Chapter 265: All was Well As Long As Yuan Xuan Was Present
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shu Qinger could not let go of the fact that Yuan Xuan had married Mu Chenyan in the past. Otherwise, she would not have acted like she had lost her mind and entered Zong He to force Yuan Xuan to give up on the marriage…
However, she had underestimated Yuan Xuan’s will to marry Mu Chenyan.
Even under such a situation, Yuan Xuan was determined to marry Mu Chenyan. Thus, she escaped from Zong He to frighten Yuan Xuan out of anger.
At the time, Shu Qinger had no choice but to take refuge in City C because she had no money. However, who would have thought that her beast of a stepfather would rape her…
In order to keep her for his amusement, that bastard lied to Zhao Yanni. He injected tranquilizers into her and said that she was mentally deranged. Therefore, Ruoxin replaced her and returned to Luo Hai.
Moreover, Qinger wanted to make use of that disgusting man, Xia Tao to bring her father down, so she slept with him for almost two years.
During that period of time, the only news that made her feel a little happier was that Yuan Xuan had not helped Mu Chenyan when she was being taken away as a murderer after Zhao Ruoxin died.
Mu Chenyan went to jail and Shu Qinger thought in her heart, perhaps she was the one who Yuan Xuan truly loved!
After her stepfather passed away, Shu Qinger could not return to Luo Hai because she was not able to explain her disappearance. Why did someone who had come back from the dead not return to Luo Hai during those two years? Even though the things that Shu Qinger experienced in City C was being kept a secret and she was using Zhao Ruoxin’s identity, she wanted to show Yuan Xuan a clean Ruoxin.
She was afraid that Yuan Xuan knew about her being used by those two old men!
Later on, she received help from Mr. Shadow and freed herself from Xia Tao’s control. She used a brand new identity and lived in the Yuan Family. Nonetheless, she saw Mu Chenyan take the status of Mrs. Yuan.
Besides, everything did not go the way she planned. Yuan Xuan was supposed to develop feelings for her, Shu Qinger’s twin sister who looked exactly the same as her.
It was obvious that Qinger was not satisfied after the trip to Liu Li Villa. She had tried to test Yuan Xuan over and over again, but he protected Mu Chenyan very well, far greater than she had expected him to!
When Shu Qinger thought about the past, she felt as though her heart was collapsing.
From the way she saw it, all the hardships that she has gone through were all because of Mu Chenyan!
If it was not for Mu Chenyan, the title ‘Mrs. Yuan’ would definitely be hers, considering the fact that she was Yuan Xuan’s childhood friend and they grew up together!
“Mu Chenyan, what is there for you to be cocky about? Don’t you know the reason why Yuan Xuan married you? You’ve probably only heard half of the things that Mu Chenwu told you in the cemetery, right? Otherwise, how shameful can you be for sleeping with Yuan Xuan after knowing that he killed your father?”
Shu Qinger was burning with rage, so she spoke rashly.
When Mu Chenyan heard the words that Shu Qinger said under the influence of anger, she slowly was able to verify some speculations that she had before.
“Even you’re contacting my brother?”
Mu Chenyan had a stern look in her eyes as she asked Shu Qinger briefly, and the look on her face had changed drastically.
She realized that she made a slipup and she seemed extremely rattled. “I… Why would I contact him?”
Shu Qinger’s expression had sold her out.
She could not deny the fact that the man, Mr. Shadow who had brought her out of City C was indeed Mu Chenwu…
Mu Chenwu had pictures of her in bed with Xia Tao in City C, so she was willing to be under his control…
Mu Chenyan felt that her brother, Mu Chenwu had deliberately arranged their meeting in the cemetery.
Previously, it seemed like Yuan Zhe knew that Mu Chenwu had returned based on his sarcastic remarks during the family dinner. And now, Shu Qinger also seemed to know about the content of the conversation between Mu Chenwu and her in the cemetery.
Did her brother not tell her that he was being forced to leave the city?
How did he return to Luo Hai? Why did he get along with people who had no relevance like Yuan Zhe and Shu Qinger? Why did he not inform her beforehand that he was with them?
“You don’t have to find any more excuses. I’ll find out the entire truth!”
