Mu Chenwu’s aggressive manner made it difficult for Mu Chenyan to stand her ground. Her mind became a chaotic mess and her complexion turned pale while she leaned against a gravestone.
“Sister, Yuan Xuan has never openly acknowledged that child before…”
Mu Chenwu knew from his sister’s expression that this stupid girl’s heart was going to be filled with doubts regardless of what he said. She was struggling bitterly with him.
He grit his teeth and yelled, “I f*cking hate him so much! First, he caused my father’s death. Next, he selfishly claimed you although his heart belongs to another woman! Moreover, you still refuse to believe the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can just return to the Yuan Family as “Mrs Yuan”. I’ve already prepared to fight Yuan Xuan to the death in several months time, so you just help me bury my corpse then!”
Mu Chenyan bitterly shook her head and wailed, “Brother, don’t say such things! It’s not that I don’t believe you, I just need some time to accept this. Yuan Xuan has been considerably nicer to me these few days, so it’s difficult for me to believe that he orchestrated everything…” If Yuan Xuan did not love her and was merely using her to serve his own goals, how would he explain his concern and gentleness toward her during the days after she was released from prison?
Would it not have been better to let her die in prison? Aside from luring her brother out of hiding, there didn’t seem to be any other plausible reasons for him to get her out.
“Silly girl, Shu Qinger’s death has already become reality. He got you out of prison and treated you nicely simply because he lacked a bedmate!”
Mu Chenyan was shocked. She immediately began trembling as if she had just been splashed with cold water.
Yuan Xuan had certainly mentioned the word “bedmate” before.
“That’s impossible…” Mu Chenyan feebly countered.
“Little Yan, wake up! I told you earlier that I’ll take revenge by myself if you’re still in love with him. You’ve also seen that Yuan Xuan is hunting me down from every direction so that he can completely destroy me!
Although I’ve tried to hide everywhere, I’ve never been able to shake off the people who are pursuing me. If it wasn’t for Feng Rao who still cherished our old relationship, I wouldn’t even be able to see you today. I’m afraid that even if my dead body turns up in the future, you won’t believe that Mu Chenwu had been killed by the man you love…”
Mu Chenwu glanced around when he spoke, his desolate expression piercing Mu Chenyan’s sensitive heart.
“Little Yan, if I die, you should just forget that you were a child of the Mu Family so that you can happily live out the rest of your days with Yuan Xuan! No matter what I say, you’re just a woman. Thus, Yuan Xuan will not consider your feelings, but he wouldn’t hurt you either…”
Her brother had threatened to die again!
Mu Chenyan suddenly calmed down. She wiped away her tears and stood up before she calmly looked at Mu Chenwu and softly replied, “Brother, if you die, how can I survive on my own with our mother in tow?”
Mu Chenwu was speechless. He met Mu Chenyan’s gaze and whispered, “Then you should just follow your brother’s plans from now on, alright?”
“Brother, what do you want me to do?” Mu Chenyan realized that crying would not solve their problems, even if the things that her brother said were different from her own perspective. She might as well listen to her brother’s plan for now.
When Mu Chenwu saw that Mu Chenyan was ready to listen, he quietly said, “That year, our father brought some of the material back and hid them. We need to find a suitable time to reveal this matter!”
Mu Chenyan was clearly shocked. She met her brother’s gaze and opened her mouth before replying, “When is this time that you’re talking about, brother? Since he already possessed this material, why didn’t Father bring them out earlier when he was suppressed by the Yuan Family?”
“We lacked manpower and were weak at that time while the Yuan Family who backed Yuan Xuan were unimaginably powerful. Moreover, since Yuan Xuan and the Capital City’s Shao Family were extremely close, even if we reveal the evidence, we may not live to see another day if the higher-uppers decide to get rid of us first!” Mu Chenwu scoffed bitterly.
