Xu Yan suddenly knelt down. Sister Na glanced at the person, then turned her head away and ignored her.
Some people only learn the ways of survival after enduring some hardships.
This is the end of the world, a world where order has collapsed.
Ling is one of the few who are willing to retain their kindness and provide a sanctuary for the survivors of the apocalypse. This courage alone is worthy of admiration.
However, this kindness needs to be managed well, so as not to be exploited by those with ulterior motives.
As for this Xu Yan, her intentions are not good. If she sincerely repents, she can be forgiven.
But if she is not sincere, it is best to eliminate her early.
Xu Yan knelt before Su Ling. Su Ling looked up at her, reaching out as if to grab Su Ling's clothes.
Upon seeing Su Ling's clean clothes, her outstretched hand froze. She sheepishly withdrew her hand.
Humans are complex contradictions, most prone to feelings of inferiority.
At this moment, Xu Yan, looking at her own disheveled state and then at Su Ling's pristine appearance, felt deeply inferior.
Along with her inferiority complex came a surge of jealousy towards Su Ling.
They were both women, so why was heaven so good to Su Ling, letting her endure all these injustices?
She was a woman of loose morals, while Su Ling was showered with adoration.
She felt that heaven was truly unfair.
If the awakened ability had been given to her, she too could have become as formidable as Su Ling.
Unfortunately, the heavenly laws were unfair, bestowing everything upon Su Ling, while she was reduced to a prisoner, available to anyone.
Did she not hate? How could she not hate? She detested Su Ling's resplendence.
Xu Yan knew herself well. She dared not touch Su Ling. She looked up at her and said, "I am well aware that staying here is a far better destination and choice for me than being sent back to the prison area."
"My inciting them to resist earlier, and my actions of not staying in the apartment building, were irrational acts stemming from my clouded judgment. I will not defend or deny my mistakes; I admit I was somewhat unable to grasp the situation. But I see it clearly now. I want to stay, I desperately want to stay. I beg you to give me a chance to reform."
Xu Yan's words were not from the heart but were spoken to stay, to make Su Ling believe her.
Su Ling looked at Xu Yan kneeling before her, listening to her words. She leaned down slightly, looking down at her from above.
Xu Yan's words might deceive others, but trying to deceive her was truly an act of self-humiliation.
Seeing Su Ling remain silent, Xu Yan became anxious. She caught a glimpse of Shang Qi and others approaching and forced tears from her eyes, her voice choked with sorrow, "I beg you, give me a chance to reform. I truly know I was wrong."
As she spoke, Xu Yan deliberately shuffled forward, making her pitiable state even more apparent.
Meanwhile, Su Ling stood motionless, allowing Xu Yan to kneel before her and use her as a stepping stone for pity.
She had kindly taken people in, providing a sanctuary in the apocalypse, yet some people never knew how to cherish such hard-won opportunities.
Shang Qi, Gu Shangse, and others arrived before Su Ling. Shang Qi automatically stood by Su Ling's side.
Upon the arrival of Shang Qi and the other men, Xu Yan began to weep profusely, her face streaming with tears.
Looking at her, one would think Su Ling had bullied her.
It could be said that Xu Yan's cleverness backfired. This was Su Ling's territory, and her performance here was like showing off before Guan Gong, a self-inflicted humiliation.
Initially, Xu Yan's crying was fake, but as she became engrossed in it, she grew truly heartbroken.
Perhaps, as she cried, she recalled her own painful experiences, and tears began to fall in large drops.
Xu Yan's eyes were blurred with tears. She sobbed and looked at Su Ling, "I will kowtow to you. I only beg you to give me another chance to reform, please?"
