Dacheng just couldn’t understand what went wrong. He knew that Lei Qian and Bai Meiyue did not know one another before the apocalypse. This was something that Yang Chunhua had confirmed, and though he lived in the countryside, he too had seen a little entertainment news. From what he knew, Bai Meiyue and Su Hu were together until the end of the world.
So, how did the child in Bai Meiyue’s belly end up becoming someone else? And how come Lei Qian was willing to accept the child that didn’t even belong to him?
Could it be Lei Qian’s? But how could it be possible? The child in Bai Meiyue’s belly was not even four months old, and the world ended just around that time, unless by some freakish coincidence, the two of them met when Bai Meiyue was drugged by her father and stepmother.
"I will tell you the truth, since it’s not a secret anyway," Bai Meiyue stated coldly. "But before that, I want to ask you what wrong I have done to you that you were willing to sell me to Yu Miaomiao? You and I both know that joining the team that Yu Miaomiao had created would ultimately kill me, and yet you wanted to send me there. Have I ever treated you wrongly? Harmed you? If not, why were you so eager to see me die?"
"It’s not like that..." Dacheng frowned while being pressed to the floor. He thought for a moment and thought it through before deciding to tell the truth to Bai Meiyue. "I just wanted to make use of the child in your belly to make you or Lei Qian join the base. As long as either of you joins the base, I will be able to get promoted. Anyway, a woman like you would sooner or later become a burden on a man; no matter how powerful you are, you are just a tool who will give birth to the child of a man."
"So even if you die... it is not my concern."
Bai Meiyue curled her lips and sneered. "It seems like you are finally willing to get more honest." She had never cared about this man when he joined her team, as she knew that there was no point in getting entangled with someone like Dacheng. He had created a perfect persona in front of Yang Chunhua and the others; thus, no one saw through his little tactics, unlike her, who had seen many men like Dacheng in the apocalypse. "So it means you also used Yang Chunhua to save your life? You knew that she liked you, but despite knowing that, you played around with her and never rejected or agreed with her?"
"That’s right."
Yang Chunhua gritted her teeth when she heard Dacheng’s response. She knew that this man didn’t like her and was only using her, but she was still hoping that it was not like she thought it was. However, now that she had heard the truth from his mouth, how could she delude herself into believing that her friend was still honest and caring?
