Chapter 90 : Zombie Empire 4 (1/2)

Mama Gu was standing next to Papa Gu so she turned to look over upon hearing Papa Gu call out. Seeing that it really was her daughter, a hint of unease flashed across her face.

“Yi? You know Uncle and Aunty Gu?” The baby-faced man looked at Shi Sheng in surprised. ‘The person I saved at random turned out to be related to some people??’

Shi Sheng laughed coldly. “Of course I know them. They’re my parents.”

“Parents?” ‘Since they’re your parents, why are you using such a harsh and ridiculing tone?’

“Xiaonan, back then you-”

Mama Gu interrupted Papa Gu, her expression worried yet angry at the same time. “You damn girl, don’t you know how worried we’ve been, being unable to find you ever since you ran out in the middle of the night?”

Mama Gu started choking with sobs as tears streamed down her face. “Since you’re here now, stay by our side. Mom and Dad will protect you.”

“I wouldn’t dare. I don’t have parents who would abandon their own daughter and run off with someone else’s.” ‘You want me(bbb) to play along with you? Are you dreaming?’

Mama Gu thought that since Gu Nan was alone, she would have to play along with them if she wanted to survive in the apocalypse. In the original storyline, Gu Nan had met them too, though it wasn’t here but on the road to City B.

Her mother had also spoken like this, telling people that it was because she had run off one day and how worried they had been when they couldn’t find her. Back then, Gu Nan had gone along with their words to escape those beasts who had tainted her. She had to deal with odd looks from the surrounding people.

‘Pity, I’m not Gu Nan.’

“What’s going on?” The baby-faced man was clearly a bit confused and the surrounding people also directed their gazes over.

Shi Sheng spoke before Mama Gu could, “I had a fever when the apocalypse started so my parents abandoned me and ran off with my cousin.”

“What?! They abandoned their daughter?!”

“How could they do such a thing?!”

Only six days had gone by since the start of the apocalypse so aside from those who had already been evil from the start, a large majority of people still retained their humanity.

“You unfilial daughter! How did I give birth to such an ingrate?! Back then when you hung out with those people, I didn’t say anything yet now you’re saying this about me! Just what did I do wrong?!”

Mama Gu started crying, as if she was speaking the truth. For a time, no one knew who to believe.

“Alright, that’s enough. It wasn’t easy to survive. You guys are family, what kind of enmity lasts between family, right? Right now, surviving is most important.”

“Everyone go back and make use of the time to rest up.” The driver got everyone to disperse before casting a look at Shi Sheng. “Let’s continue talking about your matter after Boss and Ms Qi get back. Rest up first.”

Shi Sheng’s lips tugged upwards into a smile. “There’s nothing to discuss. I won’t recognise them.”

“Xiaonan… don’t be rash. You know what it’s like outside now. It’s safest to stay with us.” Papa Gu’s character was softer due to the constant suppression by Mama Gu so his speech was slow and hesitant.

“Then just treat me like I’m dead.” ‘I’m not going to accommodate these kinds of parents!’ “You guys only have Qi Mingxue in your eyes anyways. Go and be her parents, by all means, don’t waste your time on me.”

‘There’s nothing Gu Nan wanted with them anyways.’

Gu Nan did hate them but they were her parents—the people who had given birth to her and had raised her. Even if they had treated her that way, in the end, she still had no intentions of taking revenge on them.

“Fine! Your Dad and I will just take it that we raised you for nothing! From now on, we’ll have nothing to do with each other! Old Gu, let’s go!”

“Er, Xiaonan…”

“Go! What are you still talking to her for? She won’t recognise you!” Mama Gu dragged Papa Gu as she shouted, “Even a dog would know how to wag its tail after so many years of raising it, but look what we got in return for raising her for this long?”

The baby-faced man and the driver had awkward expressions on their faces. This was the Gu family’s private matter so they weren’t able to butt in.
