Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Her Delusions

She asked about it a few times for the following months but she always got the same answer, the court hasn’t released it yet.

After a few months of getting the same reply, she stopped asking, thinking that it might even take a decade for the money to be released.

That is another decision she came to regret later as a year after the death of her parents, the court gave the order and the funds were released.

She only found out about it when Leng Pan invited her to her new house. Getting to the apartment in such an expensive community, she thought that either the funds were out, or Leng Pan had sold her parents’ villa.

However, knowing her sentimental character, she would never sell the villa she grew up in with her parents. So, there was only one way she had enough money to buy this apartment, the court had released the money and she had used it to buy the apartment.

Even though Bai Yinyin had found out about the financial situation of Leng Pan’s family, she didn’t know how rich they were. She assumed that rich families have a lot of money, but if they buy one asset such as a house, they would have used all their funds.

After all, that is how many people she knew in the place she lives do things. Thus, she assumed that Leng Pan, using the money her parents left behind to buy a house had already used up all their savings.

Thus, she didn’t continue to ask for the luxury goods she had been clambering for and pretended to be an understanding friend.

She thought that since Leng Pan could still live in such a luxurious apartment in the future, even without as much money as before, she could maintain their friendship.

Moreover, with Leng Pan as a friend, she could meet other wealthy people. Hadn’t she met that super handsome CEO, Lu Zhen through Leng Pan?

Too bad that guy treated her like air even when she tried talking to him. She had fallen in love with him at first sight and had even told Leng Pan about it.

Truth was she had noticed that Leng Pan also liked the guy but was too shy to accept his advances. She knew her sense of loyalty wouldn’t allow her to date the guy if she found out that her friend had a crush on him. And just as expected, after she expressed her feelings for Lu Zhen to Leng Pan, she began to avoid him.

At the time, Bai Yinyin had thought that she had achieved something and with Leng Pan out of the way, she could get Lu Zhen’s attention.

Who would have thought that the guy was fixated on Leng Pan. Whether she avoided him or accepted him, he never looked at another woman.

She was so depressed that she wanted to kill someone. How can there be such a loyal man? How come no matter what tricks she played, he never even once looked at him.

One time she had tried probing Leng Pan to see if she could agree to set her up with Lu Zhen and even advise him to marry her but that was the first time that she saw Leng Pan contradict her with a serious expression.

It looked like she had stepped on her bottom line. Leng Pan could distance herself from the man she loved because of her loyalty to her friend, but to advise her to set them up together was too much to ask.

After that time, Bai Yinyin never brought the subject up again. She just tried creating opportunities herself, but no matter what she did, that man never looked her way.

It made her feel like a clown jumping around and entertaining others. She could only observe him from a far and watch as he did everything for Leng Pan even when she shunned him.

No matter where Leng Pan was, he would follow her. When she was in danger, he would appear and protect her even at the expense of getting hurt.

Leng Pan’s heart softened after a few times and simply joined the same team when the apocalypse began. Even though she never accepted him, she didn’t avoid him as much as before.

When he died to protect her, Bai Yinyin had caught her several times crying and scolding herself for being stupid. Asking why she hadn’t just accepted him and at least had a few happy years together since he wasn’t going to choose anyone else anyway?

Bai Yinyin hadn’t expected her to be so regretful. She became like a walking corpse and was no longer so keen on survival.

Bai Yinyin had gotten angry seeing her like that as it reminded her of how Lu Zhen had never looked at her kindly but didn’t hesitate to throw his life away to protect that little wretch.

That was when she started thinking about killing her and began to pretend to be sick and weak to force Leng Pan into going into dangerous places to look for medicine and herbs.

That’s how she had ended up dead. At first she was happy about Leng Pan’s death. She didn’t expect to suffer later because of her choice.

Now sitting here again in the beginning of everything, she would still make the same choices as before, just that she wouldn’t let Leng Pan die as then she would lose her protective amulet.

Moreover, she could still help Lu Zhen avoid some of the disasters and then maybe he would see her value and fall for her instead of following behind Leng Pan like a lost puppy.

If she couldn’t make him fall in love with her, she could at least use the information she had about the future to bargain with him and have him date her.

Even without love, he didn’t mind as long as he could get the man Leng Pan cherished so much. Anyway, in this apocalypse, she was going to make sure she thrives and have Lu Zhen take revenge for her and kill those men who violated and humiliated her in her previous life.
