Bai Zhan then raised his head and looked at Bai Meiyue before saying to her, "The situation outside seems chaotic; you should stay at home, Yueyue."
"Of course," Bai Meiyue agreed. There was no need for her to worry about going out for the time being, because in a few days the entire city was going to be flooded due to the sudden tsunami for which no one had prepared.
And when that happens, the entire world was going to shift.
The sound of the doorbell echoed in the penthouse and just as Bai Meiyue got to her feet and walked over to the security camera, she heard a voice coming from the intercom.
"Miss Bai, I am the property manager. Manager Ni, is it convenient for you to open the door?"
Bai Meiyue frowned and looked at the greasy face that was staring up at the camera and turned on her feet without saying anything. She was not going to open the door. If he was smart, then Manager Ni would turn around and leave.
To think that this man actually used the universal pass lock to open the door that separated her corridor from the other two.
Bai Meiyue, of course, was not surprised. She knew that even if she came up with all kinds of security precautions, there would be someone who would cause trouble for her. If not for the fact that this building had the strongest chance against the tsunami, she would have never come here and would have chosen to buy a mansion!
However, Manager Ni was like a haunting ghost. He didn’t leave even though Bai Meiyue did not reply or open the door; instead, he continued to speak.
"Miss Bai, we don’t mean any harm. As the manager of the apartment building, I know that you have bought a penthouse that has two floors plus an open space. I wanted to ask if you can take in a few residents and let them stay with you until this situation gets better."
"Miss Bai, I know that it will trouble you and your family but you should at least allow them to stay with them for a few days. We can’t leave these people alone, can we? They are so pitiful."
However, when Bai Meiyue did not open the door, the rest of the residents who were standing behind Manager Ni tried to morally kidnap Bai Meiyue.
"Why are you being so heartless? We are willing to pay you. If that’s what you want."
"Just open the door and let us in; we are hungry and cold. Are you going to watch us die in front of your house?"
"Do we need to kneel and beg you now? Is that what you want!?"
"You have such a bad heart; there are elderly people dying here and you are refusing to open the door!"
Bai Meiyue sneered.
