Rebirth: Love in the Apocalypse - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Fake
“I see you are walking around with three or four men. By your reasoning, are you exchanging sex for supplies? I know it’s the apocalypse and most diseases have been eliminated but you should still be careful.”

Mo Chenxuan wasn’t merciful

What if she was a woman?

What if she was the daughter of the Qin family?

Mo Chenxuan didn’t care about this.

Since she dared to attack his Wu’er, he directly activated the three times rebound function.

‘I will not allow you to harm Wu’er in this life.’ Mo Chenxuan thought, his eyes narrowed into slits.

“You…” Qin Lan turned pale.

She didn’t expect the beautiful man to say such rude things about her.

After all, she was beautiful and had a good family.

“You…, how could you slander me like this?” She finally said, her eyes glistening with tears.

Seeing this, several men couldn’t stand it and a tall figure blocked Qin Lan behind him.

“Are you a man?” The tall figure accused Mo Chenxuan.

“Miss Qin is a decent lady from a good family. How could you besmirch her reputation?”

“She is a decent woman but others are not?” Mo Chenxuan sneered.

“Since she equates having a boyfriend to selling oneself, then she should not have a problem applying the same standards to herself.”

“Sister…” A voice suddenly echoed and Qin Lan appeared from behind the man, looking at Qin Wu with an unbearable expression.

“Why do you look so wronged? Since you can insult others, why do you feel so aggrieved when others insult you?”

Qin Lan couldn’t bear it.

She didn’t know how to handle the beautiful man.

Fortunately, Mo Chenxuan was already bored of her games.

“Stay away from my girlfriend.” He said, pulling Qin Wu from the crowd.

When they were a short distance away, Qin Wu suddenly burst into laughter.

“What’s wrong?”

“When did you learn to scold people?” She asked.

Although Mo Chenxuan was not cold, he had an indifferent personality.

As a result, he always smiled but Qin Wu had long learned that smiling didn’t equate to being happy.

That said, this was the first time she saw him scolding a person so badly.

“You can’t be soft with a green tea bitch.”

“Green tea bitch…, you even know this?”

Mo Chenxuan shrugged and his lips twitched in amusement.

“I am not sure if she is a green tea bitch or a white lotus. However, being soft with either can only lead to trouble.”

“Do you have a lot of experience in dealing with green tea bitches and white lotuses?” Qin Wu asked and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

However, Mo Chenxuan did not want to lie to Qin Wu.

“I have suffered heavy losses from these kinds of women.” Mo Chenxuan shuddered.

Because he skipped classes and went to college at an early age, Mo Chenxuan didn’t have a chance to properly interact with his agemates.

When he started his business, all kinds of monsters crawled from the woodworks.

If he wasn’t being drugged, he was being harassed in one or another.

In the end, Mo Chenxuan learned that using soft means could not deal with these monsters.

The only way to deal with them was stripping their face and giving them no place to hide.

After hearing about the things in college, Qin Wu couldn’t help but feel sorry for Mo Chenxuan.

In fact, she had also witnessed some crazy things during her time as Mo Chenxuan’s secretary.

Fortunately, the man was no longer a naïve college student and could easily deal with ambitious women.

Thinking of ambitious women, Qin Wu narrowed her eyes.

“Brother Chenxuan, you have to be careful of Qin Lan.”

“Okay.” Mo Chenxuan said but Qin Wu shook her head.

“You don’t understand.” She said.

“What do you mean?”

“The way she was looking at you is not right.”

“I don’t think there is anything to worry about since I have completely torn her face.”

Qin Wu chuckled when she heard this.

“Your understanding of green tea bitches is too superficial.”

“Really?” Mo Chenxuan didn’t think so.

After all, he had not only dealt with such monsters in college and workplace but also in the apocalypse in his previous life.

“Women are complicated.” Qin Wu sighed and began explaining.

