Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Everyone sat around on the sofa.

Mei sat next to Jiang Ming.

At this time, Ji Zi spoke.

"Defendant Jiang Ming, do you have anything else to say? You can remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court."

"..."

What is going on with this court interrogation scene!!!

Just in the previous chapter, Kiana saw that Sakura and Rin had a very good relationship with Jiang Ming and even brought him home, so she thought there must be some unspeakable secret between them, so she hurriedly called Mei over.

[You see, as long as you don't stay with him, he will go out to find other women. You should really cut off his legs as I said so that he will stay with you forever.]

Mei: "......"

"Snapped!"

Kiana slammed her hands on the table, causing it to shake. Jiang Ming looked at her in confusion. What did this little girl want to do?

"Jiang Ming, you must explain to me what happened. Why did you bring back two lovely girls when you were clearly on a mission?"

Kiana began to question.

Jiang Ming couldn't help but feel a headache. What's wrong with you? Even if something really happened, shouldn't Meiyi be the one who's angry? Why do you seem to be more anxious than Meiyi?

Jiang Ming had no idea what Kiana was thinking. Kiana just wondered why Jiang Ming could go out to do missions instead of staying at home to memorize difficult history, and he could also bring back two lovely girls while doing the missions, but she couldn't do that.

Jiang Ming swallowed his saliva when he saw Mei putting her hands on his and staring at him as if asking where he had kidnapped such a beautiful girl. If he couldn't explain it clearly, he would probably be chopped into pieces like Jiang Ming sauce. As for how to explain it, Jiang Ming decided to use the wording he had thought of before.

"Ahem, Sakura and Rin are my friends who I rescued when I was on a mission in Changkong City. Since Sakura is also adaptable to Houkai energy, I applied to keep her in Saint Freya Academy, and Rin stayed here for treatment."

Then Jiang Ming looked at Ji Zi, hoping she could help testify.

"Well, Jiang Ming is right. Theresa and I can testify to that, and they will also stay here."

Then Ji Zi changed her tone and began to tease Jiang Ming.

"Haha, Jiang Ming, you have to comfort your girlfriend now."

Mei was relieved at first after hearing Ji Zi's proof, but when she heard what she said to Jiang Ming, her fair face suddenly blushed again.

But Mei quickly adjusted herself and looked at Sakura.

"Ms. Sakura... Really? Nice to meet you."

The gentle tone of voice fully reveals Mei's Yamato Nadeshiko temperament.

"Hello, Miss Raiden Mei, my name is Yae Sakura, a shrine maiden. The person next to me is my sister, Yae Rin. I came to Nagazar City with the blessing of Ming to settle here and treat my sister's illness."

Yaesakura was not to be outdone, and her proper posture and polite greetings were fully demonstrated in her performance.

The two seemed to be arguing about something, yet also seemed to be arguing about nothing.

"No need to be so polite, just call me Meiyi. Thank you Miss Ying for taking care of Ming in the past few days."

Mei said with a smile, and the smile on her face made Jiang Ming a little dazed.

But he always felt that Mei had something else in her words.

It's like Mei knows that Jiang Ming has been in Yae Village for a few years, and thanks Ying for taking care of Jiang Ming, so now she's leaving it to her...

"Haha, no, it was Ming who saved me and my sister. I want to repay Ming in this life and the next."

Both of them are girls from the Far East, so they seem to have a lot of etiquette and stuff, but looking at the vague aura around them, it feels like they will start fighting at any second.

[Oh, Mingmingming, you call me so affectionately, as if they have lived together for several years]

The Herrscher of Thunder was fanning the flames.

"Huh? That means Ying isn't the... um... mistress that Jiang Ming found outside?"

"Boom!"

"Ouch!"

Kiana glared at Jiang Ming who retracted his knife.

"What are you doing!"

"Don't be so blunt. Besides, Sakura isn't that kind of person. If you say that again, don't blame me for being rude."

"Mei Mei, your boyfriend is bullying me, use your invincible henpecked husband to think of a solution."

Kiana threw herself into Mei's arms and acted coquettishly.

Ever since Mei's affectionate confession to Jiang Ming, even the silly Kiana understood that Mei really liked Jiang Ming, so she called Mei out the first time she saw Sakura and Rin.

"Eh?! Wife...henpecked husband or something...no...no such thing..."

Mei lowered her head shyly.

"Besides...I will not interfere in Ming's affairs...because I think this is...my duty as a wife (voice as soft as a mosquito)"

Seeing Mei's expression, Kiana covered her face.

"It's over. My Meiyi has really been taken away."

"What? You still want to steal my Meiyi?"

"Of course. My initial goal, besides finding that stinky old dad, was to marry Mei. If you hadn't taken the lead, stinky uncle, I would have won Mei a long time ago."

