiaobei and I to go out and find supplies to support you?"
An Xingye said as if it was a matter of course: "What else? Can we let Mom go? Her legs and feet are not in good condition, and she is old. We are a family, and in difficult times you have to..."
Liu Xiulian interrupted him impatiently and went straight to the point: "Don't you have any other food?"
An Xingye shook his head: "I don't have those little thoughts like you women. I'm a grown man, can I secretly save private food like my mother?"
Liu Xiulian frowned: "I didn't say you saved private money, what I meant was, don't we have other assets elsewhere?"
An Xingye: "What assets do we have? All our savings, stocks, and funds have long since become useless data. Even the supplies in the villa were lost during the heavy rain..."
Having said this, he suddenly realized what Liu Xiulian meant.
He was immediately incredulous and furious: "Liu Xiulian, what do you mean? Do you want to see if I am penniless and ready to run away, right?"
Based on what he said before, Liu Xiulian judged that this man was indeed at the end of his rope.
So without wasting any more time, he threw him to the ground and left alone.
An Xingye was already injured and was thrown to the ground suddenly, and he immediately cried out in pain.
Seeing that Liu Xiulian had already walked to the door, he immediately shouted anxiously:
"Yes! I still have supplies!"
Hearing this, Liu Xiulian stopped and looked back at him: "Where is it?"
An Xingye stared at her: "Want to know? Then you have to take me out first."
Liu Xiulian stared at him for a few seconds: "You speak first, then I will take you away."
An Xingye bit his lip and said nothing.
Liu Xiulian did not continue to stalemate with him.
She knew this man too well, he had no other supplies, so she left first without mercy.
An Xingye looked at her resolute back and shouted in a chilling voice, "We are husband and wife! Are you just going to abandon me like this?!"
Liu Xiulian opened the door, walked out of the villa, and looked back contemptuously:
"Aren't you and Qi Shulan also husband and wife?"
An Xingye's expression suddenly turned grim and he was speechless.
"An Xingye, you abandoned me once. Now it's your turn to get a taste of what I felt then."
After saying that, he let out a long sigh, closed the door and left.
An Xingye looked at the door closing in front of him, feeling anxious and angry:
"Liu Xiulian, your daughter will never forgive you for treating me like this!"
Then, as if he had thought of something, he muttered to himself:
"Yes! I have a daughter!"
"Who said I have no supplies? Annan has plenty!"
"As long as I apologize..."
He chattered incessantly while using his hands and feet to crawl out.
