Chapter 8 Typhoon

As soon as the words came out, everyone's face changed drastically. Jiang Lichun was the first to react, with an angry look on her face, "Mi Mi, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! Spreading rumors is illegal!"

Jiang's mother ignored her, turned to look at Jiang Mi, frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Jinglan's face twisted for a moment. She had obviously hidden it very well, and this stupid sister had never suspected anything. Why did she suddenly bring it up?

Did she really find out something?

"Mi Mi, I know you're angry that I won't help you, but you can't just say whatever you want. Give me some evidence. You slander me like this, I..." Zhang Jinglan clutched the hem of her skirt tightly to hide her uneasiness, but pretended to be angry. With her weak attitude, she looked like a victim who had been slandered.

But before she could finish her words, Jiang Mi took out a stack of photos from her backpack and threw them on the table. More than a dozen photos were scattered everywhere, and each of them showed Zhang Jinglan and Xue Wenxuan in an intimate pose.

"Slander? I have more explosive private photos. Auntie, do you want to appreciate how wild and unrestrained your daughter is beneath her gentle and well-behaved appearance?" Jiang Mi had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.

With the evidence in front of her, Jiang Lichun's face turned ugly. Facing the sharp glare from Jiang's mother, she forced a smile and said, "There must be a misunderstanding. Someone must be jealous of my Jinglan, so they took such a photo. Don't be anxious, sister-in-law. Don't you know Jinglan? How could she do such a thing with her personality, right?"

Things suddenly developed to this point, and Jiang's mother was a little dizzy. After looking at two photos on the table, she was so angry that she pointed at Zhang Jinglan and couldn't speak. Jiang Mi was also afraid that her mother would be angry and hurt herself, so she hurried forward to hug her and comfort her. She turned her head and said coldly to Jiang Lichun: "Since aunt said that someone framed her, please ask aunt to investigate. My mother is in poor health and needs to rest. You should not come over for a short period of time."

Things had come to this point. No matter how thick-skinned Jiang Lichun was, they were in the wrong, so she naturally couldn't stay any longer. She immediately turned around and grabbed the panicked Zhang Jinglan, "Why don't you leave now! Go back and think about who you offended to be framed like this!"

Jiang Mi was too lazy to watch them pretending to be ignorant, so he helped Jiang's mother back to the bedroom and helped her lie down.

"No wonder you suddenly cancelled the engagement even though you were clearly madly in love with him and wanted to marry him. So that's why." Mother Jiang's lips were trembling with anger. After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Mi, and her heart ached when she saw that her daughter had clear eyes and a calm expression, and she didn't look sad at all.

Jiang Mi smiled helplessly, peeling the orange while comforting her softly. After talking for a long time, her mother finally calmed down a lot. When she fell asleep and just walked out of the bedroom, she saw that the light in the study was still on, so she went straight over.

Jiang Xun was counting the resources he had recently purchased and considering whether to hire a bodyguard when Jiang Mi knocked on the door.

"Let's forget about being a bodyguard for now." Jiang Mi shook her head after hearing his idea.

When the end of the world comes, those who have plenty of resources but no corresponding military force will become the granary of others. Who can guarantee that those bodyguards will be loyal and stand with the Jiang family?

No matter how careful you are, you can never prevent a thief from within your own home. Surviving the doomsday is already difficult, so why bother yourself with trouble?

Moreover, the mutations caused by radiation will occur after half a year. By then, some people will begin to be affected by the radiation and gain extraordinary abilities, and their combat power will increase greatly. Once the fact that they have a large amount of supplies at home is revealed, it will be a disaster.

After discussing the next steps, Jiang Mi thought for a while and said, "The Moon Bay Apartment should be completely completed tomorrow, so we can take Mom over first."

Jiang Xun had no objection. Ever since his sister was reborn, he found that she had changed a lot. Not only was she thoughtful, but she was also able to be ruthless when she needed to be. She was now a person who could truly be in charge and stand on her own.

She slept soundly, and the next day when she received news from Moon Bay that the project was completed, she found an excuse to take her biological mother over. Seeing the strange decoration of the house, Jiang's mother began to nag about redecorating it for her. Jiang Mi smiled and made up an excuse to get rid of it.

Everything went smoothly until the last night before the end of the world, when the family gathered at Moon Bay Apartment.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Mi, her father and her brother Jiang Xun sat together in the dark living room. No one turned on the lights and the air was filled with tension.

"How long will it take?" Father Jiang fidgeted on the sofa, glancing at the wall clock from time to time.

In the darkness, Jiang Mi's eyes were exceptionally bright. He stared straight at the peaceful night outside the living room window and said in a hoarse voice, "Ten minutes."

On the evening of July 19, 2046, at 2:10, a huge typhoon swept the coast and lasted for three days, causing seawater to flood back and drown countless people.

The pointer moved forward minute by minute, and there was no more words between the three of them, as if they were three statues sitting on the sofa.

Tick.

At 2:10, Father Jiang stood up and walked to the window to look at the coast. In the thick darkness, there seemed to be no movement at all.

Father Jiang felt relieved and turned to look at Jiang Mi and Jiang Xun, "Isn't everything alright?"

He suspected that the two of them were colluding to defraud others, but he felt that it was unlikely.

As he was speaking, Jiang Xun, who had been motionless, suddenly sat up straight, his usually calm expression suddenly changed, and he walked a few steps to the window.

A fine drizzle began to fall, and large water ripples began to appear on the transparent windows. In the blink of an eye, the drizzle turned into heavy rain, and began to hit the windows with a crackling sound, as loud as hail.

Jiang Mi clenched his fists unconsciously, his heart pounding.

Even though she had experienced it once, she was still terrified to experience this devastating scene again.

The sound of heavy rain accompanied by the growing sound of waves was frightening.

"coming."

Jiang Xun stared at him without blinking and spoke in a low voice.

Father Jiang turned around and looked with him. Through the blurry window glass, they could vaguely see a huge shadow connecting the sky and the earth where the sea met the sky. The heavy rain was still falling and the strong wind began to howl, bending all the green trees downstairs. Occasionally, one or two plastic bags could be seen in the air.

"How bizarre." Father Jiang couldn't help but mutter after seeing it.

When a typhoon comes, the local weather will change early, but today he was enlightened to find that the weather changed together with the typhoon!

Thinking of this, Father Jiang became a little worried. He reached out and knocked on the window. After hearing the dull sound, he asked, "Can this window withstand a level 10 typhoon?"

Jiang Mi took a deep breath and said, "No problem. The five-layer thickened bulletproof glass can safely survive the typhoon."

She modified the floor-to-ceiling windows and built an extremely solid concrete wall around them, which was reinforced with steel bars. Typhoons are not scary; what is really scary is the gradually spreading nuclear radiation.
