Chapter 292: Chapter 292 Outsider

The mother and son both ignored him, but Qiao Yebai wasn’t angry. He had long expected that Mu Yiliang would blame him. Even though it seemed his intentions were for her good, his rough interference in her private affairs was indeed his fault.

If it weren’t for the guilt she felt towards him as her brother, she would have fallen out with him long ago.

"He’s already gone," Qiao Yebai said blandly, walking over to them. "You and Xiaoze can stay here in peace."

Mu Yiliang bit her lip, unable to hold back: "Brother, I know you’re worried about me, but why did you have to do this?"

She didn’t want to doubt him, but Qiao Yebai’s actions were truly overstepping. Moreover, she knew this man had a deeply cunning mind. Even if she believed he was her brother, deep down she couldn’t trust him completely.

"Don’t you know? I received news that the Yan Family isn’t very stable lately, and there might be some upheaval among the FIS executives." Qiao Yebai had already prepared his explanation and explained calmly, "Now, going back with him is definitely not a good idea."

"But..."

"I don’t want you talking to him alone simply because your current physical condition can’t handle too much emotional fluctuation." Qiao Yebai’s tone grew stern. "If it’s really as you say, and Yan Sijue hasn’t wronged you, then once he’s dealt with his issues, he’ll definitely come looking for you again. What are you worried about? Do you think I could keep you here forever?"

Mu Yiliang was rendered speechless.

Xiaoze also frowned. After hearing this... it actually made some sense? Especially since he knew the Yan Family wasn’t very peaceful lately. Since Daddy was betrayed and got addicted to drugs, he wasn’t planning on holding back anymore. Organizing the engagement ceremony was just to deceive the Old Man. In private, Daddy was planning a revenge operation.

"He left Xiaoze here, probably because he was worried that someone might target Xiaoze if he stayed by his side." Qiao Yebai looked at the two of them deep in thought and threw out his final trump card, "Otherwise, do you think he would easily bring Xiaoze here and just leave him? Do you really think he’s afraid of me?"

Mu Yiliang and Xiaoze exchanged a glance, both seeing guilt in each other’s eyes. They hadn’t even considered this angle.

"I’m sorry, brother... I wrongly blamed you," Mu Yiliang said apologetically.

Xiaoze also coughed lightly: "Uncle, you’re really impressive. My apologies."

Qiao Yebai snorted, "Were you just now whispering bad things about me?"

The mother and son hurriedly shook their heads.

"That’s better," Qiao Yebai gave them a fleeting glance, "Don’t worry, as long as Yan Sijue shows sincerity, I won’t stop you from being together forever."

Hearing the sarcasm in his words, Mu Yiliang felt even more ashamed: "I didn’t mean it like that, I just don’t want him to keep misunderstanding me... Ugh, I won’t talk about him anymore!"

She led her son over and said, "Brother, let me formally introduce you, this is my son, Mu Yuze."

After speaking, she nudged Xiaoze: "Quickly call him uncle!"

Xiaoze angrily covered the spot where he was nudged and obediently called out, "Uncle, I was wrong to blame you earlier. Please don’t get angry."

Qiao Yebai forced a slight smile, but it didn’t seem warm.

Seeing Mu Yiliang and Xiaoze’s affectionate interaction, and the emotions that had surged between her and Yan Sijue before, made him suddenly acutely aware that he was an outsider.
