Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Who Really Hurt You

"Why the long face?" Qiao Yebai laughed, leaning down to gently pinch her cheek. "Shouldn’t you be happy? At least you should trust that I wouldn’t put Jason and the others at risk, right? You don’t owe me any favors anymore."

Mu Yiliang, however, couldn’t muster a smile.

"But six years ago, I heard you married Yan Sijue... I thought your life would be great now, so why are you in such a state?" He frowned, dissatisfied.

"We later... divorced..." Mu Yiliang honestly confessed, "Didn’t you hear about it?"

"Oh, really?" He squinted his eyes, "Did Yan Sijue do something to wrong you?"

"It’s not his fault..." Mu Yiliang gave a bitter smile, "Anyway, I’m actually alright now, this injury was an accident. So, how about you, brother?"

He smiled faintly, "Me? Since I killed that old man three years ago, life has been much better. Fighting for territory, for shares, it’s not bad. At least now, no one can easily bully me."

Hearing him talk about killing his adoptive father so indifferently, Mu Yiliang felt a pang of fear.

He must have gone through so many horrifying experiences over the years...

"Take good care of your injury." He smiled comfortingly, "Don’t worry, no matter when, you are my sister, and I won’t let anyone bully you. I wouldn’t in the past, and even less so now."

Mu Yiliang felt a warmth in her heart.

"Thank you." She smiled, "Brother."

It’s great that he’s still alive, but she’s no longer that little girl who only knew to hide behind him. It should be her saying that sentence. After all, she really owed him a lot.

"Silly girl." He naturally ruffled her hair, laughing, "You were once dark and skinny, but now you’ve grown into a beauty."

Mu Yiliang couldn’t help but feel stifled.

She remembered what Mu Yixun once told her, that she wasn’t good-looking as a child, so their mom preferred the prettier, cuter brother.

She didn’t believe it at first because there were no photos of her childhood at home, and she thought Mu Yixun was deliberately trying to disgust her, but it turned out to be true.

She had no choice but to sullenly brush his hand away.

Qiao Yebai, however, caught her hand and gently rubbed it in his palm.

His palm was slightly hot, making Mu Yiliang feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Why exactly did you get hurt? Who hurt you?" He suddenly asked, "Can you tell me now?"

Mu Yiliang hesitated for a moment.

Qiao Yebai lowered his eyes, let go of her, and smiled bitterly, "Fine, if you don’t want to say it, that’s okay. Even though I’m your brother, it’s been so many years, and I’ve changed so much. It’s only natural you wouldn’t trust me."

"No, it’s not that I don’t trust you!" Mu Yiliang didn’t want to see him like that and grabbed his arm, "It’s just, I don’t know how to say it..."

"Then just take your time." Qiao Yebai smiled gently, "I’m not in a hurry."

"Although I divorced Yan Sijue, we had a child together." Mu Yiliang sighed lightly, "At first, I hid it from him and didn’t let him know about the child, but later he found out, so he fought with me for the baby’s custody... I couldn’t win against him, so I decided to fight back!"

Qiao Yebai chuckled, "How did you fight back?"

Mu Yiliang laid out their plan completely, "But unexpectedly, I happened to run into a subordinate of Yan Sijue’s who was rebelling, so I ended up suffering an undeserved misfortune..."
