"What is there to blame? If you must blame someone, blame yourself for not trying hard enough to protect yourself," said Mu Yuying.
Mu Hanyan smiled faintly. Although Mu Yuying spoke lightly, Mu Hanyan still detected the resentment in her voice.
It was no wonder, just like Mu Xitian and others, she had once viewed Mu Ze as an unshakeable giant tree that sheltered her from the wind and rain. But unexpectedly, when faced with a real formidable enemy, Mu Ze had immediately betrayed her, and the disparity and disappointment in her heart were unimaginable.
Seeing that she had stepped in, Mu Yuying might have harbored some hope again. Little did she expect that Mu Hanyan would challenge Huayue to step into the battle, and once Huayue was defeated, Mu Yuying would remain in Xiaoyang City, suffering humiliation from Jiang Yuzhe. If she guessed correctly, this young girl must now be utterly disappointed, even despairing of her kinsmen in the Mu Family.
"Rest assured, I, Mu Hanyan, will never let any Mu Family’s disciples be bullied!" Mu Hanyan declared resolutely. Her words were brief but filled with confidence and assertiveness.
After saying this, Mu Hanyan patted Mu Yuying’s shoulder and turned to walk toward Mu Nan Zirong.
Mu Hanyan’s figure was not robust; actually, it seemed somewhat slender and thin. Yet, Mu Yuying found her heart settling down inexplicably while looking at that figure.
Despite being a notorious playboy, putting aside his morals, his way of handling affairs was much more decisive than many of the Mu Family’s disciples, especially recently. Though his infamy was growing, the actions he took had delighted many young members of the Mu Family, letting them vent their frustrations thoroughly.
Suddenly, Mu Yuying felt that maybe this playboy brother was a bit more trustworthy than others. Watching Mu Hanyan’s retreating figure, she felt a sense of reliance.
"Oh, right, I meant I won’t let outsiders bully you. I can still bully you myself," Mu Hanyan added, turning back as something came to his mind.
Mu Yuying didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; a playboy was indeed a playboy. Just when she had started to depend on him as a brother, why did he have to add such a comment? It was so demoralizing. However, she felt completely relaxed while mixed with helpless laughter.
In the shadows, Ye Lanfeng listened to Mu Hanyan’s words and saw the smile on his face, a beautiful smile blossomed on his own handsome face, stunningly magnificent.
"This guy is actually quite interesting," Jin Yuguang said, who had just returned with a bag of roasted chestnuts, stuffing one into his mouth and overhearing Mu Hanyan’s comment.
"Go, take a pack to Hanyan, let her eat while she watches," Ye Lanfeng finally turned back and said casually to Jin Yuguang.
Jin Yuguang’s mind went blank, and the half-chewed chestnut fell out of his mouth, causing Zhou Binghai and others to look at him with disgust.
"Hurry up, do whatever the master tells you to," Zhou Binghai kicked Jin Yuguang on his buttocks and snatched two bags of roasted chestnuts from him, urging him while leaving one untouched bag of roasted chestnuts.
Regaining his senses, Jin Yuguang walked towards Mu Hanyan, looking foolish, carrying the roasted chestnuts. Hanyan? When had the master become so familiar with that playboy, using such affectionate terms?
Mu Hanyan was preparing to watch the fight, when a young man in black, looking constipated, approached her and extended a bag of roasted chestnuts.
Mu Hanyan was also taken aback.
"My master sent this for you, eat and watch," Jin Yuguang squeezed out the words through his gritted teeth.
The person in front of her didn’t refer to his master by name, but Mu Hanyan immediately knew whom he was talking about.
The person this man referred to was Ye Lanfeng.
Without further words, Mu Hanyan just knew it was definitely Ye Lanfeng. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novelꞁire.net
Why she was so certain, Mu Hanyan herself did not know.
