Chapter 330

“Huh, it really doesn’t itch as much anymore.”

After a while, the middle-aged woman lifted her head from the washbasin, her face filled with surprise.

Everyone looked over curiously.

The red scratches on her face had faded significantly, and the swelling had also gone down.

“It really works!”

Everyone marveled at the effect.

Just then, another woman raised her red, swollen right hand.

“My hand accidentally got hit by some of the rain, and now it’s getting itchier and itchier. Will it work if I use this too?”

“Then hurry up and give it a try.”

The middle-aged woman, Huang Yan, quickly handed over the washbasin.

But the woman with the swollen right hand hesitated, a hint of disgust in her eyes.

“You’ve already used this water. Won’t the effect be weaker?

And what if the toxins you washed off your face are still in the water? If I use it too, won’t that just make things worse?”

“Well...”

Huang Yan was momentarily stumped by her words.

The woman with the swollen hand turned to Yun Xiaoxiao, her face plastered with a fake smile.

“Little girl, do you still have that water? Can you give me a bottle too?”

Yun Xiaoxiao quietly glanced at her, then shook her head indifferently.

“No, I don’t.”

As soon as she said this, a flash of anger quickly crossed the woman’s eyes.

But she hid it well, immediately replacing it with an overly fake smile.

“How can you not have any? You’re lying, aren’t you?

Children shouldn’t tell lies.

If you have it, just give it to me. Don’t be so stingy. One bottle or two, it’s all the same. My hand is really itchy.”

“Hu Ling, don’t be like this. The little girl already said she doesn’t have any.”

Huang Yan shook her head at her.

The others didn’t know how capable Yun Xiaoxiao was, but they had just witnessed it.

She was worried that Hu Ling might cross the line and offend Yun Xiaoxiao, leading to an unpleasant situation.

But Hu Ling completely missed Huang Yan’s hint, her mouth twisting in anger.

“Sister Huang Yan, your face is fine now, so of course you’re not in a hurry.

But my hand is unbearably itchy. What if it gets worse?

I think she’s just being selfish and doesn’t want to share!

So narrow-minded at such a young age.

It’s just a bottle of water. Why be so stingy?”

As she spoke, she kept glancing at Yun Xiaoxiao, her tone dripping with sarcasm, as if Yun Xiaoxiao owed her something.

Huang Yan was about to say something, but Yun Xiaoxiao spoke up first, her voice calm and icy.

“You’re right. I do have it, but what can I do? I just don’t want to give it to you.”

“What?!”

Hu Ling was infuriated by Yun Xiaoxiao’s tone.

“Why?!”

She glared at Yun Xiaoxiao, her temper flaring as the itch in her hand grew worse.

Yun Xiaoxiao shrugged. “No reason. I just... don’t like you.”

Hu Ling: !!!

“How dare you! Do you know who I am?!”

She roared in anger.

No one had ever dared to treat her so disrespectfully!

“Alright, Hu Ling, just come and wash your hand already.”

Huang Yan quickly tugged at her sleeve.

Others also chimed in, “Yeah, Lingzi, don’t be like this.”

But Hu Ling not only refused to listen, her anger only grew.

“Sister Huang Yan, if it weren’t for my sister taking you in back then, you would’ve been bitten to death by zombies!

But look at you now, siding with some outsider to bully me!”

As she spoke, her eyes reddened.

“My sister’s dead, and this is how you treat me? How can you live with yourselves?!”

The others exchanged uneasy glances.

A girl in her teens, Little Dong, broke free from Huang Yan’s grip and stepped forward.

“If no one else will say it, then I will. I’ve had enough!”

She stared straight at Hu Ling. “We’re all grateful that your sister took us in.

But you’re not her.

Why should we treat you like royalty just because of what she did?

Everyone takes turns going out to find supplies, but not you!

We’ve let that slide.

But at least you could help out around here, right?

Instead, all you do is sleep and eat.

You don’t lift a finger.

And that’s not even the worst part.

Whenever things don’t go your way, you bring up your sister and act all high and mighty, like we owe you something.

We owe your sister, not you!

Besides, we’ve already done more than enough to repay you since your sister died.

We don’t owe you anything!”

The girl’s voice grew louder as she spoke.

“Oh, and let’s not forget—if you hadn’t been so reckless, ignoring Sister Huang Yan’s warning about the acid rain, and gone out to pick up your stupid high heels, you wouldn’t have tripped and fallen!

Sister Huang Yan wouldn’t have had to risk getting hurt in the acid rain to carry you back!@@novelbin@@

Her face wouldn’t have been injured!

If it weren’t for this little girl’s water, Sister Huang Yan’s face would’ve been ruined because of you!

And now, when Sister Huang Yan kindly offers you the water to wash your hand, you have the nerve to complain!

You ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‍should be grateful you even have the chance to use it!

If I were her, I wouldn’t give it to you either.

You’re so spoiled!”

As soon as Little Dong finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Everything she said was true.

But out of respect for Hu Ling’s late sister, everyone had kept quiet, choosing to endure her behavior.

Now that it was all out in the open, the atmosphere became awkward.

The truth was, Yun Xiaoxiao hadn’t given Hu Ling the water because she had seen what happened earlier.

Just after sending out the radio message, she had walked to the window and seen Hu Ling running into the rain in her high heels.

Huang Yan had tried to stop her, but Hu Ling shook her off.

After falling, Hu Ling threw a tantrum on the ground, forcing Huang Yan to rush out into the rain without any protection to bring her back.

Someone like that? Yun Xiaoxiao would never save her.

Not stabbing her was already an act of mercy.

Saving her?

Out of the question.

Her spiritual spring water wasn’t meant for just anyone.

Being publicly called out, Hu Ling’s mood darkened.

Her face was stern, and her fists clenched tightly.

Huang Yan, still soft-hearted and mindful of Hu Ling’s sister’s kindness, tried to smooth things over.

“Hu Ling, Little Dong is young. Don’t take her words to heart.

The water might’ve been used, but it should still work.

Wash your hand first, or the wound might get worse.”

She carried the washbasin over to Hu Ling, patiently persuading her.

But Hu Ling slapped the basin away, sending water splashing everywhere.

She glared at Huang Yan, her voice filled with rage.

“Hmph! I don’t need your fake concern!

Do you know how disgusting it is to see you acting all self-righteous?

It makes me sick!”

With that, she pointed at the door of the clock tower, her neck veins bulging.

“Now, I want all of you to get out of here immediately!”