Mu Chenyan said in a very serious tone. Shu Qinger knew that she would definitely eventually find out about it now that she had gotten serious, so she was starting to feel uneasy.
“If you’re going to investigate this, it means that you don’t believe in your brother. It has nothing to do with me!”
“Mu Chenwu is my brother. It’s not that I don’t believe in what he said, but I should think it through thoroughly before making any decisions. The old Xi Fan case was something that happened ten years ago and Mu Chenwu was rather young at that time. Therefore, I chose to believe that my mother knows better about this case!”
Since Shu Qinger knew about Mu Chenwu and her meeting at the cemetery, she felt that there was no need to beat around the bushes, regardless of whether she knew about even more secret information.
In fact, Shu Qinger only knew a little about the content of Mu Chenwu and Mu Chenyan’s conversation. How could Mu Chenwu tell her about the details of something as huge as the old Xi Fan case?
It turned out that the reason why Mu Chenyan did not make a move was that she saw improvement in Yan Mei’s treatment, so she was waiting for Yan Mei’s ultimate answer!
“Mu Chenyan, you’re a really calculative person!”
Shu Qinger’s smile was extremely sarcastic. “People always say that a family’s bond is the easiest to be made use of, but you’re actually having doubts about the things that your brother said?”
“I do believe in my brother, it’s just that he is surrounded by too many bad influences!”
Mu Chenyan recalled that Feng Rao was the one who had delivered the letter to her, and even someone like Yuan Zhe knew about it. Thus, there were indeed too many doubtful points!
Shu Qinger sneered bitterly. “If the saying about how it’s difficult to see through people’s thoughts were true, Mu Chenyan, it must be describing you, right?”
“Despite how smart I am, there’s something that I can’t figure out.”
Mu Chenyan’s tone was extremely calm and it was nothing like the way she had acted just a moment ago.
Shu Qinger scoffed. “Even you have something that you can’t figure out?”
“Since you’ve returned to Luo Hai, why don’t you dare admit that you’re Shu Qinger? After all, this identity has a higher position in the Yuan Family as compared to Zhao Ruoxin!”
This was Mu Chenyan’s doubt.
Shu Qinger smiled coldly. “You’re overthinking it. Since there’s so much that you want to know, why don’t you ask Yuan Xuan personally?”
How did this have anything to do with Yuan Xuan?
If what Shu Qinger said was indeed true and Yuan Xuan really did owe her an important favor, what was so difficult about her admitting that she was Shu Qinger?
If she were to admit it and make use of Yuan Xuan’s previous feelings towards her, was it not easier for her to get closer to Yuan Xuan?
Mu Chenyan was puzzled and she suddenly heard Tian Qi shout from a distance, “Sir, over here!”
A trace of sunlight entered through the door. Yuan Xuan was wearing a white shirt and a black trouser. He casually rolled his sleeves up to his elbows.
They could tell that he had rushed over and was not able to tidy up his clothing. Nevertheless, it did not affect his handsome looks at all.
Yuan Xuan’s tall figure attracted countless attention the moment he stepped into the coffee shop.
Yuan Xuan’s gaze fell on the two women who were sitting at the corner and he strode towards them.
Mu Chenyan would only reveal the uncontrollable restless side of her in front of Yuan Xuan. She did not know why but she felt as though she was doing something behind Yuan Xuan’s back when she saw him appear. The feeling of being caught red-handed was ruining her mood slightly.
It was just like the time when she had almost got into trouble in City C. Yuan Xuan had the exact same look now as compared to the time when he got down from the plane.
“Why didn’t you both invite me over for coffee?”
As Yuan Xuan spoke, he glanced at Mu Chenyan and leaned his body over.
He put his arms around her shoulder and the two women instantly forgot about everything, even though they were struggling and arguing because of conspiracies just a moment ago.
All was well as long as Yuan Xuan was present.
Tian Qi lacked sensibility, so he muffled, “Sir, it’s good that you’ve arrived. Mistress and Miss Zhao were arguing intensely just now. They even threw a lighter onto the ground, so I was thinking whether to hit Miss Zhao if I were to make a move?”
Mu Chenyan was speechless.
Shu Qinger was speechless.
