Chapter 1026: Lu Tianyu Didn’t Die
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
She turned and saw a few people looking at her and her friends. A man and a woman were at the front, with three men following behind them. The woman was the one who asked the question, seeming to be in her twenties. She fixed her eyes on Lin Qiao with a shocked face, seeming to be uncertain.
Lin Qiao quietly looked at that woman and took off her sungla.s.ses.
“Ah! This is impossible! Why aren’t you dead!” The woman burst in screams once she saw Lin Qiao’s eyes. She glared at Lin Qiao and took two steps backward, as if she was scared.
The man beside the woman also looked at Lin Qiao with surprise. Earlier on, he noticed her beautiful back and found her both strange and familiar. Before he could figure out who she was, he heard what his girlfriend said. Being reminded by her, he remembered Lu Tianyu. As same as that woman, he was also surprised and couldn’t believe it.
Lin Qiao spent a short while looking at that woman with confusion, then gave a glance to Shen Yujen, who was standing by her side. “Do you know who she is?”
Shen Yujen looked at that woman and furrowed her brows as she thought for a moment and then responded, “She looks a little familiar… But, I don’t remember who she is.”
Lin Qiao searched through Lu Tianyu’s memory, but still didn’t remember that woman. It seemed that Lu Tianyu didn’t care about her at all.
“What? You don’t remember me? I’m… That’s not important. Weren’t you dead?” The woman noticed the confused look on Lin Qiao’s face and heard the question she asked her friend, figuring that she clearly didn’t remember her. So, she instantly stepped forward and yelled out loud, the fear and disbelief from earlier disappeared by now.
The woman seemed to be emotional and angry. From her, Lin Qiao also sensed a scorn toward herself… toward Lu Tianyu. The woman seemed to not like Lu Tianyu, but also be upset about the fact that Lu Tianyu didn’t know her.
“I’m sorry, I have a very short memory. Who are you?” said Lin Qiao coldly.
Hearing that woman call Lu Tianyu’s name, the surrounding people all wore a knowing look on their faces and soon started to whisper to each other.
“No wonder I found her look familiar. I just couldn’t figure it out…”
“Yeah. I was thinking about which district this pretty lady came from. I felt that I’ve seen her somewhere before. It turns out that she’s Lu Tianyu…”
“Didn’t she die a year ago? I heard that she was thrown into a zombie crowd. Who exactly is she? She’s not her, is she? Did she survive?”
“Is it really her? She does look like her, but she’s so different from that woman!”
“That’s true… She looks so much more pleasant to the eyes than Lu Tianyu.”
People started to look at Lin Qiao from head to toe with surprise. The men were attracted to her naturally while the women looked at her with scorn, jealousy, dislike, and all the other complicated emotions in their eyes.
It was Lin Qiao wearing Lu Tianyu’s skin. However, those people had started to believe that Lu Tianyu didn’t die. She might have been saved, or miraculously survived.
The world outside the base was dangerous, but also full of opportunities. Perhaps, Lu Tianyu triggered her superpower when her life was threatened, or someone found her and saved her life.
Seeing her standing there, people believed the saying that she died a year ago turned out to be untrue.
“Eh? Didn’t people say that she p.i.s.sed Chief Wu off last year and got killed? If she’s not dead, how dare she show up in Sea City Base again?”
“I’m thinking about the same thing! How dare that disgusting woman cast her eyes on Chief Wu? She even kidnapped Chief Wu’s precious daughter to threaten him. I would have killed her and thrown her into a zombie crowd if I were Chief Wu!”
Those women looked at Lin Qiao like looking at a bagful of trash and raised their voices on purpose. Most of the people on the scene had never seen Wu Yueling, so they had no idea the little girl they talked about was standing right in front of them.
Of course, a small number of people had recognized Wu Yueling amongst the group of kids, so they looked at Lin Qiao in a meaningful way.
People’s whispers didn’t affect that woman who called out Lu Tiany’s name the first as she popped her eyes when she heard what Lin Qiao said. She was infuriated because she thought the other was teasing her.
“You don’t know me? Hehe, that makes sense! Some women have to sleep with different guys to survive. You are living a comfortable life at the base. How would you know the ones who work so hard out there like us?” After the short anger, the woman changed her expression and said with a cold, sarcastic smile.
Her words made the man beside her a little unhappy. “Xuer,” the man glanced at her with a frown and said.
Bai Xuer glared at the man with discontentment and said, “What? Are you taking her side now? Did I say anything wrong?” After saying that, she turned back to Lin Qiao and looked at her scornfully. But, she abruptly noticed Teng, who was carried in Lin Qiao’s arms. So, she paused briefly and then said, “I was wondering why you look so different from before. I almost didn’t recognize you. It turns out that you finally thought it through and became a surrogate mother. Whose kid is this? I wonder if he’s healthy or not.”
She was trying to say that since Lu Tianyu had sold her body so many times, she might have some kind of disease. How could the baby that she gave birth to be healthy?
“Are you done?” Lin Qiao looked at the woman with composure. Then, she turned around and walked forward calmly without making any reaction to Bai Xuer’s words. She didn’t intend to have any communication with that woman.
“You… Stop!” Bai Xuer didn’t expect Lin Qiao to turn and walk away just like that. Her cold att.i.tude made Bai Xuer felt like a clown. She automatically glanced at the others, who seemed to be watching a show. The look in their eyes pierced into her heart like needles.
Recalling how Lu Tianyu used to laugh at her and despise her, Bai Xuer had hatred raising from her heart. She was now at level-four. Last year, Lu Tianyu insulted him back when she was only at level-two. That woman didn’t need to pay any price for what she did all because she was Yang Chao’s girlfriend.
But, Yang Chao was long gone. As a commoner, Lu Tianyu would be living a very difficult life in Sea City Base without him, unless she found another man to rely on. After all, she had done many bad deeds in the base.
Lin Qiao ignored her but kept moving forward. Meanwhile, Teng put her hands on Lin Qiao’s shoulder and glanced back at that woman, then turned away.
“You… Yang Chao died a year ago, yet you are still alive. It seems that you are quite capable indeed! You found another man, didn’t you?” Seeing that Lin Qiao was walking away, Bai Xuer quickly caught up with her and stared at her back as she said loudly.
