Chapter 672: Chapter 274: The Unyielding Zhuang Shuyuan_2
However, Liang Yuan didn’t show any emotion, making her proud heart feel somewhat dissatisfied.
She quickly walked up to Liang Yuan and smiled, saying, "Why does Mr. Liang want to leave as soon as he sees me?"
Liang Yuan said indifferently, "I was going to leave anyway, it has nothing to do with you. Do you need something?"
Zhuang Shuyuan’s beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she smiled, "Indeed, I have something to discuss. Now that we have regained our freedom, I am really grateful to you for not holding our past mistakes against us, and I wanted to thank you personally."
Liang Yuan said, "I am a person who clearly distinguishes between right and wrong. Since Wu Meng has left, I won’t pursue those from the Martial King Pavilion. You don’t need to specially thank me. Serving for a month is already punishment enough."
He continued to walk out, and Zhuang Shuyuan, feeling aggrieved, quickened her pace to follow, saying, "Mr. Liang, you are truly magnanimous. By the way, I have another matter I need your help with."
Liang Yuan paused slightly, turned to look at her, and said, "What is it?"
"Well... uh, I want to rent a shop in the shopping center to open a store with my two sisters."
Zhuang Shuyuan, having no other topic, suddenly had a lightbulb moment and quickly mentioned this matter.
Liang Yuan said indifferently, "For matters regarding the shopping center, you should go to Yang Mei."
Zhuang Shuyuan bit her lips, feeling that Liang Yuan was deliberately avoiding her and seemed impervious to reason.
She couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Liang, don’t you want to ask what kind of store I want to open?"
Liang Yuan laughed, "What does the type of store you open have to do with me?"
"Um, Mr. Liang, do you seem to dislike me a bit?" Zhuang Shuyuan couldn’t help but ask.
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "Just a little."
"Ah? No, why? How did I offend you, Mr. Liang?" Zhuang Shuyuan’s face changed slightly, and she quickly asked.
Liang Yuan said indifferently, "I heard that when Tu Long invited the three major shelters to deal with me, Wu Meng’s intention was not to destroy the Fire Bamboo Forest but rather to make me submit, right?"
Zhuang Shuyuan’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately said, "Was it Li Yuejin who told you that? Mr. Liang, please don’t believe him."
"At that time, I was also deceived by Tu Long, and Li Yuejin supported me then."
Liang Yuan glanced at her with deep eyes and said, "Wu Meng is gone, and I took in you people from the Martial King Pavilion, but that doesn’t mean I have no temper."
"I am not a large-hearted person, so I really don’t have any good feelings towards you. Don’t hover around me, alright?"
Zhuang Shuyuan’s face suddenly turned pale, and she staggered back a step.
Liang Yuan turned around and left the plantation without any hesitation.
Zhuang Shuyuan watched Liang Yuan’s back, biting her red lips. For a moment, shame and embarrassment flashed across her face.
It was the first time she had humbled herself before a man, yet she hadn’t expected to be looked down upon like this.
A nameless rage surged in her heart, but she immediately suppressed it, and her clenched delicate fist quietly loosened.
"I don’t believe that with so many men unable to resist my beauty, I can’t make you look at me differently!"
Zhuang Shuyuan whispered to herself, her gaze fixed on Liang Yuan’s back.
After leaving the plantation, Liang Yuan returned home.
Granny Li’s situation had reminded him that with the weather turning colder, people are most susceptible to getting ill during seasonal changes.
The construction of the Sunshine District had to be accelerated, and simultaneously, it was necessary to consider that both people and livestock could fall ill.
But fortunately, those livestock were mutant creatures and not easily infected.
In the afternoon, Song Wen returned with a slight look of dejection on her face.
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong? Was that bean plant a mutant plant?"
Song Wen shook her head slightly, "No, it was just an ordinary soap bean, which is toxic and inedible. They misidentified it."
Liang Yuan comforted, "It’s okay. Soybean plants are common in many places. There might be mutant species in the mountains; we can search there again. If that doesn’t work, we can look in Meishan."
Song Wen nodded and said, "I’m just a bit anxious. The cold wave is coming, and we still haven’t found crops to replace rice and wheat as staple foods. We can’t keep relying on the stored grain in your space."
Hearing this, Liang Yuan smiled inwardly. He didn’t mind much since the system’s lottery for these ordinary materials was cheap, with 100 Points drawing tons of it.
After comforting her a bit more, Song Wen’s mood indeed improved a lot.
During dinner, Ding Yan also returned. When she heard about Granny Li awakening, she was both surprised and overjoyed.
She immediately said she would visit Granny Li after dinner.
She then talked about the day’s patrol and mountain search, and as Liang Yuan listened, he gained a thorough understanding of the patrol team’s situation and became very familiar with the situation in Yangshan.
It seemed that Yangshan didn’t have any mutant creatures that could threaten the shelter.
He could start preparing to go to Meishan.
"By the way, where did Tu Long go? Haven’t seen him for a few days," Ding Yan asked.
She was still distrustful of Tu Long and habitually guarded against him.
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I sent him to the surrounding buildings to search and rescue survivors. Yangshan is so large; we need to absorb more survivors to grow the shelter."
The girls all understood Liang Yuan’s plan. When the cold wave came and the water surface froze, many survivors would surely emerge from the buildings.
At that time, Yangshan would be very dangerous without adequate military force.
So, they had to expand their power quickly during this period.
"This guy doesn’t seem reliable. Do you really trust him that much?"
