Seeing that all the refugees were running towards the back of the convoy, Lian Rongrong immediately told Lian Yicheng to drive away.

Wen Hui realized she had missed her chance. She glared fiercely at Qi Yuan at the back of the convoy.

"What a meddlesome fellow." Wen Hui pulled the tent shut with annoyance, her anger truly burning inside.

If Qi Yuan hadn't suddenly thrown the grain off the back of the cart, the refugees would have definitely attacked Lian Rongrong.

Even with Lian Yicheng protecting her, Lian Rongrong could never have escaped unscathed.

Wen Hui knew the Lian family all too well; they were all overly kind-hearted people who cared deeply for the common people. This group would never actually harm the people.

It was originally an unsolvable situation, but Qi Yuan just had to cause trouble.

Thanks to Qi Yuan's handling of the situation, the caravan was able to leave smoothly. However, when they finally arrived at a safe place, they discovered that neither Qi Yuan nor the last donkey cart had followed.

"Chen Si, isn't Qi Yuan with you?" Recalling the scene just now, Lian Rongrong couldn't help but worry about Qi Yuan.

Chen Si shook his head and replied, "Miss, it was too chaotic just now. The disaster victims were all gathered at the back, and it was only with great difficulty that I managed to get out."

Qi Yuan's car is probably surrounded by refugees. I wonder how he is doing?

"What's wrong with him? I think that guy is really cunning." Wen Hui said as she walked towards Lian Rongrong, picking up where Chen Si left off.

"Third Sister, are you and Fu Bao alright?" Wen Hui put on her usual caring sister-in-law act. But Lian Rongrong didn't appreciate it.

If Wen Hui hadn't shouted that when the accident happened, Lian Rongrong wouldn't have reacted yet.

But when Wen Hui pretended to be a good person and told the young people to stop making trouble, Lian Rongrong knew that this must be a scheme by Wen Hui.

The old woman collapsed next to Wen Hui's car; clearly, the young man had asked Wen Hui for help first.

After that, how did the young man find his car so accurately, and know that the woman inside was a prostitute even before he saw her?

Furthermore, Wen Hui's seemingly calming shout was actually the final push that fueled the fire.

Even though Rongrong knew about this, there was no evidence to support it. Besides, her mother's affection for Wenhui wasn't something that developed overnight.

If things really escalate into a public falling out, it will likely cause a lot of trouble later. But Rongrong won't swallow this bitter pill.

Lian Rongrong suddenly moved closer to Wen Hui, the distance between them was only an inch. Lian Rongrong slightly curled the corner of her mouth, and a look of contempt flashed in her eyes.

"My second sister-in-law said Qi Yuan is very cunning, but I think he's nothing compared to her."

After all, if it weren't for my second sister-in-law's shouting, things probably wouldn't have escalated to this extent.

Oh, by the way, Second Sister-in-law, if the refugees steal my car, do you think the vehicles following behind will be spared?

Sometimes, it's best to think things through before acting; after all, it's wise to avoid doing things that harm others without benefiting yourself.

Wen Hui's expression changed immediately upon hearing this, but just as she was about to lash out, she heard Lian Rongrong say:

"Second sister-in-law, are you going to make a scene? I haven't even started arguing, what are you trying to do?"

Wen Hui was stunned. For the first time, she understood what Wang Yue meant when she said that Lian Rong had changed. She had become clever and unforgiving.

But Wen Hui was not Wang Yue after all. She knew that Lian Rongrong did not want to break off relations with her at the moment, so she shamelessly pretended not to understand what Lian Rongrong was saying.

Wen Hui then adopted her usual familiar and affectionate demeanor, grabbing Lian Rongrong's arm and saying with a grin:

"Is that what you're saying, little sister? Could it be that you've misunderstood your second sister-in-law? We're family."

What's there for me to make a fuss about? Even if my younger sister made a mistake and left a whole truckload of supplies in the hands of a stranger, resulting in their loss, my sister-in-law would never say a word against it.

