Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 522

Chapter 522: Another Confession (2)

On the other side, Lu Yu chased after Shen Zhen. He caught her wrist and stopped her from running any further. He said to her, "Where are you going in a hurry?"

Shen Zhen halted and turned to look at the man behind her. She frowned and said to him, "Didn’t you call me because someone was injured?"

"No." Lu Yu shook his head as he pulled Shen Zhen into a mansion that was cleaned just in the afternoon and walked over to the small garden where a swing was placed. "There is something that I want to talk to you about. Come and sit down."

Shen Zhen also seemed to have realised what was going on. She looked at Lu Yu and took three hesitating steps before sitting down on the swing that was in the middle of the garden.

This building was cleaned up just a few hours ago; thus, even though the mutated plants were cleaned, they could still smell the scent of roses mixed with something else that smelled suspiciously like blood.

Lu Yu said to Shen Zhen, "Doctor Shen, are you determined not to get married?"

"That’s right..." Shen Zhen nodded, but for some reason, she lacked the determination that she had in the past. This was because the man was looking at her with such a fierce look that her heart started to beat a bit wildly.

Hearing his response, Lu Yu knelt in front of her and said to her, "What if I tell you that I will try my best to win your heart and make you trust me?"

When Shen Zhen heard his words, she shook her head and spoke in a calm voice, "It’s not that easy. You have no idea how it feels. To be used and then discarded by your own father. I was made to work since I was ten, and my sisters were sold by him before they could even understand the way of the world. I couldn’t trust the man who was never supposed to let me down, so how can I trust strange men whom I don’t even know?"

She had seen the cruelty and selfishness of her father. He was a useless man who couldn’t do anything other than make his wife pregnant every second year and would later blame her for being a hen who couldn’t lay eggs just because she couldn’t give birth to a son.

As if that man had a throne to pass down to his son when the truth was that he couldn’t even raise his own daughters and had to rely on their earnings.

Her brother? He was the carbon copy of his father. He only knew how to open his mouth and ask for money from her. Never a word of thanks, never any show of gratitude. These two men were supposed to take care of her sisters, treat them with kindness, and make sure that they were protected.

What did they do? They sold them for money without even bothering to see what kind of family they were sending them to.
