60: Why is it so noisy?!

Bai Jixuan came back to his senses, his face terribly cold.

He looked at Fang Yuan coldly and said, word by word, "Wife?"

"I will only marry someone who is good to my children as my wife.

Did you forget what you promised last time when I caught you hitting my son?

If Fang Qing doesn't keep her promise, you'll take her back?

Since you're true to your word, then now, take her and get out!"

Fang Yuan was stunned.

He opened his mouth, but not a single word came out.

Of course, he remembered, but back then, it was just to fool Bai Jixuan; he never really intended to fulfill it!

"How can you abandon your wife like this?

I'm going to teach your whole family a lesson!" Fang Yuan roared, suddenly pouncing on Bai Wanning.

"Wanning!" Bai Jixuan cried out anxiously, but because he was still holding Bai Zhan, he couldn't move at all.

However, Bai Wanning didn't need his protection at all.

She stared at Fang Yuan coldly, and as he rushed forward, her dagger flashed with a cold light, viciously slashing across Fang Yuan's wrist.

"Ah ah ah—!"

Fang Yuan screamed and fell to the ground, clutching his profusely bleeding wrist, rolling and crawling in pain.

The refugees, who had originally been eager to try something, were all terrified and exchanged glances.

They looked at Fang Yuan on the ground, then up at Bai Wanning, who held a dagger and watched with cold eyes.

One by one, they were as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to move again.

Seeing her son cut, Mother Fang could no longer care about fear and pounced on Bai Wanning like a madwoman, screaming, "Bitch! I'm going to kill you! How dare you hurt my son! I'll fight you to the death!"

Bai Wanning glanced at her coldly, too lazy to waste words, and kicked her directly into the deepest part of the accumulated water in the stairwell.

"Ah—help!

Help!

I can't swim!" Mother Fang's screams echoed in the empty stairwell.

Meanwhile, Father Fang, who was striding towards Fang Yuan, froze when he heard the scream.

He hesitated between his son and his wife, foolishly turning his head to look around, unsure who to save first.

Bai Wanning calmly wiped the blood from her face and looked down at Fang Qing, who was curled up in the corner, not even caring about the wound on her chest.

"Next time you dare to cause trouble, I'll send your whole family to the underworld to kowtow to your ancestors.

Understood?"

Fang Qing no longer dared to offend Bai Wanning.

How could she dare to offend her?

She had witnessed Bai Wanning's series of actions firsthand and knew that this woman's threat to kill her was absolutely not an empty one.

However, Fang Qing wouldn't just swallow this insult.

She thought to herself that when the water receded, she would go to the police station to complain and make this bitch cough up two hundred million... no, five hundred million!

She thought that anyone who could afford to buy this penthouse apartment would surely be willing to spend money to compensate their family.

Unfortunately, Bai Wanning saw through Fang Qing's little scheme at a glance.

Heh, does she really think that in this apocalypse, she can still go to the police station to cause a ruckus?

What a fool's dream.

If possible, Bai Wanning wished she could kill Fang Qing's family immediately.

But then she remembered how these people had indulged in food, drink, and entertainment while her several young nephews suffered hunger and hardship.

She still suppressed the surging killing intent.

Not yet.

She wasn't planning to act for now.

The tide had stopped—all accounts would be settled one by one.

Bai Wanning's lips curved slightly, and she turned to walk towards the stairs.

This time, no one dared to stop her.

Even if they had the guts of a leopard, they wouldn't dare approach a madwoman who brandished a dagger at the slightest provocation!

Bai Wanning climbed the stairs safely.

Bai Jixuan glanced at Fang Qing, who was whimpering pitifully, but he didn't look again and turned to follow his sister upstairs.

Thinking of the suffering his sons had endured at the hands of that family, his last shred of sympathy vanished.

Lei Yan and Lu Yu had no relation to Fang Qing, so they naturally followed Bai Wanning without saying an extra word.

Only Lu Yin's eyes were full of sympathy for Fang Qing, and she didn't forget to tsk-tsk and glance at Bai Jixuan and Bai Wanning.

These people were truly heartless!

No, she had to tell Mother Lei about this quickly, otherwise, if the Lei Family accidentally got too close to Wanning in the future, they would surely get into big trouble.

When they reached their floor, Lei Yan turned her head and looked at the displeased Wanning, sensing her bad mood, and carefully offered her a few milk candies she had brought.

"Sister, when you feel sad, eat something sweet and don't bother with people like that," Lei Yan advised softly, "I can see that they are greedy and profit-driven.

Don't let their words hurt your heart."

Bai Wanning took the candies, a strange emotion stirring within her.

When was the last time someone comforted her like this?

In her previous life, when she was pregnant, whenever she was in a bad mood, others always blamed her for carrying a burden; no one ever truly comforted her.

Had anyone ever comforted her?

Yes, but that fool had died early.

Bai Wanning pulled herself from her thoughts, looked at Lei Yan, and nodded stiffly, "Thank you."

"It should be us thanking you," Lei Yan smiled sweetly, "You brought us back safely.

If it weren't for you, we would probably have died long ago, and our bodies would have been defiled and thrown into the water to feed the fish."

As she spoke, she gave Lu Yin a meaningful look.

Although Wanning didn't say anything, how could Lei Yan not understand?

This foolish girl had gone to help others with good intentions, but instead caused trouble, leading to Brother Zhan being seriously injured.

If Wanning hadn't risked her life to save him, Lu Yin would have long been disgraced, or even her bones would be gone!

Lu Yin's face flushed and then paled.

Although Lei Yan didn't name names, she knew better than anyone that Lei Yan was talking about her.

Lei Yan silently cursed Lu Yin a few times, and only then did her mood improve slightly.

She turned to Bai Wanning and said seriously, "Don't worry, although we can't help Brother Zhan much, nor can we provide medical care, we will do our best to make amends for this incident."

Lei Yan had been taught from a young age to be responsible, and in such a situation, she would never pretend not to know.

With anyone else, Bai Wanning probably wouldn't even bother to respond, but upon hearing Lei Yan's words, she merely gave a soft hum and then walked towards the top floor.

After the Bai Family left, Lei Yan took Lu Yu and Lu Yin back home, and Lu Yin, who had been silent the whole way, finally couldn't hold back and exploded.

"Why should we compensate them?" she demanded.

She knew her brother was a responsible person, and now that Lei Yan said they should compensate Bai Wanning and her brother, she believed her brother would rather risk his life to repay them.

"Why shouldn't we compensate them?" Lei Yan threw the things in her hand heavily onto the sofa and roared, pointing at Lu Yin, "Do you know how embarrassed I am?

Sister Bai took us out of the building and even helped us get the supplies we needed!

Look outside, even if you offer money now, who would risk their life to do something like that?"

"And you?

You did something so stupid!

Taking advantage of no one being around, you stole Brother Zhan's boat to save someone who didn't need saving at all!

As a result, Brother Zhan had his ribs broken because of you!

You haven't even said 'thank you' or 'I'm sorry' yet!

I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm truly ashamed of you!"

"What's going on?

Why are you two arguing so much?"
