Chapter 218: 181

"Are you talking about Mu Lin? She just left." When Ya Yan talked about Mu Lin, the smile at the corners of her mouth became even brighter, her eyebrows curled, making her look exceedingly beautiful. Of course, as seen through Chen Yao’s eyes, it was nothing but jealousy.

She was jealous of everything from Mu Lin’s decent family to her gorgeous appearance, and, of course, the elder brother who protected only Ya Yan and never noticed any other woman.

These were the sources of Chen Yao’s resentment and pain.

The damsel in distress! For Ya Yan, Mu Lin was both the hero and the damsel, beautiful as she is.

"Oh." Hearing Ya Yan, Chen Yao nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the black coat on the bed and subconsciously reached for it. However, she was swiftly stopped by Yan Yan, "Don’t touch this coat." For the first time aside from her own brother’s adoration, Ya Yan felt a possessive love for an object without hesitation.

A spark of cold flickers in her eyes, yet Chen Yao continues to play her false smile, "This coat, is it Mu Lin’s? Why didn’t she take it away?" Yet inwardly she was scoffing. It’s just a piece of ragged clothing without a label, nothing worth treasure.

"Yes." Not looking at Chen Yao, Ya Yan nodded, clutching the coat in her hand, her smile extra sweet. "Mu Lin gave it to me."

"I see." Chen Yao’s lips pressed into a thin line, her heart filled with doubt. What was in the bag that Mu Lin took away just now? She had originally thought it was this coat. Could it be...

Looking at Mu Lin, Chen Yao suddenly said, "Yanyan, you just took a shower. Where are the clothes you just changed out of? Shall I take them to be laundered together with mine? I have some clothes that need to be picked up and washed by them too."

"It’s not necessary." Ya Yan shook her head, "I only need to wash this coat. I will make the call later to have them pick it up."

"Only this one? What about the outfit you just changed out of?" Chen Yao queried with some urgency, her eyes scanning the room. She completely missed the moment when the ever-smiling face of her good sister suddenly turned cold. When she looked back at Ya Yan, her smile remained unchanged.

"Mu Lin has already taken those clothes out and thrown them away." Ya Yan smiled, but the mirth did not reach her eyes.

Why has she never noticed anything all this time!

"Took them away!" Chen Yao exclaimed, realizing that her suspicions were right. "Why take them away? Even if they were to be thrown away, you could leave them in the room, someone would come to collect it, wouldn’t that be troubling them unnecessarily?"

At this moment, Chen Yao unequivocally believed that something had happened to Ya Yan. Perhaps that man named Mu Lin did not have time to save her. However, no one answered the calls from those people, and the clothes that could have served as evidence had been taken away. Even if she wanted to find evidence, she couldn’t.

Moreover, Ya Yan had just taken a shower and her clothes were so tight that she couldn’t see anything.

"Mu Lin said it would be convenient, so I let her throw it away. No matter where it’s thrown, it’s the same." Ya Yan’s words were casual.

Why did Chen Yao want to undress her since she entered the room, and then worry about her changed clothes from the moment she entered the room? Does she know something...or the thing that happened today...?

Perhaps the answer has already appeared, just that she is still somewhat reluctant to believe it. After all, they have known each other for so many years, and Ya Yan has never thought that one day Chen Yao would want to harm her.

If it were not for Mu Lin happening to pass by and save her today, Ya Yan knew that she, humiliated and violated as she was, would definitely not choose to continue living.

Chen Yao, I never knew your heart was so cruel.

The relationship between them turned out to be less of a match than the one she just met with Mu Lin today, which is both a ridiculous and sad affair.

Thinking of this, Ya Yan suddenly lost the will to keep up the pretense with Chen Yao. She laughed, yawned, and while watching Chen Yao, said, "Yaoyao, too many things happened today. I’m so tired now. You go first, I want to blow-dry my hair and take a nap. Don’t call me for dinner, I’ll order room service."

After a pause, Chen Yao nodded, "Alright, you rest first." Then she turned around and walked towards the door.

"Yaoyao, wait a moment." Suddenly, Ya Yan called Chen Yao to stop. When Chen Yao turned back, she was somewhat taken aback, she thought Ya Yan might have something to tell her since Ya Yan was usually willing to share such matters with her.
