323 Explanation
u can't do anything when it matters! Hey, go fetch a lantern and keep shouting! By the time your son’s spirit reaches you, you’ll be calling him home while carrying him back yourself! Give us the hand...“Miss Lin, you are a good child. You don’t understand the profundity of Taoism and that harming people doesn’t require taking action; nor do you understand that some young people resort to evil paths to elevate their cultivation… Mu Xiaqiao is arrogant, uses her charms to ensnare venerated deities, and harms fellow practitioners. Who knows what other things she might do in the future It's important to make her realize her wrongdoing and repent in time.”
This sanctimonious bastard!
It seems like you really want to isolate our Mu family!
He put on such a righteous show in front of everyone. Now he'll just be openly hostile towards us!
At that time, people in the industry won't just oppose us, they might even band together against us!
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it. Isn't that common sense
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Madam Shen was about to speak when Shen Qingrui preempted her, saying, “The Mu family has always been independent and outside the rules. However, Mu Xiaqiao is pregnant now. Taking her away wouldn't be appropriate, would it Why not just take Mu Yunfan instead After all, he is the head of the family. Whether to apologize or pay compensation, he can make the decision.”
Isn't this guy being intentional He clearly wants to take us down one by one!
How could I possibly split up with my brother!
If my brother surrenders, can I still get out of this building safely Can I get back home safely
>
My brother remained silent, his face as cold as ice, his eyes fixed on Lin Yanqin with a menacing glare.
What is he doing He would have jumped up to resist long ago!
And he never lets anyone get the better of him in an argument! How come he's so tolerant today
Lin Yanqin was pierced by his gaze, at a loss for words. She waved her hands and said, "I... I don't know these things... I... I didn't lie to you!"
What
My brother thinks she deliberately set a trap, tricking us into this Hongmen Banquet
Could she be deceiving us!
At that moment, my heart turned cold. No way... Could Miss Lin have been pretending all along
Her slightly childish, yet well-behaved personality, is it all an act!
Lin Yanqin's tears welled up, and she cried to Mama Lin: "Mom, this is my friend—"
Mom Lin patted her hand and whispered, "These are matters between Master Situ and his disciples. You don't have to worry about them; he's just educating the younger generation."
Master Situ, with his silver tongue, owed Lin Mama a bow and said: "Madam Lin, you probably don't know... The Mu family are just merchants dealing in antiques and have some knowledge of exorcism. Last time, my useless son gave Miss Lin an antique bronze mirror, which was quite valuable. These two young masters from the Mu family falsely claimed that the mirror was unlucky and swindled it away!"
I!! This old geezer is simply...
"Brother, you... don't you explain anything" I was tongue-tied, unable to speak as eloquently as my brother.
But my brother at this time was surrounded by a chilling aura, completely devoid of his usual carefree and roguish demeanor.
My brother reached up and ripped his tie off. It had taken me a whole minute to tie it, but he just tore it down and threw it on the ground. He then unbuttoned his collar and cuffs, revealing a copper amulet hanging around his neck.
I thought he was going to fight, so I quickly shielded my stomach and watched his movements warily—if it came to blows, I'd just be a burden! Don't be impulsive, brother!
To his surprise, he didn't retreat but instead shoved the man in black aside.
He pointed at Lin Yanqin and said, “Lin Yanqin, where have I wronged you Why are you setting up traps to frame me and Xiao Qiao!”
Ah!
Is this the point!
Even if she really framed us and lured us to the Hongmen Banquet, there's no time to hold a grudge against her now!
Lin Yanqin widened her tear-filled eyes and staggered towards us, shaking her head desperately. "No! I didn't! I didn't frame you guys… I just wanted to—"
"What are you thinking" my brother said, his voice cold.
Lin Yanqin's face flushed red, her eyes brimming with tears as she whispered, "I just wanted to ask you and—"
I bet she's going to say, "I just want to invite you and Jo out for a meal, but if I asked individually, you definitely wouldn't come..."
But my brother didn't wait for her to finish speaking before cutting her off, coldly sneering, "Ask me Ask me to do what Aren't you supposed to be marrying the young master of the Situ family Are you using all sorts of excuses to invite me to dinner"
"You've been flirting with everyone else, what are you doing showing up in front of me!"
He let out a cold laugh, his words like a thunderbolt from a clear sky —
"What You still want me to be your underground lover"
The moment those words were spoken, everyone was stunned, even the black-clad figures around us seemed to freeze in their tracks.
My brother pushed the man in black aside and stepped forward to stand before Lin Yanqin.
He stared silently at Lin Yanqin for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Lin, is it because Young Master didn't serve you well enough that you hold a grudge against me! Or did Young Master serve you too well, so you can't forget it Are you planning to frame me, making it impossible for me to stand on my own two feet, leaving me only able to beg you in bed!"
I was amazed!!
What are you talking about!
You two, what time...
No, no... I don't believe it, I don't believe it...
My brother is basically with me every day, when did he have this kind of relationship with Miss Lin!
And he used to be very unkind to Miss Lin!
How could it suddenly——
I almost choked, my breath caught in my chest and my head went fuzzy!
"Slap!" A crisp sound of a slap echoed, awakening all of us.
Miss Lin slapped my brother while crying.
My brother lay on his side, his expression unreadable.
"Mu Yunfan! How can you, how can you—" Miss Lin's face flushed red with anger and indignation.
Mom Lin was shocked. This is the eldest Miss Lin! How could there be such a scandal!
She screamed and yelled, “Yan Qin, what is this little bastard talking about!”
Lin Yanqin's crying and helpless appearance was so pitiful that I almost felt sorry for her.
"Brother..." I wanted to say something to persuade him.
No matter what the situation is, it's not right to speak about a woman like this in public, especially one from a prominent family.
Lin Yanqin burst into tears and apologized to her mother, "I'm sorry," before covering her face and running out!
"Quick, stop my daughter!" Lin's mother screamed in terror. "Hurry! Don't let her get into danger!!"
In the banquet hall, half the people leaped to their feet. It's the Lin family's eldest daughter! What will they do now that she's in trouble They all fawned over her before...
Those men in black from the Situ family obviously knew how important Lin Yanqin was, and they almost instinctively chased after her.
My brother suddenly jumped up and kicked the person next to me away. He grabbed my hand and ran outside!
"Xia Qiao, you must hold on! Don't give me a miscarriage right now!" My brother pulled me into the safety passage.
My brother scooped me up in one arm, holy cow! Three people's weight! He actually started running downward with me in his arms!
When escaping, it's best not to take the elevator. Once the power is cut, you're basically stuck there and waiting for death — that's common sense when it comes to evacuation.
So my brother picked me up and ran straight downstairs!
"Brother! When did you start seeing Miss Lin"
I really can't help but ask this!
This matter is shocking and beyond my expectations!
"You guys actually have such a close relationship! I was kept in the dark about all of this!" I couldn't help but complain.
My brother glared at me and angrily said, "Are you stupid--" and capital.” I reminded him, syllable by syllable: “You’ve reached the age to talk about marriage. Although our lives are a bit more thrilling and dangerous, we don’t exactly roll around in a sea of...
