Mu Chen frowned at his sister, âWho asked you this?â
âQi Tianâs brother asked me. He asked me many times. He also said that I used to be a person of Tong Bao Zhai. He said that I had a good relationship with the owner of Tong Bao Zhai, but... I donât know her at all.â Mu Xue said confusedly. Then she looked at Mu Chen and asked, âBrother, do you know anything about this?â
Mu Chenâs eyes turned cold and his voice was also turned a little colder. âI donât know. You just live your life happily now, okay? Donât think too much about anything else.â
âBut brother...â
âOkay, okay. Just donât ask about Tong Bao Zhai again.â Mu Chen interrupted Mu Xue in a tougher tone.
Mu Xue felt a little disappointed, âI understand.â
Mu Chen massaged his tightly frowned eyebrows, Xiao Qi Feng was a really useless man.
Mu Chenâs mood had not been good when he was preparing to go back to the courtyard along with Situ Xuan and Xiao Qi Tian. Situ Xuan walked to his side worriedly and asked, âChen, are you okay?â
Mu Chen shook his head, âIâm fine. Iâm just a little uncomfortable seeing Xueâer like that.â Although he did not want to think of the situation that way. According to Mu Chenâs understanding of her sister, she would never ask such questions.
âOkay, donât think too much about it. Weâve come here to see their child, donât make everyone unhappy.â
Situ Xuan was persuading Mu Chen, while Xiao Qi Tian was trying to appease Mu Xue who was hurt by Mu Chenâs attitude.
âQi Tian, â??â??I didnât mean anything else. I was just asking, why was my brother so angry?â Mu Xue said very sadly.
Xiao Qi Tian also felt uncomfortable. It seemed that when he was unaware, Xiao Qi Feng had come to see Mu Xue again and asked things he should not have asked.
âXueâer, your brother only said it for your own good. Come on now, just stop asking these things, understood?â Xiao Qi Tian looked at Mu Xue and said.
âBut your brother said I know them, and told me that I would know too if I asked my brother.â Mu Xue frowned and said.
Why could she not know those things? According to Xiao Qi Feng, she used to be one of the leaders of Tong Bao Zhai.
Why could she not know about Tong Bao Zhai? It was part of her identity after all, right?
From Mu Xueâs dissatisfied look, Xiao Qi Tian could guess what she was thinking and consoled, âXueâer, our life is enough now. Donât investigate this matter, okay? Itâs not good for you if you knew too much.â
Mu Xue looked at Xiao Qi Tian suspiciously. âDo you also know about it?â
Xiao Qi Tian looked at Mu Xue and said, âI donât know.â
âYouâre lying. Your eyes would look around non-stop when you lie. Explain to me now. What is going on and why did I forget so many things?â Mu Xue said a little bit reluctantly.
Xiao Qi Tian frowned, looking at Mu Xueâs unreasonable attitude, âSo what if I know? So what if I donât know? Mu Xue, just let it be since youâve already forgotten about it. Why must you think of it?â
âI am one of the leaders of Tong Bao Zhai. Why canât you let me know of these things?â Mu Xue looked at Xiao Qi Tian in disappointment.
Xiao Qi Tianâs expression changed drastically and he looked at Mu Xue sternly and asked, âWho told you this?â
Mu Xue snorted, âAre other people not allowed to tell me just because you guys donât want to?â
Xiao Qi Tian looked at Mu Xueâs behavior and he felt something indescribable. Everything was fine before, but it all suddenly changed. She suddenly seemed very persistent to know what Tong Bao Zhai was.
âMu Xue, I will tell you one last time. Knowing these things is not good for you. If you donât want to listen then you can ask Mu Chen. But I canât guarantee what kind of consequences there will be.â Xiao Qi Tian looked at Mu Xue and said coldly.
Mu Xue watched Xiao Qi Tian leave after he finished speaking. She had a bad feeling. This was the first time they had quarreled since their return.
Mu Xue was very confused, thinking of Xiao Qi Tianâs words. Should she really not know these things?
But... but why? She just wanted to know. She hated this feeling of forgetting so many things.
