Rebirth: Love in the Apocalypse - Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Chu Wan’er Plots
“Wan’er, is something wrong?” Ouyang Jun asked.

Before the apocalypse, the Ouyang family was a first-class force in City T.

It owned the Ouyang Group which had dozens of companies across many fields.

Unfortunately, Ouyang Jun was an illegitimate child and because of this, he was not qualified to inherit the family business.

That said, the man had a cunning mind and was unwilling to give up the Ouyang Group.

If the apocalypse didn’t happen, maybe the Ouyang Group would have eventually fallen on him but such possibilities were no longer relevant.

At this time, he, Leng Han, and Yang Qian were in a room with Chu Wan’er.

Moments ago, someone delivered a letter and after reading the note, Chu Wan’er fell silent.

“Team Legends is back.” Chu Wan’er said in an indifferent voice.

However, her three men weren’t fooled.

Although she seemed indifferent, she was probably excited and looking forward to seeing Mo Chenxuan.

Unfortunately, her ‘hidden’ expectations were destined to come to nothing.

“Team Legends has ranked up. They are now a rank C team.” Chu Wan’er said.

“As expected of the fourth brother.” Yang Qian said with a nostalgic expression.

“The fourth brother has always been capable.” Leng Han also agreed.

“You call him fourth brother but he no longer considers us as brothers.” Ouyang Jun sneered.

“It’s expected.” Leng Han said.

He, Ouyang Jun, Yang Qian, and Mo Chenxuan had been friends for a long time.

Because of this friendship, Leng Han never said anything to Chu Wan’er when she was Mo Chenxuan’s girlfriend.

However, he sometimes couldn’t help himself and made some subtle moves.

Once in a while, he would use his connections to learn her schedule and then contrive run-ins and occasions to be alone with her.

Ouyang Jun and Yang Qian were the same.

They took advantage of their friend’s trust in them to subtly get close to his woman.

This was a taboo among brothers.

Knowing this, Leng Han didn’t expect forgiveness from Mo Chenxuan.

He didn’t even expect civility.

However, he wouldn’t do things differently if he was given a chance to redo his life.

In the end, he loved Chu Wan’er more than he valued his friendship with Mo Chenxuan.

This was the truth of his heart and he felt no need to make excuses.

Thinking of this, Leng Han sighed and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

“We can’t be whores and expect a memorial archway.” Leng Han said, shocking the other three.

“Eldest brother, do you also know such sayings?” Yang Qian asked in an incredulous voice.

After all, Leng Han had always be reticent and showed no interest in popular culture.

“I have heard it before.” Leng Han said, looking at Chu Wan’er with a doting look.

“In one of my dramas?” Chu Wan’er asked, also looking at Leng Han with loving eyes.

Chu Wan’er had long learned there was no fairness in the world.

Although she had three men, she didn’t love them equally.

In her heart, she loved Leng Han more than she loved the other two and loved Yang Qian more than she loved Ouyang Jun.

This was just how she was.

However, she never told them this.

After all, their group relationship was harmonious and she didn’t want to create unnecessary conflicts.

“Mmh.” Leng Han nodded.

When he first fell in love with Chu Wan’er, he didn’t know what to do and couldn’t bring himself to fight with his fourth brother for a woman.

As result, he watched all her dramas, movies, commercials, and appearances, hoping to vent his longing.

Unfortunately, this only deepened his obsession and before he knew it, he began appearing in front of her.

Leng Han didn’t know what would have happened if the apocalypse didn’t come or if Mo Chenxuan didn’t break up with Chu Wan’er.

However, he had a sinking feeling he would have eventually been able to control himself.

When that happened, he would surely have secretly and openly competed with his fourth brother.

‘I have really been an unworthy brother.’ He thought and a trace of self-mockery flashed in his eyes.

What Leng Han couldn’t stand was his own weakness.

He despised that he didn’t say something to Mo Chenxuan as soon as he fell in love with Chu Wan’er.

If he had, maybe things would have turned out differently with his fourth brother.

