95: Violent White War

Their family lived on the top floor, and Bai Wanning had long since installed a metal door at the entrance to the corridor, separating their living corridor from the other two.

In the early days of the Apocalypse, that door was originally unlocked, but as soon as anyone dared to cause trouble, Bai Wanning would not hesitate to weld the door shut, never allowing anyone to approach the house without permission.

Bai Zhan stopped at the door, skillfully opened the intercom, and looked at the man and woman standing on the other side of the metal door.

“Who are you?” he asked, frowning, feeling that these two people looked a little familiar, but he couldn't recall who they were for a moment.

Bai Xue heard the man’s voice from the intercom, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

When Bai Wanning went out to save Bai Minghe earlier, she had seen everything clearly through the crack in the door.

She had originally thought that the woman she had always looked down upon would now be living a miserable life, but she never expected her to be living on this top floor!

These past few days, she had been imagining Bai Wanning's tragic life, feeling relieved and satisfied.

Unfortunately, reality slapped her hard in the face.

Not only was Bai Wanning perfectly fine, but she was also living a more comfortable life than her.

She had thought Bai Wanning would sell the house she had taken from her father, but now, hearing a man’s voice inside, Bai Xue couldn't help but sneer.

Wasn't she high and mighty, arrogant, and even made her go to jail for sending her to a man's bed? What was the result? Wasn't she also relying on a man to live now?

“Hello, I’m Bai Xue, and this is Brother Su. Is Sister Wanning home? We have something we’d like to discuss with her,” Bai Xue said sweetly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Zhan's expression changed.

He, of course, knew who these two people were: Bai Xue and Su Hu.

Although Bai Zhan lived in the village, he occasionally heard some news about Bai Wanning.

He knew that these two were Bai Wanning's half-sister and her fiancé.

He had told his brother and Mother Bai before that these two were not good people, but Wanning trusted them so much that they couldn't say much.

He had never understood what kind of spell Su Hu had cast on his sister, making her so obedient as if she had lost her soul, not even allowing them to say a word of objection.

Whatever Su Hu said, Bai Wanning believed.

Sometimes, Bai Zhan would look at her being so blind, so angry that he wished he could pry open her head to see if it was stuffed with a bunch of mushy rice.

Fortunately, she had finally woken up now.

After all, how could this man be any good? He was engaged to Bai Wanning, yet he spent most of his time with Bai Xue.

Bai Zhan had long felt that this man had ulterior motives, but he never expected him to dare to send his sister to another man's bed.

If he liked Bai Xue, that would be one thing, but he even had to step on Bai Wanning's dignity to rise to power?

“You bastard!” Bai Zhan roared, his voice echoing in the stairwell, almost cracking the ceiling.

Bai Wanning heard the commotion, frowned, and walked out of the house.

She didn't forget to bring the bowl of noodles she was holding; no matter what trouble awaited her, eating was the top priority.

Mother Bai and Bai Jixuan also rushed out in a hurry.

As soon as the three of them ran outside, they saw Bai Zhan straddling a man's chest, his fists raining down like a storm.

“Second Brother!” Mother Bai was scared out of her wits.

Although she was mentally prepared, when she saw her son hitting someone with such vigor, she still couldn't help but exclaim.

She was about to go forward to stop him when Bai Wanning pulled her back.

“Mom, that man is no good. Let Second Brother teach him how to be a person,” Bai Wanning said coldly, looking at Su Hu, who was being brutally beaten by Bai Zhan, a hint of sarcasm curving her lips.

Hadn't Su Hu used to rely on her having no one to support her to dare to hit her? Then let him taste her brother's fists first.

Mother Bai was confused, blinking her eyes.

Bai Wanning smiled, and said faintly, “It’s Bai Xue and Su Hu.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Bai, who had been looking nervous, suddenly changed her expression.

She abruptly looked at the man and woman, her eyes instantly as if she had seen an enemy. If she hadn't remembered that she was an elder, she probably would have rushed up and taken matters into her own hands.

Bai Xue was startled and looked up at Bai Wanning, who was quietly eating noodles over there.

Besides fear and hunger, her heart was also filled with resentment.

She and her mother had gone to great lengths to break up Yan Meiyu and Bai Wanning, but this woman had shamelessly returned to her mother's side.

“Aunt Yan,” Bai Xue forced a smile and greeted sweetly.

However, Yan Meiyu was not the kind of person who would fall for her tricks, especially since Bai Xue's mother... was a homewrecker back then!

She sneered, “Don't call me Aunt. It disgusts me. Your mother used to call me sister, but what happened? She turned around and climbed into my husband's bed. I have no relation with your family. I'm not that shameless.”

Bai Wanning almost laughed out loud. If she hadn't been holding a bowl, she would have applauded her mother.

Look, Bai Xue's smile was completely gone.

“Auntie, I know you hate me and my mother, but we also had our difficulties,” Bai Xue said with red eyes, looking wronged and pitiful, trying to clear her name.

Bai Wanning snorted coldly, too lazy to listen to her act.

She pointed at Su Hu, who was almost beaten into a pig's head on the ground, and said to Bai Xue, “Go and see your Brother Hu. He’s about to be beaten to death.”

Bai Xue was startled and quickly rushed over to drag Su Hu up from the ground.

Bai Zhan didn't stop her this time. He knew that such a grudge couldn't be resolved with just one beating.

He stood aside, coldly watching Su Hu clutching his face and wailing, his voice full of sarcasm, “You really dared to come.”

These two scoundrels had ruined his sister's life.

If the Apocalypse hadn't come, his sister would probably still be pointed at by the world, suffering countless humiliations.

Now that the Apocalypse had arrived and order had collapsed, who still cared about those old affairs? But he remembered, he remembered everything clearly!

Bai Xue, of course, also regretted it. If she had known the Apocalypse was coming, she would never have provoked Bai Wanning. Those tactics, those schemes, looking back now, had all become a joke.

She felt remorse, but still maintained a smile, trying to regain some favor in the eyes of the Bai family brothers.

Since childhood, she had loved snatching things from Bai Wanning, but now these two men were both protecting Bai Wanning and were against her, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

She tried her best to explain in the most innocent voice, “Brother Zhan, Brother Jixuan, have you misunderstood us? We... we really never did anything to displease Sister Wanning.”

Bai Wanning rolled her eyes, really not wanting to admit that Bai Xue's acting skills were indeed first-rate. But this time...

“Pfft!” Bai Zhan spat on the ground, his eyes like knives staring at Bai Xue, and sneered, “You never did? Are you also going to tell us that my sister asked you to harm her? That she begged you to seduce her fiancé, so you had no choice but to reluctantly comply? How dare you say such things? Did you leave all your shame in your shameless mother's womb?”

Bai Xue forced herself not to cry, her voice trembling, “Brother Zhan, do you have to be so cruel?”
