Back From Ruin: The Boss Who Controlled the Endgame
"Frequent flu outbreaks recently, please pay attention to personal protection, reduce visits to public places, avoid unnecessary gatherings, and keep warm..."
"Han Qingxia, are you listening to me!"
Han Qingxia, who was staring at the news on the television, shivered and looked at everything in front of her in disbelief.
The large living room, over thirty square meters with old decor, was filled with a group of middle-aged men and women sitting on the old mahogany sofa.
In the center was a stout old woman in her sixties or seventies with graying hair.
The old woman was currently glaring at Han Qingxia, her plump, sagging facial muscles twitching up and down.
Han Qingxia looked at the scene before her.
Isn't this the scene from half a month before the apocalypse when her 'good grandma', 'good father', and 'good stepmother' came to force her to vacate her house...?
She was clearly just in the Zombie siege at the Eastern Base...
"Han Qingxia, after your mother left, your stepmother has always treated you like her own. Everyone says she's good! Now your brother is getting married, and he needs to borrow your house. What are you being so stingy about! You're just an ungrateful wretch!"
"Mom, Qingxia isn't an ungrateful wretch, she'll definitely be grateful." The stout woman sitting next to her said, playing the peacemaker in a fake manner.
"Hmph!" The stout old woman snorted coldly. "Hurry up and clear out the house. Your brother said your house has been rented out for too long and the furniture is too old. If he doesn't get new furniture, he can't get married. You can reimburse him for the money later. He's your brother! As his sister, shouldn't you prepare some things for his wedding!"
Han Qingxia, who was standing in the middle of the group, suddenly burst out laughing when she heard this.
They wanted her house and wanted her to pay for new furniture? That was too ridiculous.
Even more ridiculous was that in her previous life, she actually did it!!!
In her previous life, her mother died in a car accident when she was fourteen. Not long after, her stepmother moved in with a son. Her stepmother put on a very good facade, truly being 'meticulous' towards Han Qingxia.
Han Qingxia was in her rebellious phase at that time, prickly towards everyone she met, but in reality, she yearned deeply for familial warmth.
Li Lin's gentleness and understanding truly deceived her. She supported everything and didn't interfere with her affairs, making Han Qingxia truly regard her as a mother for a time.
She was willing to give them anything good.
Later, even the only house her mother left her, she only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
But after the apocalypse came, she was abandoned by them more than once. Later, in order to board a rescue vehicle, they even kicked her away to buy themselves time to escape. Only then did Han Qingxia truly understand what hypocrisy meant.
What family affection meant!!!
From beginning to end, she was the meat they always ate and the blood they drank from everyone's plate! Once she lost her value, they kicked her away!
None of these people ever treated her as a real family member!
She really wanted to slap her foolish past self a few times!
"Bang!"
In front of them, Han Qingxia grabbed several bags of cheap fruit from the old coffee table and threw them into the trash can, then sat down in front of them.
"Han Qingxia, what are you doing! This is imported apple my mom specially bought for you. She said you like apples the most. How could you throw them away!" The young man sitting on the short sofa who had been playing on his phone immediately put down his phone and angrily rebuked her.
Han Qingxia sneered. She liked apples the most?
How come she didn't even know that herself?
She glanced coldly at her 'good brother', "Are you qualified to talk to me about the house?"
At this moment, Han Qingxia looked at him with icy eyes. Han Ying's heart inexplicably trembled, and he didn't dare to meet her gaze.
Those were eyes full of killing intent, the killing intent Han Qingxia had honed from fighting alone in the apocalypse for ten years after they abandoned her!
Han Ying immediately cowered.
Just then, her stepmother Li Lin quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Qingxia, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? If you're not feeling well, we can come back another day. Mom knows you're wronged, but Han Ying is your brother, isn't he! The bride's family insists on a house in the city center. Houses in the city center are hard to buy even with money now, and you have to win a lottery.
"Sigh, just consider it Mom begging you. Just help your only brother. When you get married later, everyone will find a way to get you a set and give it back to you..."
"Give what back!" Han's father, who had been silent, finally spoke. He glared angrily at Han Qingxia, "Do you really think this house is yours! What does a girl need a house for! This house is for your brother! When you get married later, just have your Husband buy one! What are you arguing with your brother about!"
Han Qingxia heard her father's words and was too lazy to even get angry.
In her previous life, she had to wonder why Han's father treated her, his biological daughter, so poorly and treated his stepson so well.
That's because Han Ying was his biological son, his very own son!
Before he married her mother, he had already married Li Lin in his hometown. And had a son.
In his eyes, she was nothing!
Not to mention how ugly his face became after the apocalypse!
She held up two fingers, "Two million."
Everyone present was stunned when they heard this, all confused.
"Han Qingxia, what are you talking about!"
"This house is my mother's pre-marital property, and it was later notarized as a gift to me. The property rights are mine. If you want it, pay up. I'll give it to you for a cheaper price, two million."
"You want to sell the house to us?! Are you kidding! And where would we get that much money!"
Han Qingxia raised the electronic watch on her wrist, "I'll give you five counts to consider. If you don't agree, I'll sell it to someone else. Five."
"Han Qingxia, we are your elders, and you're talking money with us!" Han Ying's grandmother said angrily.
"Four."
"You ungrateful wretch, I'll beat you to death!"
Han Qingxia glanced coldly at the old woman and sped up, "Three, two."
"I'd like to see you dare!" Han Ying's father stood up to hit her.
Han Qingxia kicked the chair from under him, sending it flying, and looked indifferently at Han's father, who had fallen hard on his backside, coldly spitting out, "One."
