Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 289: Calculations (2)
She turned on her feet and walked over to where Bai Feng was sitting silently on a plush couch. Hiding the calculative glint in her eyes, she plopped down on the floor — and knelt right in front of Bai Feng. Though the pain in her knees made Bai Xue's eyes turn red with tears, she suppressed the urge to cry. She lowered her head and begged in an aggrieved voice,
"Brother Feng, I beg you to save Yueyue. That man —the one who hurt her—is actually living with her. I don't know what his intentions are but since he is keeping her by his side, I don't think that's anything good."
Bai Feng frowned upon hearing her words. He straightened up on the couch and faint golden sparks flew from the tips of his fingers, which singed the edges of the couch. He glanced down at Bai Xue with a faint angry look, which made the woman suck in a breath.
"Speak clearly; what do you mean by that Yueyue is in trouble?" Bai Feng asked with a scowl. "The man who bullied Yueyue? You mean to say the client that father arranged for her—"
Bai Xue shook her head and said, "No, it's not him. It's a different man; Sister Yueyue escaped from the clutches of that client." Because Bai Feng was thinking about Bai Meiyue, he didn't notice the flash of resentment and anger in Bai Xue's eyes when the woman talked about Bai Meiyue escaping from the hands of that old man and rushing to the arms of someone as excellent as Lei Qian.
How good would it have been if Lei Qian had fallen for her? Then she wouldn't have to worry about anything. She would have lived like a queen!
"What do you mean by that: it's another man?" Bai Feng asked. His tone was not good as he continued asking, "What are you trying to say exactly?"
"Sister Yueyue managed to escape the clutches of that old man but she was caught by a bastard. He was the one who bullied her before the end of the world. I thought that he would die now that the world is in this situation, but that man is still alive and is living in the apartment complex. I think that he is bullying her and making her work hard to collect supplies for him."
"I just saw Sister Yueyue bringing more than ten sacks of supplies. She and Aunt Yan don't need so many sacks of supplies; surely that man is forcing her to hunt the supplies."
When Bai Xue thought about how Bai Meiyue was having a good time living with Lei Qian, she wanted to sow discord between the two and make it impossible for the two of them to stay together.

Wasn't Bai Meiyue acting confident because she had a supernatural team? Then she would drag Bai Meiyue down with her and snatch Lei Qian and his team from Bai Meiyue. Once those men started favouring her, Bai Xue was sure that Bai Meiyue would come crawling to her.
The only reason that woman was acting so smug was because she had a bunch of ability users protecting her. Once Lei Qian started hating her, she was sure that Bai Meiyue would have nowhere to run or hide.
"Who told you this?" Bai Feng asked instead of rushing to question Bai Meiyue.
When Bai Xue heard his question, she cursed him for being nosy. However, she still blinked her eyes and innocently said, "Do I need someone to tell me this? I don't think that man is a good man. If he was, why would he sleep with my sister when she was drugged? Not to mention any decent man would refuse to come near a woman whose life he had almost ruined. But that man is living with Sister Yueyue—I think he is planning something really terrible."
When Bai Feng heard that the man who had bullied Bai Meiyue was causing trouble, he got to his feet and helped Bai Xue, who was still kneeling on the ground. He asked her, "Tell me clearly, what's going on?"
Though he didn't lose his rationality as he knew that Bai Meiyue was not as foolish as to let a man suppress her, at the same time, he couldn't help but feel angry when he thought about how someone had bullied Bai Meiyue and was even dancing in front of her. Who was this shameless man who had lost all his shame?
He couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought about how much Bai Meiyue had suffered. Bai Xue, who hated Bai Meiyue, was actually kneeling and begging for her safety. Was Bai Meiyue really doing well?
While Bai Feng was worried about Bai Meiyue, the latter was lying on her comfortable bed, trapped in the memory of that night. She had no idea whether it was because of Lei Qian's continued persistence but suddenly the memories of that night started flooding in her head.
She hummed softly as she turned on her bed while being trapped. While Lei Qian said that he remembered everything regarding that night, the truth was that other than his face, Bai Meiyue did not recall anything.
Now that she was dreaming of that day, she remembered everything. In the dream, she was running in the dimly lit corridor while escaping from the old man arranged by her father. She could hear the booming, loud noise of the Dj.
Not far from where she was standing, she could see a door opened at the far end of the corridor. Bai Meiyue didn't even stop to think twice before she charged right at the door, which was opened and had illuminated the corridor.
Just as she threw herself inside the room, the man who was the owner of the room looked at her with a surprised expression on his face. His phoenix eyes, which were filled with stars, stared at her with pure affection.
"H–Help me."
