"Ha, give up on that idea. Let's go, and leave this place to this woman."
Xiao's father pulled Xiao Xiang along, followed by Bai Lu, and the three of them hurriedly walked out.
Bai Lu returned a minute later, looked at Bai Xi slumped on the ground, looking utterly listless, smiled, and gently lifted her chin.
“My dear sister, although I have fallen in love with your man, I am guilty, but I will not let you down. Although your face has aged, you still have your charm. There are many people who like you.”
Bai Lu's unrestrained laughter made Bai Xi feel uncomfortable all over. She looked up in astonishment, "What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says. Sister is so smart, do I need to explain it to you in detail?"
Then, she clapped her hands, and three men appeared by the bed in the bedroom, staring at Bai Xi with lewd smiles on their faces, their expressions filled with possessiveness and desire.
"Bai Lu, how dare you!"
"Why wouldn't I dare? He can only be mine. He still has feelings for you. To put an end to this thought, I can only ask you to make do, sister. Look at the men I've chosen for you. They're all very strong and healthy. It's not really a compromise."
After saying that, Bai Lu watched as the men carried Bai Xi to the bed, tore off her outer clothes, and swarmed around her.
She then left with a smile.
Little did they know that these people had already been bought off by Xiao's mother, Bai Xi. Their behavior and exaggerated expressions were nothing more than an act, a performance for them to see.
As for the aphrodisiac poison in the room, Zhang Yang had a way to provide the antidote long ago. So, as soon as Bai Lu left, the three men quickly got off the bed and knelt on the ground.
"Please forgive our great disrespect, Madam. The three of us deserve to die."
These three were actually shadow guards disguised as masked men.
The Bai family lineage had accumulated considerable power thanks to the great achievements of the Bai family. What Xiao's father had taken over was only the tip of the iceberg. He was already satisfied with this.
Bai Xi sat up, straightened her clothes, and with a slight smile playing on her lips, sat upright on the bed, holding a flame in her palm. With a loud bang, she set the room ablaze.
She then led the three men into a pre-dug underground hole.
A single spark ignited the entire Xiao mansion, and in just one night, only an empty shell remained. Apart from Jiang Ruan's place, the rest of the mansion was reduced to ruins.
...
"What exactly happened? How did a fire break out out of nowhere? Now the house has to be built whether we want to or not. Let's see what the boss decides."
Zhang Yang led Duan Yu and the others to put out the fire. They finally managed to extinguish it, but were nearly hit by a falling roof beam, and complained.
“The rooms will naturally need to be built, but not in the traditional way of building them brick by brick; instead, we will use a different method.”
Jiang Ruan had just saved Liu Yu and his wife, and by chance, Zai Zai saved Liu Bai Bai. In addition, Zai Zai gave her the black jade ring, and her space was upgraded in an instant.
Now she can shrink the distance to an inch, teleport instantly, etc. Although the distance is not too far and the number of houses that can be moved is not too many, there is one thing she knows: her home and the shopping mall can be moved over.
"Boss, what... do you mean?" Zhang Yang didn't understand Jiang Ruan's meaning. How could a house be built without bricks and tiles? He didn't understand.
Jiang Ruan smiled and didn't say anything. She just did a little experiment, turned on her phone, connected to the SkyNet network, and made a video call within the mall.
SkyNet is a communication tool that the country has just developed. When Gu Anlin entered space, he gave her his communication equipment, so Jiang Ruan can freely contact any place that has a network.
“I don’t know how Ruan’er is doing, and I don’t know if my eldest grandson is better or not. Really, what’s the use of us staying here? If we stay any longer, I’ll become depressed. I have to go out and find my daughter.”
The speaker was Jiang's mother. She hadn't seen the two of them for several days since Jiang Ruan took Zai Zai away last time, and she missed them terribly.
Who knew that they hadn't even made a phone call in so long? She had no idea what had happened, how many people had died in the apocalypse, or whether her child was still safe.
After enduring it for so long, I couldn't take it anymore and decided to go out.
"Grandma!" Jiang's mother, who was in a hurry to go out, was stunned. Jiang's father, who was sitting to the side reading a book, was also stunned. Wan Mei, who was carrying water and preparing lunch, had red eyes and was the quickest to open the door.
Thinking it was a hallucination since they saw nothing, they were feeling down when a child's innocent voice rang out again. The television in the center of the living room turned on, and the child's face appeared magnified in front of them.
"Ah... my little one, you... Grandma has missed you so much!"
Jiang's mother jumped in front of the TV, wanting to hug her son, but she tripped and almost fell.
"Grandma, what's wrong? Your little one misses you!" With those words, Jiang's mother burst into tears. She missed her little one too. Not only her, but the other two were also looking forward to seeing their little one soon.
"Alright, Baiyuan, we'll talk to Grandma later!" Seeing the situation was a bit chaotic, with adults crying and children crying, Jiang Ruan helplessly picked up the baby.
"Dad, Mom, Wanmei, how have you three been lately? Would you like to come visit us?" Jiang Ruan smiled; she had missed them a little after not seeing them for many days.
So her voice was a little choked up.
"We miss you, our daughters! Where are you? Your father and mother are coming to find you!"
"Me too, I'm going too, I'm not staying here anymore, I want to be with you all."
Three people, three mouths, but they all spoke in unison.
"Alright, get ready, I'll bring you over right away."
As soon as Jiang Ruan finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the charred ruins outside began to fade and slowly disappeared, while other phantoms slowly appeared, which were clearly the shopping mall that Jiang Ruan had mentioned.
After everything was done, Jiang Ruan looked up and saw that the ruins had been completely transformed into a shopping mall, although to outsiders it still looked like the Xiao family's old mansion.
Only those who are in the thick of it know that it's not true at all.
As soon as the doorbell rang, the three who had been stunned for a moment quickly got up and ran out. Sure enough, they saw Jiang Ruan holding the baby, with Zhang Yang, Jiang Yan and some unfamiliar faces by her side.
"Ruan Ruan? It really is you, and Zai Zai, you, us..." Jiang's mother was shocked by what she saw, but nothing was more real than the bond between blood relatives. She rushed forward and hugged the child, feeling the real warmth from her arms, before she felt relieved.
Jiang's father, who was usually calm and composed, could not hold back his tears and they welled up in his eyes, even more so than Jiang's mother.
"Um... Mom and Dad, it's okay. We'll be together from now on. Don't be like this, there are other people here."
Jiang Ruan patted the two on the back to comfort them, saying that after this upgrade, she could take the house with her at will.
There's no need to worry about separation...