I just feel that Qi Yuan had ulterior motives. He deliberately stole the food from the cart because of the refugees. What was his purpose?

They were definitely trying to take advantage of the chaos to steal our car and belongings. See, that guy's vanished without a trace now!

Lian Rongrong impatiently pulled her arm away. In her opinion, Wang Yue was annoying, but Wen Hui was even more annoying.

At least everyone can see how annoying Wang Yue is, but Wen Hui, this green tea bitch, is someone you can't swallow but can't spit out.

"Second sister-in-law, why do you think Qi Yuan threw out the grain? If it weren't for him today, do you think we could have escaped unscathed?"

He's going to take a truckload of supplies? Let me tell you the truth, that truckload of supplies was exactly what I intended to leave for him.

"What did you say? You want to leave that truckload of supplies to him?" Before Wen Hui could speak, Wang Yue jumped out.

After only two days of peace, Wang Yue, at Wen Hui's urging, started getting restless again.

"Lian Rong, why did you give a truckload of supplies to an outsider? Did you fall for that random guy?"

"Wang Yue, are you out of your mind?! Are you yelling at me over a carload of things that have already been stolen?"

Have you forgotten who found all this stuff? You better shut up, or I won't hesitate to beat you up.

Lian Rongrong pointed at Wang Yue angrily, exuding an unprecedented domineering aura.

This scene was witnessed by Qi Yuan, who arrived from behind.

"Wow, it's quite lively here!" Qi Yuan's voice startled Wang Yue.

Seeing Qi Yuan walking towards them step by step, Wang Yue immediately hid behind Wen Hui.

"You dare come back? Where are our things?" Although Wang Yue was afraid, she didn't hold back her words.

But Qi Yuan simply smiled, spread his hands, and answered without any hesitation:

"Didn't you see? Everything's gone. Even the donkey cart was stolen."

"You're the one who destroyed the things, you have to pay for them!" Wang Yue showed half of her body, but her hands remained tightly gripping Wen Hui.

Wen Hui also loathed Wang Yue, but what could she do when this fool loved to go against Lian Rongrong?

Qi Yuan shook his head disdainfully, then turned to Lian Rongrong and said, "I heard from Miss that the cartload of things was originally intended for me?"

Lian Rongrong nodded, "Yes!"

"Why?" Qi Yuan pressed.

"Because you helped us in the dilapidated temple in the village, and after we separated in Kunshan, it would be very difficult for you to live alone without a cart or a beam."

You're not a bad person. Since we've helped each other, let's finish the favor.

Unbeknownst to him, Qi Yuan's cold eyes softened slightly. He smiled faintly and asked Lian Rongrong:

"But right now, I've lost both the cart and the grain. Miss, you're not angry with me?"

"How can I blame you? I'm too grateful to the young master for saving me. I know it was just a matter of cutting my losses to survive."

Don't worry, when we part ways, I will still send a truckload of supplies as a token of my gratitude.

"You..." Qi Yuan hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"What's wrong with me?" Lian Rongrong asked, puzzled.

"Nothing? I just wanted to ask, now that my car is gone, which one should I take?"

"Give me back your car? How can you be so shameless?" Wang Yue was furious when she heard Qi Yuan's words.

But when Qi Yuan glared at her, she immediately cowered.

Even Rongrong couldn't be bothered with Wang Yue, that idiot. She beckoned Chen Si over and gave him instructions:

"Chen Si, go to Xiao Liu's car. That way you can rest a little longer."

"Miss Xie." Chen Si responded and tactfully handed the donkey cart to Qi Yuan.

"So, you gave me this car?" Qi Yuan asked.

Lian Rongrong nodded, "Yes, here you go, along with all the supplies inside."

"Lian Rongrong, are you sick in the head?! Qi Yuan, have you no shame?"

Amid Wang Yue's commotion, Qi Yuan and Lian Rongrong each got into their respective cars.

Qi Yuan sat on the donkey cart, looking at Lian Rongrong's slender back, a slight smile on his lips, thinking to himself: You... are really special!
