DOOMSDAY ECSTASY CAVE (316)
316. UNLUCKY
This idea coincided with Jiang Qingyu's. The dead were already dead, but the living were still alive. A woman who was not valued, and some tangible benefits that can be grasped, there should be no one in the last days who would not choose the benefits that were already in their hands.
But... Chen Yi miscalculated what Lei Yi actually cared about. The corners of Lei Yi's lips tugged indifferently, "Then what is Miss Chen's idea?"
Chen Yi was very satisfied with Lei Yi's tactfulness, "If you have any ideas, feel free to mention them to the Wu family. For the sake of my face, the Wu family will definitely not play tricks." She also glanced at the Wu family as she spoke.

"We won't dare! Won't dare!" The Wu family said hastily.
For the sake of her face? On the surface, Chen Yi was obviously making the Wu family look at her face and not deny it, but indirectly, she was hinting at Lei Yi to look at her face and not go too far. After all... the national crisis was approaching, and the most important thing was to jointly resist the sea beasts.
"Okay." Lei Yi replied in a deep voice.
Chen Yi smiled, and stretched out her hand and tapped the table, "Then I'll thank Mr. Lei here first for giving Chen(Yi) this face." After that, she stood up, "You guys continue, I won't disturb any further." Saying that, she walked out, then suddenly, as if she thought of something, "Oh yes, since this matter is resolved, then return Yuanyuan's ability, the little girl is so pitiful."
Looking at her attitude, it seemed as if the ability was just a trivial thing that was not worth mentioning. Just like how... it was not worth mentioning Chu Youning.
Chen Yi turned to look at Gu Dong and Jiang Qingyu as she walked, nonchalantly waiting for their reply. But found that the scene fell into silence for a moment, and even the others subconsciously slowed down their breathing.
Chen Yi's eyes flickered slightly, she stopped slowly, and her voice was not as pleasant as it was just a moment ago, "What's the matter?" She asked in a deep voice.
Everyone silently looked at Chu Youning, but Chu Youning was still smiling and turning the pen in her hand. Yes, except for that snicker, Chu Youning had a coquettish smile from the beginning to the end.
Chu Youning didn't speak, nor did she look at Chen Yi, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, and she was just a spectator.
Chen Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, and a dangerous light flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, Lei Yi said, "Since Sister Chen mentioned this, then I also can't help but sell this face(Chen Yi's face that Lei Yi had considered previously), and let the Wu family head and those who participated in this matter be buried with my wife!"
Chen Yi suddenly turned around, her sharp gaze looked as if she was going to stab at Lei Yi ten thousand times with a thousand blades, "What did you just say, I didn't hear it clearly..." Her voice was very soft, and it carried an oppressive pressure in it that was hard to ignore.
Lei Yi stood up slowly, "I said... I want the Wu family to be buried with my wife!" Lei Yi was not at all afraid, he stared into Chen Yi's eyes, and said word by word.
Chen Yi was originally a big shot in the capital, but... it has been three years after the end of the world, many influential families have been annihilated in the capital, and many formidable characters have emerged in troubled times, Chen Yi's era had already passed. If she was good, no one will not give her this face, but she was so arrogant the moment she returned... Sorry, I, Lei Yi, don't know who you are.

Of course, Chen Yi was also unlucky, and the one she was up against was none other than Chu Youning, who had been in the limelight recently.
In fact, Chu Youning also understood Chen Yi quite well. She doesn't like her, a woman who uses her body to get to the top, right? Ordinary delicate women in the world all have this shortcoming. It can't be said whether it was right or wrong, it was just a matter of personal feeling, just like how Chu Youning doesn't like Shen Haoyue.
If Chen Yi and Chu Youning didn't cross each other and each minded their own businesses, she also didn't want to provoke Chen Yi. However Chen Yi felt indignant for Wu Yuanyuan, and if she wanted to make trouble for her, then it was also impossible for Chu Youning to sit still and wait for death.
