Chapter 114: What can you do?

Shangguan Qiao Yun saw that Xiao Qiang did not actually pounce on her the moment he laid eyes on her, unlike other men, and she was immediately surprised. In her eyes, all men would pounce on her, and they weren’t different. There would always be shock first, followed by desire. Those that were slightly more civilized would at least talk about life and philosophy first, but they would not be able to conceal that feeling of lust towards her.

Instead, Zhang Xiao Qiang’s expression was strange to her. There was no desire, nor the disgust that gay men had towards her. Instead, she had seen that look of appreciation for her beauty, but it was quickly replaced by a guarded look. What was he guarding against? She was just a little woman seeking to live in this cruel world and was just trying to make use of her abilities and capital to help fight for space and food, a man who could protect her. She even hoped that she could find a man who would take her away from this place, to the place she wanted to go.

Of course, she couldn’t understand, Zhang Xiao Qiang was really attracted to her at first sight, but he was, after all, a petty person. He had not awakened any desire to control the world, to indulge in wine and to enjoy pleasures with women. To him, as long as he could live on, no matter how sneakily or stealthily, finding some women he could live with and having some kids was more than enough. His aim wasn’t high. He also did not feel like he was some hero out to save the world.

“What can you do? What skills do you know?” Zhang Xiao Qiang continued to focus on her forehead as he spoke while thinking how to chase her away. He could not accommodate this devilish woman. He did not even know her background, and to him, they weren’t people meant to be on the same path.

When she heard the question, Shangguan Qiao Yun froze on the spot. Other than a woman’s body, what else could a man want? Wasn’t her body enough as capital? Wasn’t she beautiful enough? Wasn’t her body enticing enough?

Ever since she recognized that her body was her greatest asset, Shangguan Qiao Yun had never really focused on studying. Instead, she went on to learn how to truly seduce a man.

She practiced posturing at home, even her stride, her ankles swollen from the constant usage of high heels. She practiced all sorts of social etiquette, and while her family background wasn’t that good, she managed to procure the resources through various channels. She controlled her expressions through the mirror, giving herself all types of smiles, to the point her cheeks would swell and she couldn’t eat.

She even took cold icy showers in the coldest of winter days, to feel the biting cold all the way to her bones, allowing her skin to be doused in that freezing water. Her teeth had chattered so hard that she felt creeped out. The cold water was like a sharp knife that sliced her skin, and it was all because she had no money for maintenance of her features. She went to practice dance moves as well, enduring the face of the dance teacher, who had suffered from bad acne. She had swallowed her disgust and gone ahead, just to save a bit of money.

All of this was for? The simple reason for making her life better. Living a more lavish life, it wasn’t for pride or honor, and it wasn’t even for the reason of moving up in life to become a socialite. She was a woman of principle, to her, status didn’t mean much, it was not like she had not endured worse days.

She just wanted her mother to lead a better life.

Her mother had scrimped and saved just so she could put better food into Shangguan Qiao Yun’s mouth all the way till she graduated.

Her mother could not bear to change her clothing, washing them out just so she could doll her daughter up.

Her mother who had helped to fan the mosquitoes away from her sleeping daughter all the way till midnight.

She had a great mother, but a bad father. She remembered vividly that her mother used to be extremely beautiful, even more so than those fairies in paintings. However, for some reason, her mother had slowly grown old and haggard, while her drunkard father only knew how to beat his wife. Didn’t her mother already suffer enough? For the sake of the family, her mother had done so much and aged even more so than her peers.

Seeing her mother’s condition, it was like a hot knife through Shangguan Qiao Yun’s heart. As she grew older, she knew more and strived to do her best. She was always in the top 3 in school, her performance exemplary, and she just wanted to make her mother proud. Until that one night, when her father had come into her room with heavy breaths, his eyes bloodshot as he climbed into her bed. She was frightened then, and her father had started to tear her clothes.

The woman who had usually been so meek and careful in front of her drunkard husband, and was usually beaten without a sound of complaint, had suddenly transformed. She had rushed into the room, charging over like an enraged lioness smashing a chair onto that beast of her father. How was an aging woman a match for the man though? Her father had then retaliated and pummeled her mother till she was bleeding, and just when he turned around and intended to continue with the rape, her mother had rushed out the door in a frenzy and screamed at the top of her lungs. Just like that, the man who had called himself her father was sent to jail. At that time, she was only 13.

