Chapter 705: Dignity
Bai Yifan’s voice was abrupt.
In an instant, everyone’s gaze followed Bai Yifan’s eyes, landing on Song Kerou who was huddled in the corner.
Song Kerou’s back stiffened, and her entire being was not well.
Bai Anhai and Wang Yiyun had hardly seen Song Kerou before, and when she got on the truck, they didn’t recognize her either.
Bai Yifan had hardly seen her too, but she hadn’t expected him to recognize her.
And to call her out in front of Leng Yebai and Bai Xiqin.
Song Kerou’s body trembled slightly, not from the cold, but from anger.
After being completely driven out by the Song Family, she could no longer go to the former villa. The crystal cores she had hidden and dug out before were also found by Song Ning, not a single one was left for her.
Since that incident, she truly had nothing to do with the Song Family anymore.
She didn’t understand why she saw Song Wenwen sitting in the house, but the Base Commander insisted he hadn’t seen her.
And she didn’t understand why later it was like seeing a ghost, every face she saw was Song Wenwen’s.
She was so scared she almost went crazy, saying many things she shouldn’t have.
But she knew all of this had something to do with Bai Xiqin.
It’s a woman’s intuition; she didn’t know how Bai Xiqin did it, but she knew clearly it was her doing.
Bai Xiqin was the one who caused her to become like this.
The Song Family had no pity for her. Never mind the time she begged for forgiveness and was beaten half to death and thrown out.
The worst was that Song Ning tossed her into the most chaotic living area in the safe base.
The people there didn’t care about Song Kerou’s injuries or how beautiful her face was.
She vividly remembered the barefaced looks in their eyes when she opened her eyes.
Though they wouldn’t do anything outrageous in broad daylight, it was enough to drive her to the edge.
She could never return to the villa area. Without superpowers, she couldn’t find a single crystal core and had to earn her meals like an ordinary woman, using her body.
The Song Family wasn’t just trying to kill her; they were avenging Song Wenwen and only wanted her to wish she were dead.
Her seemingly kind and amiable adoptive parents for the first time revealed their "dirty" side in front of Song Kerou.
She didn’t understand, they used to seem so tolerant, why did they become so cruel after knowing about that incident.
Wasn’t Song Wenwen found?
Song Kerou’s heart had long been twisted; she didn’t want to reflect on her mistakes, only felt the Song Family owed her, and everything she did deserved forgiveness.
As if she could kill someone, and a single apology would erase everything.
"Sister Song, why is your face so twisted?"
Bai Yifan spoke to Song Kerou with a cheeky grin, looking for trouble.
His dad, mom, sister, and brother-in-law ignored him, so he could only amuse himself.
"You’ve got the wrong person."
Song Kerou glanced gloomily at Bai Yifan and took a step towards a Superpower User beside her.
This was her current "meal ticket."
After that incident, Zhu Cheng, who had rented her the villa, was completely disappointed in her.
The Song Family didn’t kill her but knew how to break her psychological defenses.
In a soul-selling deal, Song Ning unemotionally threw in the only person supporting her, Zhu Cheng.
Afterwards, she sunk completely into various dark lives.
Her current "meal ticket" was a Third Rank Superpower User.
A middle-aged fat man, big ears, and a hereditary pharyngitis for decades.
"No way! Sister, you must be the Song Sister I know." Bai Yifan grinned, bearing his teeth, "It’s just Sister looks so much thinner now, and you’ve got more wrinkles."
Instinctively Song Kerou touched her face, the fierceness in her eyes becoming even more apparent.
She indeed looked older.
Because Song Ning had poisoned her. The toxin bit by bit eroded her body, barely holding on.
She didn’t even know if she would see the next day’s sun.
She wanted revenge, but the Song Family was really too powerful, every plan she made was discovered by Song Ning.
When she was almost ready to just live muddled, this opportunity came.
Long-term meal ticket Li Yong took her out on a mission, and she coincidentally met Bai Xiqin’s parents.
Countless schemes to deal with them ran through her mind, but before she could act, Bai Xiqin and the others arrived.
Song Kerou’s desire for revenge grew stronger.
But she was just an ordinary person. The reason she was able to go out on missions was because Li Yong enjoyed seeing girls in panic.
If the Base Commander’s purpose of hunting wild cattle wasn’t to recruit the weak in the base, Song Kerou might not even be out here.
Song Kerou was low-key enough that she never approached the Base Commander, so he didn’t know Song Kerou was involved.
"You’ve actually got the wrong person, my name is Li Rou."
Song Kerou lowered her eyes, looking pitiful as she nestled into Li Yong’s embrace.
Her face was extremely haggard, no longer bearing its former beauty, lacking any tear-inspiring charm.
If she wasn’t more open than other women, Li Yong wouldn’t have found her attractive.
Li Yong cast a glance at the grinning Bai Yifan, saying nothing.
He wasn’t blind; he saw the Base Commander’s attitude towards Bai Yifan and the others.
Being mid-level in the safety base, he couldn’t provoke those connected to the Base Commander.
Bai Yifan heard what Song Kerou said and didn’t speak further.
It was really boring, he thought he could cause a commotion!
He knew about the Xiao Lan zombie incident, and even more so knew Xiao Lan Zombie suffered because of her.
He wanted to scold her to vent, but it felt like punching into cotton.
Bai Yifan stopped speaking, and Song Kerou breathed a slight sigh of relief, placing her hand disgustingly on Li Yong’s big belly.
It looked like a very intimate gesture.
Out of the corner of her eye, she couldn’t help but fall on Leng Yebai.
Even though everything began because of him, Song Kerou couldn’t bear to hate the man before her.
In fact, her infatuation grew deeper.
The things you can’t have are the best.
Song Kerou even thought, with her ruined body not lasting much longer, that if she could take Leng Yebai to hell with her, it would be quite good.
However, she seemed to lack the capability.
But, as long as there was even a slight opportunity, she would never give up.
If possible, she would pull the Song Family down to hell together too.
"Behave yourself, and I’ll make sure you have a full meal when we get back!"
Li Yong frowned as he saw Song Kerou’s gaze fall on Leng Yebai, pinching her arm.
Even through the down jacket, it immediately bruised.
He couldn’t afford to provoke the Base Commander’s son and didn’t want Song Kerou to bring trouble for him.
"I won’t."
Song Kerou pressed her thin lips together, her eyes empty, speaking softly.
Her body trembled violently, appearing scared to others, but in truth, it was anger, humiliation.
During those times, she had long accepted becoming like this; after all, it meant being fed, the pride of the past was long gone.
Yet in front of the person she cared about most, she still wanted to keep a little dignity.
But this shred of dignity was something no one could give her.
Bai Xiqin had noticed Song Kerou long ago, even when Bai Yifan was talking to her, Bai Xiqin’s gaze was pinned on her.
Besides Song Kerou’s pitiful appearance drawing more attention, Bai Xiqin was most concerned with the scent on her.
