Chapter 400 The Real Brother (2)
"Qiao Yebai..." Mu Yiliang smiled bitterly, "Since that’s the case, why didn’t you keep using me? Why confess to me?"
The man was silent for a moment, then sneered, "Probably because you’re too foolish. Bullying a fool is really not interesting."
After he spoke, he looked up at her: "So, from now on, you don’t need to worry about me. We never had any relationship, and I have always been deceiving and using you. It’s only right that you hate me."
Mu Yiliang looked at the man’s indifferent side profile and suddenly felt a pang in her heart.
"You say you’ve been using me all along, I believe you." Mu Yiliang’s smile appeared somewhat sorrowful, "It’s not that I didn’t notice, but you indeed helped me a lot. I don’t like to owe favors. Even if there was never any relationship between us, I would still save you this time because you were implicated by me."
Qiao Yebai’s hand paused.
"In my subconscious, I always hoped my brother was still alive so that I could be at ease. After all, if it weren’t for me, he would still be that young master of the Mu Family, without having to endure so much pain..." Mu Yiliang took a deep breath, her smile turning more bitter, "So when you recognized me, I was indeed overjoyed."
"Sorry to disappoint you, your brother is already dead." Qiao Yebai said flatly.
"Really? Is he really dead? Is Mu Yicheng really dead?" She seemed unwilling to give up, continuing to press.
Qiao Yebai didn’t hesitate, staring directly into her eyes, he said clearly, "He is dead, Mu Yicheng is dead, he died when he was fifteen."
Mu Yiliang stared at him in a daze, then suddenly smiled, "So, from now on, you are Qiao Yebai, is that right?"
A strange feeling welled up in the man’s heart, but he had no time to think deeply and still nodded.
Mu Yiliang stared at him for a long time, seeing Qiao Yebai frown, "If you feel you owe me, then this time has repaid it completely, from now on we’re even."
After he spoke, he turned to leave, only to hear a sob from Mu Yiliang.
He turned back and found that this woman was actually crying.
His throat choked slightly, but he forced himself to look away, his voice still cold, "Are you crying for your brother? Actually, you should be relieved. If he were still alive, maybe he’d become like me. That would ruin the image of your brother in your heart."
"Stop talking... Qiao Yebai, stop talking..." Mu Yiliang suddenly felt overwhelming sadness, "Stop lying to me. I know you are Qiao Yebai, but you are also Mu Yicheng. By blood, you are still my brother."
Qiao Yebai trembled slightly, his voice mocking, "Did you not hear what I said all along?"
"I heard it, and I understood some things." Mu Yiliang wiped her tears and smiled at him, "It’s just a pity, I’m not as foolish as you say. I can distinguish between truth and lies."
Qiao Yebai pressed his lips tightly, staring at her intently.
"If you weren’t my brother, you wouldn’t have told this lie, and Yan Sijue wouldn’t have been unable to find out." Mu Yiliang tried to smile, but tears continued to flow, "If such a person as you said, that Mu Yicheng, truly existed, your lie wouldn’t fool anyone."
"You have too much faith in Yan Sijue, don’t you?" Qiao Yebai’s heart was a bit flustered, his tone even more sarcastic, "Since I decided to tell this lie, I naturally made preparations in advance."