She was unable to forget that night, and never forgot how hurt her mother got in protecting her. When she reached high school, she discovered that her male schoolmates would always send her love letters, inviting her out on dates, while the male teachers would disregard the age difference and took the initiative to guide her. All their eyes were only on her buttons though, while her fellow female school mates would eye her with jealousy. She had understood then, she knew what to do for a better life for her mother.

She managed it then, the son of the wealthiest man in J City had been seduced by her, the well-known playboy had been completely smitten. She got married to him and managed to control him tightly, forcing his attention and energy on herself. Even her mother had been moved to the lavish villa, with specialist doctors looking after her. There was a maid to help her clean anything. She had thought that life was going good, and everything was about to become better when the virus suddenly struck.

The days of the apocalypse caused her to be displaced, and she had relied on her assets to completely control those men. When she saw those men charging into the groups of zombies for her, she would feel extremely satisfied. Even in the apocalypse, she could live on so well. She had her body, while the men around her just wanted to fuck her. However, she had easily kept them at bay, yet constantly keeping them close. The men had even fought amongst themselves just for a look of appreciation from her. She had felt like a goddess, and men were slaves to be stepped on beneath her feet.

It was until she met Brother Long that her thoughts changed and she finally realized how cruel the world could be. His overbearingness, his cruelty, and merciless heart. She had been extremely confident in her looks and felt that she could be one of the top 3 beauties in J City, even among hundreds of thousands of people. Yet when she laid eyes on the pair of twins, she had truly felt envy and jealousy. They were so much more beautiful than her, and when they stood side by side, it was a powerful combination, forcefully suppressing the aura and charm she had painstakingly trained.

When they were fed to the zombies, she had also been forced to witness the depravity of the situation. As she watched the pair of sisters who were more youthful than her, more radiant than her, being torn to pieces, she had felt extremely suffocated, and did not dare harbor thoughts of conquering Brother Long. There was only fear.

Brother Long was indifferent towards them. It wasn’t that many times that he wanted them, even for her. He had sex with her once and then basically ignored her. Brother Long preferred to step over them, forcing them to eat like dogs on the floor, setting them on each other, or even watching them fuck one another.

She had thought that he was an ambitious character who saw the mountain and not women until she discovered his secret. Brother Long would carry a tray of food up to the roof each time, and it was forbidden for the women to go there. Once, he had forgotten to lock the door, and Shangguan Qiao Yun’s motto had been ‘to conquer him, you must know him.’

With such a thought, she had secretly sneaked upstairs, noting a small house on the patio. The door was locked shut, and when she peered into the window, she got the shock of her life.

The interior of the house was extremely simple, with a bed and a chair to fill up space. A young handsome boy was sleeping, clutching his pillow. He was not sleeping tightly though, as there were various signs of abuse on his legs. When she realized the identity of the boy, she had backed up in horror with her hand over her mouth. Brother Long was a depraved pervert!

Ever since then, she had lived on the edge, until this time, when Brother Long wanted to send her to Zhang Xiao Qiang. She knew her chance had come, and she had tried her best to hook Zhang Xiao Qiang in, to the extent that it was a performance that would put most hookers to shame. She wanted to get away from Brother Long, the further the better. Hence, she had to grab this chance. Zhang Xiao Qiang was a man, as long as he was a man, she would have the means to conquer him. Which man didn’t love sex?

Only when she was in front of him, did she realize that he was immune. When he asked her that question, she had stared blankly. Ever since graduating from high school, she had only known to seduce men. What else did she know? Her emotions were in a mess right now. Her past hardships, and torment she had to suffer, just to trap men, and till date, she had met men that were actually immune to her charms. Brother Long was one, Zhang Xiao Qiang was also like that.

She did not know how to answer, and Zhang Xiao Qiang felt that her expression was slightly amusing. So it seemed that this top grade beauty was just a pretty embroidered pillow, but her insides were fluff. Had he actually not dared to raise his head in front of such bimbos in the past?

“I know how to wash clothes, cook, and I, I, I know how to service men!!” Shangguan Qiao Yun thought to her days spent with her mom while studying and reckoned that she had indeed picked up some skills. Now that she spoke her mind, she did not know what he was thinking, and to her, men who did not fall for her charm like Zhang Xiao Qiang scared her.
