Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 421: Scheming Till The End
Old Madam Lei was not worried about her husband's condition; she was worried about Lei Qian abandoning her and the second branch. This bastard only cared about his grandfather. If not for her husband asking him to bring them with him, Lei Qian would have abandoned them at the hideout where he found them.
"Are you done?" Lei Qian was annoyed when he heard Old Madam Lei crying as if his grandfather were already dead. He turned and said, "He is not dead yet. Why are you crying as if he has already left the world?" The way she was crying was as if they were already in mourning.
When Old Madam Lei heard Lei Qian's words, she choked on air.
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Lei Wu spoke in a reproachful voice; his eyes were filled with murderous intent when he saw the attitude that Lei Qian was showing toward him and his family. What was so good about him? Didn't he just awaken some stinky powers? Who allowed him to look down at them?
Sooner or later, he would make this man pay for the humiliation that he inflicted on him and his parents.
Lei Wu didn't believe that he would ever be able to awaken the same skills as Lei Qian. The day he awakened as an ability user would be the day he would pulverise Lei Qian.
However, he was not in any condition to do so at the moment, so he could only lower his head and flatter Old Madam Lei for the time being. "Grandma is just worried about grandpa. Since these doctors cannot help grandpa, why don't we go and accept the offer that Madam Yu gave to us? That way, grandpa's life could be saved."
Just as he finished speaking, Bai Meiyue, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but snort, which attracted the attention of the entire Lei family.
"Is something the matter, Miss?" Lei Wu's eyes flashed when he saw Bai Meiyue. He had never seen a woman as beautiful as her. Not only was she young and tender, but even her features were prettier than most of the women. But what made her charming was her closeness with Lei Qian.
He could see that Lei Qian treated this woman differently from others.
So, how could Lei Wu, who was determined to snatch everything that Lei Qian had, not be tempted to get close to this woman?
He flashed his most charming smile to Bai Meiyue, who arched a brow and rolled her eyes a second later. She understood men like him better than anyone. Even though Lei Wu pretended to be better than Lei Qian, Bai Meiyue knew that he was nothing more than a phoenix man.
She said, "Since when did the offer handed to Master Lei turn into an offer that was given to your family?"
Quirking a brow, Bai Meiyue said to the Lei family, "Wasn't it Master Lei who was given the offer? Then it should be his choice whether to accept it or not. Who are you to make the decision for him?"
"You bitch!" Old Madam Lei was a countryside woman. She had schemed against Old Master Lei to marry him; thus, even though she had stayed as the head of the Lei family for so many years, she could still not get rid of her shrew-like attitude. She glared at Bai Meiyue like a poisonous snake and spoke to her in an angry voice, "Who are you to butt in on our matter? This is our family matter. Leave us to take care of it."
Bai Meiyue narrowed her eyes, and a second later, Old Madam Lei found her tongue frozen. She tried to speak, but her tongue wouldn't move and stayed stuck to the roof of her mouth. Seeing this, Second Aunt Lei screamed while pointing at Bai Meiyue, "What did you do?"
Just as she shouted, Father Lei and Mother Lei arrived on the third floor after hearing what happened from Lei Yan. They saw Second Aunt Lei pointing at Bai Meiyue and scolding her while Old Madam Lei was trying to pull something down from the roof of her mouth.
It was only when they came close that they realised what it was.
"What's going on?" Father Lei asked with surprise in his eyes.
"Brother-in-law! It's a good thing that you came here, or else we would be bullied to death by these people," shouted Second Aunt Lei. She was still pointing at Bai Meiyue, who said, "Drop that finger or I will freeze it until you have to amputate it."
Hearing the threat in her words, Second Aunt Lei turned to glare at Bai Meiyue. "You!"
She never thought that Bai Meiyue would be this arrogant in front of Father Lei and Mother Lei. Nonetheless, she still dropped her hand to her side. She then turned to look at Father Lei and spoke to him in an aggrieved voice, "Brother-in-law, look at this. These people are bullying us so much. Ah Wu simply said a few kind words, and yet they—"
"Aunt, there is no need to say anything anymore." Lei Yan interrupted her aunt; she knew that this woman never said anything good. Every time she opened her mouth and complained to her father, she would twist and turn her waist like a little vixen.
If not for the fact that Lei Yan had to control her words, as Second Aunt Lei was her elder, she would have asked this woman what she was trying to do.
She rolled her eyes and said to Second Aunt Lei, "We know Sister Yue really well. She would never hurt someone without a reason. Grandma must have said something rude to Sister Yueyue, right?"
A hint of guilt flashed in Second Aunt Lei's eyes when she heard Lei Yan's words. However, she was not willing to accept that there was anything wrong with what she did. It was Bai Meiyue who was interfering in their matter. So, how could it be her turn to become a victim?