Unfortunately, regret was a terminal disease.

Since he had made the bed, he could only continue lying in it.

Thinking of this, Leng Han forcibly suppressed his discomfort and looked at Chu Wan’er.

“Mo Chenxuan was also aiming for Qi Shu.” He said in a solemn voice.

‘Mo Chenxuan? Not fourth brother?’ Chu Wan’er raised an eyebrow but didn’t ask for an explanation.

Instead, she lowered her eyes with a thoughtful expression.

“Qi Shu is now in our hands. Chenxaun can only give up.”

As a reborn person, Chu Wan’er knew Qi Shu’s value and because of this, he was high on her list of people she wanted to recruit.

Unfortunately, the man was not a native of city B so she could only wait until he arrived in the base.

However, she didn’t expect Mo Chenxuan to also target the person.

By the time she realised, team Legends had already taken the mission and left the base.

That said, Chu Wan’er was unwilling to give up so she used other means to recruit Qi Shu.

‘I don’t know if Chenxuan will blame me for getting in his way?’ She wondered but didn’t dwell on the matter.

Rather than worrying about whether Mo Chenxuan would blame her, she was more concerned about Qin Wu.

After they met, Chu Wan’er planned to contact the Qin family and subtly plant the thought of arranging a beneficial marriage for Qin Wu.

Unexpectedly, the Qin family got there on their own and she didn’t need to do anything.

Thinking about that, Chu Wan’er couldn’t help but look forward to it.

She hoped Qin Wu would leave Mo Chenxuan’s side as soon as possible.

That way, she would have a higher chance of bringing Mo Chenxuan to her side.

‘Chenxuan is a proud man and can’t tolerate sand in his eyes.’ She thought and frowned.

Her other men were a hurdle that Mo Chenxuan couldn’t get over.

However, Chu Wan’er didn’t want to give them up.

Considering that, she felt their relationship could only be confronted from another angle.

‘Jade pendant space.’ She suddenly thought.

After waking up on the first day of the apocalypse in her previous life, Chu Wan’er accidentally cut her hand while running for her life.

Unexpectedly, blood from the injury dripped on her jade pendant and a space was revealed.

This space was different from that of space superpowers.

When it first appeared, it was one acre of land and a spiritual spring.

Later, the space upgraded and at the time of her death, it was more than one thousand acres and in addition to the spiritual spring, a lake and other things had appeared.

Unfortunately, the space was beaten back to its original form when she was reborn.

At the moment, it was only ten acres and a spiritual spring.

However, this was more than enough for her family and lovers to live a comfortable life.

Thinking about it, Chu Wan’er felt she could use the space to win Mo Chenxuan.

‘Chenxuan was born a genius. He must not be willing to be ordinary in this apocalypse.’ She thought, her eyes narrowed into slits.

When she got the space in her previous life, Chu Wan’er thought the spring water would not only improve her superpower but also make her immune to the zombie virus.

However, that was not the case.

Although the water could improve her superpower, it didn’t make her immune to the zombie virus.

At best, it could slow down the spread of the virus but eventually, the infected person would still turn into a zombie.

That said, the spring water was extremely useful.

With it, Chu Wan’er had reached the top in her previous life and in this life, she was already among the best in the base.

The more she thought about it, the more confident Chu Wan’er became.

However, she forgot that in her previous life, Mo Chenxuan knew about the space but still chose to break up with her.

‘I am the heroine in my own story and there is no need to compromise on the things I like. Mo Chenxuan can only be mine.’ She thought and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

After deciding, Chu Wan’er didn’t rush to Mo Chenxuan’s villa.

Instead, she asked someone to keep an eye on villa eight.

That way, she would be able to take advantage of when Qin Wu and Mo Chenxuan were not together to have a good talk with the person she liked.

…..

While Chu Wan’er was plotting, Mo Chenxuan and Chu Wan’er were preparing to go to bed.

However, before they could, the sound of gunfire echoed in the surroundings, startling everyone in the base.
