001 Return Before the Apocalypse_3

Fang—Mengyao!

When Fang Yuxin thought of Fang Mengyao, resentment swelled within her. She quickly stood up, ready to confront Fang Mengyao, then suddenly remembered that Fang Mengyao didn't live with them. Her dad had bought Fang Mengyao a high-end apartment, and she was likely staying there at that moment.

Fang Yuxin checked the time—it was 2:30 in the morning. It was very late, and it would be unwise to recklessly seek out Fang Mengyao now. She didn't even understand what that dream was about, and it would be foolish to rush to Mengyao and confront her.

So she calmed down and decided to wait until tomorrow. According to the dream, tomorrow her dad would bring home a set of jade jewelry. The bracelet mentioned by Mengyao in the dream was part of that set.

She remembered that Mengyao was there back then, and after seeing it, cried and begged her dad for it, speaking outrageously. Not wanting to trouble her dad, she let Mengyao have it. But at the end of the dream, Mengyao said that bracelet was a treasure, which bothered Fang Yuxin deeply.

In the dream, Mengyao had been relentless about the set of jade jewelry, with a stubborn determination to obtain it. Initially, Yuxin didn't pay much attention to this part of the dream, but at the end, when Mengyao said that the bracelet was a treasure, Yuxin couldn't help but feel that Mengyao had known all along, which is why she insisted on having it.

But how could that be possible? And what did she mean by saying that Mengyao had long since died?

Fang Yuxin hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't resist, picking up her phone and dialing a number. Soon the dial tone sounded, but no one answered until the call automatically disconnected. With a frown, Fang Yuxin dialed again, and on the sixth try, the person finally answered.

"Hello?"

Fang Yuxin wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she felt the voice on the other end was very cold, different from Mengyao's usual tone. Mengyao was her dad's illegitimate daughter, not from an affair, but because someone had drugged him, and by the time he woke up the next day, that woman had disappeared. Her parents were very angry about it, only to have that woman show up eight months later, visibly pregnant, at her mom's company and beg on her knees for approval in front of everyone!

Her parents always had a strong relationship and naturally wouldn't agree, but by then the baby was well-developed, and terminating the pregnancy seemed too cruel. After the child was born, her dad gave the woman some money as child support and cut off any further connection. Fifteen years later, however, that woman reappeared with Mengyao, claiming she was dying and wanted to entrust Mengyao to the Fang Family.

That's how Mengyao entered their household, but because she was an illegitimate child, she always felt inferior and had never spoken to Yuxin in such a tone.

Probably because Fang Yuxin didn't speak, the other person spoke again, impatiently, "It's so late, do you need something?"

Fang Yuxin actually had many questions for Mengyao, but at that moment, she didn't know what to say. She couldn't just ask about the dream, so she hesitantly spoke, "Are you comfortable living alone? Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm quite good. Since there's nothing wrong, I'm going to hang up." With that, she hung up the phone without any courtesy.

Fang Yuxin immediately furrowed her brows. She kept feeling as though Mengyao was hinting at something—was she overthinking?

At Xiangxie Garden, Building X, Unit X, No. X, Fang Mengyao threw down her phone, looking at the still bleeding wound on her left side and sharply inhaling through clenched teeth. Recalling the inexplicable call, she coldly laughed, "Fang Yuxin? The debt you owe Mengyao, I'll collect it for her bit by bit. Just you wait!"
