Chapter 39 Enemy from the previous life
Shi Jiaojiao stared at the person in front of her, a sneer on her lips.
It turned out to be Xu Kewei.
Long time no see.
Xu Kewei's eyes widened in shock. He pointed at the person in the door in disbelief, and said in a sharp voice, "Shi Jiaojiao, why are you here?"
Hearing two completely different voices, Shi Jiaojiao was stunned, and she asked why she didn't recognize it at first glance.
It turned out that Xu Kewei had been speaking in a hoarse voice.
Of course there is no need to hide anything in front of her now.
"Why can't I be here?" Shi Jiaojiao replied with a smile.
Hearing this answer, Xu Kewei's inner jealousy surged out uncontrollably.
Why is Shi Jiaojiao so lucky?
She had been loved by her parents since she was a child. Finally, her parents died and she became an orphan. Before she could have a chance to be happy, she heard that she had a brother who never left her side.
By the way, wasn’t that man just now…
Thinking of this, Xu Kewei took a few steps back as if he had been hit.
At this time, Mu Ci also came over.
When Xu Kewei saw Mu Ci appear, she barely suppressed her emotions and swallowed the words that were about to come out.
This man is so good that even though she knows the chances are slim, she doesn't want to leave any bad impression.
However, Mu Ci could clearly see the jealousy in her eyes when she left.
After closing the door, the two went home together.
Mu Ci pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Do you know him?"
Shi Jiaojiao seemed to still be immersed in memories, murmuring in a low voice, "More than just knowing each other?"
Mu Ci heard the strangeness in Shi Jiaojiao's tone and couldn't help but frown.
However, Shi Jiaojiao had already returned to the bedroom and was obviously unwilling to say more.
Mu Ci sat on the sofa, his eyes slightly gloomy.
He didn't intend to ask further questions.
But it doesn’t matter. Jiaojiao is too soft-hearted to do it, so he doesn’t mind cutting the root of the problem.
Shi Jiaojiao was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling above her head, and memories of her past life unconsciously emerged in her mind.
At that time, she was homeless and alone in City A. She could only live in a government-arranged shelter and survive on weekly relief food.
Xu Kewei was the first acquaintance she met in the shelter.
I was so naive at that time that I had no idea that Xu Kewei had already harbored a grudge against me.
After they met, he happily asked Xu Kewei to live with him.
At that time, she naively thought that the two had been classmates for many years and were both from the same hometown in S City.
In such a difficult time, we finally met each other, and we should support each other and move forward.
Xu Kewei was very thin at the time and her relief food was often snatched away by others. Whenever that happened, he would share his rations with her.
But Shi Jiaojiao never expected that her kindness would be rewarded with Xu Kewei's betrayal.
That time, Xu Kewei secretly opened the door while she was sleeping, let two men in, and sold herself for the price of two packets of instant noodles.
If I hadn't been alert and always had a kitchen knife in my hand, I would have been in trouble that time.
From then on, Shi Jiaojiao no longer dared to trust anyone.
I didn't expect that I would meet her again in this life.
Thinking of this, Shi Jiaojiao couldn't help but smile.
It’s not too late to take revenge now if you didn’t have time to do so in your previous life.
Just when she was in a good mood, a loud roar suddenly came from outside.
It was still daytime, so Shi Jiaojiao had to open the curtains slightly and look outside.
However, due to the distance, she could only see thick smoke rising in the distance.
Shi Jiaojiao took out a telescope and continued to observe, and this time she finally saw it clearly.
It turned out that an air conditioner outdoor unit in a building in the corner of the community exploded.
In recent times, due to the continued high temperatures, explosions of air conditioner outdoor units have become common.
Once there is a spark, the fire will spread rapidly and there will be no time to extinguish it.
The fire department cannot respond during the day, and even if they do, there is no water source.
Everyone could only save themselves. Residents living on the lower floors were lucky enough to pack up their valuables and run downstairs as soon as they discovered the fire.
However, residents living on higher floors were not so lucky. They were blocked by the flames and could only flee to the upper floors.
But even if I reach the roof, what can I do?
It's just the difference between dying early or late.
Shi Jiaojiao pulled the curtains and stopped looking at the miserable scene outside.
Unable to fall asleep at this moment, she simply took out her tablet and started watching a variety show.
At the same time, he took out a plate of fruit and ate while watching.
In the evening, new news came from the owners’ group.
It turned out that in order to facilitate management, the neighborhood committee decided to elect a building manager for each building.
The manager of their building has already been selected, his name is Liu Wenqi.
Shi Jiaojiao was not interested in this. She just took a quick glance at the message and turned off the phone.
She didn't know that Xu Kewei, who had been upset at her place during the day, couldn't get over it and was looking for Liu Wenqi to inquire about her.
"What? His house has so many supplies?" Xu Kewei screamed in astonishment, with a somewhat ferocious expression.
When she visited her during the day, she realized that Shi Jiaojiao was not living a bad life.
But she didn't expect that Shi Jiaojiao was living a better life than herself!
Xu Kewei became more and more unwilling the more he thought about it.
Why?
Why is it that whenever she appears, I am always outdone?
Looking at Xu Kewei's expression, Liu Wenqi seemed to understand something.
So, he said helplessly, "Yeah, last time I brought a group of neighbors to his house to buy some supplies, but..."
Liu Wenqi hesitated to speak and shook his head after he finished speaking.
"Hmph, she's such a selfish person, would she sell things to you?" Xu Kewei sneered and said disdainfully.
"Alas, it's also our fault that we are incompetent and can't find gasoline. We can't go out and search for supplies like them."
Liu Wenqi had a worried look on his face and showed a bitter smile. When he wanted to say something else, he was interrupted impatiently by Xu Kewei.
"Okay, I know everything. It's too late now. They can't do anything about it. Next time they go out to look for supplies, remember to notify me in advance."
Xu Kewei ordered Liu Wenqi in a haughty manner.
Liu Wenqi nodded repeatedly, looking like he was obeying orders.
Seeing this, Xu Kewei smiled with satisfaction, then when her eyes fell on the dirty and smelly short-sleeved shirt on him, she covered her mouth and nose in disgust and walked away in her high heels.
However, she did not notice that after she left, the humility and obedience on the man's face were no longer there.
Liu Wenqi raised his head, pushed his glasses on his nose, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
