Chapter 305: Chapter 305
Jing Shu had never imagined that a single phone call could lead to so many complications. It had never crossed her mind that such incidents could happen so close to her. After all this, it turned out Su Meimei was the ’victim.’
Well, Su Guosheng was unreliable after all, not daring to utter a word for so long. It seemed it was time to resort to some tricks.
Jing Shu slowly walked toward Su Meimei. It was too early for Su Meimei to be tortured into suicide. How could this be acceptable? At a minimum, she needed to live long enough to kill her previous life’s accomplices—Zhang Zhongyong and Erin’s whole family. She needed to experience this ’wonderful’ apocalyptic life, to suffer all the hardships Jing Shu herself had endured in her previous life. Su Meimei had to continue living with hatred. To think of dying just like that—wouldn’t it be too easy on her?

Jing Shu softly said, "Su Meimei, aren’t you going to wake up? The woman who stole your father arranged for Erin to target you more than a decade ago, setting her up to steal your man. Now those women have gotten what they wanted: one stole your father, and the other stole your man. Shouldn’t you stand up and strike back fiercely?"
"Now Zhang Zhongyong has learned the truth and is deeply disappointed in Erin. Also, your father’s woman has cheated on him; the child isn’t his. That means you’re the only bloodline left in your family. Your father will stand by you from now on. Shouldn’t you rise and fight?"
Suddenly, Su Meimei snapped open one terrifyingly bloodshot eye, an eye filled with hatred. Jing Shu’s words reverberated continuously in Su Meimei’s mind, incessantly provoking and offering her suggestions.
"Kill them, kill everyone! AAAH!" Su Meimei howled crazily.
"That’s right. Here, eat some chocolate, drink some water, and you’ll be fine." Jing Shu placed the water and chocolate in front of her, and Su Meimei pounced on them.
Zhang Hanhan swallowed hard, eyeing the chocolate and licking her lips incessantly. As for Zhang Zhongyong’s family, they were now in a strange state. The two grandmothers were doting on Ai Yong, their only grandson, trying to comfort him as he cried continuously. Zhang Zhongyong was dazed. He had offered his genuine affection, only to be met with such heartbreak; he couldn’t accept it.
Within a minute, Su Meimei had devoured the food completely, regaining some vitality. Her symptoms of frothing at the mouth had also stopped.
Uncle slowly exhaled. "Looks like she was just hungry. It’s good that she’s not dead."
Mrs. Jing’s gaze was complicated as she observed the greatly changed Su Meimei. She had known her for many years and felt a mix of emotions. She too had complex feelings regarding Su Meimei.
Erin sensed the danger. Su Meimei had changed, seemingly regaining her life force. She was no longer as desperate, numb, and submissive as before. "Get out! Get out of our house now!" I must completely drive this woman out!
Su Meimei expressionlessly untied the rope binding her and said, "According to official records, Zhang Zhongyong and I are legally married. The one who should leave is you. This house contains half of my assets, and no one can drive me away. From today onwards, Zhang Hanhan and I will sleep in the second bedroom. If anyone dares to cross me—" Su Meimei revealed her hideous, blinded eye and sneered,
"I will fight them to the death! I will perish together with them! Before I die, I want to gouge out her eyes, bite off her ears, and drink her blood! After all, I’ve already died once. I’ve thought it through: instead of dying like such a coward, I might as well drag a few down with me!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hanhan shuddered. Her mother had changed, not only in her terrifying appearance but now also in her bizarre, bloodthirsty disposition. It was too horrifying. She didn’t want to stay with Su Meimei; she wanted to find her grandfather!
"Zhongyong, look at this crazy woman... she’s trying to kill us! It’s too dangerous to live with someone like that. I’m worried for you and the baby’s safety," Erin cooed while clinging to Zhang Zhongyong’s arm. Zhang Zhongyong quietly pulled his arm away, turned, and went back into the master bedroom. "I want some peace and quiet."
"Mom, Uncle, let’s go. She’s fine now; they don’t need us," Jing Shu said with a smile.
They had come to see Su Meimei one last time, but now that she hadn’t died, their presence was useless.
"Oh, oh, then let’s hurry and go."
It was also awkward for Uncle’s family to be standing there. The group left without saying anything more. They hadn’t gone far when they heard roaring from inside the house. Uncle was puzzled. "Listening to that voice, it doesn’t sound like someone who drank a bottle of sleeping pills. This is the first I’ve heard of someone taking sleeping pills, sleeping it off, and then being all lively and kicking again."
Aunt shot Uncle a look. "You just love to stir things up. Maybe she took fewer sleeping pills, or perhaps she has some immunity and resisted it."
In the darkness, Jing Shu smiled. Su Meimei, you must hang in there. Even if you don’t kill this whole family, you still need to make their lives a living hell, so they never find peace.
Su Meimei still couldn’t die. If she died, it would only allow Erin and Zhang Zhongyong, that despicable pair, to achieve their blissful union. How could Jing Shu let them have their way?
The matter of Su Meimei’s suicide attempt soon passed. It didn’t cause even a ripple in Jing Shu’s busy life, nor did it affect Mrs. Jing’s life. Indeed, in her past life, Mrs. Jing had taken extra care of Su Meimei. This was because of Uncle’s family’s tragic death and Mrs. Jing not knowing Su Meimei’s true origins at the time.

But none of that had happened in this life. Instead, Su Meimei had even managed to make Mrs. Jing dislike her. Now, without even a direct blood relation between them, Mrs. Jing felt neither love nor hate for her. Now, even if Su Meimei were to die in front of her, Mrs. Jing would probably only lament briefly. Jing Shu found this outcome very satisfying.
However, Jing Shu’s tranquility only lasted for half a month before it was slightly disrupted again.
As the third year of the apocalypse drew closer, Jing Shu started to get anxious.
Jing Shu considered herself fully prepared for the second year of the apocalypse, having contemplated all possible factors. However, this past year had involved too many incidents, including several close calls with death.
Now, as the third year of the apocalypse approached, Jing Shu had food supplies ready. However, everything else was still up in the air. Her numerous responsibilities, in particular, were hindering her preparations.
Most importantly, she had to visit the United States in the third year. Before leaving, she had to ensure her family was well-settled; otherwise, she wouldn’t have peace of mind.
But just at this critical time, her elder aunt called again. She said her eldest daughter-in-law was about to give birth in a few days and wanted Grandma Jing to come and preside over the birth.