“You insulted her but also inspired her desire to conquer. Sooner rather than later, she will blame your behaviour on me and will renew her determination to get you.”

Mo Chenxuan was flabbergasted when he heard this.

“What does my behaviour have to do with you?”

“Beats me.” Qin Wu shrugged.

However, she knew Qin Lan and knew her thought process very well.

“Also…, you are my boyfriend and Qin Lan doesn’t like it when I have anything. Even if she doesn’t want you, she will try to conquer you for the sole purpose of making me lose you. She is perverted like that.”

Qin Wu was the proverbial fake heiress.

She and Qin Lan were born on the same day and in the same hospital.

As a result, an accidental mix-up happened and two Qin families took home the wrong daughters.

Before Qin Wu’s birth, her biological family was relatively wealthy.

Unexpectedly, soon after they took Qin Lan home, the family had an accident and lost it’s wealth.

The family blamed this on Qin Lan.

They called her broom star and used this superstition to treat her badly.

Qin Lan grew up with a warped personality because of this.

However, she was good at pretending and soon learned to fend for herself.

On the other side, the fake heiress; Qin Wu, had a happy childhood.

Unfortunately, there was no such thing as an eternal banquet.

During her second year of high school, Qin Wu’s adoptive mother had an accident.

Consequently, blood and other tests were conducted and everyone discovered that Qin Wu was not part of the clan.

This put everyone in an awkward position.

After all, they had been a family for more than ten years.

That said, no one could let it go.

Qin Wu wanted to find her biological family and the Qin family wanted to find their biological daughter.

A short while after the incident was first discovered, Qin Lan was found and brought back.

However, her adoptive family was dead and Qin Wu could not return to them.

Everyone was relieved at first.

After all, they had real feelings for each other and the Qin family was reluctant to let go of Qin Wu.

Unfortunately, Qin Lan couldn’t tolerate this.

When no one else was around, she often taunted and blamed Qin Wu.

She felt Qin Wu had stolen her fate.

Because of the switch, she had suffered while Qin Wu enjoyed a life that did not belong her.

During Qin Wu’s third year of college, the relationship completely broke down.

In fact, the break was not dramatic or caused by a major incident.

Rather, it was the accumulation of small things that completely disrupted the harmony of the Qin family.

It was also at this point that in Wu realised that she had always been looking at the Qin family with coloured glasses.

When it came down to it, the family disregarded right or wrong and blamed Qin Wu for affecting the family’s harmony.

Qin Wu was completely disillusioned by this outcome.

However, she didn’t give up on herself.

After the college entrance examination, she left the Qin family and rented a cheap house.

She also began working, hoping to accumulate enough money to finance her college education.

Unfortunately, she thought too well but reality was cruel.

Although she performed well in her entrance examination, she did not get into her preferred college and course.

Fortunately, the Qin family wasn’t too cruel and still left a way out for her.

In the following years, she studied business administration and after some twists and turns, she became Mo Chenxuan’s secretary.

During those years, Qin Wu did not see or interact with the Qin family.

However, their paths crossed again during the apocalypse.

Recalling what happened after she reconnected with the Qin family in her previous life, Qin Wu clenched her hands and gritted her teeth.

‘I won’t make the same mistake.’ She thought.

“I will always be with you.” A pleasant voice suddenly interrupted her recollection.

At the same time, a big hand wrapped around her smaller one.

“I know better and won’t make the same mistake again.” She said with a determined face.

“I know.” Mo Chenxuan smiled.

“Brother Chenxuan…”

“What is it?”

“You are right. There is no use in pretending.” Qin Wu said.

Originally, Qin Wu thought she could calmly face the Qin family.

However, after facing Qin Lan, she realised there was no need to force herself.

Since she didn’t like the Qin family, why force herself to smile when she greeted them?

What was the use of disgusting herself?

After thinking about it, Qin Wu gave up her original plan.

‘It’s best to treat them as they deserve.’ She decided.
