Chapter 190 The Most Powerful Person in Our Village
Judging from his expression, Mu Qingyu knew that Attorney Zhou probably knew about Mu Xiangbei's illegitimate son, Mu Yan, all along.
Mu Qingyu didn't care. Lawyer Zhou was a good friend of Old Master Mu, but not her own. He was more concerned with the interests of the Mu family than with Mu Qingyu or Mu Qingrong.
"Back then, they followed Huo Siyu, who was doing quite well. It's said that before the apocalypse, Mu Xiaoxiao stockpiled a batch of supplies. After the apocalypse, Huo Siyu awakened a spatial ability," Mu Qingyu said.
"Spatial ability?" Fang Jingnian was clearly very interested in this topic. Originally, after the apocalypse, the three elders and the child had been hiding at home to live. His family had always had the habit of stockpiling food, and with their large family and wealth, the four of them had enough supplies during their three months of hiding.
Because they had no contact with outsiders, they only learned about the existence of people with superpowers in the world in the last few days.
However, few people on the street were willing to talk to them, and even those who did were likely up to no good. Now that Mu Qingyu had mentioned spatial abilities, Fang Jingnian became even more interested.
Fang Jingnian wasn't the only one interested in the topic of superhumans; Fang Rushi also raised his own question: "Are there many superhumans outside now?"
Mu Qingyu had some suspicions that Fang Jingnian was a superhuman, but they probably didn't know the situation outside, or that his superhuman abilities were special, so they kept quiet and didn't want to say it.
“There are many.” Mu Qingyu nodded: “For example, I am now a dual-elemental ability user with strength and speed.”
"A dual-elemental ability user? I know about strength and speed." Fang Rushi looked Mu Qingyu up and down curiously. "Yesterday I saw a soldier who could easily lift a car with both hands. He's a strength-type, right? And there was another soldier who ran incredibly fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye. He's a speed-type. You're a dual-elemental user? You're amazing!"
Mu Qingyu noticed that Fang Rushi's tone and demeanor were similar to Mu Qingrong's; both were children who had been well-protected at home. However, Mu Qingrong was now more mature when facing outsiders.
"That's why I was able to travel this far on my own," Mu Qingyu said with a smile. She had a good attitude towards Fang Rushi. "I'll talk about me later. Let's talk about space-type ability users first. They possess a space that others can't see, as if they exist in another dimension."
“Space-type ability users can freely store and retrieve resources within a space. The size of the space is determined by the ability of the space-type ability user,” Mu Qingyu said.
"What does this space look like?" Fang Rushi continued to ask curiously.
Mu Qingyu smiled: "Then only space-type ability users would know this."
Fang Rushi laughed when she heard this, not feeling embarrassed at all.
"This kid has a pretty good personality," Mu Qingyu thought to herself.
"How are Xiang Nan and the others doing now, following Huo Siyu?" Attorney Zhou brought the topic back.
"I don't know, we separated a month ago. I went back to my own place," Mu Qingyu said frankly, deciding not to tell Attorney Zhou about Mu Xiaoxiao's death.
Regardless of whether Attorney Zhou likes Mu Xiaoxiao or not, Mu Qingyu guessed that Mu Xiaoxiao was someone he had watched grow up.
"Before the apocalypse, I vaguely heard Xiang Bei mention that Xiao Rong had run away from home..." Attorney Zhou was still quite worried about Mu Qingrong.
"It's nothing," Mu Qingyu said. "He ran away from home and has been living with me ever since. Mu Xiangbei brought his mistress and her illegitimate child back to the Mu family's old house. Grandpa is gone, so no one can control him anymore."
"Does Xiao Rong have to live with Xiao San's family? Of course he should move out and live with me, his own cousin."
Hearing that Mu Qingrong and Mu Qingyu were together, Attorney Zhou was very pleased: "I didn't expect that you siblings could have such a good relationship. If you are both doing well, Jinxiu would be very happy if he knew in the afterlife."
"It's strange, Xiao Rong has never liked Xiao Xiao, but he likes you quite a bit. You—" He didn't mention the obvious fact that Mu Qingyu disliked the Mu family.
He paused for a moment before continuing, "I didn't expect you to get along so well with your brother."
“Xiao Rong is just a child, with a pure and innocent heart.” Mu Qingyu smiled. “Mu Xiangbei is also in the village where we live now. It is said that he was originally with Mu Xiangnan and the others. They got separated on the road, and by chance, he ended up in the place where Xiao Rong and I live.”
“He only cares about his illegitimate son, Mu Yan, so naturally I don’t want to pay attention to him. He found a place to live in the village on his own, and Xiao Rong would occasionally secretly help him out.”
Attorney Zhou sighed repeatedly as he listened. The Mu family's messy affairs! Sometimes he just couldn't understand them either.
He watched Mu Xiangnan and Mu Xiangbei grow up. They were extremely cute and adorable children when they were young. How did they turn out like that when they grew up?
It's not that someone who lost their biological daughter and only loves their adopted daughter can't love their adopted daughter. After all, you can develop a deep bond with someone who has raised their child from a young age, even with a dog.
But at the very least, shouldn't they feel remorse for losing their biological daughter and try to make amends? Instead of complaining and finding fault, saying their biological daughter is inferior to their adopted daughter in every way…
One is raised like a pampered princess, while the other lives in an orphanage, where they don't even know if they'll get enough to eat every day... How can the two children be the same?
The child didn't just run away and get lost.
Attorney Zhou simply couldn't understand Mu Xiangnan and Ou Mingxin, the couple.
Then there's Mu Xiangbei, who married a wealthy heiress, Mu Qingrong's mother being a stunning beauty. Yet, he preferred women from modest backgrounds, and even after marriage, he continued to have illicit affairs with other women.
She also had an illegitimate child, who is older than you, Mu Qingrong...
Old Master Mu just passed away, his body is barely cold, and his family dares to bring his mistress and illegitimate child home... How is Mu Qingrong supposed to face this?
Attorney Zhou felt terrible just thinking about it. No wonder Mu Qingyu didn't acknowledge them; she wasn't wrong at all!
“Besides my siblings and me, there are many other people living in the village. I traveled all this way to scout out where there are supplies. I never expected to run into Captain Gao and all of you here.”
Mu Qingyu also briefly explained why she had come here.
"How could I let a girl like you do such a dangerous thing alone?" Fang Rushi frowned and said with some disapproval. He spontaneously imagined a group of people sucking blood from Mu Qingyu.
Mu Qingyu smiled, understanding the meaning behind Fang Rushi's words. So she replied with the same words she had once used to answer Gao Yingwei: "Because I am the most capable person in our whole village!"
