"Where did you go just now? Do you know because you were not here, I couldn’t even get a bite of food!" before ng Suisui could speak, ng Anzhi lowered her voice and yelled at her. "These people are not my colleagues and didn’t show any face to . If you were here, then I could have at least gotten a few packs of biscuits. But because you left, no one showed any face."
"You need to be more careful now. These are no longer the old tis; now wait for the brother of Sister Xue to co back. When he returns, make sure to grab a few supplies for and yourself as well."
ng Suisui, who was scolded so hard that the spit nearly flew on her face, was stumped. Her heart turned a bit more cold and she retorted, "What’s wrong? They didn’t give you any face even though you gave them the life-saving supplies of your cousins?"
Hearing her words, ng Anzhi was stunned and her face turned a bit bad. She stomped her feet and said, "This and that are different."
"How is it different?" ng Suisui snorted. "You are really good, Anzhi. I thought that you were yet to understand that the world had changed. But it turns out that you have long learnt it. Its just that you don’t care about the lives of your cousins and gave the supplies to others, am I right?"
"How can you bla for that?" ng Anzhi didn’t feel like she had done anything wrong. "They were hungry and I—"
"Were we not hungry?" ng Suisui questioned. "Do you think that I and Qibao can starve for days without eating anything? Or maybe you thought that since we are family, you can do anything, treat us as you want, right?"
ng Anzhi didn’t speak and ng Suisui pursed her lips. She knew that her sister was a bit selfish and wilful but was this just a little bit of selfishness?
Seeing that ng Suisui was silent, ng Anzhi panicked. Even though she wanted to win the favour of the actors she had once liked, she knew that she needed to rely on ng Suisui for almost everything; she could not offend her cousin.
So, she hurriedly said, "Sister Suisui, there is no need to be so harsh on , right? Once Sister Xue’s brother returns, I will save so supplies for you, alright? Will that do? I really didn’t an any harm."
As she finished speaking, her eyes turned red, and she looked at ng Suisui with a pitiful look on her face.
ng Suisui sighed when she heard ng Anzhi’s words. She said to her, "This is what I wanted to talk about." She pulled ng Anzhi out of the house and to a corner in the carpeted corridors. She didn’t want others to hear about what she was going to say. "Anzhi, I think we should not rely on others. Even though Sister Xue’s brother is willing to share his supplies with others, he had exchanged them with half of his life. We should find a job—"
"Pfft, Sister Suisui, are you still dreaming?" ng Anzhi snickered. "Do you think that the world is still the sa as before? You can go out and get a job if you want? Instead of wasting your ti, you might as well stay in the house and help where you can. At this point, what’s the point of being so prideful? There is no other choice but to rely on others."
Maybe ng Anzhi thought that she was a bit rude to ng Suisui and softened her tone, "Don’t worry too much, sister. Sister Xue said that her brother is really strong and he can find a lot of supplies. I am sure that we will not go hungry in the future."
"Are you going to rely on Brother Bai all your life?"
"This… I haven’t thought about it. But don’t think too much; we will wait for Brother Bai to return and we will talk about it later on."
"If that’s what you want," ng Suisui sighed. She was really disappointed with ng Anzhi; the reason she ca here was because she wanted ng Anzhi to beco self dependent. But before she could say anything, ng Anzhi stopped her from speaking.
From what she could see, ng Anzhi was determined to follow Su Hu and Bai Xue. Since that was the case, there was nothing that she could do.
She sighed and turned on her feet to walk away.
Seeing this, ng Anzhi couldn’t help but chase after her cousin. "Where are you going? There is still room inside. You and Qibao can squeeze in."
"There is no need," ng Suisui looked at ng Anzhi coldly. "There are enough apartnts that are vacant because of the tsunami. I and Qibao can live in one."
After speaking, she turned on her feet and walked away. ng Anzhi, who was left behind, wanted to chase after ng Suisui but then stopped when she heard ng Suisui’s words. She raised her hand and slapped her cheeks. "That’s right, there are so many apartnts that were empty. Why are we all squeezing into this one?"
She turned around and wanted to tell the others to go and find a vacant apartnt but ng Anzhi stopped herself in ti. What was she doing? This was the right opportunity to make Su Hu feel indebted to her. If she brought this suggestion up in front of him, he would think that she was really smart and witty.
ng Anzhi’s smile widened as she rushed inside the house.
When Su Hu heard ng Anzhi’s suggestion, he agreed with her at once. The penthouse was only this big; how could they allow this many people to live together with them? Even Bai Xue had nothing against it, as she too was getting tired of the noise as well.
They hesitated for a mont before asking the survivors to go and find a vacant house where they could stay for the ti being.
Though so didn’t agree, the majority of them left the penthouse, allowing Bai Xue to heave a sigh of relief.
