Chapter 248: Chapter 248: You are... Brother

"I will try to persuade him." Mu Yiliang glanced at him, "I hope that if Jason decides to quit, you won’t make things difficult for him."

"Alright." Qiao Yebai agreed readily.

This time, it was Mu Yiliang who looked surprised: "...Really? Thank you."

Unexpectedly, the man just laughed and shook his head, "Lady Mu, you still don’t understand men."

Mu Yiliang looked at him, puzzled.

"The reason I agreed so readily is because I know you won’t be able to persuade Jason." He curved his lips, "He will still choose to cooperate with me."

Mu Yiliang let out a low hum, "What makes you think that? I have nearly a decade of relationship with him!"

"That’s why he can’t give up the opportunity I’m offering him." Qiao Yebai smiled with certainty, "His feelings for you are obvious to anyone. When you were in a coma, you didn’t see, but he held your hand the whole time, as if it were a rare treasure... Even I was moved."

Mu Yiliang bit her lip.

"How can a man protect the woman he loves if he doesn’t make himself strong?" Qiao Yebai’s expression was quite playful.

She couldn’t help but shudder!

"A man who has never been keen on power suddenly putting all his efforts into climbing up, there’s only one reason, he has someone he wants to protect." Qiao Yebai smiled gently.

Mu Yiliang clenched her hands tightly, an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"However, I promise you, within my capabilities, I will try my best to keep him from doing anything dangerous."

Mu Yiliang laughed bitterly: "Really? Thank you..."

"For you." He added.

Mu Yiliang raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "I haven’t agreed to join you, Mr. Qiao."

"So distant?" He chuckled, "However, I wasn’t asking you to join."

"Then why?" Mu Yiliang felt a growing sense of caution.

"Perhaps it’s because... we share the same blood." He suddenly looked at her intently, a hint of nostalgia on his face.

Mu Yiliang was startled: "What same blood?"

"Seems you’ve forgotten." Qiao Yebai smiled self-mockingly, his expression a bit forlorn, "Well, you were so young back then."

"You..." Mu Yiliang suddenly realized something, her face changed dramatically, "This can’t be..."

Qiao Yebai carelessly smiled, "Actually, my surname is also Mu, my original name is... Mu Yicheng."

Mu Yiliang suddenly felt like her heart was being gripped by a giant hand, making breathing extremely difficult!

"You are..." Tears streamed down her face involuntarily, "You are... brother..."

Hearing this title, Qiao Yebai’s expression also showed a slight change.

"Do you remember me?"

"How could I forget?" Mu Yiliang couldn’t help but tremble, "Are you really brother? I thought you had already..."

While she was in a coma, the only gain was probably remembering the brother she had long forgotten.

"Thought I was dead?" Qiao Yebai smiled self-mockingly.

"I’m sorry..." She bit her lip, forcing down the excitement in her heart, "Mr. Qiao, if you really are my brother, I would be very, very happy... But, we don’t seem alike at all..."

"You doubt me?" Qiao Yebai gently raised an eyebrow, then gave a bitter smile, "It makes sense, after all these years, I was alive, yet never tried to contact the Mu Family, it’s reasonable for you not to believe. If that’s the case, let’s just forget it. I never intended to claim my roots."
