"You... Yueyue, they are your parents, isn’t this too heartless of you?
You’re living comfortably in the hotel. Since you have the means, you should be filial to your parents!
If others find out that you don’t even care for your parents, it will definitely affect your reputation and also the business of Jianglin Hotel."
Jiang Zhenzhen certainly wasn’t ready to give up like this. She wanted people to see that the high-and-mighty Chu Jiangyue had a pair of snobbish parents and a leech of a brother!
This way, Chu Jiangyue’s perfect image in Jianglin Hotel would be thoroughly shattered.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhenzhen couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Chu Jiangyue, I finally caught your weak spot. I won’t let you continue to be smug!
"Oh, I am indeed such a cold-hearted and ruthless woman. If you think they are pitiable, then use your own copper coins to exchange for food for them."
A family that favored males over females, where she had to earn her own tuition and living expenses, and even had to send money every month, she’d be crazy to help them in the apocalypse.
Surviving through extreme heat and cold weather for so long, and they still haven’t died, she truly had to marvel at how tenacious this family was!
She just didn’t know how this family made it from G City to City B, which was crossing more than half of Hua Country.
"You... they are your parents and your brother, are you really not going to care?"
Before the apocalypse, wasn’t Chu Jiangyue clamoring to earn money for her parents’ medical expenses? It hasn’t been that long, and her attitude has completely changed.
Jiang Zhenzhen looked into Chu Jiangyue’s eyes, trying to see some clues from her face.
But from start to finish, Chu Jiangyue appeared very unemotional, showing no signs of heartache for her parents or brother at all.
At this point, Jiang Zhenzhen knew that her plan to use Chu Jiangyue’s parents to coerce her might not work out.
However, if things weren’t working with Chu Jiangyue, Jiang Zhenzhen didn’t want to give up.
Since Chu Jiangyue truly didn’t care, she shouldn’t blame her.
"Yueyue, I didn’t expect you to be so ruthless. Even as an outsider, looking at your parents and brother, I feel they are too pitiable.
But after all, I’m an outsider and can’t say much, nor can I change your decision.
I’ll go out now and tell them clearly, telling them not to look for you anymore."
Finishing speaking, Jiang Zhenzhen turned and walked towards the entrance of Jianglin Hotel.
Watching Jiang Zhenzhen’s back, Chu Jiangyue squinted her eyes?
『Little Fox, keep an eye on them for me.』
Chu Jiangyue naturally couldn’t just let Jiang Zhenzhen leave like this. Otherwise, if Jiang Zhenzhen played a game in public opinion, even if she didn’t care about what others said, it wouldn’t be good for Jianglin Hotel to be affected.
"Received, host."
Within Jianglin Hotel’s operating range, there was already 360-degree surveillance with no dead angles, allowing for monitoring at any time and place.
Moreover, as long as they were within its scanning range, these people were under its surveillance. It could detect whatever they did, so Little Fox agreed without any pressure.
After leaving from Chu Jiangyue, Jiang Zhenzhen arrived at the entrance of Jianglin Hotel and politely brought the family of three in.
"Hello Uncle, Auntie, and little brother. Yueyue might have some misunderstanding with you, so she’s not very willing to see you right now.
However, if you have a Crystal Core in the hotel, you can stay. I’ll take you to check-in."
Letting Jiang Zhenzhen pay for their check-in was impossible, but she did bring them into Jianglin Hotel.
As long as they’re in Jianglin Hotel, they would eventually meet Chu Jiangyue. By then, a conflict would certainly erupt.
Jiang Zhenzhen was eagerly anticipating Chu Jiangyue’s expression at that time.
"What? That damned girl actually dares to hide!"
As expected, when they heard Chu Jiangyue didn’t want to see them, the woman with a harsh face instantly exploded.
Jiang Zhenzhen chuckled inwardly but outwardly seemed troubled: "Yueyue doesn’t want to come; I can’t help it. But I believe family grudges won’t last overnight. Uncle and Auntie, you just stay in the hotel. Once you see Yueyue, clear things up with her. I’m sure Yueyue won’t mind."
Jiang Zhenzhen instructed them to find Chu Jiangyue when they encounter her while also coaxing Chu Jiangyue secretly.
Right now, Jiang Zhenzhen wasn’t asking for much; she just couldn’t stand seeing Chu Jiangyue living well.
With this family around, Chu Jiangyue’s days would surely become more colorful.
"Humph! What’s the misunderstanding? It’s just that she thinks she’s grown wings and doesn’t want to support the family anymore!"
"Oh, keep quiet for a moment!"
"Mom and Dad, the environment here is too good. My sister has been living so well all this time and hasn’t come to find us!"
Chu Yaozu looked at everything in Jianglin Hotel, and greed unconsciously filled his eyes.
Chu Jiangyue had lived here for so long, surely she accumulated a lot of good stuff. Soon he would ask Mom and Dad to go and demand those things from her!
Chu Yaozu thought it was only reasonable and didn’t feel there was anything wrong with doing so.
Leading the way, Jiang Zhenzhen kept her triumphant smile hidden from them.
Especially after hearing the family of three’s conversation, she felt these people might have arrived at just the right time.
There were more people now at Jianglin Hotel, and many took notice of Jiang Zhenzhen bringing in the family of three.
However, it didn’t attract much attention; they merely thought Jiang Zhenzhen brought back survivors from outside.
To be honest, currently outside, they mostly encountered frozen corpses, so finding survivors was really difficult.
This family of three, they could only marvel at their large fortune.
"This is the registration hall. To stay in the hotel, you must obtain an Identity Card, and then use a Crystal Core or some gold, silver, and jewelry to exchange for currency usable in the hotel.
Your account must have money to check into the hotel’s rooms or to buy food at the restaurant."
The residence area and the restaurant are the places Jianglin Hotel’s guests visit the most.
"What? We need Crystals and jewelry! How could we have those! My daughter, since you’ve brought us here, lend us some Crystals, and we’ll pay you back later."
But they had no intention of paying back, once it was in their pocket, they would never give it back!
However, Mrs. Chu was well-versed in human nature, so naturally, she wouldn’t say they wouldn’t return it.
Jiang Zhenzhen inhaled deeply and repeated in her mind, this is to deal with Chu Jiangyue, this is to deal with Chu Jiangyue!
"Okay, but I don’t have much, I can only give you a little. In the future, if you want to stay in a room again, you’ll have to find Crystals or gold and silver jewelry yourselves."
With a pained heart, Jiang Zhenzhen took out ten Level 1 Crystal Cores. No matter how much Mrs. Chu sweet-talked, she wouldn’t take out more.
The crystals she had were from the time shortly after the zombie wave when extreme cold weather just began, and she went out daily to dig diligently.
Now that the extreme cold was so severe, without buying a cold-proof and warm suite, she dared not step outside Jianglin Hotel.
If the extreme cold persisted, her little savings might not last much longer.