"Han Qingxia, you've really gotten bold! You even dare to hit Dad!"
Facing the fury of this group of people, Han Qingxia was too lazy to bother with them anymore. She took out her phone and dialed a number, "Manager Li, I want to sell my house, two million..."
This house had been entrusted to a real estate agent for rent for many years. She couldn't get the key until Han Qingxia turned eighteen, which was why this house had remained.
"You just want to take it..." Han Qingxia smiled and glanced over there, "Okay then, I'll..."
"Stop talking, we agree!" Li Lin quickly agreed when she saw Han Qingxia about to sell it, "Qingxia! Sell it to us!"
Are you kidding me!
This house is worth three million on the market!
Two million is truly an easy sell!
Moreover, new houses in the city center have too many restrictions, requiring household registration and lottery wins. Han Qingxia's house is extremely sought after!
Although she didn't know why this didn't go according to their plan, the most important thing was that outsiders shouldn't get this bargain!
If she bought it for two million, she could turn around and sell it, making another million!
Buy it quickly!
Han Qingxia's lips curled slightly as she looked at the agreeing Li Lin, and she hung up the phone.
Okay, fine, I'll sell it to them.
At a price of two million, Han Qingxia was losing a bit, but it wouldn't sell that quickly in a short time.
Time is money, and she needed both time and money.
Most importantly, after she sold the house to them, they would have no money left.
She calculated that they only had two million on hand.
You know, three days before the apocalypse, the government issued a warning to stockpile supplies.
She wanted to see what they would stockpile!
————————
"Beep—Bank card credited with 2 million."
Half an hour later, at the bank counter, Han Qingxia's account had an additional two million.
Li Lin and the others looked unwilling but paid up anyway.
Manager Li from Han Qingxia's side kept calling. She was unhappy but didn't dare to say anything, fearing Han Qingxia would sell it directly to the other agent.
"The Housing Management Bureau is on holiday these days. I'll go with you to transfer the ownership after they open." Han Qingxia said to them.
"It's okay, Qingxia, aren't we reassured about you!" Li Lin smiled sweetly, her foxy eyes narrowed, looking at her, "The ownership transfer isn't urgent. We'll notify you later!"
She looked generous and trusting, but Han Qingxia knew she wasn't trusting her at all; she was guarding against her future daughter-in-law!
She was afraid her name would be written on the property deed!
Now the deed is in Han Qingxia's name, so she can still make excuses!
Han Qingxia's smile deepened when she heard this.
This is truly excellent.
At this moment, Han Ying said, "Han Qingxia, since our family bought the house, hurry up and get out! Throw away all your garbage and junk! I can't stand a single piece of it! I'm picking up my wife later to buy new furniture!"
Seeing that their family had spent money, his face immediately changed.
"Yingzi, where can you make your sister move to in such a short time? Let her stay for a few more days. She's so sensible, she'll definitely give you some storage fees and even replace some furniture for you. You're the brother, you should be more accommodating."
"Mom! Why are you still feeling sorry for her! With that money-grubbing face of hers, does she deserve it! Hurry up and get out! Oh, and that diseased dog in your room! Take it away quickly. If I see it when I come back, I'll slaughter it and eat it!"
Diseased dog—
Han Qingxia, who was about to deal with this group of people, suddenly shivered.
Dog—
Her Summer was still alive!
She no longer wasted a second dealing with these people and immediately ran back to her own home.
As soon as she opened the bedroom door, a German Shepherd, who had been pacing back and forth in the room but was too quiet to make a sound, jumped into her arms.
"Woof woof!"
"Summer!"
When Han Qingxia hugged Summer, she was so excited she was about to cry.
Her Summer was still alive!
Summer was a retired military dog, a gift from her mother on her tenth birthday. It was very intelligent. After her mother passed away, it was Summer who stayed with her through the most difficult time.
Her stepmother's family didn't like it. They tried to abandon it several times, but Summer would always run back on its own.
Later, they even wanted to give it away. Han Qingxia was determined to protect it and fell out with everyone several times. Li Lin kept it for the sake of her stepmother's good reputation, but it was always kept in Han Qingxia's room.
It was only after Han Qingxia moved back into the house her mother left her during this time that Summer had more space to move around.
But similarly, as soon as Han Ying and the others came, it was locked up again.
Not long after the apocalypse came in her previous life, because Summer was also old, Han Ying's family ate it while she was out looking for food!
Han Qingxia had always blamed herself for not being able to protect it.
"Summer."
"Woof woof!"
Summer licked Han Qingxia's hand.
"Summer, don't worry, in this life, I will never let you get hurt again!"
"Woof woof woof!" Summer barked, showing great intelligence.
After settling Summer, Han Qingxia began to pack her things.
This house had been rented out for many years and was very old, but the tables and chairs were bought by her mother during her lifetime. They were very expensive when she bought them. When her mother was alive, she always lived here with her.
The items weren't particularly useful, but they were full of memories. Han Qingxia's eyes held a hint of reluctance as she returned here.
Just then, a voice sounded in her mind.
"Ding—Super Lord System activated!"
"Within one hour, for every item carried with a value exceeding one thousand yuan, one cubic meter of space will be rewarded!"
Han Qingxia was startled. Her golden finger had arrived!
"Countdown, fifty-nine minutes and fifty-nine seconds!"
Han Qingxia felt the words in her mind in disbelief. She casually picked up her phone from the table and tried it.
"Beep—Phone detected, value 4999! Reward four cubic meters!"
A four-cubic-meter empty space really appeared in Han Qingxia's mind.
And the phone in her hand disappeared in the blink of an eye, appearing in that empty space in her mind.
Space!
It's here!