Kiana raised her head proudly.

"Okay, Kiana, stop talking..."

Mei pushed Kiana shyly, signaling her to speak less.

"Um, Brother Jiang Ming, what does boyfriend mean?"

At this time, Lin on the side suddenly asked Jiang Ming.

"Oh, boyfriend is usually the name a girl gives to a boy when they are in the passionate stage of love. It can also be the state before getting married with the lover."

"Which one is older, the one or your fiancée?"

"Um...Rin, why are you asking this?"

Jiang Ming suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Because sister is not brother Jiang Ming's fiancée?" Lin said bluntly.

Jizi: "......"

Bronya: "......"

Kiana: "..."

Mei: "......"

Herrscher of Thunder: [.......]

Quiet...very quiet.

The living room was so quiet at this moment that one could even hear Jiang Ming swallowing his saliva.

Everyone had a very rich expression on their face, from daze, to confusion, to surprise, even Bronya's expressionless face was full of gossip. Himeko felt like she had discovered some big news.

Mei clenched her hands tightly, while Sakura put her hands on her face shyly.

In the end, it was Ji Zi who asked the question first.

"Jiang Ming, what is your relationship with Ying?"

Everyone pricked up their ears as if to confirm whether they had heard it wrongly.

"..."

"Well, now that things have come to this, I won't hide it anymore."

Jiang Ming let out a long sigh.

"In fact, I have known Sakura and her family since I was a child. Later, Sakura's father saw that I was a good friend and that we were childhood sweethearts, so he took it upon himself to let Sakura marry me. I think this may have misled Rin. Now, due to the collapse of Changkong City, Sakura's family is gone, leaving only her and Rin, and Rin is ill, so I feel that I need to take some responsibility."

Jiang Ming looked serious, and there was no falsehood in his tone. And the fact was that he didn't lie much.

Mei, who was originally a little suffocated after hearing that Sakura was Jiang Ming's fiancée, was relieved after hearing Jiang Ming's explanation. But then she thought that the collapse of Changkong City was caused by herself. Although Jiang Ming kept saying that it was not Mei's fault, Mei still fell into deep self-blame.

If Ying knew the truth, would she hate herself? Would she hate herself for taking away her loved ones and now her childhood sweetheart?

Just when Mei's mood was getting a little out of control, Jiang Ming noticed that something was wrong with Mei and took her into his arms.

"Ming..."

Mei looked at her lover who was so close to her, her voice trembling a little.

"It's okay, Mei, no matter what the consequences are, I will bear them with you. Mei is my favorite person."

Jiang Ming whispered in Meiyi's ear.

The gentle words gradually broke down Mei's psychological defenses, making her cling tightly to Jiang Ming's chest.

The originally warm scene was broken again by Lin and the next sentence.

"Eh? Brother Jiang Ming likes both my sister and Meiyi at the same time? I remember father said that Brother Jiang Ming is from Shenzhou, and it is normal for him to have three wives and four concubines. So does Brother Jiang Ming want to marry both my sister and Meiyi at the same time?"

"..."

"Rin, you are not a child anymore. You need to know what you can and cannot say."

"Ah? Well, if Brother Jiang Ming wants, Lin is also fine. Even if Lin becomes a concubine, Lin is very satisfied. This is Lin's true words!"

"......Rin! Please stop using your magical powers! How can I live if you keep talking like that! "

At this time, Jiang Ming really hoped that someone could come and break the deadlock.

And just as he expected, Jiang Ming's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Oh! I have to take a call."

I took out my cell phone and saw it was Theresa.

"Theresa? Why are you looking for me at this time?"

Jiang Ming answered the phone.

"Hello? Principal Theresa, what can I do for you?"

Theresa's voice came from the phone.

"Um, Jiang Ming, the bishop wants you to go to the Tianming headquarters."

Otto? This guy came to me so soon? How long has it been? What is the speed of destiny?

"Ah? But isn't it night time now?"

"Evening? What are you talking about? It's only 3pm."

Ok?

Jiang Ming walked to the window and pulled up the curtains, and the sunlight immediately shone in.

"..."

"Why are you drawing the curtains in broad daylight?"

"Hey, this creates a nice atmosphere."

Kiana stuck out her little pink tongue.

"... Never mind. I get it. I'll be there soon."

"Well, please hurry up... Lady Theresa... Ah! Don't come over here!..."

Someone else's voice was heard on the line and then the call was hung up in a hurry.

"..."

Jiang Ming had already guessed who the person coming was.

"Haha, well, Principal Theresa wants to talk to me about something, so I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, he left Ji Zi's villa without looking back, leaving the remaining few people looking at each other in bewilderment.
