"As long as you deny it, second brother will believe it wasn’t you." Tian Ernan’s eyes were wet with distress.
He originally wanted to do something for the village, thinking it was a very great thing.
He didn’t expect he would end up scheming against his own sister, pushing her into the fire pit.
"Second brother, it really was me." Tian Xingyun said with moist eyes and a faint smile.
She also wanted to deny it, but she couldn’t lie to herself.
"Xingyun, it’s second brother who let you down!" Tian Ernan hugged Xingyun, apologizing with deep guilt.
His eyes were full of rage; he wanted to go teach that bastard Huo Shaohua a lesson!
How dare he bully his sister and not take responsibility? He must beat him up until he’s crawling on the ground!
"Second brother, it was just an accident, you did nothing wrong." She herself never expected that one day she would end up in bed with Huo Shaohua.
And even more so, that she would be pregnant with his child, accidentally intertwining her fate with his.
But she also saved Huatan Village, her most beloved home.
"That bastard!" Tian Ernan gritted his teeth, releasing Tian Xingyun and turning to leave.
"Second brother! Don’t be impulsive." Tian Xingyun was startled and immediately stepped forward to stop him.
She absolutely couldn’t let second brother go after Huo Shaohua; it would only make things worse.
"I have to go teach that bastard Huo Shaohua a lesson!" Tian Ernan shook off Tian Xingyun’s hand.
"Second brother, you can’t go!" Tian Xingyun held onto his hand tightly again, using all her strength.
"You can’t let him bully you ."
"He didn’t bully me, it was just an accident," Tian Xingyun said, eyes turning red.
"Xingyun, don’t be so foolish."
"Second brother, if you go teach him a lesson, he will retaliate against Huatan Village."
"He has already promised me not to go against Huatan Village."
"..." Tian Ernan froze, his eyes reddened with distress.
What should he do now? He had ruined his sister.
"Second brother, you haven’t sent the photos to Huo Shaohua, have you?" Tian Xingyun, too overwhelmed to be sad, hurriedly asked the most important question.
"What?!" Tian Xingyun was shocked, her heart pounding in fear.
Second brother had already sent the photos to him, but why had he not made a move?
Could he be plotting something...
"I didn’t know it was you when I sent them..." Tian Ernan regretfully raised his hand to slap himself.
He had used his own sister to threaten Huo Shaohua, how inhumane!
"Second brother, don’t do that." Tian Xingyun stopped him from hitting himself.
"Xingyun, hit second brother, it was second brother who let you down."
"Second brother, the most important thing now is to find a way to salvage this, we can’t anger Huo Shaohua." Her mind was desperately trying to figure out how to stop all of this.
"I will take responsibility for what I did; if he wants to settle accounts, he can come to me." Tian Ernan was angry; he wouldn’t implicate others for what he had done.
"Second brother, don’t be impulsive. I’ll go find him and get a sense of the situation first." Tian Xingyun urged, as long as second brother didn’t act recklessly and worsen the situation.
There was still a chance to resolve this matter.
"You can’t go, what if he bullies you?" Tian Ernan grabbed Tian Xingyun, firmly refusing to let her go to Huo Shaohua.
Huo Shaohua had already bullied Xingyun once; he couldn’t let her suffer any more grievances.
He had to take responsibility for what he did, he couldn’t let Xingyun bear the consequences for him.
"He wouldn’t dare bully me, you keep the photos safe and don’t let anyone find them, alright?" Tian Xingyun forced a strained smile on her pale face, calmly instructing second brother.
"I won’t let anyone find them."
"I’ll go find him first, don’t act impulsively!" Tian Xingyun said, turning and jogging away.
She rode her little donkey out, her hands trembling in fear.
She didn’t know what he was thinking, why he remained so quiet after receiving those photos.
