Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 240 - : Everyone Has a Bottom Line

Chapter 240 -240: Everyone Has a Bottom Line

Mo Xiaoqian was about to say something else but suddenly didn’t know how to continue. Cheng Yang was really nothing to brag about. Why fight for such a soft-spoken man? With that time, better to find someone reliable to lean on.

Thus, Mo Xiaoqian finally left.

Watching Mo Xiaoqian leave, Gu Pan looked at Cheng Yang and laughed, “I didn’t expect your love life to be so flourishing.”

Cheng Yang hurriedly waved his hands, “Sis, you can’t say that, I don’t have any romantic affairs, I only have Lanlan.”

Gu Pan burst into laughter, “You really know how to make your girlfriend happy.”

During their conversation, Lu Ruisheng returned with Lu Jianguo, parking the motorcycle at Cheng Yang’s house.

Cheng Yang and Fang Lanlan quickly greeted Lu Jianguo as the Base Commander.

Lu Jianguo smiled amiably, “No need to be so formal. We will be seeing each other often. You are all Shengsheng’s friends; calling me Uncle Lu is fine.”

Cheng Yang and Fang Lanlan changed to calling him Uncle Lu, since Lu Jianguo was a bit older than their fathers.

After the greetings, Gu Pan and the others headed home, dismissing the incident with Mo Xiaoqian as not worth mentioning.

Once home, Lu Ruisheng excitedly took Lu Jianguo to the kitchen, “Dad, thinking Second Uncle might visit, we caught a wild boar yesterday. We kept a whole leg, just in case Second Uncle came, so we could have meat every day.”

Gu Pan followed her husband, finding him incredibly adorable. He probably cherished family so much because he had longed for it; he truly treasured this affection. Whenever he was around Lu Jianguo, he resembled a child, and his father’s encouraging teaching style was something Gu Pan deeply admired.

Lu Jianguo also doted on Lu Ruisheng, praising as he watched, “You two are both capable and filial. Your Second Uncle will be moved to tears.”

Lu Ruisheng was particularly proud, “We will take good care of Second Uncle in the future.”

Lu Jianguo laughed heartily, “Panpan, your cooking smells delicious.”

Gu Pan quickly handed over a bowl and chopsticks, “Dad, try this and check the seasoning.”

Lu Jianguo did not hold back; he took some and tasted it, praising repeatedly, “Delicious, it’s really too delicious. You’re spoiling me. You don’t know, at our office, people constantly peek through the door; if you ever come, they’ll surely ask me if there’s something tasty.”

Gu Pan smiled and said, “If we make extra in the future, we’ll bring some for you.”

“Don’t bother, all these you’ve risked your lives for. You’ve dried them, so keep them stored. With this weather, we never know when we might not have meat again. Keep some reserved for tough times,” Lu Jianguo cared a lot about the two children.

He didn’t know about Gu Pan’s Space, so his concern was natural.

Gu Pan quickly responded, “Got it, Dad. Don’t worry, we’ve stored plenty outside.”

Lu Jianguo nodded, “It’s good to hide some outside, just in case.”

Lu Ruisheng said, “Dad, we want to dig an underground shelter, but heard the base is building an Underground City, can we still dig?”

Lu Jianguo replied, “You can dig. The Underground City is deep and won’t be affected.” He added, “Digging a shelter is a good idea.”

Gu Pan looked at the time, “Dinner is ready, I’ll stir-fry some greens, let’s eat and talk.”

Lu Jianguo suggested, “Come to my place tomorrow night. I’ll cook for you, though it might not be as tasty as what Panpan makes.”

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng naturally didn’t decline and agreed immediately.

Then Lu Ruisheng cut the meat, Gu Pan stir-fried, and Lu Jianguo brought out the rice, swiftly settling down to eat.

The table was filled with laughter, making Lu Jianguo exceptionally happy.

Of course, they also discussed if Second Uncle visited, they wanted to go to the main headquarters with him.

Lu Jianguo knew his children were capable and should see more of the world, but he was reluctant, “Maybe I should retire early and go with you.”

Lu Ruisheng quickly waved his hands, “No, no, Dad, don’t do that, besides, we are not leaving for good. We just want to see the situation there, get to know more, then do something to annoy the old lady, but we will return.”

Gu Pan added, “Right, our relatives and friends are here, we promise we’ll come back.”

Reassured, Lu Jianguo finally smiled, “Then follow the army, that’ll ensure your safety.”

Lu Ruisheng and Gu Pan both agreed, promising to be careful.

After dinner, while sitting around chatting, they also mentioned Zhang Huishu.

Lu Jianguo had inquired, and Zhang Huishu had found a man who worked in a research institute. The man’s wife and child had died, so now they teamed up to live together.

Of course, that was not how they presented it to the outside world; they were ‘neighbors’ living across the halls.

Gu Pan admired Zhang Huishu in some ways; she could truly make men willing to spend money on her, even supporting her good-for-nothing son. She really was skilled.

Nevertheless, these were trivial matters they didn’t care about. When Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng went to the main headquarters, they would definitely entice Lu Ruiming to come along, and let that step-grandmother get a good look at her precious grandson. Why isn’t he blood-related?

Everyone was adapting to the extreme daytime weather now. Inside the base was better, but outside the base was much harder.

Outside, without the base’s planning and organization, many people struggled to acquire vegetables and fruits for vitamins, and their health deteriorated.

Thus, outside wars became more severe, involving fighting, territory disputes, and looting, all becoming the norm.

Gu Pan was aware of these issues; she didn’t participate in this life but wasn’t ignorant, yet she couldn’t change much.

Thinking ahead, in a few months, she really didn’t know what would happen.

The next day, as Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng visited the department store, they saw many military vehicles entering, continuously heading towards the rear military base.

The base had a dedicated military courtyard that outsiders couldn’t enter, secluded and confidential.

They didn’t know if Second Uncle had arrived but couldn’t follow; following could easily get them arrested, so they quickly returned home to wait. If Second Uncle arrived, Lu Jianguo would naturally bring him over first.

When they got home, Gu Pan took out some canned goods, drinks, freeze-dried fruits, and vegetables from the Space; as these were essential nutritional supplies but hardly available now. Naturally, they wanted to use the best items to welcome Second Uncle.

Then, they displayed these snacks in the living room’s snack cabinet—it was Gu Pan’s favorite.

In the afternoon, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were at home watching “The Legend of Martial Arts” on the tablet when they heard Lu Jianguo’s voice from outside, “Shengsheng, Panpan, Second Uncle is here.”

The two quickly shut off the tablet and rushed out to greet him.

In the courtyard, they saw a middle-aged man in military attire, resembling Lu Jianguo but younger. Spotting Lu Ruisheng, he fixed his gaze on him, eyes reddening.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng approached warmly, greeting, “Second Uncle.”
