"Hello Grandma, little sister. My name is Jiangnan Yan, and I'm Shen Yi's girlfriend!"
Jiangnan Yan instinctively tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as she introduced herself nervously.
She was very anxious, worried that Shen Yi's family wouldn't like her.
Shen Yi had many women. If his family didn't like her, her relationship with him would definitely be affected in the future...
As Jiangnan Yan greeted them, her palms were sweating from nervousness.
"So you're Xiao Yi's girlfriend. What a pretty girl..."
Grandma was a little surprised.
However, after a brief moment of surprise, Grandma also showed Jiangnan Yan a kind and amiable smile.
"Thank you for the compliment, Grandma!" Jiangnan Yan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Great!
Grandma likes me, and she even acknowledged me as her granddaughter-in-law!
Does this mean I'm officially recognized by Shen Yi's family as the main wife now?
Happy!!
Immediately after, Jiangnan Yan looked at Shen Su, whose delicate features resembled a doll's.
A flash of amazement crossed her eyes. Shen Yi's sister was so cute!
Even without much effort in her appearance, her natural beauty was undeniable.
Although she wasn't old yet and still had a youthful face, she would definitely be a great beauty when she grew up!
However, what puzzled Jiangnan Yan was why Shen Yi's sister had been expressionless since getting into the car.
Was she naturally like this? Completely different from Shen Yi.
The personalities of these siblings were so vastly different...
Not only their personalities, but even their appearances didn't seem like those of siblings.
While thinking, she smiled and greeted her, "Sister, hello. What's your name?"
"Hmph!"
Shen Su snorted, turned her head to look out the window, and completely ignored Jiangnan Yan's attempt to talk to her.
This distant attitude made Jiangnan Yan a little awkward.
She didn't know what she did wrong to make Shen Yi's sister dislike her.
Grandma sighed and shook her head, but didn't say anything.
Shen Yi naturally couldn't be bothered to speak up for Jiangnan Yan.
In his eyes, his sister was far more important than Jiangnan Yan.
As for why his sister was unhappy, he knew.
That's just how sister-complexes were.
She'd grow out of it.
The off-road vehicle drove on the way home.
While driving, Shen Yi ate some fruit and used Telepathy to scan the plants along the roadside, looking for any ability fruits.
Unfortunately, after driving for dozens of kilometers, Shen Yi didn't find a single ability fruit.
Of course, it was mainly because most of his attention was on driving, and he wasn't observing his surroundings carefully enough, so there might have been some he missed.
After driving for another half hour, Shen Yi felt the urge to urinate and found a safe spot to park and relieve himself.
"If you need to go too, don't wander too far from the car. There might be danger in the black fog."
Shen Yi reminded them before getting out of the car.
"Brother, wait for me, I'm coming too!"
Shen Su opened the car door and followed in Shen Yi's direction.
Inside the car, Jiangnan Yan was awkwardly making small talk with Grandma.
Although Jiangnan Yan was intelligent, her emotional intelligence wasn't very good.
Especially since she had never been in a relationship before and had no experience interacting with her boyfriend's elders, she didn't know how to start a conversation.
Grandma, on the other hand, asked many questions about Jiangnan Yan's family background indirectly.
"Stinky brother, when did you get a girlfriend? Why didn't you tell me?"
Just as Shen Yi finished relieving himself, his sister's unhappy grumbling came from not far behind him.
"Susu, what are you doing?"
Shen Yi quickly finished urinating, gave himself a couple of shakes, and pulled up his pants.
At this moment, Shen Su also emerged from the black fog, her cheeks puffed out.
Her cute face was etched with unhappiness and grievance, looking as if she were about to cry.
Shen Yi sighed helplessly, wanting to reach out and ruffle Shen Su's head, but then remembering he hadn't washed his hands after urinating, he pulled his hand back.
However, this scene, when seen by Shen Su, instantly made her eyes turn red.
She felt like her older brother had completely betrayed her!
Ignoring Shen Yi's objection, she shoved her head into his palm and rubbed against it a few times.
"Brother, can you break up with her?"
Shen Su looked up, pouting, her eyes red, and gazed at Shen Yi pitifully.
"Susu, don't be so temperamental."
Shen Yi frowned, his tone serious.
Shen Su's aggrieved face puffed out. Seeing no smile on Shen Yi's face, she didn't dare to throw another tantrum.
Although her brother had always doted on her, whenever he wore that expression, it meant he was serious.
"I, I understand."
"Mm, I still have a few other women at home. Susu, you'll have to help me keep them a secret from Grandma later." Shen Yi added as another reminder.
This was also to let his little sister know in advance, so she wouldn't throw a tantrum again later.
"What!?"
Shen Su was instantly stunned.
She looked at her older brother in disbelief.
What did he mean by having a few other women?
Was he starting a harem!?
Her brother, he was actually starting a harem in real life!??
Shen Su had thought that things that shattered one's worldview like this only happened in novels…
But now it was happening right next to her, and it was her own brother!
Shen Su remained in a state of shock and disbelief all the way back to the car.
She glanced at Jiangnan Yan in the passenger seat, her expression becoming strange.
Although she didn't want to admit it, this woman was indeed very beautiful and knew how to dress well. She looked like a rich young lady from the city.
But why would such a rich young lady be with her ordinary older brother?
And she didn't even mind him having a harem…
Could it be because of this black fog outside?
Shen Su's mood became complicated, her young mind suffering a great shock.
She found it hard to accept.
And it made her feel very bad.
But, As Shen Yi's car drove into the city, Shen Su saw the tragic state of the city, and her young mind was struck by another heavy blow.
Shancheng, once a prosperous and bustling city, now had almost no people on the streets.
Only the occasional piercing screams could be heard from within the black fog.
As the off-road vehicle drove, mutated animals would occasionally try to leap onto the car.
Weird, absurd, terrifying!
Shen Su couldn't help but swallow: "Is, is this the apocalypse?"
"Why aren't the police uncles and soldier uncles saving people?"
During this time, Shen Su had been hiding in the cellar with her grandmother and had almost no understanding of the outside situation. She had only thought that this disaster was like an earthquake or a flood, and the country would resolve it after a while.
But, Now it seemed that it was impossible to resolve it in a short time!
Even Shancheng, a new first-tier city with over thirty million people, had fallen!
It was just like the apocalypse in the movies!!
"Most likely, there's no rescue coming..." Jiangnan Yan softly replied to Shen Su's question.
She no longer held any hope for national rescue.
After all, even the female police officer who had joined their big family yesterday said there was no rescue.
It was meaningless to still be fantasizing about rescue.
Fortunately, she was currently safe and had no worries about food or drink. Aside from being a bit concerned about her parents' safety, Jiangnan Yan didn't feel there was anything bad about her current life.
It was just that there were far fewer entertainment activities.
During their conversation, Shen Yi also drove back to the residential complex.
Along the way, he had used Telepathy to see that there were still quite a few survivors on the road.
Shancheng was, after all, a major city with tens of millions of people. Even if more than two-thirds of the population had died in recent days, there were still at least tens of millions of survivors.
After driving into the complex, Shen Yi parked the car in its spot at Building 13.
That was the building where the apocalypse enthusiast Murong Xue lived.
