Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Really No Resentment?

Mu Yiliang felt overwhelmed with guilt: "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to doubt you, it’s just so sudden, um... do you still remember what happened back then?"

She was definitely the person in the world who most hoped her brother was still alive, so precisely because of that, she needed to be cautious. Although the fact that the Mu Family once had an eldest son wasn’t known by many, it wasn’t exactly a secret, and it wouldn’t be surprising if an outsider found out.

Although she hadn’t known Qiao Yebai for long, she could tell that he was a deeply calculating person, so she had to be careful.

"I remember we hadn’t yet celebrated our third birthday at that time," Qiao Yebai’s brows furrowed slightly, "You were pestering to go out and play, and made the nanny take you out, dragging me along. We ran into thugs... Afterward, I kept comforting you, and because I seemed brave in front of you... I was seen as promising and brought back to the organization to be trained."

His description was understated.

Mu Yiliang’s nose stung, and she almost burst into tears. In that short sentence, there was so much hardship and danger included... And she had doubted him!

If he wasn’t her brother, how could he know those details, how could he speak so lightly of it all?

Besides, why would he need to lie to her?

"Brother..." Mu Yiliang cried out involuntarily, "It was my willfulness that put you in danger, I’m sorry, it’s my fault you..."

"How old were you at that time? There’s no need to blame yourself." He chuckled softly, "Besides, I’m still alive and well."

"Yes, you’re still alive, that’s wonderful!" Mu Yiliang was overwhelmed with excitement.

His being alive undoubtedly eased much of her guilt.

Qiao Yebai gently patted her: "I originally didn’t want to reunite with you so early, you were so young back then, you might have even forgotten about my existence..."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yiliang felt a bit ashamed, she actually didn’t remember, if not for Mu Yixun telling her...

"I’m sorry..." Mu Yiliang held his hand tightly, "Since you didn’t die, why didn’t you come home all this time?"

Qiao Yebai’s face turned somber, and he withdrew his hand, his smile carrying a hint of sarcasm.

"At that time, after the head of the kidnappers took me back, he adopted me as his son." The sarcasm in his eyes grew stronger, "He wanted to train me to be a sharp blade, to be used by him... although I later killed him, do you think I could still return to be the eldest young master of the Mu Family now?"

Mu Yiliang clenched her fists tightly.

"I’m sorry..."

"There’s no need to keep apologizing." His tone was indifferent, "To me, it hasn’t been all bad. If I had stayed with the Mu Family, growing up step by step, my life would probably have been planned out, which is quite dull. It’s better like this, at least now I can carve out my own path."

Mu Yiliang felt even worse inside.

This scene of reuniting as siblings wasn’t as beautiful as she had imagined.

The man in front of her was no longer the boy who once only wanted to protect her. He had lived in darkness for many years, who knows how much blood had stained his hands.

Choosing to reunite with her was probably because it was the last bit of warmth left in his heart...

Though he spoke as if it didn’t matter, was there truly no resentment?

All of this was caused by her.

Thinking of this, her heart ached immensely.
