013 Hua Mi felt a bit guilty

To avoid drawing the Garrison's attention, Hua Mi smiled as she adjusted Fang Xin's pink coat collar, then turned to get in the car and drove away.

Fang Xin was left standing in place, half her body slammed against the car door, in terrible pain.

Suddenly, the voice of Qin Ziran sounded behind her,

"Xinxin, was that Ah Mi who just left?"

Fang Xin's face, filled with resentment, suddenly turned weak and innocent as she hugged her arms and turned around, tears streaming down,

"Brother Ziran, sister, sister hit me... wu wu wu wu..."

Qin Ziran hadn't witnessed what happened, he had been searching for Hua Mi at the rescue center for several days and had only seen Hua Mi's figure today.

He didn't care about whether Fang Xin was in pain or not, but was instead blaming her,

"Didn't I tell you? After you find her, you should call me immediately. You know she's angry with me right now."

"Brother Ziran, it hurts..."

"Ah Mi is now blocking my calls and has deleted me from her WeChat contacts. Where am I supposed to find her now?"

Qin Ziran didn't care whether Fang Xin was in pain, but kept blaming her for not notifying him.

She should have called him the moment she saw Hua Mi and told him where she was.

Fang Xin looked at Qin Ziran crying,

"But sister hit me, Brother Ziran, and she already knows about us."

"Did you tell her?"

Qin Ziran's expression changed abruptly, his eyes glaring at Fang Xin, extremely irritated.

Fang Xin certainly wouldn't admit it, hurriedly shaking her head, the tears flying off her face,

"Of course not, Brother Ziran, how could I possibly tell her that? I don't know who told her, but she said she already knows and she hit me too."

The important point was that Hua Mi had actually hit her.

Qin Ziran then looked at the arm that Fang Xin was cradling, but he didn't approach to comfort her. Instead, he commanded her,

"Next time you see her, deny everything to the death. She has no proof; she might just be bluffing you."

The affair with Fang Xin had happened too many times; they had always kept it a secret. How did Hua Mi suddenly come to know of it?

Qin Ziran quickly scanned the few people in the know in his mind, but none of them were the type to gossip.

It certainly wouldn't have been Fang Xin who told anyone; after all, she, a vocational school graduate, was now living comfortably thanks to Hua Mi.

Indeed, Fang Xin had not been diligent in her studies growing up and had taken advantage of Hua Mi to coast through a vocational high school before getting a job in sales.

Like Qin Ziran, Hua Mi was equally outstanding, both were graduates of prestigious universities, promptly receiving excellent job offers upon graduation.

In the future, as long as Qin Ziran married Hua Mi, he would have a very promising future.

At least, it would be much easier than marrying Fang Xin.

Thus, Qin Ziran knew from the start that the person most suited for him, the person he loved the most, was Hua Mi, not Fang Xin.

Fang Xin inwardly refused to accept this, but looking at Qin Ziran, she obediently nodded her head.

"Brother Ziran, next time I'll obediently call you the moment I see sister. Please, don't be mad~"

Fang Xin knew how to charm this man.

Despite the pain, she extended her pinky finger and stealthily hooked Qin Ziran's, pulling it towards her lower abdomen.

Qin Ziran pursed his lips and looked at her, her eyes brimming with tears, her nose red from crying.

She looked pitiable.

For a moment, the virile Qin Ziran hesitated.

He didn't speak, nor did he scold Fang Xin any further.

Instead, he took Fang Xin to his car and drove to a secluded place...

Unaware of what was happening between the two, Hua Mi drove straight to the water bottling plant, arriving at the back door, she saw a familiar face.

It was the truck driver.

He was chatting with the mineral water dealer.

Hua Mi felt a twinge of embarrassment. She thought she would never see this truck driver again, yet here he was, having found his way to the water plant.

After all, the truck belonged to him. Since the driver had come looking for it, she couldn't very well not return it.

Therefore, Hua Mi proactively hopped out of the truck, greeted the driver with a nod, and handed him a very generous red envelope,

"I'm really sorry, sir. I noticed you hadn't contacted me for several days, so I borrowed your truck for a while. This is for the fuel."

"No worries at all, I understand. You were in a rush to make deliveries. I really should be thanking you."

The truck driver Ah Fu not only didn't get angry but also gratefully accepted the red envelope from Hua Mi, then went on to share recent events.

As it turned out, his house had collapsed, trapping his entire family in the rubble. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but they were buried deep and couldn't get out right away.

So for several days, his whole family survived under the rubble relying on two boxes of instant noodles given to them by Hua Mi.

Until they were all rescued by the rescue team, completely unharmed.

Instant noodles were truly a savior. They required no boiling, just tear the package open and eat.

So, as soon as he was dug out, Ah Fu went to his employer, the supermarket supplier, intending to buy more instant noodles.

Yes, instead of looking for his truck first thing after being rescued from the rubble, he wanted to stock up on instant noodles.

While chatting with the supplier, Hua Mi arrived in her big truck.

He was endlessly grateful to Hua Mi. If it hadn't been for her, his whole family might have starved to death by now.

Or, even if they hadn't starved, their condition after being rescued wouldn't have been as good as it was now.

However, Hua Mi felt somewhat guilty, as her original intention had been to appropriate Ah Fu's truck.

After all, she had lived through the apocalypse for so many years, and some thoughts had become deeply ingrained, so it wasn't really her fault.

In the apocalypse, whoever found something on the road, it belonged to them. If two people coveted the same thing, then they would fight for it.

Whoever won the fight would take the prize.

So Hua Mi never felt that there was anything wrong with her actions.

Facing Ah Fu's sincere gratitude, Hua Mi smiled and asked,

"So after you finish buying the noodles, what's your plan? Are you going to continue delivering to the supermarket?"

She still needed to use Ah Fu's truck, so at this moment, Hua Mi couldn't just vanish into thin air.

Ah Fu was stunned, scratching his nearly bald scalp. At this point, Xiang City was slightly chaotic. He had just emerged from the rubble, his family was still shaken up, temporarily living in the rescue center without a solid plan.

And with the current instability in his delivery job, he could only respond with a bitter smile,

"Not sure yet. I'll see if the boss has work for me to do."
